Moms, our children grow up fast!!!! Our photos and videos will be the memories we have of our children at every stage of their lives, from their first steps, to their first day of high school.

Why not capture those moments with a Kodak EASYSHARE M380 Digital Camera?

I must tell you, that I am IN LOVE with this camera. It is small, lightweight and VERY user friendly. Its smart capture feature automatically senses the surroundings and selects the best setting for my photo.

I am also able to select various options for my photos, from candle light to a bright beach scene. There is even a Manner/Museum option for times when sound and flash are not appropriate.

I have been genuinely pleased with the quality of the photos and videos that I have captured with my Kodak EASYSHARE M380 Digital Camera.

Here is a look at some of the camera’s wonderful features:

• Amazing quality prints with 10.2 MP
  - 10.2 MP means you can make stunning prints up to 30 × 40 in. (76 × 102 cm)
  - More megapixels means you can crop and still get a great picture.
• 5X optical zoom lens
  - 5X optical zoom (35 mm equivalent: 38–190 mm) gets you closer to your subjects without reducing image quality.
• Blur reduction
  - The camera automatically minimizes the effects of camera shake to deliver a clearer picture
• Beautiful pictures, more often—automatically
  - Kodak’s innovative Smart Capture feature adjusts camera settings for great pictures in just about any environment—automatically.
• Face detection
  - For great shots of friends and family, face detection locates faces and automatically adjusts camera settings.
• High ISO
  - Capture the details in low light conditions and fast action situations with high ISO (up to 1600)

This Mother’s Day, why not treat yourself to a camera that will help to create lasting memories. It retails at $179.95, a great price for a great gift that keeps on giving.
