New Cam

After the absence of a digi cam for a whole of 6 months(the last one spoiled due to dislocated lens), finally I am back with a digi cam. So, lets hope if I am enthusiastic enough, my blog will be, once again, flourished with lots of pictures.

And, erhem, introducing Kodak EasyShare C643.















Sleek, ain't it?

Bought it with a bargain price of RM699, which due to promotion period in that particular shop, came with a free 512mb memory card, a free dull blue cover and 2 regular alkaline battery that only last for 2 days. But really, the bargain part is of course the memory card, which cost around RM180.

It comes with these features:
• 6.1 MP for prints up to 20 × 30 in. (50 × 75 cm)
• 3X optical zoom lens, 5X digital zoom
• 2.4 in. (6.1 cm) indoor/outdoor color display
• VGA video (640 × 480 at 30 fps) with sound
• Picture enhancing features
• On-camera Share button
• Internal memory plus
• SD/MMC card storage (32MB internal)
• ISO 80-400

Kinda cool.

It is a point-and-shoot cam with quite a traditional camera look. Light, sleek and compact. The buttons are easy to use and not confusing. You don't really need a guidebook to understand how to use it.

The pics it took were quite awesome. It comes with a blur warning function, which is not really useful, coz its judgement of so-called clear pictures is poor. Nonetheless, a guide. It also has scene mode , self timer, burst, exposure compensation(which I don't quite really understand) functions.















The cam also come with a movie mode function which can last for 20 minutes with a 512mb memory card. With sound. Something the precious cam do not have. Thrilled me of course.

The 6.1 mp feature is an obvious feature that excites me esp when it came with a bargain price. Plus, it also gives the option of adjusting its picture size, meaning I can reduce it to smaller mps to take more pictures.

This is one of the pics that is taken by the cam.










Some freaky plant in the porch


As for the EasyShare feature, it is quite useless to me, as i don't acquire the pinter and docks. So the cam name doesn't really applies in my case.
















Out of curiosity, I checked the reviews for the cam. The result is mixed. Some say it was incredibly awesome while others lamented its quality. The most common complain is its inability to switch on properly and the blur pic function.

Well, lets just hope THOSE problems doesn't apply in mine. My preciousss.
