Rating: Summary: It all depends on what you want it for Review: This is a great little camera for people who are just wanting to mess around with digital photography, but don't want to do anything serious. It's ideal for quick snapshots on a family vacation or the kids in the backyard. It's also a perfect gift to give a kid who really wants a digital camera, but you don't want to spend $300.Other positives: It's lightweight, doesn't require a lot of thought, and the small screen really guides you through what all the buttons are for. Everything is well labeled, and sharing photos is simple. Other people have said that they didn't like the software, but I didn't have a problem with it. Because it's designed to be simple, it has some flaws when it comes to more complicated operations. It takes really crummy night shots. Don't even bother trying to use the nightime setting unless you have a tripod. Also, the screen on the back is deceptive, especially when it comes to nightshots. You think you have a good picture until you load it onto your computer and you realize it's totally blurry. But, for a 2 megapixel camera, it's great. It's a good gift for kids and a good starter camera for just about anyone.

Rating: Summary: An excellent bang for the buck digital camera!! Review: This is my first digital camera, and I researched here and elsewhere on the Internet before buying it. I bought it based on the positive reviews here, and I'm very glad I did! The Zoom (both in and out) feature is much better than I was expecting, because some reviews here led me to believe it wasn't that great. Well, mine does a terrific job! Of course, the extreme close up pictures are grainy, but you can get really close before this happens. It takes very vivid pictures that are easily transferred to your PC with the included USB cable. While it is true you must load the Kodak software to do this, the software is pretty powerful and has a very easy to learn (friendly) graphical user interface. It comes with an internal 16MB's of memory (18 Pictures at Best setting, 35 at the Better setting), but you probably would want to buy a 128MB SD Card like I did (which holds up to 149 Pictures at the Best setting, 298 at the Better setting) so you can really take pictures without having to worry about running out of space/memory before you do pictures. The Review and Delete features are first rate, as well as the LCD display. The Flash button is also great, since you don't have to search through the menus to cut the flash off or on (default is on). It has a movie mode that I don't really plan on using, but it's there if I want it. Of course, I doubt the quality of the video or sound would be that great, but again, the option is there. Same with the Share button, you press this button to 'bookmark' a given picture if you plan to send it to friends or family over the Internet in E-Mails, etc., or to print out on your printer. That way, you don't have to search through the many pictures to find the 2-3 you think are worth sharing or printing. But be prepared to either buy the Kodak 6000 Camera Dock or a Battery Charger that will charge Ni-MH batteries (most come with at least 2 Ni-MH batteries), because I've read on the Internet it uses batteries very rapidly, like every other digital camera out there. I would highly recommend this camera to family and friends and anyone else wanting an excellent bargain as well as an excellent camera! Bottom line- Pros: Price, features, LCD Display, 16MB's Internal memory, everything you need included in the box (except a charger or Kodak 6000 Camera Dock), first rate Zoom function, and no more film to take to the drug store!! Cons: No camera case and the batteries included are not rechargeable.
Rating: Summary: Nice camera, great photo's. Review: We were able to purchase this model for a very reasonable price. We took it home and played around with it. At first I was a little concerned that it wouldn't take a good quality picture because it was only 2.0 MP. Boy was I wrong! This camera takes amazing pictures. It's so easy to use, it's lightweight. I would highly recommend this camera, you won't be sorry.
Rating: Summary: Great people and landscape shots! Review: Wow, I have had a 2.1MP camera (HP 315) for a couple years and this one outperforms it in every way! Here's what I like: Color/B&W/Sepia filter Built in 16MB memory Fits in your pocket Clear pictures (both people and landscape) Dummy-proof :) The only thing I don't like is the navigation button on the left, because I have to push a little above the center to "select" an option.
