5 comments about Kodak EasyShare M753 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Pink).

1. I bought this camera for my wife for Christmas. She has asked me for the last 6 months for a digital camera and finally broke down and got her one. She loves it. It simple straigth forward. She is 100% happy.



2. I bought this for my 12 year old daughter and while perfect for her, it would not be something I would purchase and enjoy for myself. The shutter speed is way to slow for me. I do own a Kodak that I love, but sadly Kodak doesn't make it anymore. Maybe I am just comparing this one to mine. The one I have is a Kodak V705 with the dual lens, very fast and takes excellent pictures.



3. I would stick with Nikon & Canon, you're best off in buying those than wasting your time on this camera. I hate to give bad reviews on a product but this camera is really below poor on it's image qualities, I just can't believe the price Kodak had on this camera. The pictures are also grainy. Let's just say my phone camera takes better pictures than this camera, no exaggeration!



4. THE CAMERA WAS AS DESCRIBED AND A GREAT PRICE. THE SHIPPING WAS EXCELLENT. PLEASURE TO DO BUSINESS WITH.
   THANKS



5. This camera will not charge from the USB port. Be prepared to buy a separate charger. Kodak needs to acknowledge this problem. Don't believe me? Read all the complaints on their own web site message boards. Nice camera and it takes nice pics but does not recharge with USB port.

1. This camera was delivered as promised. It is my second as I dropped the otherone with the lens open and I am trying to get it repaired. I use it so often I ordered another one. The price is right for the item and I use it often. The photos are very clear and it is an easy to use camera. I love it. It is a bit larger than some digitals but not a problem for me.Kodak EasyShare V1003 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Slate Gray)



2. Buenas noches yo quisiera saber donde esta mi camara fotografica ya que la compre el 8 de agosto y el 18 del mismo mes fue entregada en una residencia y desde entonces no se nada de la camara fotografica



3. I received this camera as a gift and had to send it in three times to be fixed. (Yes, I am EXTREMELY careful with my cameras) First, the lens would not go back inside. Second, because it would not charge. Third, for the lens again. I used it once after it got sent back and it broke again. A waste of time.



4. I purchased this camera for my son, for his girlfriend for christmas. I have already purchased this same exact camera in the past and the receiver of it loves it. It takes great pictures.



5. The Camera came quickly and very well wrapped in it's original seal. Just FYI- if you get it threw UPS, the box was thrown to my door from my gate 3 feet away! Other than that, the camera is Fabulous!

5 comments about Kodak DC4800 3.1MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom.

1. I've been using this camera for 2-1/2 years now. Even with all the market advancements, I'm sticking with my trusty DC4800.

   In 2001, going with 3.1 megapixels was a big splurge. Today it's still a pretty high resolution, despite the 4 and 5 megapixel models now available. But I feel no need to upgrade. I honestly don't believe the average user needs to go higher than what the DC4800 offers. At this resolution, you can get good prints up to 8x10. Extra megapixels just mean more space wasted on your memory card.

   The body is still sturdy, with a bit of damage from wear and tear. The worst is a hairline crack above the zoom dial. Additionally, the silver finish is wearing away at the corners. These signs of age are pretty minor considering the abuse I've put this camera through. I don't even own a proper camera case - I just throw it in my bag and go!

   The inside mechanisms continue to work perfectly. I've taken over 9000 shots with this camera, so that's saying a lot! Even the battery charges fresh and new as the day I bought it.

   If you're in the market for a used camera, I would definitely recommend the DC4800. I'd advise buying this even over newer Kodak models, which I've heard are not great. Kodak made a rare gem with the DC4800, and I'm hanging onto mine!




2. First time it died was just within the one-year warranty, and it died again a year later. I'm sending this $500.00 paperweight to Kodak's Vice President for Customer Relations with a nice note.



3. I've had this camera about 18 months. The only thing that I find lacking in this camera is its ability to take indoor flash pictures. Even using the +/- exposure compensater the pics come out under exposed, especially if the subject is more than 5 feet from the lens. Other features work well. I decided to stop fooling with this camera and went for the Canon S50, wow what a difference. Goodbye Kodak, hello Canon.



4. I've had this camera for about 3 years now.
   
   Picture quality:
   - takes great pictures outdoors, and indoor pictures with adequate lighting.
   - flash is not adequate. pictures with flash are horrible. they come out all blurry - the shutter speed isn't fast enough/CCD not good enough (when using auto settings)
   
   Use:
   - I like having the ability to change the f-stop setting on the fly with the knob on top of the camera. Sure beats using the menus.
   - The battery lasts a long time, but it's always good to have a spare, especially if you use LCD alot.
   
   Construction:
   - Solid.
   - I've fallen on this thing while skiing (back of case is cracked) and took it with me when I accidentally fell into Lake Tahoe (camera was submerged), but amazingly it still works.
   
   Summary:
   I've taken thousands of pictures with the camera. Certainly got good use out of it over the past 3 years.
   However, newer cameras have better flash capability and record in video. My friends have the Canon SXXX series. They are 1/2 the size of the Kodak, and perform much better.



5. I was using this camera as recently as 6 months ago, though it stopped working when it had the unfortunate luck of shifting in the backseat of my car when traveling, and falling on to the concrete when I opened the door (I've got a new Olympus C5500 now). Anyway, before that, I had the camera for about a year (I got it from a friend who had just bought a really great camera). While this camera is no match for my new Olympus, it was quite a good camera and a good introduction for me into semi-serious digital photography. I had a digital camera called a "JamCam" before this one, but it had few options and rather low picture quality (though for the price and the time when I got it, it was actually decent).
   
   The Kodak DC4800 is excellent under good lighting conditions, getting photo quality prints with a good printer. I actually got some great indoor shots with the flash too, though you can't get to close (it will wash out the picture) or to far away (it will be to dark). The camera can be fully automatic or almost fully manual (there is no manual focus, and the automatic settings are able to make use of more F-stops then when in manual mode).
   
   There are three focus modes: automatic (which usually works well except when dark, as there is no af assist lamp), Macro (for taking close-up shots as close as 10") and infinity (which allows you to lock the focus at infinity, which is good for distance shots).
   
   The camera includes a 3x optical zoom which is nice. When fully zoomed out, this camera gives quite a wide field of view (the only thing on this camera which is actually better then my new camera).
   
   Unless absolutely necessary, set the ISO setting to 100, as anything above that starts to get grainy. At 200 grain is noticeable but usually acceptable, and iso 400 is usually very grainy.
   
   The camera also includes a nice neck strap, lens cap, tripod adapter, and a time delay feature to allow you to get into the picture. The LCD display on this camera is good except when you are in bright sunlight, and then it gets hard to see, so you might need to use the optical viewfinder in some conditions. The camera comes with a recharger. The batter life was just okay, but I got the camera and battery used, so a new battery probably would have been much better. The camera also has video out cables, but the friend I bought this camera from no longer had his, so I can't comment on them. You'll also probably want to get a larger compact flash card then the one that came with the camera.
   
   Overall, this was a great camera in its day, and if you can find it used for a good price (be sure to compare prices as new cameras that beat this one are coming down in price all the time), it is a great starter camera which usually gets pretty good pictures (I won second place at the NJ State fair photo contest (amateur division) with a photo taken by this camera a year ago). The camera is also quite durable, as it took many moderate bumps before the final meeting between it and concrete which finally killed it.

5 comments about Kodak EasyShare DX7590 5MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom.

1. Let me begin by saying, I'm not a professional. I take photos for fun and to record events in my life. However, with this camera, I have been able to take some amazing photographs that I'm truly proud to show to friends.
   
   The zoom is phenomenal and was the reason that I upgraded from my previous camera that had only a 10x zoom. This zoom has allowed me to take great photos from spectator stands and at shows that would have looked ridiculous with a camera with a smaller zoom capacity.
   
   My favorite feature is the close-up feature which has allowed me take some stunning photos of my flowers and of birds roosting on my feeders. I've consistantly found my photos to have vivid coloring and crisp details which is something my other cameras lacked.
   
   For the amateur that wants to take fantastic photos that makes your friends say, "Wow!" this is a great camera. The only issue I've had with the camera is taking photos of heavily lit situations at night such as Christmas light displays, etc. No matter what setting I used, the photos still came out a bit unfocused.
   
   However, everything else is superb. A fantastic buy.



2. I love the pictures this thing takes. Some of them look like they were taken by professionals for national geographic. But they were just pictures of my cat.
   
   But I have a HUGE problem with the PC interface. You have to use Kodak's software to transfer to a PC. With my olympus, I just hooked in the USB cable, went to My Computer, found the camera, then dragged and dropped the photos where I wanted them. No large programs to load, no creating albums, no setting default options, etc. Just drag and drop using the windows explorer interface. The so called "easy"share software won't allow that.
   
   So I find myself using my old olympus, because after all, I'm just taking pictures of my cat.



3. There are a couple of "minor" quirks of this camera but let me say first that it's one of the best 5mp "near-SLR" DCs on the market.
   First quirk: In video mode, the zoom is disabled. Being able to zoom in and out in movie mode is basic and I'm not sure why this camera doesn't support it. But, it's a DC not a camcorder.
   Second quirk: If you buy the 58mm adapter so that you can put a protective filter over the lens, the built in flash gets cut off by the collar and the pictures are dark in the lower half. If this is a problem, keep the stock lens cap on and be a little more careful with the lens. Flash can be solved with a "head 'n handle" flash unit (from $10 on ebay). External flash connection was a BIG selling point for me.
   This camera has become my light meter for my film SLRs. Instead of taking readings, I use the bracketing function +,- EV to find the best looking shot on the large, bright viewfinder/screen. Click on "Info" and see exactly what fstop and shutter will expose that old-fashioned and expensive 35mm film perfectly!



4. The camera takes very good pictures, but the overall size makes it cumbersome to carry around. In the two years I've owned it, I brought it with me less than I would've for a smaller camera with worse optics. On hikes it is pretty much impossible to bring along because it's too big to fit in some day packs.
   
   And after only having this camera for two years and using it sparingly, it will not work now because the camera electronics will not fully charge the battery. Purchased replacement batteries, which are specific to this camera, but these will not fully charge either. For the price of the camera quality control should be significantly higher, buy a Canon, or something that will let you use standard sized (AA, etc.) batteries at least, instead.



5. I live in a small town and am kind of the resident camera expert and have bought digital cameras online for about 25 people. I have owned this model of Kodak camera (twice, in fact - have now upgraded to a DSLR) and have bought it for about 5 of my friends. It is a great camera. It takes very sharp, clear outdoor photos with excruciating detail. It does a better job than most, indoors with a flash. Very vibrant colors. It's quite fast and has good flash range and recharge time. It has 10x optical zoom which isn't stabilized, but I never had any problems with blurring, even at maximum zoom range (granted, I am quite good at holding a camera steady).
   
   Kodak has one of the easiest to use menus in the business and this one is no exception. I am also a fan of the joystick design which makes navigating a "joy". This camera is practically indestructible. It seems to be faster and takes better photos than the newer models that Kodak has put out lately (z712, a612). I even liked this model better than the P850 which is supposed to be their professional model, but it is much heavier and doesn't have anything on the dx7590 in the performance department. I keep recommending this one to people over and over again. I only held back one star because of the grainy lcd (the photos are never grainy - just the screen) and very slight amounts of softness in some images - which is very typical of Kodak. Overall, it's one of the best cameras I've owned - and I've tried almost every brand and model out there.
   
   It's interesting to me how a camera company can get some models right and others are not so good. This one was a winner.

5 comments about Kodak EasyShare CX6330 3.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom.

1. This camera lasted me a couple years but I can't wait to get a new one. The picture quality is frustrating, especially when you're trying to use a flash. Plus, the battery runs out EXTREMELY fast no matter how long you charge. I wouldn't recommend it.



2. I've had this camera for a couple of years now. I can't wait to get a new one. The battery life on this camera is next to nothing. I go through about 4 batteries a day if I'm taking a lot of pictures. The quality of the pictures isn't ver good either. The flash tends to drown people out after a while. Spend the extra money to get a better quality camera.



3. horrible camera!
   doesnt even deserve one star!!
   contains sand in inner lense!
   the screen is so small i cant see it!
   the battry life is horrible....DONT BUY THIS THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER BETTER CAMERS THAN THIS ONE!!!
   please listen to my great advice or you will regret your purchasee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



4. 
   I do not know how other reviewers use this camera, but am inclined to think that their problems are caused by user error. I have had this camera for 4 years now along with the camera dock. I love this camera. I have had no problems at all. Even after it fell off the roof of the car it works like a champ.It is easy to use. compact,not overly complicated. I use the view finder alot as the lcd on any digital camera will use up the battery really fast.I use the lcd only when taking close up shots of items for online selling or outside to capture insects, flowers etc. It charges quickly, holds a charge a long time .I use the KODAK rechargable battery pack and I replace it annually ( it cost me $12.00 a year for the battery ). I have taken hundreds of photos with this camera and it has never failed me. I love the video feature too, you can capture alot of fun times withit.The online Easyshare software is great too and it is free. You can crop, edit, enahnce,frame etc. do just about anything you want to your pics .A really nice camera for a very reasonable price.



5. I have had this camera for several years. It is easy to use, holds a charge for a looong time and takes great pictures. I have dropped it, gotten it wet and let it bounce around in my backpack without a case and it has stood up to all of it without a glitch. I am just now upgrading to a ultra compact. My Mom recently got a bigger fancier digital camera with 12.1 mp and she often says she thinks the old Kodak Easyshare takes better pictures than her new one. I will keep this one around for awhile as I am sure to miss it if I don't!

1. I love this camera. It takes great pictures. Bought a 1GB sd card to expand the memory and it is more than enough card for pics & short videos. I love the battery and its own charger. It fits in my camera case so I am never w/o it. Battery life is good. Had another Kodak camera for my first digital that was lost and said I wouldn't buy Kodak again but have been very happy with both cameras.



2. The following message was sent to me from your customer service department. I am very disappointed at the responses I have received in trying to track my order and find out what went wrong with the delay. It is sad to find out that your people think that customer service and customer satisfaction is so hilarious. Your responses indicates that the customer service rep is still baffled by not knowing what went wrong with the order not being received on my end, and only is concerned about a negative comment received and his inability to gain a retraction. I set out at the start of my inquiries to simply find out where my order was, as I typed this question in to your company I could not send it without filling out your satisfaction survey. My mistake was shopping on line with a company that is of little help when it come to serving there customers. I will correct my mistake and I will be stepping back from any other purchasing from your company.
   
   Sincerely Tom Scully
   
   
   Tom--you are hilarious---you made a mistake--left us negative feedback and now send us email after email over issues that have nothing to do with your mistake---I will chalk this one up to a horrid experience with an difficult customer. I tried....have a super day!!!
   
   I'm still a little baffled here----we did everything right --shipped your order, you mis-placed or something and then send us emails about arrogance---wow---I think you should take a step back.



3. First let me tell you that I am more than just a point and shoot kind of guy. (with cameras that is) This camera is one of the best I have ever owned. I brought 2 cameras with me to Iraq, the first was a Sony that took such garbage pictures that I threw it away in disgust. The second was the LS 753. 18 months in the Middle East with this camera in my ammo pouch and it still took the best pictures. It weatherd sandstorms, temps over 125 degrees, high humidity, and lots of bumpy and nasty terrain and it kept right on going. I have now been out of Iraq for over a year and the camera, although scratched up a bit still works. My only regret is that Koadk did not continue this line of cameras.

4. This is a great digital camera for beginners (like myself). Didn't have to read the instructions at all. VERY user friendly. Unfortunately, I think Kodak has discontinued this product line, but you can easily buy parts for it as well as accessories via Ebay or Amazon.



5. This camera was given to me as a gift and I immediately fell in love. The picture quality was excellent, especially when taking pictures outdoors. A couple years after I got it I started having some trouble with the lens. Now the camera has permanently shut off, the lens is still stuck, and despite the fact that I bought new batteries and charged them, I can't get the camera to even turn on. I haven't dropped it, wet it, or abused it in any way so this is a bit of a disappointment. Durability matters as much as the picture quality to me.

5 comments about Kodak EasyShare LS743 4MP Digital Camera with 2.8x Optical Zoom.

1. Wow! What a great camera. I am writing this review almost 2 years after purchasing this product. Since I have bought this product, I know that digital cameras have changed and improved dramatically. Even with that understanding, I LOVE this camera. I originally bought a sony cybershot and spent $200 more than this Kodak camera. After trying to figure out how to take good pictures with the expensive cybershot, I returned the sony and bought the kodak instead.
   I am pleased with this camera because it is EASY to use. My wife hates electronics and can still take remarkable pictures with the easy share. After 2 years, I have not even looked at the manual or used the kodak software--that's how easy it is. I use the automatic setting and the camera takes wonderful, colorful, bright and crisp pictures. The video recording aspect is good, but who would buy a digital camera to take videos anyway? It is small enough to fit in your pants pocket, but there are smaller cameras out there. The optical zoom could be a bit better and it takes several seconds to take a repeat picture because the lcd screen is a bit slow to refresh. Even with that said, I probably won't buy another digital camera for another year. When I do, it will be the newest kodak easyshare.



2. I bought two of these cameras and printer docks because it was so easy to learn -- this was my first digital camera. It takes nice pictures without red-eye. The only issue with it is that it takes so long to reset between pictures that the subjects start to walk away after the first shot. Because of that, I am switching to a new camera soon. The Kodak software is good for uploading images to the Kodak website for sharing pictures easily and ordering photos. But, the software tends to be very buggy and takes forever to install and update. The Kodak printer dock makes very nice prints -- when it works. I had to send one of the docks back for repair within the first year. Frequently, the docks are not recognized by my computers.



3. I purchased this camera when it came out in 2004. I love it! The only complaint (or minor annoyance) is that it is sometimes temperamental when I first turn it on and snaps a shot on its own. Besides for that it's been a great camera. We have 3 children and we really use this camera ALL the time. It has been to the beach with us several times, dropped in the sand, dropped on hard floors by the kids, etc., and still no problems. I got my first ever error code yesterday because the lens would not fully retract when I turned the camera off so I simply manually pushed the lens back flush with the front of the camera and when I turned it on again it extracted perfectly and the error code disappeared. If this camera dies tomorrow I will still have no complaints because I know I've gotten my money's worth and I have hundreds of beautiful photos to prove it.



4. This was the first digital camera I every bought and I still love it. I just bought my second more high tech digital but nothing beats the simple easy pictures these take. I took pictures at a wedding this summer and got better pictures than the professional with this LS743!!
   This camera takes the fastest pictures, everyone is always so amazed! I love the battery also, it is way better than having to recharge AA, lithium last way longer.
   Also a great party camera, this was dropped plenty of times in my highschool days and is still taking great pictures to this day!
   Highly recommended!



5. My daughter and I had these cameras with the dock 3 years ago and they were the best cameras we have ever had. Then the cameras broke, first hers and then mine. We were told that these camera's were not available anymore, but if we bought another kind, it would fit the dock. My daughter bought one and it did not fit the dock, nor was it half as good as the old camera.
   
   Recently, I typed the camera LS743 into Amazon Search and there it was! I bought two of them and they work perfectly.
   
   I thought, "Oh no! Once again something I love has gone off the market" but I am very pleasantly suprised by this.
   
   Thank you Amazon!

5 comments about Kodak EasyShare DX6490 4MP Digital Camera w/ 10x Optical Zoom and Camera Dock.

1. I use my Mac for all my digital images (I really like iPhotos) When I got the camera I was afraid I would have to use their software to get the pictures off of the camera. I was very happy to find that it works well with iPhotos (you only loss the use of the share button, if that is important to you, keeping all my pictures in one place was more important to me) The images are great quality for home use. I use the burst mode (take up to 6 pictures in less then 3 seconds) to get action shots (start taking just before the picture I want, and keep going though till after and hope for the best) In Pasm mode you can change the shutter speed and other settings. The LCD is good for reviewing the pictures you just took and deleting the ones you don't want to keep. It uses the standard SD card for expanded memory (one reason I would not get a Sony since they don't support SD cards) The 10x optical zoom is what got me to get the camera, the greatest in all the cameras I looked at that made use of the SD care standard.



2. I just bought the Kodak DX6490. It remided me of my old and faithfull Kodak Retina IIIc. The leather case, the feel of the camera, the Schneider Kreuznach lens. A wonderfull camera. Congatulations to Kodak for going back to a great tradition.



3. I have owned this camera for nearly 2 years now and I can honestly say that it is a good camera for general use but with a few caveats.
   
   If you are taking outdoor photographs it is a fantastic camera. The 10x optical zoom is great until you start to reach the outer fringes then you begin to see a noticeable drop off in sharpness. The digital zoom is useless in my opinion.
   
   The real issue with this camera comes when using it in low light or night situations. Even at ISO 800 and manual exposure the pictures come out less than acceptable. If you do not use a tripod, look for substantial blurring of your photographs. Downloading and using Photoshop CS2 did not help.
   
   I just returned from 3 weeks in Italy and after missing some shots in low light situations I am now convinced I need to upgrade. The camera just would not take the pictures no matter what I tried. If you are considering this camera for a once in a lifetime vacation or for any situation where low light pictures will be important you may want to consider other options.



4. This product is perfect for anyone who wants to just go out and take great pictures. The camera can be easily operated with little use of the owner's manual. Everthing is simple to find and use. The 10x zoom on the camera is second to none and the 'through the lense' viewing option is wonderful. The battery on this camera is outstanding for how long it will last and recharging is a snap. The only thing that I wished worked better is the flash. To me it needs more power. Other than that, the camera is great.



5. Being photography is a hobby of mine I really enjoy picture taking. After many years I still use my Canon 35mm, which still works great. Doing a lot of camping & hiking I was looking for something where I didn't have to lug around all of my multiple lenses & stuff for the Canon. More of a one camera fits all situation. After much research I decided on the Kodak 6490 camera, which in the end am very happy I did. The problem with digital SLA cameras would put me right back in the same situation with dealing with dealing with multiple lenses & flashes. I've had this camera for over two years. It has worked great since day one. About the only thing I don't like on the camera is the on switch, which is a round button, which you must turn. Sometimes in colder weather it has a tendency to be hard to turn. As for the camera itself the 10x lens is great. For those who didn't know Kodak was one of the first to come out with 10-12x lenses. It allows you to zoom in very well from a distance, I was quite surprised. Very comparable to my 250-500 mm Canon lens. The built in flash is good for about 25 ft. I'm not fond of the Kodak software but then again I use another program for my pictures. At the time when I bough my camera Kodak had a bug in the software. The only real problem is if you wanted to download pics you must allow the software to open at computer start up. I simply turned mine off so it wouldn't start up in the computer start up functions & opened it when needed. An update is now available which to my knowledge fixed most bugs. All I really use the camera dock for is charging & downloading the pics to my computer. Battery life is very good. If you're smart & conserve battery power I've been able to get well over 200 pics. Speaking of the battery one main reason for buying this camera is because it came with a rechargeable Lith. Battery. I'm done with the alkaline & NIMH batteries which didn't last long for me. Rechargeable Lith. batteries are the only way to go for long battery life & many pics, which if you check many cameras today it is still very hard to find even in high price units rechargeable Lith. Batteries. As to picture quality, no problem, but remember pic. quality only depends on how good the printer can produce or the developing lab. The Kodak printer produces good picture quality, but the paper refills are expensive. I have mine developed at Costco who has the best price & decent quality. With all this being said my son purchased the 7590, which is the next step up from the 6490. It offers push button on & off button & has many more added picture features, so this would be the one I would go for. Still two years later I'm very happy with my 6490 & made the best choice.

5 comments about Kodak EasyShare V550 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver).

1. This camera is awesome. I love the fact that now I can carry my camera with me everyday and not have to lug an extra carrying case. The pictures are sharp and clear and it it easy to use. I do suggest using the wrist strap as my husband had a hard time with the "smallness" of the camera. I did not find it hard to use or handle. The picture on the LCD is clear and easy to see in all lighting conditions.



2. I love this camera sooo much. I have never taken as many pictures as I do now. I have had this camera for over a year now and still find it a pleasure to use. This camera is sleek, very user friendly and allows me to capture video and digital moments for long lasting memories. I love it!



3. LOVED this camera until it broke one year later. I mean it completely broke. It's dead. The battery power died during a photo shoot and killed the camera. Now it won't even turn on. See my post in the forum on this page for more info. The short of it all is, do NOT buy Kodak. My GF has a Canon Elph and it's far more amazing than anything Kodak makes. Plus if you ever have to deal with Kodak's customer service...well, let's hope you never have to.



4. this camera worked well, until the lens stopped working one day. now it just makes a grinding noise. from looking online, this is a common problem. the outside is metal, but the gears inside are just soft plastic.



5. This is a great little camera if you do a lot of outdoor photo shoots of still objects. I have 3 small children, and it doesn't work too well for my photo needs. I take lots of indoor pictures which most of the time turn out pretty dark unless I have it super bright in my house, but that isn't very often. I tried to take pictures at my son's kindergarten graduation in his classroom, but it was too dark to get even one shot. I had to get video of him to be able to see him at all. Not so great for kids in motion either, they are blurry.
   
   Video option is great though. I guess I use this option most on my camera. I have had this one about a year, and I am going for a canon with IS (image stabalization) now. I will retire this camera to my husband.
