Reviews of the Kodak EasyShare C653

CNET Review
The Good: Optical viewfinder; relatively quick performance.
The Bad: Thick and ugly design; poor image quality; must half-press shutter before shooting to ensure focus.
The Bottom Line: Despite its low price, give this clunky, uncomfortable camera a pass.
Manufacturer: Eastman Kodak Co.
Part number: 8912057
