Auto focus is not . . . [Posted on 2008-02-25]
We got this camera because it was feature rich but still had the point and shoot option.
However, the auto mode rarely renders a shot in focus. It may need to be calibrated but i'll be damned if i can figure out how to do so. Sent it in for repair, was good for maybe one month, then back to blur. I can get great shots in the manual modes and other presets. My main beef is with the auto.
Wide angle lens is Great! I love it. But without an easy auto for people to pick it up and shoot it. It fails to get more than 2 stars.
Probably a great camera for those who shoot manually or in aperature or shutter priority.
Faster than I expected! [Posted on 2008-03-05]
I agree about the Sandisk III being fast and the need for a fast card with this camera. I have a Sandisk II and a Sandisk III. Both give the same speed. They both transfer data as fast as the camera can process it. This camera is faster than I expected although still slow on focussing. 5 stars for so many features and 4.5 for image quaility. It is an excellent buy if you can find one. Oh, you can also focus and take another photo even if it is processing the previous - so no major delay.
P880 Promises but doesn't deliver [Posted on 2008-04-25]
I purchased this camera to replace my Olympus ON-1. It should have been a high quality piece of equipment, however from day one the pictures were intermittently out of focus. I did not notify Kodak immediately thinking it was operator error. However, after using it for some time the problem got progressively worse. Now of course it is out of warranty and Kodak will gladly repair it for $150. So to have a working camera I now have to spend more $$$$ a total investment of over $600 for a camera which is questionable to say the least. My suggestion is to purchase a Canon or Olympus and leave this one alone.
Constantly Breaking [Posted on 2008-07-29]
There's a reason that this camera is no longer sold - it's horrible! I don't usually leave a bad review, but this camera has been the burr in my side for a very long time. I had to have Kodak send me a new one, and THEN the new one broke! I will never purchase a Kodak digital camera again.
p880 the more you use it - the more you appreciate it [Posted on 2008-09-21]
I recommend you use this camera with a tripod to produce quality pictures equal to most DSLR $$$$$ rigs
