2.0 out of 5 stars cheap price, cheaply made, November 13, 2007

This camera came with terrific features for a great price. It took fine photos. Unfortunately, there was a problem deleting pictures in-camera (the cursor would scroll wildly on its own.) I emailed Kodak to return it as defective. The camera body itself is not metal. It is thin, flimsy plastic made to look like metal. The knob on the top used to choose photo styles is flimsy and would turn and change while inside my pocket. If you want an inexpensive camera that has great features and are willing to baby it so it doesn't get crushed or broken, this might be the camera for you. If you're as tough on cameras (or do extensive traveling, etc.) you may want to look for a sturdier camera. After returning the Kodak (sad, since this was my 4th Kodak camera and they have never let me down until now,) I bought a Pentax Optio M30 that has a metal body and sturdier controls for about the same price.

I bought this camera as a chrsitmas present for my sister. She wanted a small camera, with plenty enough of modes and easy to use. I have to say that I got the camera a couple of days ago, and I have expereminting with it. And I have to say that is a great camera for a beginner. The digital image stabilization is great for those who don't have a steady hand, and it comes with great picture taking modes, such as snowy day, baby mode, self picture close up, candle light, sunset, amog several others. I extensively experimented with some of these and the panorama mode, and I have to say that for a camera like this, the pictures came out great.
The panorama mode was really easy and the results were amazing.
I've experimented with low light in the ISo mode, and I really liked the compensation.
If you are a beginner and if you want a small, handy and fun camera for a great price, I think this is it!

I purchased this camera about a month ago & have been very happy w/ the quality of the pictures, and the camera in general. We use the camera quite often & the pics it takes both indoors and out have exceeded my expectations. It is easy to use. I have no hesitancy recommending this camera to others & was thinking of buying one for my mom for the holidays.
