really good camera

By Anonymous 

from Madison, Alabama

Pros: i love all the different settings., the battery options are versatile

Cons: no seperate view finder, screen is hard to see in outdoor setting

"I got this camera as an upgrade to another kodak I bought 8 yrs ago. Needless to say its quite an improvement. I love that the "controls" are still pretty much the same. The software that is standard with the camera is so much fun to "play" with as well. I dont take alot of people shots however I love outdoor shots and all the different settings come in very handy to change the mood of the pictures. (experiment, the settings arent engraved in stone, just helpful hints.) The only major issue I have with the camera is that it takes a while to "click in" when changing the focus of the frame. All in all I have to say this is a great camera."
