Summary: LS 420 Review
Review: Bought it for my wife as a birthday gift. She loves it. It is easy to use and small / light weight. It does not come with all the whistles and bells some cameras do. It's a point and shoot for casual situations. If you dont want all the tech gizmos and just want to take good quality snaps shot with an easy to use camera this is for you. If you are a tech geek and like to tweak with things this is not your camera. It's perfect for my wife who wants to it to fit in her purse and be easy to use but take good shots. Easy to upload to computer with the INCLUDED docking station with one button upload. Get a memory card as the internal just isnt enough if you take pics like my wife. Optical zoom would be nice, but i guess you cant get it all in something this small and easy to use. Video is cool too with this tiny camera.

Summary: Bought this ...Camera! Kodak LS 420
Review: I bought this camera 4 months ago. It is great. The pictures are crisp and the mpeg movie mode is pretty good too. The thing I love about this camera is that is small and you can put it in your pocket and not feel your lugging a camera around. I use it for family and work. No complaints at all..

Summary: A Great little camera
Review: I bought this camera as a Fathers Day present with the intention of taking photos at a family reunion.It is so compact ...takes great photos and best of all so easy to use. We are still learning some of the other qualities like the video option. My 80 year old Dad had the included Kodak software downloaded into his PC and was processing the pictures...including editing in a matter of minutes. One piece of advice...buy a media card to increase photo capacity and the ability to shoot at the best setting for the highest quality exposures. Oh, by the way...everyone loved their copies of the reunion pictures sent to them on the internet.

Summary: Love it!!
Review: I have had this camera for almost 3 years and I love it. The camera is so easy to use and all you have to do is push a button on the dock and your pictures are loaded into your computer. I have had so many compliments on it too, because it's so small and convenient. The only thing bad is when using the zoom option, the pictures come out a little blurred. Overall, it was a great purchase!

Summary: Great SMALL camera
Review: I just bought the camera yesterday from [a local store]. The quality of this little thing is amazing. It feels rock solid in your hand and the narrow rectangular design is very nice to the eyes. The little joy stick you use to control the menu options is very nice. The software that comes with the camera is very easy to use. Normally, the docking station doesn't come with the camera. In fact, most are an [$] option. This camera comes with the docking station and all you do is hit the botton on the docking cradle and then hit transfer and then its on the computer. I especially like the idea of the movie feature. I have a 128 mb card with the camera, which allows me to take a 25 minute video!! There is no other camera for [$] that allows you to do that. The sound doesn't always get picked up if there is a radio or many people talking in the distance. The menu is very easy to use. My friend just bought the Canon elph a for [$] more and he really likes mine. Although his is not a long rectangular, it is taller than mine. It comes with the cables to hook it up to your tv. I did this and you can use the tv as a screen to do all the deleting and sorting through the pictures. I watched the movies I made on the tv with full sound. A BEAUTIFUL camera and I am very satisfied with it.

Summary: Think of the limitations.
Review: This camera has considerable appeal for several reasons. It is compact, simple to use (both for taking pictures and for loading them onto your PC), appears well made and has the familiar Kodak name on it. However....it has some real limitations that you must be comfortable with before you buy it. Primarily, it is a *fixed focus* lens (not autofocus) with no optical (meaning real) zoom feature. It is then the modern day equivalent of the old Brownie Box Camera. Now granted, a lot of great pictures were taken with those cameras, but they, like the LS420, were extremely limited in what you could do with them. The appeal of this camera is its simplicity, but learning to slide a memory card out of any digicam and into an inexpensive card reader (that will almost install itself on your PC, especially if the PC is running Windows XP and the card reader is USB enabled) is not too difficult. In exchange for that, a digicam like the Canon Elph S200 can be had for roughly the same money and yet offer lots more features and therefore better utility.

Summary: Excellent value for money
Review: This has been an excellent purchase. While expensive at the time (euro 500), it has paid off multiple times due to its quality, flexible portability tx to size and pouch and ability to shoot video. Ideally, there would be no need to rely on finding a socket for the dock to download pictures onto computer and there would be no need to send it in for servicing twice ( and now, a third time) due to malfunctioning screen and slot of the extra-memory card. So long as I find no replacement ( why are cameras getting BIGGER these days?), I am happy to stick with it.

Summary: A very good buy
Review: This is a great camera. Easy to use, stylish, sleek, and on the low end of the price range for a 2 megapixel camera. The best thing about it is its tiny size and sleek shape. It easily fits in a jacket pocket, making it a great accessory for impromptu or casual situations. Another cool thing about it is the ability to shoot Quicktime movies, limited only by available memory space. I recommend purchasing external memory card with at least 32 MB of memory -- 64 MB if you want to make extensive use of movie feature. The only possible drawback is that there is no optical zoom, just a digital zoom of 3x. (Unlike optical zooms, digital zoom reduces image quality, by the amount you zoom. Zooming 3x gives you 1/3 of the original picture quality.) This isn't a problem for most people. Typical optical zooms on digital still cameras rarely exceed 5x, which isn't much anyway. As with any still camera, you can just move your body backwards or forwards for the best shot.
