Kodak Easyshare C533 5 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom

The camera is very basic and simple--exactly why I wanted to replace the one I had used for years in my business but had gotten wet. The provider went beyond the expected. He expedited the delivery at no extra charge, the camera was in better condition than advertised, included fresh batteries, AND included a 2G SD card. He even wrote a personal note to go with. I like this camera more than any newer, "better" model because it takes clear indoor and outdoor photos with little input from me as I am not a photographer. It uses AA batteries (which are very easily replaced even when I am in remote places) and has a separate slot for the SD card.

I bought this camera to replace a 3MP Kodak CX series when I thought I had lost it. My 3MP took great pics and I never had any problems with it and I didn't want to have to learn to use a different brands software. The Kodak easyshare software didn't impress me much when I bought the first camera but they have made some improvements and the updated version is much better. The Kodak gallery is a nice option that allows you to share pics without sending large email files. I haven't used the C533 a lot since I bought it but the pics I've taken have come out great. But just like the other reviews state, slow shutter speed at low light and it does like batteries. However, if you spend the extra money for the Lithium batteries you'll get much improved battery life. All in all a great value and a perfect camera for a point and shoot person.

Nice camera and VERY easy to use! Item shipped quickly so highly recommend and would buy again.

Well, others have had their say, so let me just add this. How can anyone in the 21st century make a camera that can't be used as though it were a usb disk drive. My first kodak digital camera was this dumb, but now, 10 years later I see these fools still don't understand how the rest of the world works. I don't want to have to install their stupid software, what if I'm not at home and want to load my pics on another machine. I guess I have to carry around an sd card reader. Also, 1.45 volt alkaline batteries wouldn't even turn this puppy on. I had to use brand new 1.55 volt batteries. I'm thinking of returning this if I can since, naturally none of my 1.25-1.35 volt nimh rechargeables would work either. Just to be sure, I put the 1.45 batteries into a standard 2 D cell flashlight (by using AA to D adapter shells) and it's as bright as anything brand new. And if you know flashlights you know the brightness is a very good measure of how much voltage the batteries can put out when in a circuit - even better than using a meter, unless you put a load on or use a special battery circuit with a load. So, if batteries this good won't even budge this camera, then forgetaboutit! After trying many batteries, it is possible that this is just my camera, but other's seem to have had the same problems. So, I can't say if this is an un-feature of this camera, or if mine is just overly sensitive to the input voltage. Oh, one more issue. They keep mentioning an a/v out, but there really isn't one. They imply you can hook directly to a tv, but you can't. All there is is a usb port, so you'd still have to install their software, and use that to transfer the files (instead of simply drag/drop) and then if you have a tv that can hook up to a computer, then you could show the pictures or videos on the tv. They act like you can just hook up a pair of a/v cables to the camera and the tv. I'd have to say someone screwed da pooch here. I don't think they are referring to the docking station connector either, as that is not where they point and say a/v out in the manual. The manual also says that it outputs either ntsc or pal. Either way, I can't find out how and they don't show any pictures of any a/v outputs. I bought this here for a low price of under $60 and even then I wouldn't buy it had I known better.

The camera is nice, screen is clear, creates nice pictures. A great camera for a teen or anyone who needs to get used to taking digital pictures. The only problem with this camera is that it eats batteries. I would suggest purchasing rechargeable batteries. Also my daughter's camera only lasted a little over a year, and then it broke. When I took it to a camera shop to see if it could be repaired, they told me the computer chip was damaged due to age, and would cost more to replace it than to buy a new one.

Bought this replacement for identical one I owned that took a dip in the Pacific Ocean. Love the quality of the pictures and the ease in printing out pictures with the easyshare machine

Camera will only take 8 photos unless you can find first generation sd card, I was unable to locate card so I returned it

I had this Same Camera at one time and eather I lost it or something else happen to it and I know I am going to enjoy this one as Much as I did then. Can't wait to have it back in my hands again.
