Summary: On/Off Switch Doesn't Work
Comment: I've been looking forward to experimenting with photography with this camera and received it for Christmas yesterday. After taking a few pictures, it shut off. The battery that it came with was bad, so I put new lithium batteries in it and it would only turn on if I put the dial on "sports mode". I took a couple of pictures before it shut off again. The on/off switch is odd. It stays in the "On" position regardless of whether it's on or not. When I move the switch, it turns on and immediately back off. I'll be taking it back. Does anyone have any recommendations for a higher pixel camera with high zoom?

Summary: love my new camera
Comment: I picked this camera because it was rated number 1 in Consumer Reports in its class, and it had all the features I wanted at the right price. It is easy to use and the first pictures I took were great. This is my first digital camera, and since I am not an expert have not used all the features it has yet. The software works very well and is easy to use. I am very happy, and would definitely recommend it.

Summary: there must be bad ones loose
Comment: Lots of good reviews here, Consumers Reports, too. However, either no one thinks this is important, or there are some really poorly focusing examples of this camera out in the wild. I got this Kodak 2 weeks ago, and noticed immediately that it seemed to have trouble focusing. It seems constantly to be working on it. An image almost is brought into focus, then it goes out, and stays there. My first and last adventure with this camera was a wedding. I took many available light photos, that were clearly viewable in the viewfinder. Roughly half of them were out of focus, or the focus was on a part of the image that wasn't in "the box". This camera replaced a 7 year old Olympus Camedia that died. The Camedia never had this problem with focus. Reviews discussing shutter lag indicate it is due to focusing taking place after the shutter is pressed. In that event, with the lag being described as under two-tenths of a second, it would seem that focusing should be very quick, very accurate. Not in the example camera I had. One other Amazon review mentions focus issues similar to mine. No one else. I've returned mine (to Target), and I'm afraid to get another. I'll keep looking.

Summary: Pleased so far
Comment: I'm still exploring the features of this camera, but so far I've had no trouble with it. I like the view screen and the zoom is much better than my last camera. I have not printed any pictures yet, so I'll need to reserve judgement on that.

Summary: Amazing pictures, Great price!
Comment: I have been using this camera for over a month now. I decided on this camera because of the high marks given it by Consumer Reports (top rated in digital cameras, non-SLR). I originally wanted to purchase an SLR, but this camera performed as well and better than the SLRs reviewed by Consumer Reports. The pictures are very clear and look like a professional took them. I don't know if I will be going back to a portrait studio again! The features on the camera are very easy to use. I recommend this camera to anyone looking to get shots of their busy children and those wishing to take high quality photos for framing.
