i really enjoyed this camera. it worked very well and i always got perfect pictures. the only problem was that the film got stuck in it and since it uses new advanced film, we couldn't just open it up and pull the film out. i am now planning on trying once more with the advanced film by purchasing the c700 zoom camera from kodak.

I thought this was a great camera. it took great pictures and it was incrediably simple while it lasted. the only thing is that the advanced film got stuck in the camera so i couldn't take anymore pictures so i am getting a new one

I have owned this camera for over a year and considering it is my first camera, it's pretty good. However, there are a few things that customers should be aware of. For instance, the C400 does not have a zoom feature, which makes it really hard to take far away pictures, because you have to get closer to the subject, which is not practical when you're taking pictures from an elevated surface. Even though this camera comes with a night flash the majority of my night and indoor pictures have come out underexposed. However, I do recommend this camera if you don't have to take pictures from elevated surfaces(no zoom to bring the picture closer to you), and/or in low light situations, the extra flash is not enough. This camera is also good for first time owners of a camera. Once you start taking pictures you can determine your needs a lot better and buy something else.

I'm definitely in the minority here.

I had a C400 which suddenly stopped working (shutter stopped working). Unfortunately, I didn't find out about it until I had wasted several rolls of film. Luckily, the snapshots I took were replaceable. Still I expected more from Kodak.

If the reviews here are any indication, you will have better luck than I did.

Coming from the perspective of someone who worked for one of Canada's largest photo retail chains, I strongly advise anyone agains buying Kodak Cameras, or at least be aware of thier reputations.

Our company stopped carrying Kodak cameras because of thier poor construction, common problems were with the battery doors, film doors, zoom, and the flip flash. The most common being the batter door latches breaking off. In one year we returned twice as many from our store as we sold. It was that bad.

Kodak makes awesome high end cameras, thier film and paper can be second to none as well, but thier cameras, leave that to the big three.

If you're looking for an easy, quick camera to use, this is the one. I have been using this model since it first came out, and I have found that I have gotten more usable shots- they're in focus, no red-eye, colors are never over or under-exposed. My friends + family are always commenting on the great quality, when they get their photos.

If you are looking for a camera that looks good feels good is small enough to carry around and the right price you have found it,it is of coarse the kodak C400,and that sums it up really !short and sweet!
