“ The Kodak EasyShare M853 is an entry-level camera that is mediocre (or worse) in almost all areas. While it does offer a simple interface, good battery life, and attractive software bundle, its poor photo quality and miserable low light shooting ability make this a camera that I cannot recommend. Better options are available in this price range.
The M853 is a compact camera that bears a strong resemblance to Sony's W-series models. The body is made of a mix of plastic and metal, and build quality is average for this category. I wasn't a fan of the plastic tripod mount, flimsy door over the memory card/battery slot, or the tiny buttons and dials on the top of the camera. The M853 has a run-of-the-mill 3X zoom lens (with a focal length of 37 - 111 mm) as well as a 2.5" LCD display with a so-so 154,000 pixel resolution. While the LCD's outdoor visibility was okay, in low light the camera becomes almost unusable, as the screen doesn't brighten automatically (like virtually every camera on the market). As with most cameras in this class, the EasyShare M853 lacks an optical viewfinder.
The EasyShare M853 is a point-and-shoot camera, with no "true" manual controls (the exception is a slow shutter speed option). You will find plenty of scene modes though, for virtually every situation you could think of. The camera offers two seemingly identical modes -- Hi-ISO and digital image stabilization -- both of which work by boosting the ISO. Hopefully my ISO test above illustrated why those two modes should be avoided. If you're confused about any of the shooting modes or menu options, you can press the Info button to get a help screen. The camera's EasyShare system, coupled with Kodak's still-excellent bundled software, make sharing photos and videos a piece of cake. Fans of movie modes may be disappointed with the M853, as it can only record at a choppy 15 frames/second at the VGA resolution... ”
