"THE PERFECT POINT AND SHOOT" on by dlshow101
Pros: Size, Mega Pixels, quality, ease of use, Whats not to love
Cons: low light shots leave a little to be desired, but not worth taking a point away
Summary: The Kodak is simply the best camera i have ever used. Its shoots an extremly high quality photos. the panoramic shot mode takes a little practice. it takes 3 seperate photos in 4.2 MP mode, then stiches them together. it even helps you line up each shot with the previouse shot. the finished product is a 12MP really cool looking photo.
besides that, the regular photos just "pop". i have used nothing but Fuji Fine Pix cameras up until this point. comparitivly, the Kodak is twice as easy to use, and the software does not make me want to pull my hair out. all-in-all, a really high end, solid product. you would be crazy not to buy this camera -
"Very happy" on by charlynn3
Pros: Easy to use and small enough to take any where
Cons: Can't think of any right now
Summary: I have had my camera for a little more than a month and I use it everywhere. The picture quality is nice and I am very please with my purchase. If you have the Kodak printer set up you will be a one man/woman novice-midrange photographer...or feel like one. I even recommend the Kodak family of cameras to my family and friends.
For the new user, be sure to read/review your manual to get the entire bang for your buck.
I gave it a 9 rating because there is no product perfect for everyone.
Good luck in your camera purchase and photography. -
"Lots of camera for the money." on by zymosis2
Pros: Easy point and shoot plus manual controls.
Cons: Chews up batteries.
Summary: Overall not a bad camera. There are lots of presets to choose from and they work well. The camera even has a limited list of manual control options that work as well as the photographer can make them work. The lens is large and so contributes to the detail. The image stays sharp at full magnification but the user must be aware that if you zoom beyond the 5x the camera will use digital zoom and so the image will deteriorate. At the high ISO setting the image is very noisy but if one were using ISO/ASA 3200 film the image would be similarly noisy (grainy). It is an inescapable fact of photography. The camera has been criticized as not very sleek. True. It is not an aerodynamic design. But it is a camera, not a jet. The HD video is OK. Carry extra batteries as it uses them up in a hurry, especially if you shoot a lot of video.

"Excellent camera for the money" on by iceman8265
Pros: Value, Great choice of modes,
Cons: no view finder
Summary: I bought mine from Kodak the day it came out. It takes excellent pictures on manual settings...like a 35mm. It also makes a great point and shoot. I also us energizer e-lithium batteries, you can shoot a ton before you have to change them. Would definitely buy this camera again. It does need a view finder, my only complaint about the camera and what kept me from giving a 10. Very satisfied with this product.

"Unexpectedly LOVE This Camera" on by packersgirly
Pros: 12 megapixels for low price; large screen for viewing; incredibly easy to use; great features including low-light and video w/sound and in-camera editing; good zoom range
Cons: Would prefer thinner camera but would not sacrifice the 'Pros' to get it
Summary: I am shocked at how much I love this camera! It was an unexpected purchase; I was going to upgrade a Nikon of a similar variety to a Canon that had better zoom capability when I saw this on TV while flipping channels. I expected to try it, hate it and send it back but I absolutely love it and wouldn't trade it. I was able to take a picture of our family Christmas tree using only the bulbs on it for light and it came out so beautifully that I'm going to use it for cards next year. Great buy.
