Customer Reviews:

• COmplicated, but nice
  This is a really neat little camera, small and light with more than adequate features for someone who wants to do a bit more than point and shoot.It takes some time to learn, and can be a bit confusing. The booklet that comes with the camera is ok for the basics, but I recommend downloading the full manual from Kodak to fully utilize the camera's features.On the down side is the very short battery life, so I would recommend carrying a spare....more info
• Improvement from my last
  I replaced my second Nikon Coolpix with this Kodak. Thus far, I am liking it a lot.
  
  The reaction time from pressing the button to the actual shot is fast enough that it captures my 2 and 5 year olds right when I want it to. No facial expressions lost, no photos of only the back of a head or one foot running away.
  
  I will fully admit to using the point and shoot options much more than all the fussy ones. I took a few self portraits on that setting and my husband is enjoying the panorama setting. Both of us have used the video.
  
  My husband bought it for me and I suspect the fact that it had HD video capability was top on his list. I appreciate the ease of use, the large screen and small size that enables me to keep it in my front pocket at all times. I never lose a cute shot that way.

• very good product, price is so great
  it has so many functions and very convenient to use. the photo quality is good at good light condition. Don't compare it with over $800 SLR digital cameras :)
  
  it has HD video record function. however, the video quality can not match real digital HD camcorder performance. again, don't compare it with over $800 HD camcorders :)
  
  the lithium battery is great. the very bright and large display is great. the joystick of the menu is great.
  
  if somebody likes touch screen, V1073 may be a good choice. i don't like touch screen very much.

• Great Little Camera!
  Very practical camera with it's small compact design that takes big pictures. Big viewing area. So far seems to work perfect. I love it. I had an older Easyshare, much more bulky and slower taking pictures and the viewing area was too small to really make out if picture was any good. Would definitely recommend this one....more info
• A so-so camera with SERIOUS WEAKNESSES
  I picked the M1033 up at a local Best Buy, intending to replace my decrepit 3.3Megapixel Olympus. I wanted a small form-factor camera with high resolution, and passable video I could use so my wife wouldn't have to lug around our video camera for occasional use.
  
  At first, I was excited, but the glamor wore off quickly. I would not recommend the device without SIGNIFICANT CAVEATS. Read on...
  
  * Form factor: the camera is friggin tiny. That's excellent -- what I was looking for.
  
  * Still image quality: once you turn OFF the digital zoom, the image quality is as good as one would expect from a ten megapixel camera. However, if you zoom all the way in on the image (on your computer), you'll see compression artifacts because it exports JPEG files, rather than PNG or TIFF. This dims my otherwise stellar recommendation.
  
  * Video quality is HORRIBLE, especially in low light. I was SHOCKED at how awful the video is. Why would I take 720p high-definition video if the image quality is noisy and grainy? IF VIDEO IS EVEN REMOTELY A PURCHASING CONCERN FOR YOU, YOU WILL NOT BE SATISFIED WITH THIS PRODUCT.
  
  * Video format is Quicktime MOV. If you have a Mac, this is no big deal. For the rest of us, this is a pain. EDITING QUICKTIME MOVIES REQUIRES PURCHASING ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE.
  
  * The unit's basic layout could stand significant improvement. For example, the position of the lens makes it a natural place to hold the camera, which is okay when it's turned off. However, once you hit the power button, it's very easy to brush the lens with your fingertips.
  
  Further, the EasyShare connector (NOTE: proprietary USB plug) is located very close to the tripod shoe connector. This means that you have to choose between installing a quick-release shoe for your tripod and plugging it into USB. I can understand this (somewhat), as the camera just isn't very big and you have to put these things somewhere.
  
  Still, together, this is very disappointing. I'm imagining that I'd have to clean the lens A LOT due to fingerprints.
  
  * the buttons on the top row are easy to hit at the same time. This resets the camera to factory configuration. I discovered this six seconds after handing it to my wife. Fortunately, it's easy to reconfigure, but I don't intend to reset the clock on the thing every few weeks.
  
  * volume control for the unit appears to be universal -- the sounds the camera makes are controlled by the same logic that limits sound of video playback. This control is buried in the setup system. So, when I turn the camera's insipid sound effects down to the minimum, I can't easily hear the video soundtrack even on maximum playback volume. Poor design choice.
  
  * joystick-stud is difficult to use for some people. Like my wife, or me when I get excited. Pushing the button in (ENTER) often causes the stick to go in one direction or another. Imagine doing this on a very cold day.
  
  * Digital zoom RUINS the image quality. Make SURE to turn it off or you'll be wondering why you bought a 10MP camera.
  
  SUMMARY: This camera is for you if you can meet ALL of the following criteria:
  1. you want very high-resolution images and small form-factor
  2. you can tolerate extremely poor quality video (or don't need video at all)
  3. you have a way to edit (or don't need to edit) the quicktime movies the camera produces in such low quality.
  4. you seldom or never use a tripod
  5. you have tiny, agile fingers and never take pictures in cold weather
  6. you can remember to immediately turn off the digital zoom

• Jack's Review of Kodax M1033 Camera
  This is a great digital camera. Takes very good images and is easy to use. However the instructions are skimpy and, although this camera replaced an older Kodak camera, which means I knew something about this make camera, the learning curve was longer than I expected.
  
  Now that I am onto the opreations, I love it! ...more info
• EXCEPTIONAL LITTLE CAMMERA
  I'm loving my new compact camera that fits so easily into my purse. The battery life is great, the 3" LCD screen is fabulous and with Smart Capture I just have to point and shoot !! My friends have all seen it and want one now too !!! I am definitely glad I chose to buy another Kodak !...more info
• Happy
  I bought a camera for my daughters birthday. It was a good price, arrived in a timely manner, in good condition. This product was labeled refurbished, I was skeptical, it looks brand new and works well. My daughter was happy and so was I. ...more info
• Strongly recomended
  I had already bought a camera like this one (exact same camera) for myself.. and i bought this one for my sister.. is a greeeat point-and-shoot camera it has some functions (that i dont really use LOL).. the quality of the pictures is awsome. Sometimes its a little slow but that's because of the memory stick i bought (dont be cheap.. buy a high speed one).. Ive droped the camera a couple of times and its still working as new.
  I would strongly recomend it!... great camera for just a few bucks ;)...more info
• Simplicity is awesome
  After shopping cameras for a while I decided to veer away from the feature heavy "premier" brands I've purchased in the past and go for one that does exactly what I need it to do: Point and shoot fast, with minimal tinkering, for great shots in a small form factor. This Kodak does it. The auto scene selection in particular is impressive. You can choose the scenes manually, but taking shots in auto select mode always turns out really good pictures. The camera is small enough for me to carry in my front pockets and remain barely noticible. Power on and ready to snap is less than two seconds, the screen is spacious, and the firmware is logical and easy to navigate. If you are heavy into the world of digital photography you probably shouldn't even be looking at this camera but if you are looking for something quick, easy and quality this might be the camera that ends your search....more info
• Great little camera!
  For us, it was pretty simple. We wanted a small camera that we could easily fit in a pocket, purse, etc. so that we could have it with us for more of life's events and, therefore, take more pictures. We've had a larger "prosumer" model for years that takes great pictures but we rarely had the camera with us for those spontaneous "in the moment" photo opportunities because the camera was just too big to lug around. So the size of the Kodak M1033 was one of the primary factors in our purchase. Of course, the picture quality was also a concern. With the decent reviews the camera received, we decided to give it a try.
  
  In short, we love it!!! It is small enough to fit in any pocket which means we can carry it with us whenever and wherever we choose. For our purposes, it takes great pictures. And it has great features for such a small and inexpensive camera. I'm sure professionals would (and do) find fault with the picture quality. However, years from now when I'm looking through pictures I was able to get because I happened to have my Kodak M1033 with me at just the right place and time, I doubt I'll care much if the picture quality wasn't technically on point due to the saturation of grey around the edges when the picture is cropped and magnified 100 X's. I'll just be glad I got the pic! Kudos to Kodak for making such a user friendly, solid, simple, and small camera!...more info
• Pretty good
  We have been pleased with this camera so far, no problems and it seems to do everything we need it too. Definitly not a professional camera but it more than meets our needs.
  
  It is a little slow on start up and takes its time between pictures but the features and ease of use make up for this. we especially like the video feature and how easy it is to switch between video and picture. ...more info
• Good camera for under $150
  I got this camera for Christmas and I really love it. It takes clear, crisp pictures and it has many features built right in. I rarely get a blury picture and it performs pretty well in low light too. I have some good night shots taken with this camera. It lives up to my expectations. The only reason I gave it four stars is because although the video quality is pretty good, the videos aren't as clear as my last Kodak camera I had. But I would recommend this camera if you are looking for something inexpensive yet effective and will deliver quality pictures whether for posting online or printing!...more info
• Kodak m1033
  Received camera in time expected. First turn-on was a problem that lens came out but nothing else happened. Took out battery and put it back in. Problem solved. This type of thing has happened twice more but seems to be a software glitch that is solved by taking out battery and replacing it.
  
  The pictures are beautiful and in focus. When you press the button halfway, it takes a short time to acquire focus and then the little bracket in the screen turns green and the camera chimes to let you know it is focussed. Works great. I have used it mostly outside and inside with flash. Photos with flash are a little darker but look very good. You can adjust brightness if you switch to the programmed mode, but you have to do it every time that you turn the camera on.
  
  It is small but not too small so you can get a good grip on it. I shot a couple of HD videos outside (of my cats) that look good. They are in 720p and I can play them on my iMac computer with no problem using Quicktime player. Colors are great and video is sharp. Only problem is camera takes a second to refocus when you zoom it, but you can zoom during a video. Tripod works best to keep picture from shaking.
  
  All in all, I'm very satisfied with this camera's performance at a very reasonable price. ...more info
• Kodak M1033
  For the price this camera does the job. It is little hard to get clear picture at maximum zoom but that is because I have problem and shake quite a bit with monopod it is great...The controls have better feel than my Kodak M753 that is why I bought it. Kodak cameras are very easy to figure out and use...cwthornhill...more info
• kodak black/black camera
  i shopped around quite a bit, and ended up picking this up for $130 i believe... it has the largest sized screen for the price, and takes great quality pictures. perfect for a college aged student that's on the go all the time, and wants a nice--not super expensive like D40--good looking camera....more info
• Fantastic & so easy-to-use camera!
  Fantastic camera, i bought for my wife b/c I thought it would be easy to use based on reviews... and... I was right! What a hit! We just had a brand new addition to our family and wife wants to take lots of pics.. this camera is so easy to use, you just turn it on & you're on your way!
  It takes excellent pics right out of the box and no need to tweak anything!
  
  Also she likes the sleep look of the camera and that it's compact.
  
  Also takes pretty good HD video, but not good enough to tape like more than just a few minutes..
  
  You just can't go wrong with this if you are looking for a great easy-to-use camera for a great price!...more info
• Nice Camera
  We bought this camera for our son and he loves it. It takes great pictures and is user friendly....more info
• Kodak? Never again!
  This fine little Kodak M1033 never worked. Out of the box, the video function was intermittent. Within hours all functions froze up. The camera won't respond to the push of any button. It cannot be reset (by removing the battery, for instance).
  
  Meant to be a present, this camera was first used more than a month after the date of purchase. Since Staples store warranty covers 30 days only, the camera could not be returned for a full refund.
  
  Kodak graciously offers to repair it--and they annoy their customers with a call center in India (nothing against India, but a 5 minute phone call easily steals half an hour of your time if you talk to people and their supervisors who have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. The fact that they don't understand your English and you can hardly decipher theirs does not speed up things, either). If repair is impossible, Kodak will replace the camera with a REFURBISHED model.
  
  According to their policies, Kodak will NEVER give you a new camera to replace one of their defect products.
  
  You may want to read the fine print before you trust good old household names like Kodak....more info
• Great Compact Camera
  The M1033 is a compact camera that takes excellent photos.I especially like the 3" LCD screen and the layout of the controls.The included rechargable battery will save you money in the long run and can be charged with the included AC adapter or USB cable.I do have a few minor gripes though:the battery life is short,the buffer takes a long time on large MP shots and the joystick is touchy.The included Easyshare software is buggy so I use Google Picasa instead.When making DVD's I use DVDFlick(free) or Sonic MyDVD,either one will convert MPEG-4 as long as you have Quicktime installed.
  Having said that I have a few recommendations:turn off digital zoom,do not use an ISO setting higher than 800 in P mode,I recommend buying an extra battery(KLIC-7004),I also recommend using a high speed SD card because it takes faster shots and uploads to your PC faster.
  
  Pros:
  Ergonomic
  Compact
  High quality photos and video
  Smart Capture
  Large screen
  16:9 mode
  Supports SDHC cards up to 32GB
  
  Cons:
  Buttons can be touchy
  Doesn't remember mode when powered off
  Battery life
  Easyshare software...more info
