Customer Reviews

Great still camera with video mode at great price.
I originally bought this camera at Walmart for about $230, then I came home and saw it was $180 at amazon; so I returned it to Walmart and started over at amazon.

I am so happy with this purchase. I have a really high-end, although now outdated, Olympus, and I have been a loyal Olympus customer for years, but as I looked to upgrade to a higher MP camera, I realized that I could not justify staying in the same price range as my previous cameras.

And I don't regret the decision for a second. I have had this camera for about a month, and it has come in handy (it is also much smaller than my previous cameras) on many occasions. I recently was able to make a great video of my friend's daughter going for her first colored belt in Tae Kwon Do. The camera worked great for video in this type of circumstance (once I learned to keep my hand away from the microphone.) I honestly can't imagine having much reason to use the video camera that I paid hundreds for a couple of years ago again.

Still picture quality is obviously great with 10MP and stabilization.

One of the best on the market
I am a total caveman when it comes to things digital. I have had digital cameras before but always felt reluctant to use them as they were too complicated, batteries ran out, the viewing screen was too small, and you had to wait a long time between shots. Well, I am here to tell you to buy this machine. It is great: simple to use; rechargable batteries, large viewing screen; very short wait between shots; AND it connects right up to the Kodak Easy Share printer (or you can remove the SD media and stick that into the printer) and makes exceptional quality photos. For $200 you can't beat this camera.

Not Thrilled
I spent 2 years looking and waiting for the right camera to come around. I tried another Kodak easyshare as I like the EASY-ness of them. I was not happy with that one, so went to the V1003. I bought it at circuit city BIG mistake (they have a 14 day return) It is not possible to make sure ALL the features on the camera work in 14 days. And with this camera, they do not work. The video is VERY noisy! The camera keeps adjusting (why I don't know) and the internal noise causes noise in the audio of the video. Also with 10MP you'd expect perfection of colors etc. Not the case. There is a strange blue glow off of white objects in certain shots. The settings for beach etc for adjust to bright light changes the colors also. I took a picture of a pond covered in lily pads and the sun was at an angle that was too bright. I used the beach settings and a few others for bright light and the colors of the pond changed. The pond appears bright blue in some areas.....believe me this pond is NOT blue. Trying to take sun pictures with the "filters" causes a weird flower pattern...like a daisy. My previous camera was a simple Kodak Easyshare 3.1 and it took better pictures, and better video (no noise!).
The buttons on the camera are inset a bit and very small. I have small hands and it still is difficult to press the buttons. I usually have to press on several times to get it to come on. As far as speed, there is too much time between pressing the shutter button and waiting for the green light to actually take the picture. If you expect to get a shot of something that happens quickly and you need your camera to respond quickly...you'll miss your shot. If this camera comes down in price significantly, it might be an ok buy... As you will see by my edit, this is another thing you have to do BEFORE you can do something else with the camera. There are too many steps and too many ways to miss what you want to capture.

EDIT and UPDATE: to solve the problem with the noise in video if anyone has this issue, I found the following:

When the camera is in the video mode. You can change the AF Control setting to Single Auto Focus mode, Please folow these steps:
1. Turn the camera on.
2. Set your camera to video mode.
3. Press menu button.
4. Move the Joystick up/down to highlight AF Control then press the OK button.
5. Choose Single AF, then press the OK button.
6. Press the Menu button to exit.
