I have had this little camera for about 8 months and I find it very easy to use. The pictures are brilliant and uploading onto your computer is very easy, I use it for ebay and also for family photos. The softwear is also easy to use and you can have thousands of pictures and be able to sort them out as you like, in separate albums for each event, edit them, save as background or screensaver etc. You can also buy an Kodak easishare docking station where you can print direct. If you take a picture and it goes wrong (your fault) then one button and its gone! Very lightweight and compact and easily fits in your bag or pocket. I am not a technical person and find some gadgets difficult, but this little camera - even I can do!Charging up doesn't take too long and then off you go and experiment with it - great fun. Battery seems to last a long time too once charged.
The camera has 8.2 mega pixels and has a HD still capture, you can choose whether to use the flash, but it does come on automatically when the camera thinks you need it. Without a memory card you can only have 11 pictures, but I have a 1 gigabyte memory card (SD) and so can have hundreds on it, then you can either use the lead to upload onto your computer or just extract the memory card and slot into your computer or printer. You may take a picture like an ordinary camera ie through the lens or by using the screen, you can review your pictures on your camera at anytime and delete the ones you are not happy with. You can also zoom in on specific subjects. I always keep my settings on auto, but there is a function for moving objects, scene pictures and also a video. I would recommend anyone to give it a try.
