Features

The Easyshare 813 won’t grab your attention with any groundbreaking advancement in digital photography. It matches or slightly exceeds the competition in most of the important categories. What will stand out is the significantly lower price tag: $190. So let’s take a look at what the camera does have to offer. When it comes to optics, the Easyshare 813 has a modest 3x optical zoom with a minimum aperture range of 2.7-4.8. It can record video in standard definition (640x480) which is comparable to the rest of the class.

The controls and functions are also similar to its competitors. Exposure control is only available in automatic and program mode with shutter speeds ranging from ½ second to 1/1400 of a second. It comes with a built in flash and a self-timer delay to make those group photos possible even in dim light. The Easyshare C813 does lag its competition by a hair with a maximum ISO of 1250. Most other cameras in this class will offer ISO 1600.

The one standout feature of this camera isn’t actually part of the camera itself. As part of a bundle package, Kodak has produced the G610 Printer Dock that has a port for the camera built into the top to make printing a breeze.
