InfoSync has reviewed the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare V803 digital camera writes, “If you are going to take pictures of outdoor fruit stands on bright sunny days, the EasyShare V803 does a nice job with exactly this type of shot. Panorama shots, too, came out looking great, once we got the hang of lining up our shots. Otherwise, the V803 had some serious problems with image quality. Indoor shots were rarely usable, even with the middling flash, and low-light or high-speed shots suffered from serious noise issues. The camera was also very slow to startup, and slow to focus, defeating some of the spontaneity of a point-and-shoot camera. Though fashionistas may be enticed by the delightful colors available for the camera’s shell, even casual shooters will be disappointed by the images this camera produces, especially if you’re going to be taking most of your pictures indoors.”

Kodak EasyShare V803 Features Include:

• 2.5-inch (6.4 cm) color LCD
• 3x Optical Zoom
• ISO 800
• 22 scene modes

TrustedReviews reviews the 7 megapixel Samsung L700 and thinks the camera’s performance is adequate, but that’s about it. They continue to write, “With the L700 Samsung has produced the very definition of an average 3x zoom digital compact camera. It has no real weak points apart from its poor low-light focusing and over-exposure in bright light, but little about it stands out either. It is well made, performs adequately, has all the features and options you really need and takes reasonably good pictures. It is also reasonably good value for money, but it lacks the style or innovation of some other recent Samsung models.”

Samsung L700 Features Include:

• 3x zoom
• 2.3 inch LCD
• MPEG-4 movies
• ISO 1600
• ASR stabilization
