Kodak EasyShare M853 Review

The Kodak EasyShare M853 sits in the middle of the M series, a range of simple point and shoots that come in a variety of colors. It’s a steal at around £79, but we quickly found that the price reflects the lack of features.

Although the M853 is eminently pocketable, it’s not the slimmest camera in the world. Considering the absence of features such as optical image stabilization, it’s actually rather chunky. Despite this, the buttons manage to be too small. The screen is the standard 64mm (2.5 inches).

The Kodak M853 is simple and affordable, and takes pictures. There isn’t much else to say about it. While we recognize the value of budget compacts, it’s hard to like a camera this undistinguished. The Nikon Coolpix L11 packs features such as face detection into a similar price point, while an extra £50 outlay will buy the far superior Fujifilm FinePix F40fd.

Lacklustre speed, terrible low-light performance and a lack of features far outweigh the simplicity and user-friendliness of the M853, making it a frustration to use.
