Kodak M853 Overview

The Kodak EasyShare M853 Digital Camera is loaded with a vast array of features that make great picture-taking incredibly simple. The camera has a resolution of 8.1 Megapixels, which allows you to print clear, crisp images up to 30" x 40" in size, and a 3x optical zoom lens that makes the camera great for typical family and vacation shooting.

In addition the camera has a high ISO setting that can produce clearer pictures in low-light situations, Digital Image Stabilization, and incorporates Kodak Perfect Touch Technology so you can take consistently better shots under all sorts of shooting conditions. Plus, the vibrant 2.5-inch LCD screen is perfect for instantly sharing clear, bright pictures and videos whether inside or outdoors.

Exceptional Image Quality
8.1 megapixels of resolution means you can make stunning prints up to 30" x 40", and you'll capture bright, beautiful color with the Kodak Color Science technology built right into the camera.
3x Optical Zoom Lens
The Kodak 3x optical zoom lens captures crisp details with a focal length equivalent of 37mm - 111mm that gets you closer to your subjects without losing image quality. There is also a 5x digital zoom that gets you even closer to your subject.
Versatile Scene and Color Modes
It's easy to get great shots time after time with 17 programmed scene modes, including auto, portrait, self portrait, sport, night portrait, snow, beach, fireworks, backlight, children, party, close up, and landscape. You can also have fun with five color modes (3 color settings, sepia, and black & white).
Shoot Video with Ease
Capture life in motion with continuous VGA video (640 x 480 at 15 fps), featuring audio capture and playback, and you'll capture more video while using less memory with MPEG-4 compression. Plus a video print option allows users to produce 1, 4, 9, and 16-up prints from video clips.
High ISO Sensitivity
The camera can automatically select from ISO 80 to ISO 1250 based on lighting conditions to capture images with all the details even in low light.
