Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

Advantages: Features Like Any Regular Digital Camera
Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

...No digital camera review on CIAO would be complete without a few entries about cameras designed for kids. After all, kids are almost universally enthusiastic about taking pictures. And parents with a love of photography often pass down their passion to their children. But digital cameras are not always kid-friendly, due to fragile construction, price, or complicated menus and buttons. The newest trend in children's electronics is a group of digital cameras made especially for small children. These cameras are easy to hold, come in bright colors that kids love, and have many of the same features as grown-up digital cameras. Kids love them. The VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera is one of the top digital cameras for kids. This camera was made with fun in mind. Kids like the KidiZoom's large LCD screen and the onboard photo editing options...

Disadvantages: slow, limited, struggles, pointless

...KODAK Z1015 IS easyshare digital camera: PRICE: I have seen these on ebay from about £120 but expect to pay around £160 The specifications for this camera are very good especially for the price, it exhibits great range for wide & telephoto picture taking making it suitable for both portraits & large groups/landscapes even within close proximity.

The point and shoot cameras do have their limits as far as handling goes & I fear that this has actually gone beyond that; meaning...

Kodak DX 3500 and Camera Dock

Advantages: Ease of use, picture quality, looks
Disadvantages: none

...the picture on a TV Picture quality is great with good colour balance. The 3x Digital zoom works but with reduced picture quality, better to go for an optional 4x zoom lens. There are wide angle lenses available, they fit on the camera lens via a converter. The standard lens has a 38mm / F4.5 focal length. When you have taken your pictures slot the camera onto the Camera Dock press a button and the pictures, via the USB, will transfer to your computer. The DX 3500 comes with software/drivers on CD. The software lets you view the pictures, zoom rotate etc. The camera also appears as a device on the computer so you can Copy and Paste pictures direct from the cameras memory. If you have a memory card in the camera you can select which picture you would like to be printed via Kodak, also an option in camera. The manual in the box...

Kodak CX4300 Digital camera.

Advantages: Light-weight, compact and easy to use.
Disadvantages: You will need to get regargable batteries for this camera.

...On first impressions this is a very sleek and stylish looking digital camera, that shouts out quality and good results, it is not only light-weight but also easy to use. The whole package includes: the camera, 2 AA kodak batteries, software for computer, usb cord to plug into your camera and computer for easy transfer of pictures, a tv-out lead to plug into your tv so you can review pictures on it a very good idea, and handy for relatives that don't have pc, and of course,easy to read manuals and warranty information.

I took about 20 pics the first time and the batteries went flat on me, so I recommend...

Kodak M853 Red digital camera

Advantages: Great looks, brilliant quality of images, various settings,
Disadvantages: Could have more internal memory.

...This camera is stylish, lightweight and economical. I paid £80.00 for this camera at Currys and I believe it has been worth every penny so far. The fact it has 8.2 megapixels means that you can zoom in on images and edit them very effectively. The front of the camera, in myopinion, looks like it's rival: the sony cybershot. The cybershot doesn't have as many Megapixels, and therefore doesn't produce as good quality images as this does. I would add also that the screen is fantastic for viewing images instantly after they have been taken, and the camera is also easy to charge; a mains charger is provided in the box. Kodak really have impressed me with all the different settings on the simple wheel on the top of the camera. Examples include: -Auto: Used for general picture taking -Digital image stabilization: Makes sure that...

Canon IXUS 95 IS: The best amateur digital camera on the market

Advantages: Very high quality pictures for both print and web work.
Disadvantages: The bundled software that comes with it has a very Fisherprice feel about it.

...After reading many reviews on Amazon and amateur camera sites about the different types of hobbyist level digital cameras, I decided to buy one of these. The camera itself has a metal casing and so has a sleek feel and look to it. It's very light weight and compact making it very easy to carry around in a handbag or while, (and most importantly) taking pictures! I found that it took only 5 - 10 minutes to get the camera working from out of the box. It was so simple, I didn't take that much notice of the manual. When starting up the camera, it isn't slow like they digital cameras of yesteryear. Its ability to capture anything in an instant is one of it's many advantages. The photos it and you produce are very high quality, as I found out the other day when I had some printed off at home. The only downside is the bundled software...

Kodak/Nikon collaboration Kodak DCS 620 DSLR

Advantages: Awesome images, full range of features, Nikon F5 body, full control of camera settings
Disadvantages: Heavy and large, awkward for some users, must learn controls for full advantage

...How can you go wrong with a digital camera based on a Kodak/Nikon collaboration? This is not for point and shoot amateurs. This is for high end amateurs and professionals. It has all the features of the legendary Nikon F5 SLR film camera in a Kodak digital format. There's a lot to learn to use this camera to it's full potential, and it's worth it. Multiple recording media use, multiple recording formats, computer interfacing, and a fully customizeable user interface. You have both the digital menus and camera button functions and settings to learn. Be prepared to practice and experiment. Being digital, you can trash what you don't like. The three key words to mastering this camera are the same words for mastering anything. Practice, practice, practice. This not a camera for kids or people who tire easily. It's big, it's heavy, it...

Kodak Digital Camera Superb And Robust

Advantages: Easy To Use
Disadvantages: LCD Adjustment Too Easy

...I have owned my digital camera now for about nine months. I have found that the DC240 is extremely easy to use, a lot easier than most SLR cameras I have owned. It realy is a point and click camera and I have been more than pleased with the reults. My young son has used it to good effect on his trips out, he is only 12 years old so it must be fairly starightforward. The picture quality has always been good. I am no expert when it comes to photography but this little camera seems to have everything I need. It has taken a few knocks along the way and seems to be no worse off for the experience. I have had to think hard to say something negative about the camera, but if I must then it would be that the LCD screen adjustment wheel is too easy to knock out. The first time it happened I thought the camera had broken. Maybe that is just me...

Can you trust Kodak cameras?

Advantages: small size and weight
Disadvantages: image quality, quality of materials used

...something or other but the best price was £119, and had a lower MP than several other similarly priced cameras. So by a process of elimination - I've heard of the brand, it has a few MP's, didnt come in pink as standard, and it was the cheapest of the lot I ended up with the Kodak M1073 IS. The camera is avaliable in black or silver, and has a plastic body. Mine is the black version pictured, it looks quite sleek and classy in the pictures, unfortunately in person it simply looks like a cheap black body with cheap silvery bits. Also worth noting is that the camera unlike many DOES NOT come with an SD card as part of the pack, you have to purchase one separately, of course this unlikely to be a problem for most people replacing an older model. So what is in the box... Other than the camera itself, there is the battery, a wrist lanyard, USB cable...

Review of Kodak EASYSHARE M1073 IS

Owners opinion of the Kodak DX3600 digital camera

Advantages: Easy of use, reliability, strength, and picture transfer.
Disadvantages: Battery life can be a bit short and may suffer from residual charge memory which degrades battery life and necessitates complete discharge before the batteries can be fully re-charged

...Card bought for aprox 60 quid. This gives me the buffer I need of 144 additional good quality images because some who will be using it will need all that just to get one good picture. I also tested the built-in flash which seems good for up to 9 feet but wouldn?t rely on it much further and of course using it does effect battery life. 2. Quick to set-up All you need to do is select the mode (video or still) point and click. The case design and feel is kind-off reminiscent of an earlier romantic non-digital Kodak era which some of you older ones will notice as soon as you pick one up. It feels strong and well made and fits like an old Kodak in the hand giving a perception of quality some manufacturers never seem to get right. The image preview is menu driven and incorporates a neat zoom facility of the stored images. 3. Easy to...
