I've finally come into the digital age, at least when it comes to cameras. My first experience with a digital camera was back in 2001 and it was such a bad ordeal that it soured me on digital cameras for seven years. Having found myself in need of a digital camera, I finally built up my courage to give it a try once more. So I won a bid for a new Kodak 7.1 MP EasyShare and waited for it to arrive. Once the camera was in my possession I knew I was going to be very pleased with my purchase. In addition to the camera, the unit came with a 2 GB SD card, mini tripod, carrying case, lens cleaning kit, batteries and software. The only negative side to all of this were the batteries. They were dead and non-rechargeable. However, after a quick trip to the store I was able to find a charger and batteries for under $20.00. I'm very pleased with the operation of the camera. It's not an SLR so there's still that hesitation after pressing the shutter before the picture is taken, but the auto focus and SCN modes provide me with sharp pictures. There are a lot of useful features to this camera that I like. It has a 3X optical zoom as well as the digital zoom, but it will also allow me to change my ISO speed, white balance and exposure metering. There's a burst feature for rapid shots, 10 Scene modes, 4 flash modes and 4 picture modes including video. Reviewing and deleting shots are super easy and while I've yet to use all the features, I'm really looking forward to seeing how the long time exposure feature will perform for my astrophotography. Overall, I like this camera and I'm pleased with it's operation and performance.Read full review
I bought this camera for my ameteur-photographer husband as an upgrade on his 5 megapixel limited-feature camera. He LOVES the different features on this camera - from snow to indoor to outdoor to close up (and beyond). The camera will tell you (by pressing halfway down on the shoot button) whether the shot needs more lighting, focus, etc by way of green, yellow, or red light. However, the camera also has an AUTO setting for people (me) who just want a perfect shot almost every time. Top quality sound recording makes the video recording on this camera excellent. Very easy to use the video feature as well! However, the EASYSHARE software that comes with the camera is very SLOW and confusing. Although you can bypass the software with other generic programs (for example, we use whatever is installed with Windows - the 'get picture Wizard'), I was disappointed with the EASYSHARE software that promised to make printing, saving, and emailing photos, well, EASY. I still recommend the camera because of its features.Read full review
This is the 3rd Easy share camera my wife and I own. The pictures are excellent. Having 2 special needs kids who are full of life & laughter, we have plenty of memories from the still pictures. I also take office pictures, sporting events, and pictures of scenes that we encounter in our travels. The videos on the other hand need to be in a well lit area. The other downside is the display screen. The reason we have 3 of these cameras, it that the screen is very delicate. It can get damaged easily and the only time you can see the pictures are when you upload them to your computer. The most reason pictures I took were with my father-in-law, who has a major medical condition and was so encouraged of recent events at home, though him living though his life threatening illness, and seeing history in his life time. I didn't know how the pictures looked until hours later when we got home to upload the pictures. The picture of him, my wife, and my sister-in-law (who travel over 2,000 miles to be home) when President Obama was sworn in was my best pictures ever (even with the screen damaged). The down-side was I couldn't zoom in on the TV, because of the damage to the screen. If Kodak can fix that problem, this would be a perfect camera and will never lose its value. Never the less, we still enjoy using it and we have completely stopped using 35mm cameras because of this camera. It is also great on each of the SD cards we own. Overall, this is a great camera that needs just a few changes. A SMALL RECOMMENDATION; eBay have SD card readers that you can get for less than $1.00, making it when you don’t need to use the cable to upload your shots to your computer. You can just put the SD card into the reader and connect it to a USB port for immediate upload. Perfect if you are on the road and need to get pictures emailed on the run.Read full review
I have always wanted a digital camera. I decided to buy the Kodak Easy Share because it looked nice and it could work with its own separate printer or my own. It takes better pictures than my mother in laws and hers is a 12 megapixel. (Different brand) It takes awhile to get use to a digital camera. Some pictures may turn out blurry in the beginning until you get use to using it. The only thing wrong with my camera is it will shut it self off and it won't come back on. You can take the batteries out and then put them back in and then usually it will come back on. I made several mistakes in the beginning and lost some precious moments due to this. I hope that no one else has this same problem. Oh yeah...the video recorder is great too!!
The quality of photos is excellent. It's very easy to use taking pictures and getting the pictures onto the computer. I bought this one to replace one I had dropped. The one I got from eBay is a little bit quirky, but still has the same high-quality resolution and ease of use. The quirks are what you have to deal with when buying used or refurbished I suppose. Best to go with brand new!
