 A Surprizing Find July 30, 2008
Bernie J. Lofaso (Austin, TX USA)

Having owned digital cameras for nearly 10 years now, I'm no stranger to them. I currently own a somewhat old Sony 5mp "prosumer" camera (which still takes very nice photos) and an 8mp Canon DSLR. Since the latter weighs nearly 4 lb. with my favorite lens on it and the former is not exactly compact either, I went shopping for a reasonably good quality and not too expensive pocket camera. After reading some reviews I was interested in a Fujifilm J10, which while inexpensive seemed pretty decent and got good marks for image quality. I treked down to a local Best Buy to check it out. While the J10 does look like a very nice camera for the money, I was not quite enthused about what I perceived as a sluggish response, and the camera buttons seemed a bit clunky. I decided while I was there to look around at other brands and models while I was there. That was when the Kodak M1033 caught my eye. I thought it was a very attractive looking camera. Part of this was due to the fact that it had little in it's finish that would attract finger prints ... something that drives me crazy. Upon picking up the camera I then noticed it was a Kodak and was a little surprized. To be honest, I've not perceived Kodak cameras as being of particular quality or performance. Upon playing with the controls I was immediately impressed with the build quality and the feel of the buttons. Discovering the joystick control ... I was off to the races. Most of the camera operation was fairly intuitive and I found the joystick a much more convinient selection method than the multi-way controls used in most pocket cameras. I was also impressed by the quick responses of the camera ... start-up time, shutter lag, magnification and image scrolling on playback were all quite good, particularly by pocket camera standards. I decided to wait and research the camera some more and then once I found out about the HD video modes with MPEG-4 compression, I decided to give it a try. After several days of using the camera, I'll say that overall I'm fairly impressed with it. The image quality doesn't compare with my DSLR but even though shots in low light are frequently a bit noisy and blurred (again, by DSLR standards), they look pretty good compared to other pocket cameras I've seen reviewed. With 10mp you can afford some blurriness which you'll never see unless you enlarge quite a bit. While full manual modes are not present on this camera, it does give some manual control and has several features that surprized me on this type of camera (spot metering and histogram to name two). On one hand the high ISO settings can make for pretty blotchy and/or noisy images, but again, I've seen far worse in camera reviews of shirt pocket cameras and I must say I'm surprized that these images seem usable even at such high settings. I'm just a bit embarrassed to admit that I've grown accustomed to shooting most of my shots in fully-automatic "dummy" mode. I can't complain about the results and should I need a little more control, to some extent I have it. All in all I'd have to give this little bugger a big thumbs up.
First small camera June 13, 2008

Small camera I bought and took on a vacation to Las Vegas and Route 66 in Arizona. I carried it in a carrier hooked to my belt. I took over 400 pictures and only 2 were discarded. (I didn't wait for the camera to focus) Very quick to turn on, and at 10 mp and a 2 gig card I had plenty of room on the card. Very sharp pictures. Very good pic under low light, like in casino shopping malls and at dusk. Didn't try the video part.
Charged the camera at night, no problem with battery when using the camera all day.
Great Pictures & Quality July 13, 2008

In fact, I have a small story to tell before I review this camera (Kodak M1033).
I used to have Kodak EasyShare DX7590. That camera was producing beautiful and great quality pictures. I still have this camera but I wanted to buy a small camera that will fit my pocket. So I bought Sony W-170 CyberShot, but I sold it after one week because I didn't like the pictures at all. The pictures were not clear and the general quality is too low.
In that moment, I returned to the shopping mall and reviewed all the small cameras they have and after a careful consideration, I decided to buy Kodak EasyShare M1033.
Kodak EasyShare M1033 gave me the quality I want with reasonable price. I noticed that all Kodak products are delivering the same great quality and sharp pictures.
Kodak M1033 has different modes that you can select depending on the situation. I used the beach mode when I went with my family and the pictures were so great and the color the blue water was so nice in the pictures. Even my family couldn't believe that this camera was able to capture such pictures with that great quality.
The overall experience with this camera is GREAT and I strongly recommend it for anyone wants a small camera with high quality and resolution pictures. This camera is easy to use with its programmed modes that provide various types of pictures in different situations.
Regards,
Yousef
 A so-so camera with SERIOUS WEAKNESSES October 7, 2008

I picked the M1033 up at a local Best Buy, intending to replace my decrepit 3.3Megapixel Olympus. I wanted a small form-factor camera with high resolution, and passable video I could use so my wife wouldn't have to lug around our video camera for occasional use.
At first, I was excited, but the glamor wore off quickly. I would not recommend the device without SIGNIFICANT CAVEATS. Read on...
* Form factor: the camera is friggin tiny. That's excellent -- what I was looking for.
* Still image quality: once you turn OFF the digital zoom, the image quality is as good as one would expect from a ten megapixel camera. However, if you zoom all the way in on the image (on your computer), you'll see compression artifacts because it exports JPEG files, rather than PNG or TIFF. This dims my otherwise stellar recommendation.
* Video quality is HORRIBLE, especially in low light. I was SHOCKED at how awful the video is. Why would I take 720p high-definition video if the image quality is noisy and grainy? IF VIDEO IS EVEN REMOTELY A PURCHASING CONCERN FOR YOU, YOU WILL NOT BE SATISFIED WITH THIS PRODUCT.
* Video format is Quicktime MOV. If you have a Mac, this is no big deal. For the rest of us, this is a pain. EDITING QUICKTIME MOVIES REQUIRES PURCHASING ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE.
* The unit's basic layout could stand significant improvement. For example, the position of the lens makes it a natural place to hold the camera, which is okay when it's turned off. However, once you hit the power button, it's very easy to brush the lens with your fingertips.
Further, the EasyShare connector (NOTE: proprietary USB plug) is located very close to the tripod shoe connector. This means that you have to choose between installing a quick-release shoe for your tripod and plugging it into USB. I can understand this (somewhat), as the camera just isn't very big and you have to put these things somewhere.
Still, together, this is very disappointing. I'm imagining that I'd have to clean the lens A LOT due to fingerprints.
* the buttons on the top row are easy to hit at the same time. This resets the camera to factory configuration. I discovered this six seconds after handing it to my wife. Fortunately, it's easy to reconfigure, but I don't intend to reset the clock on the thing every few weeks.
* volume control for the unit appears to be universal -- the sounds the camera makes are controlled by the same logic that limits sound of video playback. This control is buried in the setup system. So, when I turn the camera's insipid sound effects down to the minimum, I can't easily hear the video soundtrack even on maximum playback volume. Poor design choice.
* joystick-stud is difficult to use for some people. Like my wife, or me when I get excited. Pushing the button in (ENTER) often causes the stick to go in one direction or another. Imagine doing this on a very cold day.
* Digital zoom RUINS the image quality. Make SURE to turn it off or you'll be wondering why you bought a 10MP camera.
SUMMARY: This camera is for you if you can meet ALL of the following criteria:
1. you want very high-resolution images and small form-factor
2. you can tolerate extremely poor quality video (or don't need video at all)
3. you have a way to edit (or don't need to edit) the quicktime movies the camera produces in such low quality.
4. you seldom or never use a tripod
5. you have tiny, agile fingers and never take pictures in cold weather
6. you can remember to immediately turn off the digital zoom
...otherwise, seek a different product.
Great Little Camera July 2, 2008

I bought this camera to replace my Kodak EasyShare C530 5mp. I have been very impressed. It has met and exceeded my expectations. I brought it with me to a friends house to take pics of her 6, 5 and 3 yr old. The pictures turned out great! I did not like that the camera took a second to focus, but when it did the pictures were amazing.
The size intimidated me (it is very thin) but once I took a few pictures I became very comfortable. The settings are a wee bit confusing but very easily learned.
I have now bought another one for a friend in the military who is in need of a new camera. For the price you can not ask for a better camera.
