Customer Reviews

I love and hate this camera
It's a wide angle camera that you can fit in your pocket--so it's great that way. The in-camera stitch is nice, and battery life is very impressive. But there's some real annoyances too. My beefs with this camera:

* No control over image compression: Kodak has one setting and in my opinion it's far too highly compressed. Forget about being able to take a standard shot and focus in on some interesting detail. They're all lost in compression artifacts. Come on, Kodak: how hard is it to have a RAW mode? And why have a 7MP camera when the file sizes are the same as the 5MP?

* Low light performance is, to put it bluntly, crap. You'll need a tripod, which sort of defeats the purpose of having a camera you can fit in your pocket.

* The flash is harsh.

* The processor is far too slow for any kind of sequence shots.

* Even though the camera has a text mode, it's not very useful. Keep this in mind: if you want to shoot a sign or a map with small print--which I often do on my job--you will find this a very, very tricky process to get right. You have to have good lighting to pull it off, and this is where a RAW mode would really help.

For the money, if you want to do wide-angle outdoor shots with a camera you can fit in your pocket, you could be really happy with this unit. I've certainly received a lot of compliments on the quality of some of the photos I've taken with this (see therealkezekiel on flickr), but they're all on outdoor shots in decent to good light.

Some good, some bad
This camera has a lot of really nice features, especially the panoramic "stitching." I wish they had paid more attention to picture quality in low light. I cannot find settings that don't make some photos look dark and speckled.

satisfying item
As you know, kodak has stopped producing this wonderful stuff with dual-lens.
Satisfied so much, now I'm looking forward to meeting another awesome product.
