I had a Kodak Easy Share 7300, which I loved, but the pieces on the battery compartment broke off and it wouldnt stay closed, so I had to buy a new one. I spent a few days researching cameras within my budget, and my mom had an HP and she liked it, so I decided to try it. I love it. Its so simple to use, the software is easy to install and easy to use once you try to transfer your pics from the camera to computer. I have not yet tried to print a pic, but everything else about the camera is wonderful.Its small and fits in your hand, the zoom is decent, the picture quality changes when you use max zoom, but the pics still come out pretty good. The only feature I dont like as much is that when you are looking through the LCD display, when you move the camera, its a little blurry and doesnt focus right away. Everything else is wonderful and I am very very happy with my camera!

I actual bought this for my 15 year old niece, got it for just over $100 @ circuit city. I gotta say so far I'm impressed, it take's great pictures, can zoom in before/after picture taking, and has audio/video capability's as well as web cam. Now I have a Canon Powershot A75, which I love, and has more ability's then this camera, but for the price and if your new to digital I would recommend.

I wanted a good valued digital camera for the summer that was good quality but affordable. This is what I found. My brother has an older version of it, that is 5mp. There are some changes, one being that this one automatically shuts off if you leave the camera open (which means leaving it on with this camera) whereas in the old one it ran down the batteries.

Disadvantages: -Digital zoom stinks. As Kim Commando has said, it's like fake zoom. If you want close up shots for concerts, sports, or other things, this is NOT the camera for you, you need one with optical zoom. If you zoom much with this thing you just get a blurry, grainy picture that looks like a photomosaic. -The software that you use to get the pics off of the camera onto the pc also did not impress me. It wasn't the easiest to use, and it wouldn't let me do some of the things I thought it should. -Whenever you turn it off, it resets all of the flash and camera settings. So if you want the flash off you have to keep turning it off. This can be annoying, but it hasn't made me want to stick the camera in a garbage disposal yet.

Other than that, it's good for shots of friends or family, or scenery that can be good from a distance. It has many flash options and shutter control options.

I suggest investing in the following two things also with this camera:

1. A 2 GB memory card, this way with Best Quality you can hold more than enough photos.

2. Rechargeable AA batteries. You can get these with the charger at Wal-mart for less than $15, and it will save a fortune on batteries. I got a 2-hour charger, so when my batteries run down, all I have to do is charge them for less than 2 hours. It is very convenient and pays off.

You may want to get a case too. The slidey front that makes it go on and off can be annoying. I have to stick it in my pocket a certain way.

Good for someone who wants an easy way to keep memories. I'm so glad I invested in this camera, and can keep pictures on cd, computer, or whatever easily, and easily get rid of the ones that I don't want.
