It doesn't get much easier than the aptly named Kodak EZ200. The shirt-pocket—size charcoal and silver camera, with 4MB of internal memory, shoots both VGA stills and up to 5 seconds of video (without sound). The shutter and power buttons are to the right of the control panel on top of the camera. When you use the single-mode button, the icon changes, and the camera conveniently beeps. Like its ancestors, the EZ200 makes a ko-dak sound when the shutter is pressed and an image captured (which is how the company got its name). The EZ200 is a bargain if you want a still camera and a Web camera in one device, but it's not our first choice for a standalone still camera.

The memory was always pretty limited, it doesn't have a screen, the resolution is very low, clips are silent and limited to 10 second, but with a bit of creativity you can make some pretty neat videos using this camera. The viewfinder on mine didn't line up with the photos taken very well!
It should be available for peanuts now, but be aware of the limitations and the incompatibility with later versions of windows. The drivers work ok on XP.

I ordered this digital camera from Amazon, and there was no photo available. So I purchased it based on comparisons with other cameras in the same price range. When I first received it, I thought, "What a dinky little camera! It looks like a toy." But I did not want to spend too much money on a digital camera that I don't know if I would use much. The first day, I started taking pictures in all kinds of light - in a room with a single light, in the closet with the single bulb, in the family room, and outside, and in public libraries. And when I transferred the pictures to my computer, I was amazed at the quality. All of the pictures came out with perfect lighting. Also, the camera is small enough to fit in my palm. It has self timer, and can also be used as a PC camera to video-chat. Best of all, because it is so ordinary looking, no one is going to steal it.
I was looking forward to using this camera, based on the reviews here, but I've actually been really disappointed. Kodak got the form-factors right -- it's easy (even fun!) to use and I liked the little sound effects. But the image quality is dismal, even for VGA resolution. We have an old VGA-resolution Kodak digital camera at work, and I was expecting at least that level of resolution. Instead, the edges of the photos were smeared and blurry, and there was very little usable detail in any of the test photos I took. True, the colors were bright and it handled exposure/light levels well. But what use is that when the photos resemble a Monet painting? I wanted an inexpensive camera that produced small photos that I could email to relatives (and avoid having to shrink down mega-pixel files). The quality of the pictures in this camera, however, is just way too low to be usable. It's going back to the store! It's a shame -- it's such a fun little machine! If it were ... cheaper, I might consider keeping. PS: It's not just this camera -- this is the second one I tried and they both had the same problem -- extreme distortion around the edges of the pictures. My photos look nowhere near as clear as the samples on ... website!
For its price the camera gives an opportunity to experience the fun of digital pictures and making your own little movies. The camera takes low quality pictures that look a little grainy even on the screen. It can also connect to your computer as a video camera allowing you to record your own digital videos or use NetMeeting video conferencing. It's a lot of fun, relatively cheap and probably a good way to get started. Make sure your computer has a USB port available.
This is a good little camera for the price, don't get me wrong. But the thing that bothers me about it is that you are always compensating to get the actual shot you are looking for. Even though the lens is right under the eye hole, it seems to take pictures right, left, up, or down of that point and so when you are trying to use the camera for life's little events, you can lose a lot of shots! The quality of the picture isn't that great either. Alright, but not great. Let's put it this way, when I wanted to take pictures of some jewelry I was listing on an auction site, I took better pictures with my scanner. Nothing flat, we are talking rings here, and that's just a bit sad to me.
Easy to set up and operate, this camera gives you what you pay for. It takes web and e-mail suitable pictures which are quickly and easily transferred via USB to your computer. The included software is well-designed and easy to manipulate. Negatives on this camera are: 1) No display to see your pictures. 2) No flash. 3) Fixed focus
well I got this camera a few days ago and ,I am really impressed with all the features of this little thing. I would say its downright perfect for pretty much everything other than professional print photos or something like that. I mean I bought it cause it was cheap , if I wanted soopa doopa picture quality I would have bought one of those 2000 dollar nikon jobs. you cant beat the price! picture quality is better than you would think too. Like all the other reviews say its great in low light, no flash needed. ok I'll stop rambling.
