Summary: I'm being generous with 1 star
Comment: Kodak EasyShare M893IS 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) Worst camera I've ever owned. I have had 3 Kodak EasyShare cameras before and loved every one of them. I bought this because of that but have regretted that decision ever since. First the lens kept getting stuck either in or out and the camera wouldn't take any photos. I sent it back for service. Got it back with a note that said nothing was wrong with it. Same thing happened when we were on vacation, I got stuck using the throw away cameras. Sent it back again, they said they fixed it but it happened again. The third time they did replace the camera with a "reconditioned" one. It has worked for 3 months but now the lens is starting to stick again.

Along with it not working properly the pictures are just horrible. The action pictures are to dark if you are inside. IF you use the inside setting there is no action setting. Everything is blurry, low light and just plan bad quality.

Don't buy this camera if you have children and want to take quick and fast photos. Focus is extremely bad and very very slow. Image Stablization is a joke.

I think I'm giving up on kodak and going with a Nikon or Canon.

Summary: I must have bad luck!
Comment: I did my research prior to purchasing this item. I read the customer reveiws and even got feed back from a coworker who purchased the same item. First after only 6 photos in the camera it was stating memory full so purchased a memory card and all was good. Owned the camera another 2 weeks and the camera would not hold a charge. Charged the camera for a total of 8 hours and would not charge. Then camera just wouldn't turn on at all. I was leaving for my cruse on Monday and decided to try another charge for 12 hours and still wouldn't even turn on. Had to go out and purchase a $7.99 Kodak instant camera for the cruise.
