Kodak
I agonized over which camera to buy, but finally was forced to purchase the Kodak EasyShare C813 due to its low price. When I received it in the mail, there was a significant lack of excitement as it was not my first choice.
After using it to take well over 300 pictures so far, I am actually very happy I purchased this camera. The time between the button press and the actual picture being taken is almost nonexistent. The camera uses AA batters, however after all the pictures I have taken, I still have not had to recharge my 2500 mAh Ni-MH rechargable batteries. Not to mention the picture quality being much better than I had anticipated.
When I installed the Kodak Easyshare software that came with the camera, my computer froze several times over the first three or four days I had it, forcing me to restart it several times. After those trying few days, however, I have not had any problems with it.
I am very happy with my camera purchase, despite the software problems, and would definitely recommend this camera to other cost-minded individuals looking to purchase a decent digital camera.

The D90 isn’t just another DSLR joining Nikon’s Editors’ Choice–acquiring lineup (although it certainly delivers the same superb image quality); it’s also the first DSLR in the world to record video. Although the recording itself is clumsy, the 720p video appears aesthetical, and the 12.3-megapixel photos are even more in order. And with fast all-around accelerates, this mid-range DSLR is a winner.
Design and Interface
In an attempt to make DSLRs less intimidating, a few companies have loosed a few seriously lightweight models freshly. Suffice it to say, in sizing, weight, cost, and target user, the D90 isn’t among those cameras: At 2.4 pounds with the battery, 18-105mm lens, and SD Card, you’ll definitely prefer to apply the strap.
The good intelligence is that the D90 experiences hardy in the hands. As always, Nikon’s rubbery ergonomic grip and thumb indentation make it easy to hold. And for a camera so advanced, you learn your way around pretty quickly. The mode dial and dedicated exposure, autofocus, and continuous shooting options are self-explanatory, thanks to their accompanying icons.
On the back up, flanking the brightly 3-inch LCD, which was brought across from the higher-end D300, are buttons for playback, menu alternatives, white balance, and ISO, besides as a five-way navigational pad and button for switching between Live View and the optical viewfinder. We love the D90’s viewfinder, not just because it’s sharp, but because the rubbery lining arrives comfortable to press against our eye.
On the opposite side of the camera from the battery compartment and SD Card slot are power, A/V out, USB, and HDMI ports, the latter of which you can use to connect your camera to your HDTV and immediately watch clips. There’s also a port for the GP-1 GPS unit (price TBA), which allows users to geotag photos. Inside the camera, Nikon’s built-in sensor-cleaning system keeps dust off (this feature, also, trickled down from the D300).
Live View
The D90 has Live View, a standard feature in point-and-shoot cameras but, ironically, a premium one in DSLRs. This feature allows you to see the action in the LCD as you frame it and adjust settings. Unlike earlier DSLRs, we were able to focus just as easily with Live View as with the optical viewfinder. Taking pictures in Live View did cause shutter lag, all the same. Whereas the D90 snapped photos almost instantaneously when applying the view finder, about 5 seconds elapsed between pressing the shutter and being able to take another picture. It snapped the picture in time; then again the picture lingers on the screen for a few seconds before the D90 readies itself for another shot.
