(+) Ultra-compact dimensions, fun automatic tools, good performance for the asking price (-) Cluttered menu layout, camera buttons are scarce, specs are almost identical to the Samsung ES15
Advantages: Excellent quality images, many features, 12x optical zoom, easy to use, price Disadvantages: Cheap strap, no built-in lens cap, feels plasticky

This is an excellent camera at an amazing price. The lens is superb, and produces outstanding images. I used to have a Canon G7 and the images from the Kodak are so much better. A full range of shooting modes are available, including movie mode, as well as fully automatic. The long 12x optical zoom works perfectly, and is operated by buttons on the camera rear. The large LCD panel (6.4cm) is clear and easy to see. The Electronic View Finder (EVF) is also easy to use and I tend to use this more than the LCD. Both are high resolution.
The camera is powered by either the supplied battery, or the optional rechargeable battery, or standard lithium AA batteries which can be purchased at any electrical store.
Moving pictures to your PC is easy with the supplied cables and software. But if you get the Kodak printer things are even easier. You just drop the camera on the printer dock, and your pics will be transferred to your PC and the battery will be recharged (if you have the rechargeable battery of course).
In summary, don't be put off by the Kodak cheap and cheerful name. This is a great camera which can easily compete with cameras costing £100's more.
Advantages: great zoom, image stabilisation & auto focus, good for all camera users Disadvantages: lots of different settings, which can get a little confusing!
It's a great camera for those who like photography, the zoom is fantastic and it doesn't drain the batterries in 30 seconds like some cameras! The image stabilisation is great when you're using quite a high zoom and I was pleasantly surprised by the image quality when I uploaded them to my PC. It has up to 12X zoom which and the auto focus means that you don't end up with fuzzy photos.But it also has a manual focus setting, so if you are confident ...
