Advantages: Easy to use, good battery life, nice quality pictures, short delay between click and capture.

Disadvantages: Quite a bright flash if your not expecting it!

Upon recieving this present for my birthday last year, I quickly noticed that this camera is very tidy with a good layout. When you purchase the camera you also get a wide range of extras including a carry case, charger, multi regional adaptors, USB cables and a mount for charging. When trying to use it the first time it was very simple, with a clear instruction manual. The LCD screen on the back of the camera is also quite large, quite unlike many of the less expensive cameras at the time. The optical zoom is also sufficient enough for a small compact digital camera such as this.
In terms of price range you could expect to see this camera at £50 to £65 at the moment, though it is a slightly older model now therefore some maybe available in clearance reduced even further!

Some basic information on the camera I missed out, it's a 8.2 megapixel camera with 6 capturing modes, one basic video capture mode, then 5 others including Auto, Digital Image Stabilisation mode (reducing shakes and movement), Close-up mode (quite good for the generic myspace photo), Portrait (mainly for full frame photos encompassing alot) and a High ISO setting for catching photos at very low lighting conditions.

After using this camera to take a multitude of photos from holidays and nights out I decided I needed to put them onto my computer. This was relatively simple with the USB cables being available and the software being very simple to use.

Summary: A giant leap forward for Kodak kameras.
