Kodak EasyShare M863

The Kodak EasyShare M863 combines an eight megapixel CCD imager and a Kodak-branded 3x optical zoom lens with a 34 - 102mm equivalent focal range, but at $30 less it doesn't include the optical image stabilization of its more expensive sibling, the M893 IS. For framing images, there's a 2.7-inch 230K pixel LCD display, but no optical viewfinder - an increasingly rare option these days and one that would add a good degree of versatility, letting you get the shot when you can't make out the LCD in bright sunlight, or save battery life by disabling the LCD when accurate framing isn't vital. Images are stored on Secure Digital / MultiMediaCards including SDHC types, or in 10MB of available internal memory.
