Advantages: Good quality pictures.

Disadvantages: A lot of faults

I recieved this digital camera as a present during the Christmas of 2007. The 8 Mega Pixel digital camera is not too reliable. Not for every day use. May I say, I am not entirely thrilled with it. I have had some problems with it, and five months on I'm considering on getting another camera. First problem is, it takes pictures by its self with out me clicking the shutter. This maybe a faulty product, but it doesn't do Kodak any justice. The second problem I've had with it, was the lens got jammed some how, and it stopped working for a month. I'm not sure what caused the jamming, but it did it my its self. I was not in the slightest impressed. The lens is now lose and wiggly. Another fault is the flash doesn't work some of the time. What use is that?
The good points however, the quality of pictures is incredible The menu is relatively easy to use, and if you delete pictures by mistake then it's easy to undo. The camera comes in various colours, such as silver, black, and red. It takes MicroSD cards to store the pictures, I'd reccommend an 8gb one if you take a lot of pictures. I find that the Kodak software crashes a lot on my Windows Vista laptop. And its user interface is quite hard to use. Quite unorganized. Overall I'd say it is a decent camera, however if you have the option of getting another camera take the chance!

Summary: A nice, sleek designed camera. Really shouldn't be used everyday.
