Kodak EasyShare C813 8.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

For the money, this works great. Simple 2 operate, quality pictures & works nice with both XP & Vista. Have not had the chance 2 plug it into my Linux unit yet, so that I can not comment on.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT purchase this camera. It is absolutely a piece of junk. It is horrible! I hate it! The optical zoom is a joke, the 8.2 mp do not make a difference & there is always a delay (when you press the button 2 take a picture, it doesn't work right away). A lot of times, the pictures turn out fuzzy. It is inexpensive 4 a reason - it's not worth anything. It's definitely worth it 2 spend a little more money 2 have a nice quality camera.

The instruction booklet is easy 2 follow. I am more a user than a reader
and I took pictures immediately. Did myself a misfavor by not reading; I left the camera on & drained my batteries. Overall it is easy 2 use & I'm happy. Great shipping. Thanks 2 the seller.

I bought this camera 2 backup my Canon Sx100. I acquired it as it came as a real bargain ($35) bundled with a movie on DVD I bought at BB. It works fine except that the C813 would not power on with two types of NIMH batteries I have. Using quality rechargeable batteries solved the problem & 4 the price I paid this camera is performing well & then some! (decent quality pictures & short video clips, easy 2 operate & light weight)

I bought this camera (pink colored) from a local store. When I opened the camera it didn't work correctly & instead of just trying 2 return it 2 the store I followed the instructions inside the package stating that I shouldn't return the camera 2 the store & instead should contact Kodak support. HUGE MISTAKE! I was directed 2 send the camera 2 a repair facility (at my own cost I might add) & told they would fix it & send it back. I received a letter from the repair facility stating that they couldn't fix the camera & that Kodak would send me a replacement camera. Kodak indeed sent me a different camera; one that was refurbished & a different color. I specifically bought the camera because it was pink as I already have a silver one. I called Kodak customer service which was another joke. I could barely hear or understand the people. In addition, I was told that they had no pink in the C813 so I was out of luck. They told me the had a cheaper model C713 in pink that they could send me instead. I asked 4 a refund since this isn't what I had originally purchased & they told me they couldn't do that, that only the store I had purchased it from could've provided me with a refund but since I followed their instructions (sending the camera in 4 repair), I no longer have the original camera 2 return in order 2 get a refund!!!! I looked on this website 4 a refurbished C813 in pink & what do you know, they have one!! When I pointed this out 2 the guy on the phone, he told me that this website & the warehouse where they were sending my replacement from were two different entities & therefore I still couldn't get the camera I wanted. So in the end, my options were 2 either keep the silver one that I didn't want or suck it up & take the cheaper one in pink. I really wanted a pink one, so I'm out the $10 price difference, the difference in camera features & the original cost of shipping the camera 4 repair. They did arrange 4 UPS 2 pick up the old camera at their expense, after I told them I wasn't paying 2 return a second camera. I guess the moral of my story is that if you buy a camera that doesn't work, insist that the store you bought it from take it back; DO NOT send it 2 Kodak 4 repair because who knows what you'll end up with after all is said & done!!
UPDATE: So the pink C713 I was suppose 2 get never arrived; instead they sent me back the Silver C813. Obviously the communication within Kodak stinks because they thought I sent the C813 in 4 repair! They returned the camera with a note that stated "we found your camera 2 be in working order...." when it was in fact suppose 2 be exchanged 4 the pink one. AGGGGGHHHH! I give up!!!!
