When I read the the other reviews it sounds like they're talking about another camera!

This camera is great.

I haven't had any of the exposure problems that the others talk about.

It takes great pics and great video. I hardly use my digital cam corder anymore because I usually have this camera in my pocket with a 1 Gig Memory Card, ready to go.

All video captures are not made equal. This camera has no limit on the video length, like most do.

Also, go to the Kodak site and compare the Video Size and Frames Per Second (fps) with other cameras and you'll see they don't compare.

For the price, I think you'd have a hard time finding a 5 MP camera as good as this one.

I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about. I bought this from Costco and it is awesome, I love it! There are so many modes to take pictures in!

It works pretty well under low light conditions, and the viewfinder is bright and easy to see. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. I just bought it for snapshots, but you could really get some wonderful shots with this camera! Much more than I expected. It's really small and compact. Mine came with a camera dock which is pretty cool to use. It also came with rechargeable battery so I am set! I love my new camera and will post some pics I took soon!

Kodak C360- ($129+)This camera is very easy to use because it has automatic popup text messages that tells you what each setting is, the battery life is good (you should buy rechargeable batteries and 1GB of memory), and the picture quality is good even under low light conditions. (Night/close-ups - You need to try different settings so your images do not look grainy or dark.) The unlimited movie play/record mode (depending on your memory card) is awesome. The playback is loud and clear. Other cameras did not do as well. And I really like the flashing green light when the camera is turned on/off - just like a cell phone.

This camera has all I expect...and more, great zoom, excellent resolution. And very easy to use no matter how your level of knowledge is in photography. The only thing I recommend to have in mind is the cost of batteries. Is better to buy rechargeable bateries (Niquel Metal).

I received this camera/printer dock setup as a Christmas gift. I am always randomly taking pictures, and end up paying to develop film with pictures that either don't turn out well, or I didn't really want... So finally, I own a digital camera.
Although this is my first experience with any digital camera, I have to say that I have had ZERO problems with it. All the pictures look great; I love the autofocus feature (beware that when this is activated, it does drain battery power); the printer dock prints beautiful pictures - just like having film professionally developed (this is a huge plus for me as well). I like that this runs independently from the computer - I haven't even hooked it up to my computer yet because I haven't needed/wanted to share pictures. I like the small size, portability, ease of use for the camera and printer, the quality of prints, the quality of the stills and video, and the variety of preferences/options for use.
This would be a great camera for people who aren't highly computer literate, who don't require expensive high tech gear for professional photography, and who want good quality pictures without much hassle.

User interface is very easy, picture quality excellent, coloration very sharp, especially in the yellows which many cameras have trouble capturing the true brightness of a yellow.

However, I'm a dad. Which means my shots are of my four year old sweetie at graduation, my seven year old sweetie in a class play, and dozens of indoor functions and simchas. Indoors, the pictures are flat out dark and worthless from more than six feet away even with forced flash. The best I could do was to set the exposure (see the setting in the menu that says "O/O")and set it to the highest number - 2.0. That gave me a bit more light, but it changed back to the default exposure each time I switched to video mode or shut down to conserve power. I wish there was some way to resolve this problem as I watch all the other dads wielding cameras that don't take as sharp or as fast pictures, but have bright screens even as they preview the shot before taking it, indoors without the flash. Did I buy this only to be an outdoor camera? I can't play that game. So while it is otherwise a great camera, and can take a drop to the floor to boot like most Kodaks can and most others can't, it is utterly useless to me for most of the functions I need it for. If you are a Kodak guy reading this and there is a simple answer, please post it here. Many others have had the same complaint.

Although not quite an amateur photographer, I have always loved taking pictures. As digital technology became more popular, I clung to my film camera, a Kodak APS that I loved. I received a cheap, no-name digital camera as a gift, and I thought that would be sufficient to handle any digital needs I might have. Boy, was I wrong!

Things changed for me when my husband bought me the Kodak EasyShare C360 and Printer Dock last Christmas. Although I still feel a bit guilty to admit this, I love my EasyShare digital camera more than any film camera I've ever owned! It is extremely easy to use and yet has a great variety of options. For basic picture-taking, there is an auto feature; simply turn the dial to it and go. However, you can also chose from several other alternatives, including action, close-up, portrait, and landscape. In addition, the camera has a separate series of "scene" settings which allow you to customize your picture-taking even further--these scenes include children, beach, snow, even fireworks! I especially like using the indoor party setting, which eliminates the poorly lit, poorly exposed indoor shots that you get with other cameras, and the self-portrait, which makes for some fun shots. Oh, did I mention that this camera makes movies, too? The video and sound quality is excellent.

Now on to the printer dock. The best thing about this feature is that when you are not using the camera, you simply set it back down on the printer dock to recharge. This works perfectly for recharging the camera after relatively short (e.g., a day or two) usage periods, but for longer trips, I purchased an inexpensive battery recharger. So far, the only time I had to swap out the batteries was when I was away for a long weekend and took several hundred pictures at my sister's wedding (and even then, the camera didn't start to lose its charge until the very end of the weekend). The printer dock also provides an easy way to transfer the pictures from the camera to your computer, although you can print pictures directly from the camera. I haven't used the actual print features of the printer dock very often, but when I have, I've been impressed with the high quality photos produced.

The camera itself provides wonderfully clear, sharp images, whether you are just viewing them on your computer, printing from the printer dock, or printing elsewhere (e.g., the Kodak Gallery online, which is what I usually do). The camera also offers many additional features that I don't use, such as being able to tag pictures to share. I do use the excellent zoom, the timer function, and the burst photo option (lets you take a rapid series of pictures). The 32 MB of memory is sufficient for casual use, but since memory cards are readily available and relatively inexpensive, I upgraded to a 1 GB memory card, which allows me almost 800 photos. The one minor complaint I have about this camera is the accompanying EasyShare software. Although it is convenient--especially with the ease of uploading your pictures to the online Kodak Gallery--I think it could have been much more user-friendly.

Overall, however, I am thrilled with this camera and printer dock combination, and I would highly recommend it to other casual photo enthusiasts like myself!

I bought the EasyShare c360 about a month ago. So far, I'm very pleased with it. This camera has many features and takes beautiful pictures. It has all the essentials in a good camera: enough resolution, excellent picture quality, small size and good video. It is small enough to fit in a pocket, but still controls are very comfortable. Plus, it is very easy to use and the price is reasonable. Highly recommended.

This camera is so user friendly that even a child can figure out how to use it. There are MANY features on this camera and 90% of them are simple to use. Very well researched when designing this product. Big 2 inch screen is easy to navigate thru all the different settings. Very affordable compared to other cameras in its class. I HIGHLY recommend this camera for beginners as well as the more experienced photographer.

I bought this camera 5 years ago, my first digital so it was a setp up for me. It does not handle dark or indoor shooting. Video quality is quite poor, considering what's out there now. I have to say it served well in my traveling and it's good in capturing scenes during bright sunlight. By the way, if shooting indoor, use flash (day or night). I'm surprised to see the price of this camera went up since I bought it. There are many more powerful cameras out there for less money.
