Faithful little camera~I bought this camera for my dad who is electronically unenlightened =P He uses it for work, and it takes nice pictures for a point and run.
Win initially Time I've Been Disappointed With a Kodak
But Kodaks aren't known as a top quality photgraphic tool, this is the at the outset time I've ever been disappointed in one. I've owned other Kodaks, but this one didn't throw in the towel 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 skilled and are incredible values, but this one I cannot recommend.
Lacks hardihood
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 not often used and looked brand new when it quit (never dropped, wet or dusty & kept in give in case when not in use.) The lens stuck in the out position and nothing I tried would choose it return, it quit taking pictures as well. The repair rate was $80 plus S/H to Kodak and $91 plus S/H to an independent repair district. Except for the durability issue the camera was the best one we had. Sad to say Kodak may be the best sort around but it's another brand for me. Durability is the number one priority for me since my pockets are not exactly of cash.
Reflect on THIS BEFORE YOU BUY- LCD BREAKS/OVERPRICED
I shop-talk believe they are selling this camera for 300 bucks. I bought it for my preserve last year for 140 (tax included) at Best Buy I think.
Anyways I very hope noone spends that much.
The cons of this camera are what residents 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 Main CON IS THIS: The LCD screen breaks extremely easily, even if you put the camera in a package. The camera was in its case, and in a small carryon suitcase (we were the solely ones that had it and were careful with it) and somehow the LCD divide still got cracked. Upon looking for replacement LCD screen, I initiate out they cost 55 not including shipping. I also saw numerous many other people posting reviews and complaints here the LCD screens cracking.
There is a viewfinder on this, but it makes the camera hardly useless. If you buy this camera please dont spend 300 and tip off a exaggerate SURE you are the type who will be extremely delicate with this camera, and tranquil if you put it in a hard case, the screen might crack. I read with regard to a pen in a girls purse cracking the screen. It is also quite voluminous.
One cool feature is the Panoramic setting. You can link many pics for a mountainous pic. Too bad I cant use anything without the lcd screen! :(
I am not impressed
This camera has been a migraine since I got it last year. The major flaw that I demand found is that the flash is entirely too bright. Most of my pictures with the speed come out looking like things are glowing. I have tried playing with the glint but it doesn't work.
Another issue I have with it is that it takes too hunger to get the picture. Again, I've experimented with settings but it doesn't nick. The pause is long enough to screw up any posed shots (someone thinks the sketch was taken and moves) and forget action shots.
If anyone moves, the show gets a blur. Oh and let's not forget that sometimes parts of the look-alike seem blurry even without anyone having moved.
I can't sit tight to find a better deal on a camera and get rid of this one. I had an older easyshare more willingly than this one and LOVED it. This one, not so much.
