Customer Reviews

Exellent camera at an affordable price
I was hoping to buy a Kodak easyshare camera, but the store didn't have what I was looking for, so I figured I'd "settle" for this camera. However, when I started using it, I realized I hadn't "settled" at all! The camera takes extremely clear pictures, and it has all the features an expensive camera would, like face detection and anti-shake. If you are one of those people (like me) who are searching for a camera and frantically reading customer's reviews, take my advice: you will not be disappointed with this camera.

exelent cam
Hello, I just recently bouht this camera, and I have take excelent pictures, I definitely recoment this one, the zoom is great, as a personal recomndation try to use this one w/4GB SD

Not great quality, very fragile
I ordered this camera from Amazon and have had it for less than one year. At the beginning, the camera worked just fine. Over time, I noticed a few problems.

The quality of the photos are definitely not the best, even after modifying the settings. A lot of pictures get washed out by the flash, and when the flash is not on the pictures turn out grainy. In addition, I find it impossible to take a picture of anything small or any focused images. The picture turns out too blurry to make out what the object is. Wider shots in natural light seem to turn out the best.

Another fault of the camera is that it's very fragile, even for light use. The camera started to break down only after a few months after I started using it. While in view mode, the buttons on the camera began sticking and the interface would freeze up. Restarting the camera fixes the problem if I hit the power button repeatedly. Then about a month ago, the memory card slot broke. The card will not stay inside without being ejected. I have to tape it down so that it won't pop out.

Overall, the camera was okay for the price I had paid for it. However, I regret this purchase because it started breaking down far too quickly. I've never purchased a camera that broke down less than one year after purchase. I highly suggest passing this over and going for a higher quality camera. The investment will pay itself off as opposed to purchasing this one.
