Summary: Bad Flash
Comment: After a little over a year of use (warrenty expired) the flash no longer works. Kodak customer service indicates repair will be approximately $150. This camera seems to be little more than a very nice "disposable" product.
Customer Rating:
Summary: not good product, not good warranty
Comment: The flash suddenly stopped firing and, although the camera is still under warranty, the fees associated with redeeming the warranty can be astronomical. Kodak can find the warranty null and void for any reason, then charge you for the return of your camera. We added up potential costs of turning the camera in for warranty work, and it would be more than a new camera. We're going to give it to the kids to play with and purchase another brand camera for ourselves. I thought Kodaks were supposed to be top quality, but this experience has proven differently. It has been a terrible disappointment.

Summary: Bad quality, worse Kodak Service!
Comment: There must be an on-board timer for this camera to break down. Just like the other user that gave a single star, the flash stopped working on the camera about 1 year and 1 month after buying it. Get this- Kodak was willing to give me 15% off another camera at retail price- only if I gave them the broken camera back. So I can get yet another Kodak? Don't think so!
The flash stopped working within weeks of the 1 year warranty, so I called in to see if they were willing to keep a customer. (I even called back during overseas time to talk to a manager who the agent said could be much more helpful given the timing of the breakdown) Nothing was done but a repair bill close to the cost of a new camera, or 15% off on a trade in.
Although these are probably $40.00 to make, and King Kodak can care less, I would STRONGLY recommend an extended service package if you want 2 summers out of the gadget. I am of the opinion that an 8 MP camera would and should last me a few years, as I am not the tech driven person who needs to replace phones, cameras, and computers every 12 months because something else was released to the market.
Hope this helps!

Summary: would not recommend
Comment: I bought this camera in July of 2007 and practically from day one I was looking for another camera. The majority of my shots were blurry (granted I was taking pix of my kids but still) and low light pictures were HORRIBLE, and forget using the zoom the pictures turned out blurry and out of focus over half the time. I constantly was having to "touch up" my photos- I got sick of it and replaced it by Christmas. I used to be a huge Kodak fan until I got this camera. Trust me, there are many, many better ones out there- keep looking! Hope this helps!

Summary: First Digital Camera
Comment: I purchased this camera back 2 years ago in 2006 and it still works great. It's starting to die though, but it has lasted through some hard falls. It is a great first digital camera and I am very pleased with my camera. Soon I will have to buy a new one because mine is about to die out on me.
Pros-
Brand Name
Structure/Weight
Video Quality for a Digital camera
Good Picture Quality in Daylight
Sturdy
Easy Transfer to Computer
Great Kodak Photo Editor
Cons-
Flash too bright, makes skin pale
Horrible Picture Quality outside at night
Hear Motor during Video Recording
Now about the flash too bright and makes the skin pale. With the photo editor you will get along with the purchase of this camera, you can edit the photo and make it look nicer with a skin touch. The transfer to the Computer is very simple, even video for Windows Movie Maker and my Adobe. Now I have purchased a video camcorder so I won't be needing the video anymore n this camera. The weight is just right; not too light to wear you can drop it out of your hands easily and not too heavy enough to keep in your shorts pockets without making your shorts fall down. The picture quality of the picture is great during the daytime outside and inside, but at night the photo is extremely dark and the flash doesn't do its job. Inside at nighttime will make the photo grainy and you will have to edit it a little bit.
But, overall this is a great camera and I would recommend it to anyone, especially a first time user at a digital camera. The operations are easy to use and you'll have fun with experimenting with the editing.
