Trusted Reviews
“This camera stands out among other very cheap digital cameras because of its mechanical image stabilisation, but in most other respects you get what you pay for. Overall build quality and design are of a rather low standard, and while start-up and single-shot speeds are adequate, other aspects of the performance are quite poor, especially autofocus and low light capability.”

ePhotozine reviews the Kodak EasyShare M893 IS and they write -
“The EasyShare M893 IS is by no means a cutting edge camera. There are few features that you won’t have seen on all other cameras out there. The price, size and overall color rendition makes it a decent camera to go for. Just don’t rely on the camera to give a decent picture without flash in the dark because you’ll be sorely disappointed.”
RegHardware reviews the Kodak EasyShare M893 IS and they write -
“The M893 isn’t a bad value for money. You get a highly portable camera with a fair sprinkling of features – although not too much on the manual side – and a reasonable performance, with a few caveats. The M893 is not bad, but it will hardly get your pulse racing when you use it.”
GoodGearGuide reviews the Kodak EasyShare M893 IS and they write -
“The feature set is relatively robust but fairly standard for a compact camera at this price point these days. Face detect is included for all your portrait taking needs and there is also optical image stabilization which works quite well. On the calibration front you can adjust image sharpness and color mode (although none of these really help fix the aforementioned issues) as well as picking metering and autofocus modes.”
Pocket-lint reviews the Kodak EasyShare M893 IS and they write -
“The Kodak EasyShare M893 IS provides nice features within a tidy, pocketable design but image noise and sluggish performance don’t do it any favours.
If you are after a reasonable snapper and you’ll print images at modest sizes you’ll be happy, but don’t buy this camera if it is 30 x 40-inch prints you’ll be wanting on a regular basis, as it might just leaving feeling disappointed. “
Actual Owner Feedback
“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.”
