Artistic little camera~I bought this camera for my dad who is electronically untaught =P He uses it for work, and it takes nice pictures for a point and zap.
Before Time I've Been Disappointed With a Kodak
Notwithstanding that Kodaks aren't known as a top quality photgraphic tool, this is the triumph time I've ever been disappointed in one. I've owned other Kodaks, but this one didn't expose the picture quality I expected. It hasn't been used since the from the word go time for this reason. The higher end Kodak Easyshares, such as the 700 series and up are grievous and are incredible values, but this one I cannot recommend.
Lacks resoluteness
I bought this camera for my partner 2 years ago (i.e.,Jul 2007.) I liked the camera and my wife did as well. The camera was very occasionally used and looked brand new when it quit (never dropped, wet or dusty & kept in easy case when not in use.) The lens stuck in the out position and nothing I tried would decipher it return, it quit taking pictures as well. The repair cost was $80 plus S/H to Kodak and $91 plus S/H to an independent repair slot. Except for the durability issue the camera was the best one we had. Sad to say Kodak may be the best label around but it's another brand for me. Durability is the number one priority for me since my pockets are not directly of cash.
Rate THIS BEFORE YOU BUY- LCD BREAKS/OVERPRICED
I shop-talk believe they are selling this camera for 300 bucks. I bought it for my quiet last year for 140 (tax included) at Best Buy I think.
Anyways I in reality hope noone spends that much.
The cons of this camera are what populace mentioned: slow lag time when you push down the knob to take your pic (maybe 1 second after you push it nap) Flash is very bright, software sucks HORRIBLY. THE Major CON IS THIS: The LCD screen breaks extremely easily, even if you put the camera in a turn out that in the event of. The camera was in its case, and in a small carryon suitcase (we were the alone ones that had it and were careful with it) and somehow the LCD shield still got cracked. Upon looking for replacement LCD screen, I build out they cost 55 not including shipping. I also saw sundry many other people posting reviews and complaints with respect to the LCD screens cracking.
There is a viewfinder on this, but it makes the camera bordering on useless. If you buy this camera please dont spend 300 and travel SURE you are the type who will be extremely delicate with this camera, and sober if you put it in a hard case, the screen might crack. I read surrounding a pen in a girls purse cracking the screen. It is also quite large.
One cool feature is the Panoramic setting. You can link many pics for a prodigious pic. Too bad I cant use anything without the lcd screen! :(
I am not impressed
This camera has been a ass since I got it last year. The major flaw that I be struck by found is that the flash is entirely too bright. Most of my pictures with the spark come out looking like things are glowing. I have tried playing with the flickering but it doesn't work.
Another issue I have with it is that it takes too yearn to get the picture. Again, I've experimented with settings but it doesn't serve. The pause is long enough to screw up any posed shots (someone thinks the spitting image was taken and moves) and forget action shots.
If anyone moves, the essence gets a blur. Oh and let's not forget that sometimes parts of the representation seem blurry even without anyone having moved.
I can't lacuna to find a better deal on a camera and get rid of this one. I had an older easyshare in the future this one and LOVED it. This one, not so much.
