Kodak EasyShare C875 is a 8 megapixel, compact camera with 5x optical zoom, and a 2.6 inch LCD screen.

PC Mag states that, “In my experience, Kodak has consistently offered well-performing point-and-shoot devices, and I was happy to see very little noticeable shutter lag in the C875. Resolution averaged 1,850 lines, which is excellent for an 8MP camera. The bootup time was a respectable 3 seconds, and the 1.7-second recycle time was excellent. There was no pincushion distortion in my test shot, but there was a little more barrel distortion than I’d like to see, especially with just a 37mm wide-angle end of the zoom. All in all, the Kodak EasyShare C875 is quite a good camera, but at $299.95 (direct), it’s a bit pricey for a point-and-shoot.”

DCRP reports that, “The EasyShare C875 is a compact (but not tiny) camera made of a mix of plastic and metal. It feels quite solid, though I must always complain about plastic tripod mounts, so there you go. The camera fits well in your hand, with the important controls in the right places. I do wish that the zoom controller was a bit larger, and that the on/off switch wasn’t right in the middle of the mode dial, though… The screen resolution isn’t great, but again, this is a budget cam. It was reasonably easy to see outdoors, and nice and bright in low light situations.

Camera performance was about average. It takes 2.7 seconds after you turn the camera on before you can start taking pictures, which is on the slow side. The camera focuses fairly quickly at the wide end of the lens, but telephoto delays can exceed a second. Low light focusing was just so-so for a camera with an AF-assist lamp. Thankfully, shutter lag was not a problem, and shot-to-shot delays were minimal. The C875’s continuous shooting mode was just okay — nothing to write home about. Battery life was about average.”
