Macworld - 7/7/2007 - has reviewed Kodak EasyShare C875 and they write, “In testing, the exposure and contrast of both a still-life shot and a flash photo of a mannequin looked well balanced, with bright and accurate colors. There was little distortion, although several test shots could have been sharper. Overall, the C875 earned average scores for image quality from a jury.”

PCWorld - 3/19/2007 - reviews the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and writes, “The Kodak EasyShare C875 is a good, inexpensive camera. First-time digital photographers will find it easy to learn on, and its more advanced features will give them room to grow over time.”

TechTree - 3/7/2007 - reviews the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and writes, “The Kodak C875 is available for a street price of around Rs. 13,500 with a one year warranty. Overall, the C875 (slated as an entry level camera) comes as a decent performer with easy-to-use controls and options. I’m sure it will be a hit with first timers at least.”

DPReview - 2/28/2007 - reviews the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and writes, “If you can live with the slightly sluggish focus, that awful over-the-top noise reduction at higher ISO settings, and the rather lame screen - and don’t intend to produce huge prints - the C875 offers an awful lot of bang for your buck, and for this reason it just manages to sneak into our ‘Recommended’ category.”

Steve’s Digicams - 2/19/2007 - has reviewed the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and they write, “The Kodak EasyShare C875 offers good high-end features for a reasonably low price of $199 or less, yet remains easy to use and handle. While bypassing a lot a gimmick features, and still providing solid exposure and lens controls. I found this model to be an easy fit for my hand while offering good overall shooting performance, great image quality, and loads of user-friendly exposure modes. The C875 is a great choice for anyone seeking a balance between features, image quality, and a fair price.”

Cameras.co.uk - 2/6/2007 - has produced a video guide for the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and writes, “I like the menu system the Easyshare C875 has. I found it easy to use and there is also some help text available to explain the options. All of the menu items are available in one place and it is a case of scrolling through until you find what you are looking for. The menu is also easy to read. The text looks larger than I am used to seeing with other digital camera brands.”

TrustedReviews - 2/5/2007 - has reviewed the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and here is the verdict. “Although the EasyShare C875 is a bit slow and clunky at times, and rather large and heavy for a pocket compact, you’d have a hard job finding a more versatile camera for the same price. Poor low light focusing and flash performance limit its usefulness in social situations, but overall image quality and especially high-ISO performance are very good.”

DCRP - 12/20/2006 - has reviewed the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and here is the verdict - “I was pretty happy with the C875’s photo quality in most respects. It took well exposed photos (except once) with the almost over-the-top color saturation that Kodak cameras tend to have. Sharpness was nice, noise levels were low through ISO 400, and purple fringing levels were minimal. Despite having a fancy redeye reduction system, I still got noticeable redeye in my flash photo test. The night test scene didn’t turn out terribly well, with gradients in the sky, probably due to too much JPEG compression.”

ConsumersElectronicNet - 12/11/2006 - has tested and reviewed the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and rate it 77 out of 100 - “It is a good buy given that Kodak EasyShare cameras are among the easiest to use digital cameras on the market. there are no convoluted menus to wade through as changes that can be made in camera are built in to the specific features of the camera. For example, if you are in PASM mode and want to make a change to the shutter speed, you accomplish this via the joystick using a side to side or up and down motion of the stick. Fairly intuitive stuff. The video lags a bit when first pressing the button to start the video, but the camera’s main feature is to capture still images, and not necessarily video.”

PCMag - 12/11/2006 - has tested and reviewed the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and rate it 77 out of 100 - “In my experience, Kodak has consistently offered well-performing point-and-shoot devices, and I was happy to see very little noticeable shutter lag in the C875. Resolution averaged 1,850 lines, which is excellent for an 8MP camera. The bootup time was a respectable 3 seconds, and the 1.7-second recycle time was excellent. There was no pincushion distortion in my test shot, but there was a little more barrel distortion than I’d like to see, especially with just a 37mm wide-angle end of the zoom.”

Cameras.co.uk - 10/24/2006 - has tested and reviewed the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and rate it 77 out of 100 - “The Kodak Easyshare C875 offers a very good set of features for a compact digital camera. This includes fully manual exposure modes. Picture quality is good and one outstanding feature is the very fast shutter response times it is capable of.”

CNET - 9/29/2006 - has tested and reviewed the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and rate it 7.4 out of 10 - “The Kodak EasyShare C875 offers high-end features for a comparably low price. It doesn’t have any extreme gimmicks besides its 5X zoom lens and manual exposure controls, but it produces very good photos and shows good performance. The C875 is a solid choice for any user seeking a balance between features, image quality, and price.”

DigitalCameraReview - 9/16/2006 - has tested and reviewed the 8 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C875 and they write - “When it comes down to it, the Kodak Easyshare C875 is a good camera, but facing some stiff competition. Image quality was very good, ease of use was good and it has a good feature set. Where it falters is battery life and speed of operation. Its operation speed is by no means slow, but it’s just not as fast as similarly priced competitors like the Canon A540 or A700. However, if you’re looked for an entire digital imaging package, with camera and printer, the Kodak is a good option. Being able to dock the camera into an Easyshare Printer and print with a touch of a button is a very attractive proposition.”
