The Kodak EasyShare LS753 combines compact design, enhanced sharing features, superb image quality, and ease of use to help you capture and enjoy those moments that make life enjoyable. The sleek, slim aluminum LS753 is slim enough to easily fit in your pocket, and it weighs under 6 ounces. It features a 5-megapixel resolution, professional-quality Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon 2.8X compact optical zoom lens, Kodak's new Color Science image processor, movie mode with up to VGA resolution, 1.8-inch LCD, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, 16 MB internal memory, and compatibility with SD and MCC memory cards. The more affordable LS743 offers a 4-megapixel resolution and a 16 MB internal memory.

Optics and Resolution The LS753 has a 5-megapixel resolution for 2569 x 1929 images and photo enlargements up to 20 x 30 inches. Other resolution modes include 4.4 MP (optimized ratio for 4 x 6 inches; 3:2 aspect ratio), 3.1 MP, and 1.6 MP (good for email). The Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon 2.8x optical zoom lens is also supplemented by a 3.6x digital zoom. Working with renowned German professional optics designer Schneider-Kreuznach, Kodak equipped the camera with an f/3.0 - 4.9 aspheric lens with a 6-16mm focal range (36-100mm, 35mm equivalent).

Movie Mode
The LS753 can capture both full-motion video (24 frames per second at 320 x 240 pixels, or QVGA) and TV-resolution video (VGA; 640 x 480 pixels at 13 fps) with capacity dependent on available memory (32 MB internal memory included; additional memory may be added via the SD/MMC expansion slot). You can also limit the length of your clips to 5, 10, or 30 seconds. With the 32 MB memory, you can shoot a 4-minute QVGA video.

Sharing
With a touch of the red-jeweled Share button, you can store up to 200 pictures in an on-camera digital album. These pictures can then be shared anytime on the camera's large, 1.8-inch, high-resolution (134,000 pixels) indoor/outdoor LCD screen. The Share button also allows selection of photos for printing and even e-mailing, with up to 32 e-mail addresses stored in the camera's memory.

Kodak Color Science Image Processing Chip
Kodak's Color Science Image Processing Chip offers a new high-speed digital image processor, advanced algorithms, and hardware acceleration features that enable the LS753 make simultaneous, split-second decisions to produce rich, vibrant, true-to-life colors in almost any lighting situation. Each time you click the shutter, the Kodak Color Science Chip performs an instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and correct multiple factors that influence picture quality. Scene light source is detected and adjustments are made to capture bright whites and true, vivid colors under difficult lighting conditions--fluorescent, tungsten or daylight. Scene content is analyzed for luminance, focal distance, subject matter orientation and color to determine the correct exposure and capture the natural details, accurate flesh tones, and rich colors you see in your composition.

Power and Size
The LS753 is powered by a proprietary rechargeable lithium-ion battery (1050 mAh), which can be charged via the included battery charger or an optional EasyShare Camera Dock. The KLIC-5001 battery can shoot approximately 350 images on one charge. The camera measures 4.3 x 1.9 x 1.2 inches and weighs 5.8 ounces.

What's in the Box
This package contains the EasyShare LS753 digital camera, rechargeable lithium-ion battery (KLIC-5000), battery charger, neck strap, USB and A/V cables, and custom camera insert for optional EasyShare Camera and Printer Docks.

Like all EasyShare cameras, the LS753 includes Kodak EasyShare software for Windows and Macintosh systems, providing effortless digital picture transfer, organization, basic editing, sharing and printing. The software's exclusive One Touch to Better Pictures feature--which takes advantage of proprietary color technologies developed by Kodak--helps Windows OS users get vibrant, true-to-life prints from home inkjet printers, while significantly reducing the trial, error and waste usually associated with home photo printing.

To hell and back.......2007-01-26

First let me tell you that I am more than just a point and shoot kind of guy. (with cameras that is) This camera is one of the best I have ever owned. I brought 2 cameras with me to Iraq, the first was a Sony that took such garbage pictures that I threw it away in disgust. The second was the LS 753. 18 months in the Middle East with this camera in my ammo pouch and it still took the best pictures. It weatherd sandstorms, temps over 125 degrees, high humidity, and lots of bumpy and nasty terrain and it kept right on going. I have now been out of Iraq for over a year and the camera, although scratched up a bit still works. My only regret is that Koadk did not continue this line of cameras.

Customer service.......2006-11-17

The following message was sent to me from your customer service department. I am very disappointed at the responses I have received in trying to track my order and find out what went wrong with the delay. It is sad to find out that your people think that customer service and customer satisfaction is so hilarious. Your responses indicates that the customer service rep is still baffled by not knowing what went wrong with the order not being received on my end, and only is concerned about a negative comment received and his inability to gain a retraction. I set out at the start of my inquiries to simply find out where my order was, as I typed this question in to your company I could not send it without filling out your satisfaction survey. My mistake was shopping on line with a company that is of little help when it come to serving there customers. I will correct my mistake and I will be stepping back from any other purchasing from your company.

Sincerely Tom Scully

Tom--you are hilarious---you made a mistake--left us negative feedback and now send us email after email over issues that have nothing to do with your mistake---I will chalk this one up to a horrid experience with an difficult customer. I tried....have a super day!!!

I'm still a little baffled here----we did everything right --shipped your order, you mis-placed or something and then send us emails about arrogance---wow---I think you should take a step back.

GREAT camera.......2006-11-04

I love this camera. It takes great pictures. Bought a 1GB sd card to expand the memory and it is more than enough card for pics & short videos. I love the battery and its own charger. It fits in my camera case so I am never w/o it. Battery life is good. Had another Kodak camera for my first digital that was lost and said I wouldn't buy Kodak again but have been very happy with both cameras.

A Great Buy!.......2006-08-29

I was given this camera for christmas a few years back and I have to say I could not be happier! I love it's compact size that can fit in any pocket or tiny purse and it takes great photos. It's really easy to use, just this weekend I let my 4 year old cousin try it and even he could take great pictures. The only problem I see is that close-up pictures of people tend to sometimes get overexposed by the flash but other than that it's great!

Great Little Camera.......2006-05-20

I've used the LS753 for about two years, and have been very happy with its performance. The absolute best aspect of the camera is its size: it fits very well into a pocket, meaning you can have it immediately on hand whenever the situation is right for taking a photo. It also fits well into the hand. While there are a number of adjustments and mode settings, the average user will quickly realize that the default settings are best for the majority of your photos.

The camera has enough resolution that you can easily pull closeups out of your original photo, using PhotoShop or any of the photo editing packages. I tend to take a somewhat oversized image with the camera, and then use PhotoShop to edit out the extra material. The resulting image virtually always has enough resolution left to create a sharp print, even if I blow it up to 5x7. Without cropping, or with only minor cropping, the camera's image creates a pleasing 8x10 print, excellent for giving as a present.

The camera's base unit is another example of great product engineering. I have the standard base, without the printer (instead using an external Canon printer). The camera sits firmly on the base, on top of my computer table. The base is more or less permanently connected to my PC using a USB cable. Whenever I want to move photos from the camera to my PC, I just push a button on the base, and the images are quickly moved to my PC. I never lose track of where my camera is-when not in my pocket, it sits neat and ready (and automatically recharging its battery) on top of the base unit, next to my PC. I've never had the camera run out of power, by the way, even when on vacation for more than a week. No need to change batteries and such.

About the only weakness I've noticed is that the flash isn't powerful enough to create a good photo when you're more than a few yards away from the subject. For those photos, I tell the camera to shut off the flash, and holding the camera as steady as I can, take a flashless photo. Usually works out to be an acceptable image.

The camera has also survived without damage any number of falls, and uses in light rain conditions. In short, it's quite sturdy.

Perhaps someday I'll replace the camera as the technology continues to evolve, but that day isn't anywhere in the near future. It does what I want, and does it well.
