Kodak Easyshare C713 Digital Camera - Silver (7.0MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.4" LCD Reviews

This camera dies after a few weeks
I am very very disappointed with this camera, as I thought it would be good value for money. I have bought this camera TWICE from Amazon after the first one would not turn on. I am very careful to look after them and it was never dropped or anything. However, both of them refused to turn on after just a few weeks, despite changing batteries several times to see if it needed new ones. I had faith in Kodak and so swapped the first one for a replacement, but it has happened again, showing that this model or a large batch are faulty. Don't waste your time.

Good camera - awful software
This camera is great for the price and does all that you need for snap shots of days out and the like. What lets it down is the amazingly tedious software that you have to use with it. It is annoying and should be unnecessary however you must use it to transfer the pictures off the camera. It would be much better if you could just access it as regular USB removable storage.

If you think you can tolerate the appalling software then I'd recommend this camera. Sadly it sucks too much to give it the full five stars.

Excellent and easy to use but the battery life is very poor I have changed the battery twice and have only taken a few pictures.

Think before you buy
I am very disappointed, I bought this camera for my 17 yr old son, The first night he got it, he took it out and dropped it, it shattered. So he thought he would buy himself the same thing, the first night he had the second one, he bumped it while in it's case, the camera went dead and can not be used. So yes it might be a good camera but so very weak, oh and just don't take it out. After spending £100 my son still has no camera. Talk about bad luck.

Good (while it lasted!)
Very good performance and features for the money. The 7M pixels is maybe a bit excessive: the resolution being limited by the lens and the picture compression, but this is perfectly OK for family and holiday photos.
You'll need an additional SD card (about £4 for 2GB) to store 2000 pictures or so.
However, the camera went dead after about 25 photos, so I'd score 10/10 for features and 0/10 for endurance.
