I bought one of these cameras yesterday and when I got it home I couldn't get the battery to take a charge,or the camera to turn on. I took it back to Wal-Mart today and replaced the defective camera with another just like it,and the new one will turn on,but turns off again right away unless I hold the "On" button down. I will be taking this one back tomorrow and replacing it with another brand.

Kodak M893 IS (Silver) 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I bought this Kodak M893 IS camera through KodakAuctions.com on eBay. Mine is refurbished, but anyone would have trouble distinguishing it from new. I paid less than $70 for it at auction. It is a great little camera so far. I have owned three other Kodak digitals over the past 7 years and they all still work great. My first was a DC3400 2.1 MP dinosaur, which has never failed to take a perfect picture. I don't use it anymore because it uses four AA batteries and has a 1.5 inch LCD
and it is very heavy. My second, which I bought almost 4 years ago at
Sam's Club for over $400, is the DX6490(4MP 10Xzoom). It still takes beautiful pictures. It is solidly built, kind of bulky though, and has a great Li-Ion battery life. My third, bought online two years ago for $250($379 retail), is the V550(Silver)5MP. This has been and still is a great camera. I like the fact that it has a 2.5" LCD AND an optical viewfinder. It also still takes great pictures. It is also solidly built with a full metal body. I use this camera all the time. It is so nice to be able to just plop it in the charger dock and it is ready to go whenever I need it. It uses the KLIC-7001 Li-Ion battery, which is the same as the battery in the M893. The M893 has a slightly larger LCD screen (2.7") and lacks any viewfinder. The M893 is much lighter in weight than the V550. (It's housing is mostly plastic). I bought the M893
because of the great price I got it for and for the fact that it is 8+MP.
But, I have found that my 4 and 5 MP cameras take excellent pictures and I don't ever plan on printing any pictures over 8"x10", so I adjusted the settings on the M893 down to 5 megapixels. This way, the pictures take up a lot less memory both in camera and on my computers and still produce excellent photos. So far, my only gripe about this camera is that it has such a long delay time between shots. (It loads the picture into memory then shows you a screenshot of what you just took.) I have found that I can shorten this timespan by pressing the shutter button down partway and the camera will skip showing you your previous shot and immediately be ready for the next one. I also bought this particular model because it has OPTICAL image stabilisation (as opposed to DIGITAL).
So far, I have had no problems to speak of with this camera (or any of my Kodaks for that matter) and I am very pleased with it - especially at the price I paid ($70) which included a 1 year Kodak factory warranty. I
have read several reviews by people who have problems with Kodak or just don't like Kodak for one reason or another. I happen to prefer Kodak over the other brands, mainly because they are relatively easy to use and they have produced good results for me. I have found that digital cameras are not toys, they are delicate electronic instruments. If you treat them with care and protect them and don't abuse them, they will
last a long time and produce many happy memories. This of course doesn't mean that there isn't bad apple or a lemon every once in a while. Maybe I have just been lucky so far. Anyway, I am very satisfied with this camera and give it a 4(out of 5)rating. It is relatively inexpensive compared to the $300 and $400 that we were paying just a couple of years ago for the same features. I would give my V550 and my DX6490 5(out of 5) stars because they came with their charger docks included in the package.

With DIGIC III, you get images of superior quality, the camera functions at top efficiency and battery life is significantly enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's newly improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Beside stills there's highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that's perfect for any application.

Too bad it's not always good! 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I just ran across these customer reviews on the Kodak G600 printer dock and found so many similarities with my experience -- bought the camera first, then the printer in March 2007. Worked great at first -- produces bright, good quality pictures; fairly easy setup between camera directly or computer; no messy ink or toner; BUT.... when it shoots craps, forget it!

I had the same trouble with paper rollers... researched the troubleshooting and did the cleaning with some alcohol and Q-tips, fixed that problem.

Then I was in the process of printing several photos and the color cartridge indicator light came on. After I had taken out the old one and inserted the new one, as I had done numerous times, the printer started up again briefly but then stopped with the red cartridge icon light blinking. When I tried to remove the cartridge, it wouldn't come out. I tried numerous ways for quite a while, even temporarily taking off the top and side panels - we were finally able to remove the cartridge by breaking it (the cartridge) and extracting it in pieces. However, I still could not insert a new cartridge.

Since luckily it was still barely under warranty, I had to get a duplicate sales receipt from the store I purchased it from and ship it to a service center. I think they sent me back a different "refurbished" printer and it has never worked properly... pictures come out very fuzzy or grainy, seems like something's not lined up right.

I guess I'm glad to see I'm not alone with this. I too hope Kodak can do whatever to improve the reliability and longevity of what could be a cool little printer.

Kodak M893 IS (Silver) is A-OK 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I purchased a Kodak M893 IS (Silver) about three weeks ago from KodakAuctions.com on eBay for about $70 refurbished at auction. I have previously owned three other Kodak digital cameras. All three still work great with no problems whatsoever. I bought my first one (DC3400 2.1MP 2x zoom with Compact Flash Card memory)) over seven years ago at Walmart on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) for $99. There were almost no other digital cameras on the market at that time and definitely nothing over 3MP(It retailed for over $200 at that time.) It is a real dinosaur that weighs a ton and uses 4 AA batteries, but it has never failed to take a perfect picture. I don't use it anymore because of its size and weight and its' little 1.5" LCD and the AA batteries (even though they were Ni-Cad rechargeables - it was a hassle because I had to remove them to recharge them.) My second was a DX6490 (4MP 10x zoom with SD card memory and 2" LCD) that I bought for over $400 at Sam's Club about four years ago. It took (and STILL DOES take) beautiful pictures as long as you allow the autofocus enough time to focus in on whatever you happen to be shooting. It has an electronic viewfinder (which is a little tiny LCD in the viewfinder eyelet). I didn't like this feature at first because the screen would black out for a second while it loaded the picture that you just shot to memory and then it would show you a picture of what you just took for a second after that, meaning that you had at least a two second delay between shots unless you used burst mode. It has no dedicated optical viewfinder, only the electronic one. In fact, that was the reason that I returned this camera within the 30 day return period that Sam's Club offers. I then shopped around and still decided that I liked the DX6490 better than anything else that was available at that time. I went back to Sam's to purchase it again and they were sold out - including the one that I had returned. So I had to wait two more weeks until they received more. I still love this camera and have no regrets about repurchasing it, although you can get a Z712 (7MP 12x zoom) which is very similar to the DX6490 for less than half the money that I paid. The Z712 is is mostly plastic, though, and the DX6490 is all rubber-coated metal(kind of heavy and bulky - but solidly built). It uses a proprietary Li-Ion battery that has exceptional shot life. Plus, it came with the charger dock included. It is so nice to just plop the camera down in its' dock and it automatically charges AND you can use the Easyshare feature to download pictures to your computer at the same time. I don't use the Easyshare feature very much because it sends your pictures to a separate Kodak file. I find that it is just as easy to just pull the SD card out and plug it into the SD slot on my computer which sends pictures immediately to my Windows "My Pictures" file. It is nice to know that I have the option to use the Easyshare whenever I might desire to do so. Then there is my third Kodak - the V550 (5MP 3x zoom with SD Card memory). This is really an exceptional camera. It has a dedicated optical viewfinder (a feature that is very rare nowadays in point and shoot cameras)and a 2.5" LCD screen. It has an all metal body and is also solidly built. The V550 is the best all around camera that I have ever owned. It is compact yet comfortable to hold and takes great pictures all the time. It even shows a little green hand in the corner of the LCD screen after taking a picture to let you know that it was perfectly focused. It will show a yellow hand if the picture could have been better and a red hand if the camera thinks that you should delete the picture. The V550 also came with a charger dock included. The whole package retailed for $379 and I purchased it on the internet through AMAZON.com for $225. My wife really loves this camera, too. We always take it with us on vacation and anywhere that we think we may want to take a few pictures. It uses a KLIC-7001 Li-Ion battery (which is the exact same battery that the M893 uses) and has a very acceptible battery life - although not quite as good as the KLIC-5001 that the DX6490 uses. I must have charged this battery hundreds of times on its' charger dock and it still works great every time. I did buy a spare KLIC-7001 battery on the net just to have for a spare to bring along on trips and such and I have only had to use it twice since I have owned the camera. And now, the purpose of this review: the M893 IS camera.(8MP 3x zoom with SD card). 8 megapixels really seems like overkill. Since my V550 takes excellent pictures at 5MP and I don't plan on printing anything larger than 8"x10" anytime soon, I adjusted the MPs down to 5 MP on this M893 temporarily. This saves a lot of memory space on both the SD card and on my computer. This camera is almost exactly the same size as the V550, although it weighs only about half as much because of the mostly plastic body. The LCD screen is 2.7" and takes up about half of the back of the body. I don't like the fact that it doesn't have a dedicated optical viewfinder, but I guess that this gigantic LCD kinda makes up for that. The main reason that I bought this camera (besides the ridiculously low price) is that it has OPTICAL image stabilization(IS) whereas most of the other Kodak M-Series cameras come with DIGITAL image stabilization, and the fact that it uses the same battery as my V550 so I can swap them if I so desire. It has "Face Recognition" focusing firmware and "Perfect Picture" firmware and the ability to edit the pictures right in the camera before you ever download them. It will also shoot in 16:9 widescreen mode if you choose and it also has a panoramic stitching feature. This is really a nice little camera. It does not come with a charger dock like the V550 or the DX6490, but I can plug their AC chargers (5V DC 2A) directly into the M893 and it charges right up. The only thing that I really don't like about this camera is: when I press the shutter button there is a brief delay (noticeably longer than the V550) before it takes the picture. I suppose this is because of the Facial Recognition focusing and the optical image stabilization. It also seems to take an extraordinarily long time to load the picture that you just took into memory, all the while showing you a picture of what you just shot on the LCD. I have found that I can avoid this delay by pressing lightly on the shutter button and it immediately moves into focus mode for the next shot, bypassing the time it takes to show you the last picture taken. I have read several reviews from people who seem to really dislike Kodak cameras. I personally have had great experiences with all of mine. I have found that digital cameras are not toys and that if you treat them with care and protect them from abuse, they will last a long time and provide many years of great service and memories. I always keep mine in protective cases and never carry them loosely in my pocket or throw them around carelessly. This doesn't mean that there won't be an occasional bad apple or lemon, but overall I feel that Kodak is as good or better than any other camera for the money. I have owned this M893 for almost a month and I am very satisfied with it. I only gave it a four* out of five* rating because it did not come with a charger dock included as did my V550 and my DX6490. I would give each of THEM 5 out of 5 stars. By the way, I do recommend purchasing the M893. Even refurbished cameras from Kodak come with a full one year warranty. Thank you for taking the time to read all the way through this. I know that it was kind of long.

KODAK RIPS OFF THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS CAMERA 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this camera for my office. I had to convince my boss that Kodak was a good camera and the dock system was the way to go...unfortunately my recommendation turned out to be a nightmare!! We spent almost $300 for the camera and dock station - haven't taken 75 pictures with the camera and it is junk! When I turn the camera on it extends the lense about 1/4" and then retracts and shuts itself off. I tried all of the sites from Kodak and after numerous correspondence with Kodak the conclusion is: 1. I can send the camera back to them and for $125.00 they will fix it. (I can buy a new one for $129.00) 2. I can send the camera in and they would sell me a "refurbished" camera for between $250-$300. OR 3. Pitch the piece of junk camera and buy anything else but a KODAK....I'm going with #3 !!! Save your money and time trying to deal with Kodak!!

Kodak's warranty is awful! 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This camera arrived not working properly. I sent it to Kodak's warranty company and it was sent back as "repaired". I then stored the "repaired" camera for about 3 weeks till I used it again. It was not repaired and again did not work properly. I returned the camera again and was denied warranty. Not only that but Kodak's repair company wanted the same price to repair this camera again as buying an updated version. They also required rediculous return shipping and "evaluation" fees - $35 to get a unusable camera back. So I completely lost out. This was the very worst experience I have ever had with a company. Kodak has lost my business forever.

Bang for your buck 5 out of 5 stars.

I researched extensively before I bought this camera. I wanted the most for the least- the most features for the least amount of money! And I got it. I wanted a large LCD screen, 6 megapixels, a light, small model, that didn't require batteries, and that was under $300.

Pros: Great battery life- lasts a long time on a single charge and gives you adequate low batter warning. Even when the warning comes one, pictures can still be taken. The first couple of times I used it, I tried to let the battery drain itself out before I charged it again, as I have heard that that makes the battery last longer.

fast start up and picture speed- It starts up very quickly and the downtime between pictures is minimal.

small size but big screen- I could carry it in my pocket (even thought i don't!) and it's very lightweight- but the LCD screen is still substantial. The screen is not as big as some, but much bigger than others!

picture quality- pictures I ordered that were taken from this camera looked amazing! the colors were sharp and the pictures were clear

preset picture settings- I love the preset picture settings for different types of picture taking situations- i.e. bright snow scenes, bright beach scenes, candlelight, scenery. It lets me adjust the settings on the camera without actually having to do anything!

Cons: The only con I can come up with is that it doesn't take great pictures at night or in low light. most of the time it takes better pictures with the flash off and to get a good low light picture i have to fiddle with the options a bit. There is no good night setting, but that is really my only complaint!
