Opinion: It is what it is...simple, effective, inexpensive. I bought one for my eleven year old so he would quit messing with my Canon Elph. It does a wonderful job, and if he loses it, I won't be out too much money. Walmart has these really cheap...Model 4310...only difference is it is all black and a Walmart "exclusive".
Problems: None whatsoever. Use Nicads. Get a SD card. Have fun.
Opinion: This was my first digital camera. I will be upgrading to an Olympus Stylus 300 due to the difficulty I had with the Kodak design. The lens cap, which is attached by a string, is awkward and does not stay put. This camera is, however, very light, quite small, and very easy to use for beginners. Reviewing and deleting pictures is quick and easy, as is changing picture modes, flash settings. Picture quality is good for a camera is this category. Good flash. This is a great camera for the digital photographer who is just starting out.
Problems: poor up close picture quality
poor design (i.e. lens cap)
poor zoom (only 2x digital zoom)
long shutter delay
false "garbage" indicator (i.e. "garbage indicator" pops up very frequently, although picture is good)
Opinion: When I first got this camera it worked good, was VERY easy to use, replaced my old Kodak APS with ease. Liked that it only ran on two AA batteries which were always available if it ever died while I was out and about.
Problems: The camera started having issues slowing the shutter speed down so no matter what I did the pictures would always end up with a slight blur to them (I hardly ever use a tripod as most of my opertunities don't allow them) So after I sent it out for service three or four times my retail store finally replaced it permenently with a Pentax Optio 450 which I am VERY VERY happy with. The only good experience I've had with it going in for service a few months at a time was the pleasure of trying out a variety of different cameras. If you have kids and need an inexpensive camera that doesn't have to take the best pictures and is easy to use then this is the camera. If you want to take serious pictures that are higher quality, I would suggest finding another camera.
Opinion: Don't waste money on this camera. I understand this is a budget minded camera, but far better values can be had in a point and shoot camera. I was so pleased with the Kodak DC210 I previously owned, I did not hesitate to buy another Kodak... big mistake. Only thing good I can say for this camera was the ease of use and a fairly nice picture quality. After buying a Canon several months ago I would have to think real hard about buying another Kodak.
Problems: Cheaply constructed. Power switch failed after a year with only very light use. Shutter delay and next shot delay is terrible, worst I have ever seen. My 7 yr old DC210 is faster than this piece of junk. Battery hog, good thing it only needs 2 AA. Lens cap doesn't stay on.
