What reviewers and users are saying:
“Takes mediocre pictures. Unless you’re outside in bright light chances are you won’t get a very good picture. Indoor shots in low light are not very good. Lots of noise in pictures.”-htownchica
“The Kodak EasyShare M883 is a very stylish camera with some nice features, such as the Face Detection, Kodak Perfect Touch technology, etc. However, there is a real problem with the noise in all of the photographs even at the lowest ISO settings. This really takes away from the quality of the images that it captures.”- Steve’s Digicams
“So if you are looking for an easy to use camera, which is stylish, small, easy to use and takes fantastic clear pictures then I highly recommend that you consider purchasing this model.”-just.bcoz
Our comment:
If not for its slim, lightweight and compact design, the M883 would be unworthy of your money. As the first two reviews said, there’s a problem with regards to resolution of photos taken on low light environment. You’ve got to be a real Kodak camera fan to appreciate this new model.
