Much Improved over the 753/853's.

I previously had a M753 which I ruined by submerging in a lake. Replaced it with the M863 and it is much better with low light pix. This camera has a 2.7" lcd screen vs 2.5" on the M853's. I have actually recorded and converted video over to DVD and the quality is pretty good for it being a camera. (640x480 @ 15fps). If you read the reviews on various sites the M853 was rated pretty bad... the M863 is much improved. Everybody who has seen the pix are impressed. This camera does have face detection and does fairly well with auto-focus. Battery life is rated in the 300 pic range, I have never had it die, even after 30 minutes of recording video. The other improvement is that they now inlude a USB AC adapter, you can charge from a USB port or plug it direct into power, older models only could be charged via the USB connection without buying the adapter. The Kodak software is demanding (slow to load) on a slower computer but is fine with newer models.
