Still Best Bang For Your Buck [Posted on 2008-10-06]
I've had this camera for over a year, and it is still by far the best bang for your buck. The HD looks nice on a 16X9 TV, the pictures are ALWAYS high res, and colors are usually pretty well balanced. A little something I found randomly on the camera that has been a ton of fun is the panoramic mode that "stitches" the 3 shots you took together for a live preview in a few moments. One thing I would suggest for sure though is a hard case to protect it. The shutter release is kinda delicate and I've had to get it repaired, but this camera is a blast.
Great all-around camera [Posted on 2008-10-16]
Beautiful HD images, the best video camera I've ever owned, massive and clear display. Seems solid, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I've had bad luck with the reliability of previous Kodak cameras. You need to buy the HD dock to view in HD on a TV directly from the camera.
awesome camera [Posted on 2008-10-21]
i have had many camera's. i am always taking pictures and so when i dragged my video and still camera to a cheer competetion for my niece, i noticed a man reviewing his video taping he had just done on this little camera. needless to say i asked him what model number and went right home and ordered one on Amazon. i ordered it on Friday and it was to me by Tuesday, amazing. i had it in time to take pictures at my mother in law's 80th birthday and they turned out fantastic! Saturday i took video inside a moon bounce of my grand children and the movie was crystal clear. this little camera is just what i have been waiting for. i can't wait to take it to Las Vegas next year.
Returned it in 30 Mins [Posted on 2008-10-31]
I ordered this camera from Amazon and it came in no time flat which was great. Unfortunately the camera is going back in less than 1 hour of ownership. I took the camera out of the box and loaded it with an 8 GB SD Card and tried out the video recording capability. Now this camera can record at 720P and it records in Quicktime MOV. I have a Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook and the video was completely out of sync, grainy and washed out. I wonder if mine was defective because the video was NOTHING like I had seen on the online sharing sites.
Decent mid-level camera with some great features [Posted on 2008-11-29]
Pros:
Easy to use-software simple to navigate
Plenty of adjustable camera settings for various situations
Camera quickly powers on
Microphone works well with video mode
Steady pictures come out very clear/crisp
3" screen makes it easy to take some quality pictures
Cons:
Poor quality low light pics (even with flash on)
Does not always sync correctly with Kodak easyshare software
Sometimes will not turn on properly-immediately powers down after pressing the on button
Certain camera settings produce unclear pics if you don't have the steadiest of hands (or it's windy)
Needs to come with an A/C charger
Overall, not a bad purchase. This camera's price and features make it a good competitor to some other brands.
