Kodak EasyShare C663 Review

Review Summary
Review: "Making easy-to-use cameras has long been Kodak's bread and butter and the new EasyShare C663 is no exception. With a simple set of controls and a simple user interface - not to mention the camera's seamless pairing with Kodak's popular and, yes, easy-to-use Printer Docks - the C663 appears to be yet another straightforward Kodak camera with mass market appeal. Where the 6-megapixel, 3x optical C663 breaks new ground though is in being the first digital camera from Kodak to incorporate Kodak Perfect Touch, a proprietary technology previously only offered on its printers, kiosks, or via lab processing for digital images and film.

Where the Kodak C663 stumbles is in the details. Kodak Perfect Touch is a great concept that helped improve some of my images with low-light problems but finding and using the feature is harder than it should be. Also, it didn't always perform up to snuff, particularly in images with high contrast shot at ISO 400 and above. Similarly, the camera struggled with low-light shooting in general, with lots of noise and softness in images captured at the high ISO sensitivities."

Hands-on Preview: "The Kodak EasyShare C663 is a 6.1 megapixel compact point-and shoot camera that is the first to include Kodak's Perfect Touch image processing technology. Kodak claims that this technology (similar to that used in their film processing mini-labs) improves the quality of the images by altering the dynamic range to boost dark areas and bring out shadow details. The EasyShare C663 costs $299.95 and will be available in March.

The Kodak Easyshare C663 is part of Kodak's point-and-shoot series, and, in combination with the EasyShare printer, provides a quick and easy way to take pictures and make prints if you want to give copies of photos to people at a party, for instance. But there are cheaper point-and-shoot cameras available, and the C663 lacks image stabilization and a number of features, like customizable white balance and manual focus, which may be a problem for more advanced users."
