Don't Waste Your Time
|
I bought this camera 8 months ago when my Kodak EasyShare died three days after my first child was born. For $100 I figured I couldn't really go wrong. Oh, but was I was ever.
Others have mentioned the battery issue. The Duracell it comes with died in a matter of four hours. I had two options, scour my hometown for the $20 replacement or drop $60 on a rechargable.
At first it seemed like a great product, sleek design, tiny enough to slide into a jeans pocket, huge screen... I was in camera heaven until I really began to notice how the photos were turning out. The color/lighting balance on this little monstrosity is lacking at best. It hates indoor photos with a seething passion (regardless of how I set the different functions and sensitivities) and the only way you're going to get that perfect shot is if you have unyielding patience and TONS of bright, perfect lighting.
Having years and years of both traditional and digital photography experience, I can tell you with utmost assuredness that I wasn't doing anything wrong (that I could tell.)
The camera is very slow and the shutter speed is even worse. Don't for a moment expect to be able to take a crisp photo with the flash off. I've had endless frustration with this camera's quality and was especially shocked to realize my cheap Kodak was amazing comparatively.
Today, nine months after purchase, the focus died. Now the camera turns on, but when you attempt to depress the shutter to bring your image into focus, it just makes a horrible grinding noise. The mechanism is obviously bust, but I can't say I'm disappointed. It gives me an excuse to buy myself a nice new one... Maybe another Kodak, I'm thinking ;) |
