 Surprised at all the positive reviews December 1, 2008
I am not a digital camera aficionado, so you may want to read some more reviews, but I based my purchase on several positive reviews here. I wish I had done some more personal testing of other cameras before my purchase. Yes, it takes a good picture, but there are several things not to like about this camera.
1. It uses AA batteries (may be a plus to some people) but if you take a lot of pictures, the batteries will constantly be dying. And if you buy rechargable batteries, the batteries start to die by the 3rd picture.
2. It takes several seconds to resume the ability to shoot after each picture, not good if you have kids sitting in poses.
3. It is gigantic - bigger is definitely not better in this instance. For a professional camera that might be acceptable, but when one half its size is just as good, there is no reason to buy such a monster of a camera.
4. Every time you change the batteries, you need to reprogram the date and time. Again, if you are trying to catch your kids doing something cute, this is sooooo annoying.
5. The "on/off" button malfunctioned after about 2 months and I had to send it in to be fixed. Not such a big deal, but it is worth mentioning.
I'm sure there are other things not to like about it, but I am pretty easy to please and I really really dislike this camera. Hope this helps.
 Very Pleased November 27, 2008
I've owned this camera about a year now and have been very pleased. I like the zoom capabilities and the colors the camera produces. Some people complained about the battery life, but I bought two rechargeable batteries for it and haven't had any problems.
Exceptional November 23, 2008
The camera was shipped out immediately and arrived in perfect condition very quickly. Everything was exactly as described and I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Kodak camera in the future or shop with this company.
Better than expected November 14, 2008
I was tired of the 3x zoom on my Canon digital and found this camera for $189 and thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did. It has one of the best lenses I've seen on this type of camera. The response time is better than my other camera too-there isn't a long delay between photos.
I had some issues with powering off/on or the lens appearing to get stuck like others have mentioned, I switched from the Lithium AA's to Lithium CRV-3 and the problem ended. The CRV3's last longer anyway and like others have mentioned you can purchase them as rechargeables.
After 5 months of using the camera I found the little button to the left of the view finder to make the view finder functional and turn the screen off-this will save battery life. Silly me, I thought the view finder was for looks only!
I'm very pleased with the crisp color in the photos, the fact that it has sound on the videos and the many modes you can shoot in although I tend to just use Auto. To shoot video you hold down the button as long as you want to record and release when done. I'm not sure how long it records, it depends on the capacity of the SD card.
This is my first Kodak digital and I would purchase one again.
 Could Be Better November 10, 2008
It would be a great camera if every feature worked. It won't take video, which is not why I bought it, but don't tell me about it if it won't actually work. It tends to "lock up" quite frequently and the only way to "unlock" it is to open the battery cover and "reboot" so to speak. I have lost several non-repeatable shots because of this. I shouldn't have to ship it back to correct the problem which I feel is an unnecessary hassle.
