Kodak EasyShare C813

Budget digital compact from 2007 with that classic early-digital CCD look. Key specs: 8.2MP CCD sensor 3x optical zoom (36-108mm equivalent) 2.4-inch LCD screen SD/SDHC card storage Runs on 2x AA batteries Includes: 2GB SD card. The C813 is a simple, easy-to-use point-and-shoot from Kodak's popular EasyShare line. That 8MP CCD sensor delivers the warm, soft rendering that's become sought after for the authentic late-2000s digicam aesthetic - low-fuss shooting with genuine period character. Battery note: This one really is designed with lithium AA batteries in mind - standard alkalines drain fast and can cause the camera to shut down or misbehave. Fit quality lithium AAs (or good rechargeables) and it runs happily; it's the main thing to get right with this model.
