 por el precio y lo que hace vale la pena May 05, 2010
EXCELENTE CAMARA PRACTICA PARA SALIR DEL PASO CON UNA REUNION NO ES PARA NADA PROFESIONAL PERO TIENE MUY BUEN PRECIO Y RESULTADO
 Very good 10% of the time, very bad 90% of the time Mar 07, 2010
I love this camera. It has given me many great treasures of beautiful photography.
The M753 is meant for sunny days. I love how clear and colorful my ISO 80 photos turn out. I use EV -0.3 and low color, then make minor adjustments later to saturate, reduce noise, and correct levels. It's a wonderful camera when you know its strengths.
Thanks to another reviewer, I tried Fireworks scene mode for night photography. My photos were clear, colorful, and pleasing. The camera focused on street light lens flare in night landscape mode, so more than half my shots were badly out of focus. Fireworks mode (with a tripod and the 2 second delay) was the answer.
Panoramas require a tripod and careful alignment. When you do them handheld, the 10 second delay between shots and the long delay after pressing the shutter button lead to obvious seams and totally unaligned photos. I like how the tripod mount is directly below the lens so I can rotate the camera on the screw for the best alignment.
Black and whites in overcast daylight are lovely. The silvery world of soft shadows and reflecting puddles is very beautiful. It helps to let more light in in overcast conditions. EV +0.3 does the trick. EV +0.7 is wonderful for objects silhouetted against white skies. Black and white does not work well in sunlight, so I just shoot in low color at EV -0.3 and convert later.
I use 3 megapixel mode to reduce noise. I've used an M753 for 2 years and am delighted with how well it performs. My affection for the camera has steadily grown over time. Never had a problem with purple fringing.
Once or twice a month the lens fails to retract when powered down. I just cycle power and it corrects itself. I'm pleased with lens reliability. The recessed power switch button is thoughtfully designed and very reliable.
I don't like the self timer feature. It has to be selected every time, so I have to bring up the menu and deal with the interface dozens of times when I just want to make a series of clear macros with the tripod. Kodak should just leave the self timer on like Canon and go back to normal shooting mode when the camera is turned off and on again.
Picture quality is compromised and generally unspectacular, but the small size and light weight more than make up for it. I think photography is more rewarding when you learn equipment weaknesses and overcome them. I think of the M753 as a very, very good toy camera. It's capable of dazzling photographic brilliance in the right light. I learned a lot about photography by seeing good and bad M753 results and understanding how I could improve my success rate. It's fun to playfully experiment with extreme settings and intentionally get wrong looking photos. Doing it wrong helps you learn how to get it right when it counts.
I can't recommend this model for everyone. It won't appeal to perfectionists. It's really noisy in low light and high ISOs, but the answer to those problems is using a tripod, adding light, and using black and white to at least eliminate chroma noise.
The video mode is terrible. Blocky and unpleasant. Harsh light cannot be exposed properly. Audio has a constant high pitched whine that's impossible to digitally filter out later. Pathetic!
But if you like walking around, taking clear still pictures of colorful things in sunshine, and know about basic camera adjustments (white balance, ISO, saturation, and exposure compensation), the M753 is a fun camera for casual use. It's pretty amazing to draw out full, vibrant color from my low color photos. Its pictures are very lovely on the web.
Try using the lens at midrange. 64mm is very clear and impressive, with lovely foreground clarity and smooth bokeh of distant scenery. Full wide angle and full telephoto are good, but the middle focal lengths are very good.
I feel no regrets about choosing this camera. The only things I'd change would be a Canon style self timer interface and less pixel density. 3 or 4 megapixels would be ideal. With 7, you're just recording random noise and superfluous detail.
So, a mixed review, but those 3 stars are respectfully given. I really got more than my money's worth out of this handy camera. It enhanced my life and offered many wonderful experiences of enjoyment and creativity.

 Not what I expected Jan 17, 2009
This was used (which I knew), and it's in great condition. However, the person/place selling it never stated whether it did or didn't come with a battery, charger or charger cord and a memory card. It was used not brand new, wouldn't you expect it to come with everything. I did and was disappointed. It was still less than purchasing a brand new one, that was my goal.
 Kodak EasyShare m753 Jan 01, 2009
I am very unhappy with this camera. For the first few weeks/months, it took pretty good pictures and acted like the easy and cheap point and shoot we needed. After less than 6 months of use though, about 80% of the pictures turn out to be terrible. It acts like it forgot how to focus.
The one saving grace for me on this one is that it takes really good video for a camera this size/price. I think it's listed as 12 or 15 fps but it really impressed me with it's quality and ability to pick up sound. Not enough to give it another star though. For most practical intents and purposes, this camera is a piece of junk.
