Opinion: I was looking for a good and reasonably quick "point and shoot" camera and this one defenitly defines that status. You can easily pick it out of your pocket ,choose the right "preset" mode on the dial and shoot right off there and the pictures becomes stunningly great from use like that. If anything the picture quality in macro is not as edge sharp as i would like it to be but this camera is the one for you who wants just what i stated first here !

Best value for the money without a doubt for a 4Mpix camera with auto functions you can rely GOOD on for point and shoot photography !

In fast shutter mode (called sports) i caught my cockatiel flying at full speed and the wings were point sharp even though he flew really really fast ! Pic got great !

Feels really solid. You really need to bang it to break it i think.

Opinion: The camera is easy to use and quite well made. It gives good results when shooting subjects which are not far away . The lens seems to be good at wide angle but average at tele position. I am however very desapointed by the results obtained when I take a pictures of a landscape . Most of the details are lost at the back. Obviously the compression and/ or the noise correction system is making a bad job. It is even worse when the camera is set to 200 or 400 Iso .
In comparaison an older Nikon coolpix 3100 gives much more acceptable pictures without all the artefacts observed with this Kodak 4mega pixels. I do not like this camera . I would certainly not buy one again

Opinion: this is my second dig camera in 7 yrs. i paid less for this then my old one and my old one does not have half the features this new one has so far i love it and its self expantory u dont even have to read the book but u should for other things u dont know about which i am finding out. i have been playin with this camera every day and using the cam coreder having a blast.
