What gadget can you get for $100? Do you think $100 is too less to buy a cool gadget? Well, think again. These days, $100 can get you a Kodak EasyShare C913 digital camera. This camera is feature packed and provides you with all the features that you might expect from a 35mm film point and shoot camera. As far as quality is concern, for $100, just expect snapshot-quality photos with the C913.
The camera features a 9.2 megapixels sensor and delivers large image files. The camera sports a plastic body that is both rugged and comfortable. The shape of this camera is kind of unusual as its 3X lens does not go inside the camera front. The size of the camera permits you to keep it inside your pocket with ease. You need to put a couple of AA batteries to power this camera.
The C913 features an LCD that is 3 inches big. This LCD is situated toward the back of the camera and experiences vertical streaking in case you shoot images in bright light. If you try to compare the image quality of this camera with that offered by rival cameras of this category, you will find the C913 to lose a little bit. But again, for a $100 price tag, C913’s image quality is pretty much usable.
The C913 boasts of a big mode dial on its top. The camera boasts of shooting modes like auto, landscape, movie, macro, and also a few scene modes. At the back of the camera, you will find controls for delete, playback, zoom, and menu options.
The C913 functions the best in its automatic-shooting modes as the autofocus, in addition to being fast, is also reliable. The C913 usually shoots with the flash while you are clicking in the auto mode and thereby gives better results.
The camera lacks the face detection feature and the smile detection feature in it. It does offer controls for exposure compensation, changes in ISO settings, changes in white balance, etc. As far as video is concerned, the C913 offers 640 by 480 video that is shot at 30 frames per second. In case you want a simple camera for basic snap shooting delivers purposes, the C913 is a good choice and offers good results.
After having a Kodak Easy Share in the past, I thought it was time to upgrade.
This camera eats batteries up like nothing! I have put about 12 batteries in this camera within a month. I now have the rechargable type, but they still drain very fast.
