Love this camera!

| I received this camera for Christmas 2006. So far, I have used it numerous times and in many various situations. I wouldn't say that it is the best quality out there, but for people on a budget and without spending tons of money on something, the quality is great. i have used it with and without the printer dock. The printer dock takes a while to print a picture but other than that the dock is fairly easy to use and it "finds" your camera once it's loaded and with the press of a few buttons you can choose what size pic you want to print and how many copies. It's pretty user friendly overall. I agree with some of the other reviewers in that, the manuals aren't great to understand. it takes some reading and time to figure them out. As for the camera itself, I really have enjoyed using it. I have taken it on many trips, including Disney World, and New England in the fall. In the fall, I captured many fantastic pics and while driving in a car, the quality of the photo was pretty decent considering we were driving 70mph and with a glare on the window. I like the different settings there are depending upon night, movement, snow, beach, etc. Those really do make the pic better. My biggest complaint is it didn't capture the magnificence of the fall foliage colors as they are in person. I had to tweak my photos with my computer to make them brighter and with more contrast to bring out the color. The camera is real user friendly with the menu buttons and video portion especially for older parents (like mine) not from a technological era like myself. They find easy to use. It doesn't capture night photos that well even on the night feature. I have had to take some pics over and over again to capture just one thing. It also takes a lot longer for a night photo to flash, and you have to hold the camera real steady the whole time in order for the pic not to come out blurry. Other than that, I have been really happy with my Kodak camera and it's a great camera for those just starting in digital photography, those who aren't real technologically savvy, or those kids who want a camera without all the complicated buttons etc. If you purchaase the rechargeable batteries, the camera will last a long time. When I was in New england, I used my camera almost continuously off and on for about 2 days before I had to recharge. I also purchased a 2 GB SD card and reduced the resolution on the camera and I was able to take over 2000 photos and videos. I agree with other reviewers in that the sound on the video is surprisingly good. I didn't think it would be, but at Disney, I taped some performances and even from a far distance with the zoom in place the sound was really good. I uploaded to my computer, and I can literally relive the shows like I am there all over again. The quality of the photos when printed is also very good compared to some of my older version cameras. I would definitely recommend this camera, especially if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars or more and don't want buttons to confuse you to the point your camera spends its days on a lonely dusty shelf :( And who wants a lonely camera?? I know I want a happy camera smiling every time I go to use it :) |
