Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A great camera for a good price. Camera boots up quickly and takes pics quickly (I am upgrading from a 4 year old Easy Share product). There are only a few minor "glitches" you need to be a aware of with this point and shoot. The first is flash and button location. If you aren't paying attention, your finger that you use to snap a photo can easily get in the way of the camera flash. The only other "irritation" at the moment, is the face recognition. It appears there needs to be a SIGNIFICANT amount of contrast between foreground and background for the face recognition to work effectively. Body against a blank background with flash - YES. Any other scenario, it is rare that the face picks up a tag.
Has a proprietary battery that needs to be charged in camera. Could not easily find an external charger for the battery and I looked extensively. Picked up a an after market product instead.
As always, comes bundled with Kodak software on the camera. This can be a plus or minus depending on your feelings about Easyshare software (I have not been a fan as it automatically places pictures in it's own file structure unless you tell it to place it where everyone else in the world places their photos - My Pictures - assuming this software still does this, please correct me if it has changed as I avoid Kodak software by default nowadays).
A great, compact, VERY FEATURE RICH camera with a few minor irritations. If I had it to do over again, I would buy this camera.
I don't really understand the pricing "game" with this device, but it must be an amazon thing. All cameras in this series are identical except for color. I picked up the blue one as it was about $5 cheaper than any other. Also was not "allowed to see the price" unless it was in the "cart." This feels like old-school salesmanship, but perhaps the claim it is required by kodak is legit.
