Kodak Easy Share C643
The Kodak EasyShare C643 has
many attributes that make this camera a good piece of
equipment to include in the paranormal investigator's
kit. The buttons are easily accessed in dark
environments. The functions are not complicated and are
user friendly right out of the box. The camera seems to
be relativly energy efficient which saves on battery
usage. The LCD is not so bright that it interferes with
the investigator's night vision too much. It also has
proved to be very durable after a couple of accidental
drops. The photos can be viewed instantly for review on
the LCD or easily transfered to a computer via the
convenient USB cable for review at higher resolution in
most any image editing software program. The memory can
be upgraded by simply slipping in a SD card, which means
that a 2 gig card will give you 1,784 high resolution
photos.
