When my old Kodak camera died, I had no choice but to have to buy a new one because I am, amongst other things, addicted to taking pictures.It's sad but true. I'm probably the kind of perosn who would buty one of those big-ass hardcore cameras with a SUPER ZOOM lens and a MASSIVE tripod if I had any disposable income at all. Being on a tight budget I went for the one that seemed to be the best value for money... plus it came with a free printer in Currys :-) hehe.
Anyway, back to the camera. I chose Kodak because I find the resulting picture quality of this brand to be far superior to many others. Something about the lighting is so much better for me. Some cameras, partuicularly that of a close friend of mine - when used in electric lighting (and sometimes in natural) give skin an orangey, shiny glow which I find makes for very unattractive pictures. Kodak, on the other hand tend to have superior clarity, particularly in natural lighting - see the picture below which I find impressive - your opinion may differ but as I am an amateur of limited means, I am easily satisfied.
It's an 8.2 Megapixel, so good for the price. On the other hand this does mean you won't fit more than about 8 photos on the internal memory, and you are almost definitely gonna have to buy a memory card - this camera is SD compatible.
The downside is that when you turn to flash off in a lighting that the camera deems to need flash, you must hold your hands extremly still or you will get a blurry picture - what is it about these digital cameras that can't handle non-flash pictures?
i was quite disappointed by the fact that the optical zoom is only 3X - there is little use for digital zoom being menitoned as this can be done by cropping an orginal photo. It beggars belief why the manufacturers think a high digital zoom number is going to entice anyone to buy a digital camera. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps complete novices don't realise that the picture quality depletes just as enormously as cropping it in photoshop would, and therefore all the pre-buying pschobabble may confuse them into thinking that this actually makes it a better camera. Right, let's end this little rant about digital zoom here.
I have rated the instruction manual satisfactory, because, to be honest, I never get past the first page. I prefer to explore functions as and when I need/want them. I have had flick through but the camera is so easy to use that I find only complete technophobes need seek its guidance.

A very helpful review, it told me what I needed to know. I particularly liked the fact that you uploaded a couple of photos, so I could judge the quality for myself.
