I have had this camera a
few days and like most guys with a new toy really gave it a workout. I
took pics in all kinds of environments, all kinds of light conditions and
I am AMAZED by the quality. Using the night portrait mode I took pictures
of my Mother-in-law's outdoor garden with no ambient light beyond the
moon. The pictures came out stunning, so much so that a friend of mine is
using it as a background on his computer.
Other shots I took indoor and out were just as crisp, just as easy. One of
my biggest problems is that I have what is called familial shaking, I
simply can't keep a camera perfectly still. I can't tell you how many
shots were ruined with my regular camera because of that. The Kodak seems
to compensate just fine. More importantly, I get to see the pic
immediately and if I have a problem, I delete it and shoot again.
The Easyshare does for Digital what the Instamatic did for film cameras.
Puts a powerful, easy to use camera so simple that anybody can take good
pictures from day 1. Now with 6.1 MP, the EasyShare is a bigger bargain
than ever.

Worth the price!, May 19, 2004

** Update - I just received my first 20x30 picture from Ophoto - It is
very impressive. I took the picture hand held at 1/30 second, wide open
aperture. Only slight abberation on the edges and, even at 1/30, the
picture was sharp and colors true. I'm now trying pictures with a tripod
to minimize any movement.

I just received this Kodak camera and took some day and night pictures. I
have no problem with the resolution - the prints are more than sharp. In
cloudy situations where shade is caused by green trees, I get a magenta
color in shadows. This does not always happen, snd I am still trying out
different situations. The auto-focus is great, time between pictures is
very quick (< 1.5 seconds) and the camera is light with most controls
placed well. However, the dial for choosing the mode (Auto, Aperture or
Shutter priority, etc.) gets a little difficult to turn at times. It could
be improved.
The included instruction book is OK, but I found it lacking in some of the
features for the camera. For instance, to change the aperture or shutter
in aperture or shutter priorty mode, you need to press the wheel in, then
turn to adjust the aperture or shutter. I did not see that in the manual
(if it's there, it isn't apparent).
If you're looking for a more than adequate digital camera that can supply
sharp enlargements ( up to 16x20 or greater ) then this is the one to buy.
The lens is excellent. I especially like the ability to set the camera
manually. Night time pictures were excellent. A great way to explore the
world of digital photography.

www.picture.com and this camera IS THE BEST camera i have ever laid my
hands on, its simple, clever, good looking and isnt Cheaply cased and
Doesn't break easily at all, the lock breaking theory has been put dwn to
lousy handling, i have had mine 2 years and my lock has been perfect an i
charge it twice a week, ANYWAYS back to the camera, the pictures are
absoloutly AMAZING and Stunning honestly they knocked me off my seat and i
have won 16 competitions and have 14 silver an 2 bronze amatuer
photographer medals and im 14, i never won a single one until i used this
camera, the ease of use was soo great it was like a duck to water as soon
as i picked it up i jst cud not stop cliking and my cat was blinded, For
the price of this i would expect a lousy 4mp camera but this was
cheap,great and absoloutly amazing, IF ANY1 WANTS A GREAT COLOUR,QUALITY,
6.1MP CAMERA THIS IS THE ONE TO GET, I USED TO HAVE A NIKON 8.0MP CAMERA
BUT THIS ONE BEATS IT HANDS DOWN, Whether ur a pro, expert or a begginer
this will always take your breath away

BROKEN BATTERY LATCH!!!!!-KODAK FIX IT OR STOP MAKING THIS CAMERA!!!,
January 16, 2006
Reviewer: Simon "Kavalier&Clay"
My very first digital camera purchase came in December 2004. Everything
about this camera just spelled quality, like the reviews online, our
friends who had other Kodak cameras, Kodak's long history; That is until
the battery died. It comes with a lithium ion rechargeable battery. I
guess it's important to have a rechargeable one because digital cameras
require alot of energy.
The lithium battery that I had with my camera lasted about 2 weeks plus.
You could probably consider this a high mark.
The problem with it is that the battery latch or lock breaks. In my
experiance, it broke the second time on the first camera, and then the
first time on the 2nd and 3rd cameras.
Yes, you heard me. I returned this 3 times. Let me REPEAT,
I've returned this camera 3 times to the retailer(Sears) and the latch has
broken EVERYTIME!!!!! The people who bought this and didn't experiance
this problem, I would love to see their camera. Maybe Sears only stock the
lowest quality. I DON'T TRUST KODAK at the moment and I DON'T TRUST Sears.
When I first decided to buy this camera, the reviews I read suggested the
camera was easy to use and the picture quality was good. True on both
cases. Unfortunately, it has a CHEAP PLASTIC quality to it. The actual
casing is poor. This camera is not durable and breaks easily. Sears was
good about accepting returns except the 3rd time. The clerk was RUDE!
After a little screaming and yelling he took it back. I can't say that I'm
going to buy again a Kodak or Sears item anytime soon.
