I bought this camera when I need to update from an old HP digital camera. I have been doing store surveys on hurricane damaged stores, so I need a camera that was easy to use, easy to carry, and could take good detailed pictures. I decided on a kodak because I like to size of it and I had SD memory cards already. I like that it is so easy to use, if you need to take a picture that is a lower quality pictures so it is easier to email, it only take a few seconds to change it on the camera. The camera will easily fit in a shirt pocket. It takes quality pictures, and you do not have to be perfectly still, the pictures come out great. I use the camera with the screen cut off, so I can save the 2 AA batteries. I have taken over 100 pictures, reviewed them, and transfered them to my laptop on a single set of batteries.

Overall if you want a easy to use camera, that will not cost you an arm and a leg this is a great little camera to think about.

I must admit that this is a very simple to shoot and easy to share Digital Camera that lets you capture eye-catching images. With this camera, I have been able to get an effective MP CCD that generates high-resolution images for up to 20" x 30" prints. The 1.6" high-resolution display lets me view brilliant, sharp pictures with ease and clarity. One thing I like is that it includes the Kodak EasyShare software, which works seamlessly with the C310 and allows you to edit, organize, print or view a slide show from your computer. Another great feature is the on-camera share button which allows me to email my pictures to my friends or print them directly to share them with my family. Along with images, I can shoot continuous video at 20 fps at resolutions of up to 320x240 pixels. Compact and lightweight, the Kodak EasyShare C310 is an ideal way to share your life's special moments. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR FIRST TIME DIGITAL CAMERA USERS!!!

We just bought the Kodak CD 40 which appears to be the same as this one just different numbers for different stores. We got it from Wal-Mart for under $100. It is a great camera for kids to start out with. It is pretty much point and shoot, very few options. The biggest plus is the quick shutter time. To try it out I took pictures of my husband waving his hands - it came out clear. I even took a picture of my ceiling fan that was on and it came out as a blade with no blurriness. My last trial pic was an up close pic where I got within 8" of a slipper - once again it came out very clear. For the money you just can't beat the shutter speed and clear pics. We appreciate the lack of buttons/gadgets which will make this much easier for our daughter to use.

I ordered the KODAK Easyshare C310 as my first digital camera and I must admit, I'm very impressed with it. The quality of the pictures are very good, and what I enjoy most about the camera is that I can take a picture in pitch blackness and it comes out very clear! That's amazing! So whether day or night, I have beautiful memories to preserve! Highly recommended.

I recently bought this camera for my 9 year old daughter. I wanted a digital camera that she could take to Girl Scout camp. In the past we bought disposable film cameras but she found the flash on most too difficult and we ended up paying for dark murky pictures. She also missed a lot of good shots because she "didn't want to waste her film". I loaded this camera with an inexpensive 512MB SD card and she took over 200 shots. Most of them were pretty decent. Since they are digital I can easily crop them and print only the ones that we want. The flash on this camera worked flawlessly. Another great thing about sending a digital camera to camp was that we took some pictures of my wife and me and our pets and left them on the memory card. Our daughter was able to go back and look at them on the LCD when she got homesick! I also own a Kodak P850. It's a great camera with great features.

I only gave this 4 stars because what I need in a camera may not be what you need in a camera.
This baby is about as point and shoot as it gets. For those of us that grew up on 110 and 126 cameras, this is the camera you may be looking for. I was able to set up the printer without ever looking at the instructions, I had everything set up, and I had taken and printed a test photo within 20 minutes of opening the box, I will add that it was harder for me to open the box than hook up the printer, dock, and camera.
One of the main reasons I bought this setup is because I am into a lot of outdoor activities and I wanted a camera that could do a few things. The camera had to be semi durable with as few moving parts as possible this has that. I wanted a lens that did not stick out of the front of the camera at all so I can put the camera in a dry-bag and take pictures, this has that also.
One aside note of personal philosophy on digital pictures and why they come out dark. Maybe we have forgotten this, but we all have taken lots of dark film photos over the years. Film is a bit forgiving because the person developing it can brighten a photo a bit for you (sort of the way you can with photo shop). The good thing about digital is that you know right then that the picture was bad, but with film by the time you get back the dark photos you forgot what they were of anyway. I recommend using a flash whenever you can and try to be less than 8' form what you are trying to photograph if it is dark.

This is the first digital camera I have owned and I can't believe how easy it is to use! I love it. It's a great camera for the amount of money I paid for it! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get a digital camera. The black/white and sepia options are also very cool. It makes you feel like you're a professional photographer! The pictures come out great and the software that comes with the camera makes it extremely easy to share your photos with friends and family.

This is my first Amazon.com reviews. Whenever I buy something for my family, I always go to amazon.com first before purchasing a product, the reviews ALWAYS help! Anyway, my sons are almost 7, 5 and almost 2. My 7 and 5 year old son kept talking about getting a digital camera all last year. Finally the long wait came at Christmas day. My husband did alot of research on cameras and all the kids camera reviews were poor, for they didn't last long and felt it wasn't worth the money to spend a cheap camera for them. We bought a different kind of camera through Amazon, but when we got the product, it was too cheap, the buttons were impossible to push and the battery life was 5 minutes! Immediately we returned that product. After doing research we were down to the Kodak C300 or C310. We didn't buy Kodak C310 through Amazon, there was an awesome sale at Best Buy for this camera for $119.00 and we got a free Kodak Camera Dock Series 3 set ($70 retail value!) for this purchase! It came with a camera dock, camera case, rechargeable battery and a tripod! This was the after Christmas sale 2005.

I HIGHLY recommend this camera for kids who are ready for the real thing, after all younger children(ages 5 and up) are getting into the technology alot sooner than I did when I was their age. This camera is very simple, easy to follow and they are experts at it already after a week of using it. The buttons are easy to follow (although, I think it helped that we already had a Kodak DX6490 camera, that they used from time to time) It prepared them to know how to use it. We just ordered a new Kodak 64mb SD through amazon so they can take more pictures and take it to Costco to get prints!

I am very pleased with this product and look forward to seeing what they take and how proud they are when they take these pictures! :) Happy New Year! Hope this helped you all out! (This is great for beginners too, not just for kids, Kodak has great cameras out there)

The software was very easy to install and learning to use the camera was a breeze. The picture quality is great and they print fast with the dock. The ink did run out quickly...
The editing software is easy to use on both ends...editing the pictures and opening them when sent via email.

Camera worked absolutly wonderful until the batteries that it came with ran out. Since then I have purchased various other AA brands with the same results. Rechargable, top of the line, kodak brand it doesn't matter. Camera shuts off after about 2 minutes of use each time. I then have to take out the batteries and reinsert to get another 2 minutes. The kodak brand was the only brand of batteries I could get to do even this. sorta of a ripoff because by the time I discovered this problem I had already thrown away the packaging and receipt, so return is not an option. After a bit of research I have also confirmed that this is a pretty common problem. This is the sort of camera that people with tight budgets are going to buy when they want something a little nicer. So I wanted to inform people that they may not get what they paid their hard earned money for. Think seriously and perhaps buy another brand. Good luck.
