A Great Camera for the Price. [Posted on 2008-06-20] I decided to get a digital camera to upgrade picture quality from the pictures I take on my disc camcorder for my website. I decided that if I was going to get one that I would get one with high mega pixels to get the best quality pictures that I can get for my money. After taking the camera out for a couple trial runs at some functions I had I found this camera to be a GREAT buy for the money spent. I even like the computer progam that came with the camera. It's very user friendly and shows up very well on my PC when it comes to picture clarity. One of the pictures I took was out on ther ocean on a frinds boat and I could actually see every ripple in the waves in the water. When you click on your photo albums your pictures come out at full screen and the picture clarity was stupendous for them to be so big. They even have a nice slide show to review your photos. Taking photos is very easy too. There is a pre screen that helps you center your pictures before you take the perminant shot. The only flaw that I found is that the camera doesn't have an anti-shake feature to help you stabalize blurs when taking pictures. You may have to retake some pictures if you don't have a steady hand at times. There is a lot more great things that the camera can do and so far I like what I purchased. If you want a good digital camera without spending an arm and a leg this is the camera for you.
Worth the every penny. [Posted on 2008-06-30] I priced this camera for $200 at a large retail. For $100, it is an excellent buy. It has all the option needed and more.
Camera OK, customer service horrible [Posted on 2008-06-30] Not a bad camera overall, but God help you if anything goes wrong with it. Ours stopped turning on after about 5 months. We sent it back and they claimed that it was "corrosion damage" and not covered under warranty. This is ludicrous. The camera was practically new and had never been near water. So for $90 bucks they offered a "refurbished" camera, which the customer service person claimed was simply an open box return and had been completely checked over by their service people. From the moment we took it out of the box it has had problems turning on and off. We called them again and they said ship it back (at our cost) and within 30 days they would determine whether they would replace it or not. Something tells me that they would find that somehow we had damaged it even though it didn't work properly from the moment we received it. We are going to cut our losses and buy something else.
AMAZING! [Posted on 2008-07-10] I have now owned this camera for 2 days and can't let go of it. Everything about this camera is about as perfect as you can get. It takes great photos, has tons of awesome features, great in-camera editing, 720p HD video recording, digital image stabilization, 12 mega pixels, 5x optical zoom..... the list goes on and on. And all for the incredibly low price of $100!!! Well, thats at least how much I paid for mine and it was and it was well worth every penny! I also bought a 4GB SDHC memory card for under $10 shipped and now I can record an hour of HD video or take about 1000 12MP pictures! The only gripe I have about this camera is the battery life. It only lasts a couple hours before I have to change the batteries. But since I have rechargeable batteries and a nice camera case that easily holds several batteries, this is no big deal. Great job, Kodak!
Good Camera, Great Picture Quality [Posted on 2008-07-26] I have only had this camera for a few weeks and it seems to to great pictures with excellent color and flesh tone, even on the6 megapix setting. The video quality is very good as far as color and definition, however, the videos are jumpy. The anti shake id in my opinion useless, because itis digital and not optical. The 5x zoom is great and the camera is relatively small
