This camera has served me well since January 2003 when I first bought it. Since then I have taken over 7,000 pictures and I am so glad it's still going. I plan on getting a new camera, but only because technology is improving so rapidly. This camera has been wonderful and survived many drops, hits, stratches and throws. Kodak is a great company and helped me whenever I needed it, including sending new battery doors to replace the ones I've broken when dropping the camera 4+ feet. Great model, great company, great memories. Thank you.

this camera's lack of any battery life at all makes this camera absolutely useless. with the rechargable batteries that it comes with, as soon as you insert them fully charged, it indicates half battery life and the camera lasts no more than maybe 4 pictures. i've replaced the batteries with new kodak rechargable ones, but the same thing happens. what's the point of a camera if it is impossible to hold enough energy to use through a single session?i see that many other consumers are complaining about this as well (even the consumers giving the camera four stars!)absolutely DO NOT BUY this camera because you'll be finding yourself bringing bulk packs of batteries to your next family gathering.

I knew nothing about digital cameras before I bought this. I really just wanted something to take quickie pictures that I can use online. This is perfect for that. It's simple, easy to use, and the pictures turn out well for the price you pay. I am extremely satisfied. This camera is not for the serious photographer. You'll need a mre expensive, flashier model for that. But but if you are looking to make good pics for web pages and e-mails quickly, I don't think you can do any better than this.

Great camera for the price. All the advice I heard was "don't go below 3mp." My budget was small, so I decided to take the risk anyway. The resolution on the camera viewing screen isn't all that great, but I have printed off a lot of pictures, all sizes and they have turned out wonderful! Great camera for the casual picture taker.

Even with the little screen on the back of this camera you can't tell that a picture you've taken is blury. Not to mention it is particularly confusing having a switch on the side to determine whether its in focus for close ups or distance photos. The low megapixels make it impossible to enlarge anything you've cropped to any extent. Finally and probably the worst problem has to do with light. If you are unfortunate enough to have to use the flash, it only lights up the center of the picture often washing out the middle and leaving a circle of darkness around the edge. I was almost broken hearted when I realized there was nothing I could do about this. I imagine that for as much as the gift giver paid...it was probably still too much.

I received the camera today, and the size of it just amazed me. It is very small (even though this oculd be tricky, because you could lose it or break it in an easier way). The quality of the pictures seems OK on the LCD. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to download them from the cam, because the cable seems to be the wrong size. I'll probably solve this problem, but the first impression wasn't the best, and that's why I took a star out of my review. With all the features the cam has, it was really a bargain.
