I really like this Camera. Since I missed an opportunity to purchase this camera for less than 70 bucks, I jumped on this deal for less than 90. My old easyshare powered on by turning the knob at the top, which would occurr accidentally if I put it in my pocket or bag which ran the battery down consistently. This has a button that does not press easily when packed with other items. I like playing with the panorama function and the pictures have great clarity and detail. I have not used the hi def movie option on this yet, but since I just purchase a HD tv, this will get used often and always. Getting rechargeable batteries was a no brainier; Digital cameras take a lot of juice. Startup time could be faster, but is sufficient for my uses. Kodak makes good products.

Bought this camera as a gift item for an older couple, but, got to use it for 3 weeks. Overall a decent small camera for the price (Paid $89). Decent picture quality. The camera uses 2*AA batteries. Initially I got really frustrated with battery life and was about to return the camera. Replacement batteries would last only few clicks. Please do yourself a favor and get a good rechargeable AA batteries for digital camera. If you must buy regular alkaline battery, buy the appropriate AA battery for digi camera, which I didn't know. I am always used to buying rechargeable battery packs, just plug in and recharge!!! I didn;t get to use HD video much, but, quality looked pretty decent. Had to download special CODEC on my computer to get the voice with video. Wish it used the standard USB cable used by other digital cameras I own (Canon, Sony).

Amazing for the price, but keep in mind that the HD video will not work perfectly. I spent an additional $25 to get the Kodak brand high-speed SD card designed to allow for proper HD video recording to flash, but it is still jumpy. The stills are great though, and more than justify the expenditure.

I basically got this camera for its video features alone, and it has not disappointed. The 720p video the camera captures is far better than the video quality of my Canon Elura 100 miniDV camera (which costs 3x as much). My only gripe is that the video is in Quicktime format. As a Vista user, if I want to edit the video, I first have to convert it. It's a pain. WMV HD recording capability would have been amazing. The still-image quality is pretty good, but it's the video capabilities that make this camera a must-have.

I'm a big believer in Kodak brand cameras having owned 3 other point and shoots I was due for another new one. Previous to purchasing this camera I bought 2 other kodaks that were decent but not quite what I was looking for in a point and shoot style camera. When I saw this camera in the store and tested out the features were exactly what I was looking for. Being able to shoot pictures in manual mode is amazing and the video quality is awesome! I just recently took this camera to a concert and got some great shots and videos. Its well worth the purchase!!

A 12MP Camera For 30% Less Than Any Other Brand. Small And Usable Desent Camera Except For Battery Use Which Is Terrible. I Would Purchase Again For The Price.

I love it, great picture quality and easy to use. I have not had a chance to learn everything about it yet, but I'm very much a novice and most of my picture taking is of my grandkids. But this is the best deal I have found on a camera with this many megapixels. You will love it too!!
