Good camera for the price

"This camera takes the best sunset pictures! I had to have video/movie capability since we do not have a video camera, but you don't need it with this. Great camera for the price and small enough to carry in purse or pocket. One problem, I had this camera for only 10 days before the battery died, but I do alot of videos and have the highest megipixal/quality setting. I knew the battery would drain but did no..."

useable, but not great

"Wide angle images looks reasonable, but looses IQ when zoomed to 5x. There was a lot of Softness, CA, and purple fringes.Image looses detail to JPG compression and other kodak camera smart fixes.Lens looks like it is design for 10 meg pixal or less camera. Macro setting is pretty much useless. must be at least 10" away from subject in wide, and produces closest subject of 4" across. Macro in 5x zoom setting r..." Read Full Review »

"I bought this camera because it had HD video and was cheap.



The image color was magenta biased and unacceptable.



The video format is mov which is not a universal format. Picasa won't play it, for example.



And, it requires lithium batteries. Alkalines wont' last. "
