very pleased:
I purchased this camera about a month ago & have been very happy w/ the quality of the pictures, and the camera in general. We use the camera quite often & the pics it takes both indoors and out have exceeded my expectations. It is easy to use. I have no hesitancy recommending this camera to others & was thinking of buying one for my mom for the holidays.

Warning for people who own the Kodak Printer Dock Plus!:
I purchased this camera with the intention of using it with my current Kodak Printer Dock Plus, but it is not compatible even with the D-22 adapter that Kodak says that you need. According to Kodak, the 2007 model cameras are not compatible with the adapter. To date I have not received a satifactory resolution from Kodak. I am sharing this in the hopes that I can save someone else the frustration. If you purchase this camera, plan on purchasing the G610 printer dock if you want a compatible printer dock, as that is Kodak's recommendation. As far as the camera itself, I have been pleased with the quality of the pictures (at least how they look on the LCD) and the fast shutter speed. I am but a casual camera user, I regret that I cannot even say photographer! Only gave it a 1 star rating for the printer compatibility issue and the customer support given by Kodak to date.

Digital Pocket Camera:
The Kodak Esyshare M853 is very easy to use. the owner's guide is easy to understand. The photo quality is excellent. The compactness allows it to be carried comfortably in the shirt or trouser/shorts pockets. The recovery time is very good.

Cheap camera, cheaper looking pictures:
This camera is several steps below in photo quality than my 4 mp camera (very grainy) and lasted only 8 months before it just stopped working. Next time I will shop around rather than making a quick decision on a day after Thanksgiving sale.

Battery problems:
This camera uses a proprietary Kodak battery, not standard AAA or AA cells. Your are out of business if you can't recharge the battery. If you're taking many photos, there are no easy battery replacements.
