The EasyShare C763 and C613 share many of the same features, but as with most series cameras, sensor and LCD specs differ. The 7.1MP C763 has a higher megapixel count over its sister camera, the 6.2MP C613. Both point-and-shoots are fitted with a Kodak AF 3x optical zoom lenses with digital image stabilization. The C763 comes equipped with a 2.5-inch LCD display for indoor and outdoor use, according to the manufacturer website. The C613 comes with a slightly smaller 2.4-inch LCD monitor with the same indoor/outdoor viewing capabilities.

With the C763 and C613, users can capture MPEG-4 video at 640 x 480 resolution at 30fps. The C763 has 10 scene modes, while the less expensive C613 carries 17 scene modes. Both EasyShare cameras have built-in color modes for black-and-white, sepia, and natural color. The C763 camera has a sensitivity range of 80-800 ISO, while the C613 has a higher sensitivity range of 80-1250 ISO. Both new C-series cameras are compatible with SD and MMC media and accept AA batteries. The 7.1-megapixel C763 will retail for $179, and the 6.2-megapixel C613 will be priced at $119 when the cameras become available next month.
