Review
The camera uses the same low-quality 3X zoom lens as the EasyShare C533, but combined with the different sensor size, the focal length range translates to 36mm to 108mm in 35mm-equivalent terms on the Kodak EasyShare C643. The lens produces serious purple fringing along the edges of high-contrast objects, and colored auras appear along almost every dark object with a light background. The higher-resolution sensor produces more noise; we noticed splotches and grain at ISO 80, and our ISO 400 test shot looked like a watercolor painting. As a result, the camera actually produces worse photos in this respect than its lower-resolution brother. On the other hand, its color reproduction and exposure look far better.
