Does anyone have the Kodak C813? I'm wondering if it's any good. Decided that having a digital camera instead of relying on the one on my phone would be a good idea but I'm on a BIT of a tight budget at the mo.

Was browsing Kick online and this is down from £109 to £49.99 http://www.btowstore.com/epages/Stor.../0168/22/00%22
Good bargain I'm thinking but just wanted to get some perspective of what the camera is actually like.

Would appreciate anyone's input on this!

Thanks!

For £50 it's decent enough.

There are certainly better cameras out there ..... but not for £50. It's gonna take far better pictures than a camera phone though .... no question about that.

Thanks for that Sancheeez

I was thinking of spending a bit more than that but because that was down from the price it was I wondered how good it would be.
Thanks for your reply!

If you want a bit more detailed customer feedback, have a look at this:

http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/digi...t-reviews.html

Image quality wise, Kodaks are OK. Not the best in the world but perfectly decent.

Looks like this one takes decent enough pictures, but from looking at those reviews, it's power switch would appear to be it's weak point .... an awful lot of complaints about them failing on that.

Like I say, for £50, it'll take decent pictures ..... but the reliability of the unit itself looks like it's more likely to be an issue.

*** FINAL EDIT ***

£50 isn't actually that great a price either.

HP are selling then for a couple of quid less ....

No mention of it being reduced there. Thats just their standard price.
