Rating: Summary: Minor Problems Review: One problem I came across: Many times, not always, after I press the Shutter button, the LCD shows the picture with the delete icon, I believe unless I want to delete it, I should just wait for the camera to keep this picture and be ready for the next one. However, the LCD goes off. I have to press the "do it" button to bring back the LCD preview to be ready for the next one. (My batteries are charged). Is this normal? Need to ask Kodak. Meanwhile, if you know the answer, email to jeng2000@ureach.com
Rating: Summary: Intuitive... Review: The best personal digital camera for the money. Kodak should have never discontinued this camera. I've used it in the construction industry and the military prior to that. It's been rained on, snowed on, in the desert and in the mountains. I've tried other Kodak's but this is the one for me. Keep the prices low, pretty soon I'll have 5 of them. Thanks!

Rating: Summary: Not worth the price Review: The camera feels solid and it is, quite easy to use. The fixed focus and no choice of compression mode make it impossible to get a sharp picture, espacially with nature shots. It always comes out fuzzy. I regret my purchase.
Rating: Summary: The battery life is horrible. Review: The camera is decent for the price. What I really don't like is the battery juice just gets sucked out. I constantly have to recharge my batteries and it's really a pain. Plus, the battery holder broke. Now I have to hold it together with tape.
Rating: Summary: Great Camera, Reasonable Price Review: The only thing that I can say about this camera that isn't positive is the downloading speed through the serial connection. This camera takes great quality pictures, is easy to use, a comfortable size, and is a bargain compared to its peers. The optical zoom is the best feature because most cameras in its class only have digital zoom. The editing software included is not the best, but that should not stop anyone from buying this camera.
Rating: Summary: Decent if you like huge heavy clunky cameras Review: This body design is so outdated, it is not worth the price at all. It is huge and heavy. The performance isn't bad, but one problem I had (I owned 2 - not because I liked it so much but my company uses them) and I had the same problem on both of them - the battery compartment won't stay closed and you have to hold it closed with tape. Also, sometimes it will have a brain fart and the screen will go all snowy, and you will be snapping pictures but they aren't taking, even though it appears that they are. But when you go back to review them, they aren't there. I also had this problem on both cameras but it wasn't as common - it only happened about 3-4 times over a year period (and I use the camera almost daily). The battery life is pretty good - I can usually get 75 or so pics out of it before I have to recharge the batteries. But I would not really recommend it since there are definitely other models out there that are much better for this price.

Rating: Summary: I just got a Bargain! Review: This camera is a very good deal. I got it today, and I like it very much. The quality of the pictures it takes is very good. Doesn't have a lot of features, but this is what is expected from a <$300 camera. Comparing it to HP C200, which is of the same price, this one definitely wins. 2X Optical zoom, and picture quality is much better. The only problem is that the Flash Memory Card is kind of small only 4 mb
Rating: Summary: Solid performer at a good price. Review: This is a fine little digital camera for beginners or casual users. It looks good, has great balance in the hand, and offers enough features to make it fairly versatile. Aside from the recreational user, it might be an ideal camera for someone like a real estate broker who wants to have something handy in the glove compartment, but doesn't want to worry about a very expensive piece of equipment getting lost or stolen. The camera is not perfect, but it is a good buy. PROS: 1) Appearance, weight & balance. 2) Highly readable (and adjustable!) LCD display. 3) AAA batteries readily available...(2 sets of rechargeable would be great). 4) Optical (2x) zoom. 5) Switchable resolution settings: a) 640 x 480 perfect for emails & websites. b) 1,152 x 864 good enough for 5" x 7" prints. 6) Very good software package. 7) Kodak service & warranty. 8) Readily available CompactFlash memory cards. 9) Faster recovery btwn shots than most digicams. 10)Useful & handy lens cap.CONS: 1) Fixed focus lens (like old 110 cameras). 2) Limited (2x) zoom. 3) No USB connection to download shots to PC (this will make the purchase of a separate memory card reader a must). 4) Need for battery charger & rechargeables (to be practical).
