"Iffy value on this one" on by cobalt_arrow
Pros: Cheap price for audio/video recording cap; not a ton of things to learn to use
Cons: Video playback on the computer was horrid, Kodak customer service is in name only
Summary: I tried 2 seperate cameras of this model and had the same problem with both: the lighting reqs for doing vids is alot. If I didn't have huge amounts of lighting in the room the video playback on the comp using the supplied software was abysmally dark and nothing could be seen. Kodak's customer service is laughable if it wasn't for the fact I paid over $100 for this camera. The still pics it takes are good though. Also the supplied manual and the online manual (basically it's the same as the one from the box) are terribly insufficient. There's buttons on the camera they don't tell you how to really use at all. The supplied software suffered simialr deficiencies.

"tops other budget cameras" on by gravasco
Pros: even has an anti-shake feature, many scenes, high ISO, zooms in video mode
Cons: flash is not strong enough
Summary: For the cheapest budget camera I've found (around $100)in the market today, this one tops the rest of its class... clear crisp pictures in all sorts of light (even backlight), even an anti-shake feature present usually in expensive cameras, and the zoom works even when you are in video mode. So far I am enjoying the experience.

"Excellent camera for the money" on by alexmckinney
Pros: Easy to use and carry; great beginner camera
Cons: Shutter speed could be a little faster.
Summary: I have owned a couple bulkier cameras with more features that this one, but I am very please with this camera. The picture quality is excellent and with a 1GB SD card I never have to worry about running out of disk space. My wife complained about too many features with our other cameras but she loves this one.

"great camera for the price" on by winabega
Pros: It takes vry nice shots and is very easy to learn to use. There are alot of different scene modes that can be used to increase the quality of your shots. It is extremely durable and I am very impressed with this camera.
Cons: You can not zoom while recording you must do that prior to pressing the button. It does not have a rechargable battery it uses AA batteries so I suggest using some good quality rechargable AAs. It doesnt take pictures very quickly eiither.
Summary: Overall I think that this camera is amazing. I have dropped it hundreds of times from up to 5 1/2 feet up and no damage (besides a few scratches) has ever occured. I have dropped it in the snow while skiing, gotten water on it while boating, exposed it to very cold and hot temperatures and taken over 6000 pictures on it. To me it seems indestructable. I used to have a cannon and it fell of my purse to the ground a total distance of about 6 inches and it broke. So i was very very impressed with this cameras durability. I have taken this camera skiing with me in my hand. I recorded videos of me si\kiing and it has gotten covered in snow which melted to water and i have seen no damage done.
HOwever, it does have its cons too. i was not very impressed with the video because you can not zoom in once you have started recording. Also it runs off of AA batteries and unless you buy a good quality rechargable AA batteries it can be quite spendy. It also only has 6.2 megapixel and 3 X zoom.
I am looking for a new camera because this one does not meet the standards that i want since i am getting much more serious about photography. But i am giving it to my younger sister. I would recommend this camera for someone who is just starting out, is a child, or just wants a good quality camera for a cheap price.
Since I got this camera my whole family hsas swithed to kodak because of its durablitiy and reliability. I am looking for a new kodak and I hope that you will enjoy this camera as much as i did -
"THIS CAMERA IS WHAT I NEED" on by narn3049
Pros: READ SUMMARY
Cons: READ SUMMARY
Summary: I got this camera back when I didn't have a good enough of a camera phone, but I still used this as a camera, but don't much as I have a better of a camera now. Don't really have any complaints about this camera, just that one time sand got between the lens things and it wouldn't come out, but I cleaned it and it started working again. And then the camera drains the batteries fast, but as I said in a prev. review your using a camera a bunch, so it will wear out on the battery
