Another criticism I have is the small size of the camera (which might be common among low end digitals) and the correspondingly small operating buttons, which would be perfect for tots or elves but for grownups, even for someone with small hands like mine, it's a challenge. Finally, if you load the software for Easyshare cradle on your computer, it slows down the loading time for your computer considerably.

This is a lesson I have never learned: pay for quality the first time; it's more economical in the long run.


Lack Features, with problems   December 13, 2003

First Kodak makes you buy a Dock. extra 80 bucks.
Although this camera does take good pictures when daylight is sufficient, this camera lacks features and with problems.

No zoom. No timer. of course no video (which is ok)

Here are some real problems:
1. this camera makes DARK pictures when there is not ample light. Yes, flash is on. Regular 35mm (even those made by Kodak) cameras can do much better than that.

2. Battery life is short. Do not trust the computer when it says battery life is good. You will run out after taking a few shots. If you gone to a day trip you must remember to turn it off everytime after you take a pic in order to last a few hours

3.Upload from the dock sometimes give mysterious I/O errors. Frustrating. You may have to try a couple times.


DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY   November 22, 2003

A terrible product for several reasons:

- As others have said, the battery does not hold a charge.
- It cannot be used outdoors; it over exposes every shot. Even when used indoors on a sunny day, the photos are a huge white glare.
- Close-up photos are completely out of focus.

This was one of the worst purchases I've ever made!

We received this camera as a gift and like many other reviewers have had horrible experiences trying to get the batteries to charge. Customer service replaced and recharged the battery, but to no avail. It is sitting and gathering dust... Don't waste your money.


Great Camera!   August 21, 2003

This is a great little camera that gives quality photos. The only dislike I have is that there is a slight delay once you take the picture before it actually takes the shot. So, sometimes I have to shoot and reshoot to get the shot I want.
