Still getting to know the whatfores & whyfores, but have found it easy to use & the picture quality to be very good!! I'm sure any problems are the result of my inexperience & should become less and less as I get better aqainted with it!! All & all am very satisfied!!

it is to small and like for a child to me it was a waste of money i thought it would be a lot beter according to the picture. In my thoughts I have cheated with this little camera it is not about money but the principal I do not like this camera it is too little.

Out of all of the cameras I have ever owned, this is probably one of the best. It has loads of great features including a dozen different settings for a great picture. Includes 5x optical zoom for getting close to an object still with a good quality image. The LCD screen is nice and bright even in the bright sunlight. Takes only 2x AA batteries which last for several hours (as long as you are using rechargeable batteries). The HD Video is fantastic, comes out nice, bright and clear, as well as good sound. Although the camera is nice well, built and stable; Unfortunately, this camera happens to be in the bulky camera family. It does not have a good grip or place to hold without accidentally pressing buttons. The cameras picture quality if very good, but is probably no different than a standard 5 megapixel EasyShare camera. The 12 megapixels are only good if you are going to use them for very large prints. This is also not a great camera for closeup macro photos. It will usually start going blurry, or refuse to auto-focus when the object is within about 10 inches......... With all of that said, if you are the type for taking good outdoor landscape photos, or perhaps portrait photos, I would definitely recommend this camera. Hope this review helps;....Harry.Read full review
The camera takes a very crisp, clear picture. For an advanced ametuer, it is an excellent camera. I wouldn't recommend a point and shoot camera of this calliber to a professional, nor to a complete novice. It has too many features for the novice to get hte best pic out of it, and professionals know why point and shoots aren't the best. I put this camera ot the test as soon as I got it, and the pictures came out wonderfully. It caught fast motion well, it takes great pic in low light settings, even in candlelit dark, the pics are good. the memory needed for the pics is amazing to me, no one should ever need more than a 2gb SD card. My only issue with the camera is hte video feature. The videos were very choppy and a lot of good video was missed by the camera. The playback on my computer was like watching a quality YouTube video on a Pentium III. Unfortunately, it was the playback that was choppy, but the video the camera itself caught. I checked with a high quality SD card, and it still was poor. My lesson, always use a camcorder. All in all, this camera is well worth the money. Also, I love buying referbished electronics. The quality of the items are just as good as new, and the prices are so much lower. I may always be one step behind on the technology because I buy so many items refurbished, but I am also not a wealthy person that can afford the latest and greatest thing.Read full review
Well, I was in the market for a digital camera and after pricing several at Wal-Mart, I stumbled on this camera and snagged it as the price was very reasonable for a 12 MP camera. The camera takes excellent HD photos and the menus are easy to navigate. I took a picture with some moving vehicles and the camera did an excellent job capturing the cars with no high-speed blur evident. That is good for people wanting to take the camera on a cross-country trip as the camera will not have any difficulties with the vehicle being in motion. The digital zoom was also better than I expected, having used that mode at maximum zoom on the moon. There was some washing out due to the flash, however, I suspect that without the flash, the extreme closeup of the moon would have turned out nice. The camera's internal memory is sufficient to hold about 50 pictures in 12 MP mode, and, of course, a lot more as you select lower MP. I was very happy to see that a 2 GB SD card could hold 540 pictures in 12 MP and over 3,000 in 1.2 MP mode. I would recommend the higher MP modes, though. Anything above 6 MP will give high quality shots. The video mode works well once you have a SD/HC card in there. I now use a 4 GB card and that provides upwards of 30 minutes of video assuming that the card is empty. Storm chasers will love the camera, especially the ability of the camera to use a very high shutter speed to capture lightning and a slower speed to hopefully capture a series of lightning strikes. A few cons are need to be mentioned, though. Make sure that you get high capacity batteries for use with this camera. Standard alkaline batteries are not able to power the camera very long. You may get as few as three shots before the camera goes down, depending on the alkaline battery initial strength. One major con discovered is that the camera has difficulty with night shots using the flash. Pictures are not well exposed with the flash, and if the object is producing it's own light, the camera will wash out the object, resulting in a poor picture. If you're moving, don't bother trying to get a shot with or without the flash. With the flash, it's grainy and without the flash, the camera increases the exposure time, resulting in severe blur. The camera does tell you that it's best to steady itself for a night shot, and that's good advice. The users manual is lacking in detail and even recommends that users visit the Kodak website to get a more detailed manual. Kodak seemed to be more interested in providing basic information in English, Spanish, Portugese(Brazilian), and French instead of giving users a more in depth version of a manual. Also, in USB mode, you can't take pictures with it and the camera does not tell you if it's still on battery power or drawing current from the computer. It might have been better for the firmware to tell you if it was on internal power or not. A final minor issue is that whenever the batteries are replaced, the unit goes back to factory defaults and any special settings you may have set disappear.Read full review
