1 Star REALLY SAD…
I AM REALLY SAD ABOUT THIS CAMERA, FIRST 2 OR 3 DAYS, THE CAMERA WORKS GREAT, AFTER THAT, THE CAMERA START TO SHOW A BAD QUALITY IN THE LCD SCREEN (BLURRY), I AM REALLY SAD, THE FIRST PICTURES WERE SO GREAT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY MY ITEM WAS DEFECTIVE,PROBABLY I AM GOING TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER BRAND,I TRIED EVERYTHING, CHANGED SETTINGS,MODES,AND NOTHING WORKS, NO CAMERA FOR CHRISTMAS TIME AND NO CAMERA FOR MY SNOWING TOWN.:(
5 Stars Awesome little camera!
I bought this camera when my C875 died (accident, no fault of Kodak). I mainly do photography as a hobby, but I’m constantly taking professional quality pics of my own children and friends’ children. I really wanted to splurge and get an SLR, but this little beauty caught my eye. 14.2 mega pixels for under $200!?! I’m so glad I gave it a chance. Once again Kodak has made me very happy. This little camera takes amazing pictures. They are so crisp and clear that nearly every shot I take is stunning…and considering that my subjects are a one year old and three year old that’s really saying something. Both the preset and manual settings are very easy to use and once you’ve played with them a while it isn’t hard to have your pictures turn out perfect. I’ve also found that the size of the camera is a plus. It’s small enough to travel well, yet it isn’t flat and tiny like some other point and shoots. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s nice to have something to hold on to.
All in all, this is an awesome little camera for your money and I would definitely recommend it! The picture quality is amazing.
1 Star battery life is horrible
I have used $70 worth of batteries in four months. I called Kodak and told them that the camera keeps eating batteries, it shuts off by itself all of the time, and it will take a picture and then the picture will disappear. I sent the camera in to have it fixed and they sent it back to me without fixing it. The “supervisor” that I spoke to told me to just replace the battery. Not any help at all. In the warranty it shows that they will replace the camera, fix the camera, or give you your money back and they have refused to do any of the above. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!
5 Stars Great Product!
This camera is awesome! Picture quality is beautiful. The video quality is also very good. It’s easy to use, light and very portable. It doesn’t fit in your pocket but it’s light and easy to carry in a small camera case. The original battery lasted for several hundred pix. I had purchases a rechargable one because of the comments that I had read before I purchased. I would definitely recommend it.
2 Stars Battery Compartment not good
This camera takes nice pictures- but it burns through batteries pretty fast, and I like to use AA lithiums- well even though the manual says they work, the battery compartment door doesn’t close tightly so that there is always contact- my camera would then not always work- you have to buy the more expensive CRV3 battery to always have contact- and it’ll burn pretty quick through those, too.
I’ll be returning mine, and going back to Canon (I lost my Canon Powershot). This is the second Kodak I’ve tried and the construction of their cameras just doesn’t seem very good. Nice features, nice pictures, poor quality construction.
Also- be careful if you buy your camera through another store at Amazon- Amazon has a great return policy, their stores here may not- I have to pay a 10% restocking fee, plus return shipping, and I only had 15 days to try the camera (luckily I decided to do the return within 13 days). READ THE STORES RETURN POLICY BEFORE BUYING, I didn’t.
