Great for daytime, mediocre for nighttime........2002-03-05

The title says it all - daytime pictures are crisp, clear, and brilliant color. Incredible, actually. The detail is great, and the pictures are incredibly lifelike.

Nighttime pictures utilizing flash are mediocre - they come out grainy and the colors are a bit on the muddy side.

I frankly don't know if it's an underpowered flash or just the nature of the beast; even close-up flash, where the power of the flash shouldn't really matter, comes out the same way.

However, I must temper this with two possible explanations - 1) that nighttime pictures just [are poor] because they do with any camera - I haven't tried other cameras or 2) - my expectations are out of whack because the daytime pictures are just so darned good.

Very good camera.......2002-01-31

This camera is a very good product. I have taken more than 5000 photos with it and the majority of pictures are great. If you are looking for a good camera at a very good price, then this is your camera of choice.

Awesome for the beginner.......2001-11-26

I've got 2000 35mm photos, and I've always wanted a digital camera. I purchased this one, after months of research, in Mar 01. Simply put, it's been the best purchase I've ever made. I love it. It's simple, I never have to change from the default settings, it takes beautiful pictures, and everyone thinks it's really expensive. The quality of the photos is unbelieveable. You won't want to switch from the 1MB .jpeg files. The USB/VHS cables work great. I've literally had NO PROBLEMS out of this camera. If there could be some improvements, I'd like for the flash to work a little better. Also, you have to pay attention and have the trigger half-pulled to get those action shots, but I think that's to be expected with a digital camera. I bought this camera..and got the 128MB compact flash card... The compact flash card is much cheaper now. I can walk around and take 120 1MB, high quality pictures, outdoors and NEVER run the one battery I own out of juice. That was a big concern of mine, but it's really no problem. You won't need the extra battery and charger. If you love to take photos, and you're not an expert, I highly recommend this camera. (This is not a BS write-up, I really do recommend it.)

What's not to like?.......2001-11-20

There are very few things not to like about this camera and they are far out weighted by the many things this camera does. I don't like the overall feel of the camera, it feels cheesy. I don't like the LCD in the sun, you must use a shade to see it. But that is really nit picking once you get down to the features that include saturated color for overcast days-it's like putting Fuji Velvia in a film camera to punch up color. Black and white with red and yellow filters as well as sepia and I don't have to carry filters! I love kicking back, with the camera hooked up to my TV, and watch the slide show feature on a big screen, which you can do because the images are so sharp. I purchased the wide angle attachment and, although it has some distortion primarily when photoing buildings, it is sharp. 11X14" prints come out looking like a lab did them when you shoot in raw mode. Here's a tech tip -put the camera on a tripod, set the ASA to 400, set the film to black and white and hold a wratten 87 filter in front of it while exposing and get the look of black and white infrared film. This camera puts fun in photography and is well worth the price.

Just great pics, no gimmicks.......2001-11-18

I took a photography class in college and have owned various Nikon SLR's. This was the first digital point and shoot that satisfies both easy carrying and wife use and still is super high quality. The guy who says its garbage on close up shots should have checked the Kodak website and done the firmware update, the new software fixed that glitch. The update was super easy to do. This camera won me a photo contest with a pic of my cat, and it constantly amazes us with its quality pics, and I hardly use anything but the 2.2 megapixel or LESS. The exposure controls 2stops +/- are excellent and right on top of camera. Depth of field is also on top, easy to use. A diopter is given on the view finder. (...) The battery is a high quality one and lasts a decent amount of time if you don't use the screen much. Only non's want to use the screen anyway, use the viewfinder.

I would like to have a remote for slide shows on TV, and maybe movie capacity but like my review is titled, this is a very solid camera (fell on it once on a rock) that just takes awesum pictures. The software is basic, you can only transfer files pretty much, but I already had some olympus software for editing.

(...)

FYI - We use amazon's o-photo service and love their service. Its by Kodak as well and provides fast service that has not dissappointed us.

Enjoy!!
