I brought this Camera about 3 months ago now. I brought it on a very good deal...

~ Information ~
------------------------
My Camera is actually Red compared to the black one shown in the picture, but it is availble in both colours.
The Camera is 10.2 megapixals and it has a 2.7" LCD screen on the back of the camera which is very good quality and great as you can see the whole picture, my last camera had a very small screen and this was hard to see at times. On the back as i've said is the screen and also the buttons, there is a round button in which you turn around to change it onto Video, Auto and some other settings which to be honest i don't know what they are as i don't use them. Also the Zoom in & out button at the top, Ok & direction button, delete, menu, preview & a share button.
The buttons are fairly small, so if you have big fingers or bad eye sight this may be a little tricky.
The Turn on/ Off button is on the top of the camera with the flash & the button you use to take the picture.

The Zoom is a 3x optical zoom with a 5x advanced zoom (i think the advanced zoom is when it's done the 3x zoom, it still carrys on but the quality isn't as good?) The 3x Zoom is brilliant and the picture is still a really good quality. The 5x zoom i used to the max and it was good, but a little fuzzy. This could have been because i was taking a picture of a picture?

The camera is light and small so easy to keep in your bag or even in your pocket. It weighs 117g and is 92 x 56.5 x 22.7 (Width, Height & Diamiter)

It has a face detection, so when your taking a picture it will dectect the face this is a handy feature especially if your moving while taking the picture.
You can also take pictures in different modes Black & White, Sepia etc...

~Memory / Memory Cards ~
------------------------------------

One down side to the camera is that is doesn't come with a memory card so you have to purchase one speratly.
The camera does have a built in 32MB which is good but if your going on holiday or something your going to need more memory.
I brought a Boots own memory card 2GB and i can hold just over 700 photos, the camera takes an SD card.

~ Uploading Pictures / Developing ~
------------------------------------------------- -
Getting your pictures onto your PC is really easy, it comes with a USB cable which you simply put one end into your camera & the other into your computer, wait 3 seconds & a little menu comes up.. press OK & your pictures will show up then you can select which ones you want on your computer. Easy as that!
Developing- I developed my pictures on a Kodak instant machine i put the SD card into the slot and followed the instructions, when the pictures came out they were really good quilty and i was impressed!

~ In The Box? ~
------------------------
In The Kodak box you will find your camera, USB cable, Charger & Charger accessiores, a lead thing to put onto your camera so you can strap it around your hand, Kodak CD for your computer, Instruction booklet & Garentee booklet. It is a small box so if you want to keep it then it's easy to store away.

~ Price & where to get it? ~
------------------------------------
I Paid just over £60.00 for my Camera as it had 1/3 off from Boots & then i got a little extra off on top of that.
In Boots it is priced at £198.32 but it's on offer at £78.32 which is good value.
Amazon has it for £146.06.

Overall this camera is brilliant and i'm really impressed by the big screen and zoom quality. 5*s from me as i have so far come across no faults!
