Opinion: A lot of bang for the buck and quite easy to get quickly familiar with and to operate. About the only annoyance is Kodak's strange notion of listing "picture quality" settings as 2.0 MP, 1.8 MP. 1.0 MP, etc. (really rather useless information) as opposed to simply stating image sizes in pixels at the various settings. An online-friendly 640 x 480 pixel image option (something I think every camera ought to have) is unfortunately not among the presets, the smallest coming in at 816 x 616.
Opinion: Great value for money, very little shutter lag, great colour,
very easy to use, plastic but still feels quite robust,good lens, overall picture quality is very good for a 2MP camera.
Great for those who want a small point and shoot DC without breaking the bank balance.
Problems: none
Opinion: The reccommended battery for this is two high quality alkalines. I was told they would last for 54 pictures. They lasted for around 12! My daughter forgot to use the expensive batteries and they don't even last long enough for the start up!!
I have asked Kodak for my money back.
It has now taken a total of about 25 shots!!
Problems: The battteries only last for around 12 shots versus the 54 claimed.
The camera is not fit for purpose as I was advised by the salesperson and I am demanding a refund.
Opinion: I bought this camera for my daughter who has found it easy to use except (see below). The picture quality is excellent for the pixel rating and as long as you use rechargable NiMH batteries together with a spare set you are made.
Problems: The camera has a fiddly five way (up, down, right, left and OK) switch which started to malfunction after a few weeks. You could scroll down but not up (for up you get "OK") - which gets you into problems with some items that then become hard to escape from - eg setting picture quality - you can only go down, not up). We returned it to Kodak who returned it with exactly the same problem, my hope is that this is not a design fault - we will ask for a replacement and see if that performs better
