3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Value, OK Quality, April 21, 2004

My Dad took picutres at my wedding with one of these cameras, and got back the digital photos with his prints. Both were of equal quality as far as that goes. The camera focuses well.

However, we found that even with its built in flash, the pictures that he took inside, during the wedding, were dim and relatively worthless. The exterior pictures were lit fine, but the "mood lighting" was dim, and the flash wasn't able to compensate for that.

*****Final Thoughts*****
The camera is a great one to grab on your way to the zoo or the ball game, but if you're going to your high-school graduation or with some friends to a dinner, you probably want to pass.

This is a brightly-lit-area camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Value, but beware of Processor Policies., August 29, 2006

I work at a professional photo lab, and I can attest to the quality of the film inside this camera. It produces results comparable to the Kodak PowerFlash -- that is, it performs superbly for outdoor and bright indoor shots, but it will tend to give grainy images in low-light situations.

The "Free CD" that you get with processing varies depending on who processes your film. As an example, at my lab, the customer only receives the free CD if he opts to have his order sent to Kodak for processing. Ask about your local photofinisher's policy on the free Kodak CD *before* you drop off your memories!

The Kodak PlusDigital camera comes loaded with Kodak 800-speed film.

If you need a camera that performs well in low-light situations, I recommend the Kodak HQ Max Versatility camera.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not digital, Kodak should be ashamed, July 2, 2006

Despite the name, and the assertions of some sales people, this is not a digital camera. It is a one-time-use film camera with an inflated price that gives you a "free" Kodak Picture CD when you have the film processed. The problem with this plan is that many film processors either don't know, or conveniently seem to forget, about the free Picture CD and they charge you their normal price for it. You already paid for it in the price of the camera. It only costs $2 to $3 to get a Picture CD when your film is processed, so get an inexpensive disposable camera and avoid the hassle of convincing the film processor that they owe you a free CD. The "Maximum Versatility" film used in this camera does not produce particularly good pictures (then again, I guess no disposable camera produces outstanding pictures), it just gives tolerable pictures under a wide range of conditions.

Since this is NOT a digital camera, Kodak should be ashamed of themselves for putting the word "digital" anywhere on the thing. I can see no purpose for it other than to deceive unwary buyers.
