Kodak easyshare c330

This is a blog about a digicam which is affordable. The C330 has a remarkable still picture quality. It stays the same even if you choose the lower 1.0 MP resolution. The multiple flash with automatic red-eye reduction works well too. The zoom is also one of its plus points. Also, the on-camera cropping feature allows you to discard the unwanted parts from pictures.
The video mode is fixed at 320 x 240 pixels and 20 frames per second and the quality is good but audio capture is not so good. The video quality is good but you have to set the focus (zoom) before starting the video capture as the camera doesn't allow you to zoom in or out in the middle of a recording.
But, one of the most significant limitations is the battery life. It demands 2 pairs of cells to capture 50 pictures and around 3 minutes of video footage. Thus a set of rechargeable heavy duty batteries is a must for this cam.
Apart from the limiting factors, overall performance of the camera is good and at times better than what we can expect at that price. The C330 is available for around Rs. 7500 with a one year warranty, and is a good buy for new or first time users who want a easy-to-use digital camera with a fair amount of features.
