I initially reported in another thread that I like the Easyshare 753. Then, my opinion started going downhill. Without knowing what the differences are between the 753 and the 853, I'll just add that the more I use this M753, the more I realize how poor a camera it really is! I attempted to take some close-up pictures. Absolutely horrible. My old Fuji 4600 (or was it a 5600?) greatly outperformed this pos.
