This camera worked only briefly before freezing -- it would do nothing at all and would not even turn on, despite trying different batteries. Amazon exchanged it for the same model, at our request, and we had the same experience with that one as well. Please check out other online reviews for this camera before puchasing it. This has happened to other buyers. On a postive note, Amazon's customer service continues to impress.

We bought this camera for my wife to use,she doesn't like buttons and whistle's,this is a good pick for her,just the top lever to pick between still images and video,that's all she says she will use.It takes really good pictures on auto and the videos are not to bad either,just twist the lever to video mode and push the shutter button to start recording and push again to stop.She likes it and that's all that matters.Just be carefull when you first get the camera and install the batteries it is real easy to put them in backwards,the way the camera is marked fools you.Also the SD card slot is by the batteries makes it kind of difficult if you have clumsy fingers.Also just to point out that when you play the video back on the camera you will not hear the audio,their is no built in speaker so you will have to view it on your PC for the sound.

This is a great camera for the money! I am no photography expert, so all I needed was a simple camera that takes great pictures! Very easy to operate, has nice features, and comes from a well known photo company: Kodak. Highly recommend !!

This is my first Digital camera so I wanted something easy. My grandson recommeded this one for me. Now I can take pictures and videos and it is so much fun. Kodak has always been a leader in the field and I have not been disappointed.

This camera takes great pictures.My daughter was able to set up the camera in less than 5 minutes.It was very easy to use and I have had no problems so far.

I purchased the C713 refurbished as a gift for my father who is classically unfamiliar with electronic gadgets, but a lifelong though intermittent photographer. The on-screen descriptions of each mode make it easy for a digital camera novice to explore the functions and features available. It functions reliably and takes great pictures, though it is a bit slow to recover after taking a flash shot. During the lag, the most recent picture taken is displayed. This isn't a problem for someone learning the device, but could be aggravating for a more experienced user. The price was good, the camera's good; overall, we're very pleased with our purchase.

This is my 3rd kodak digital camera. The previous two I broke, the first just went everywhere with me (a million camping trips etc...) and it finally died. The second I dropped in walmart and shattered the screen. In any event this one has more mega pixels and a better zoom! It does however take a long time to snap back to back photos. There is a delay, probably a good 5 seconds. Aside from that it is great!

For a first camera I wanted something that was fairly simple and cheap. My chief interest is in exchanging pictures online with my family. Getting the Kodak brand was a definite plus in my book. Actually this camera has surpassed my expectations. It actually has more capabilities and in addition is easier to use than I expected. Like anything in the real world, there is a learning curve, but nothing deep, dark and intimidating.

... make sure you use the right setting. I took pictures indoors with the normal setting, and everything came out darker than I remember the room actually being. If you're indoors in average/fairly bright lighting, I suggest using the low-light setting.

Other than that, I'm quite pleased. The product performed as advertised. Easy to use, good pictures, 7mp (good for printing) ... I like it, and the price was right.

Just be more alert than I was.

The Kodak cmaera is a good camera, and I have been pleased with it for the most part. The high ISO setting worked well for pictures in low light, but the quality of the pictures was sadly poor. The HD picture quality was stunning, although the files are larger than I like (1 mb or so at 7 megapixels on JPEG). I have a 1 GB memory card that can hold 899 pictures at 7 megapixels. Overall, I have been pleased. I have made a few 8x10's with it, and am pleased with the quality. I take pictures in demanding settings, but I don't like to use an ISO higher than 100 because of poor quality. The focusing is fair, although it doesn't focus in low light. You can only change the ISO settings in "auto" and "macro" mode. I also frequently use the "night landscape" mode for taking pictures after sunset. Overall, I have been pleased, but there are better cameras out there. Try the Olympus FE-330 first.
