Kodak Easy Share is good but its features are bad. I have unfortunately this alien for last 3 months. When i try to shoot any snap all mood is low from its poor performance. Slow and no functions are understandable for me. I say bad bad bad.
I've had this camera for two years now and I've really grown to dislike it. It takes awful pictures and it is difficult to change the settings to make them look good. I just got a Canon PowerShot SD1000 and it amazes me after having this piece of crap for two years.
Pros: small and easily pocketable. cool looking.
Cons: screen will break eventually. bad picture quality.
This camera LCD screen sux, it gets fingerprints on it way too easily! It brakes and is not worth the price! Buy a new type! And why cant you have a rating of 1? Its rigged!
(should be 1 not 2)I had it for a year and then the power failed! To was going to be too expensive to get it fixed! Bought another battery charger costing $100 and that didn't work. So for a $350 camera it is not worth it! Brakes way too easy! But when it was working very handy but screen got dirty easy
I researched quite a while before finally purchasing this camera, which was on special. It turned out to be a great purchase. I took it skiing with me and it bundled all my photos and video from the week into a 1 Gb SD Card. But I took it boating with me on a later date, and I dropped it into some very salty water. Hmm... not good. So don't try doing this.
Pros: Small size. Easy to use. Great selection of shooting modes. Its VIDEO! Superb video quality for such a little camera. Rechargeable, just connect it to the mains! The best thing was simply connecting it up to your TV and replaying the videos and photos. The TV becomes the main screen for the camera. Cool!
Cons: Using the zoom in when taking videos creates a terrible noise. So don't zoom in video mode. Annoying kodak software. Just use what comes with XP. Non waterproof.. d'oh!!
Owned camera 1 week, 1 day full use and it simply stopped working. Store I purchased at directed me to Kodak. Kodak sent me to Precision repair shop, where I guess they could not fix it. Kodak sends me a refurbisehed Black camera. I had purchased a brand new RED camera paid alot more to get the red camera. I don't feel it is an even deal. I only used the camera ONE time. Call Kodak, after speaking to 7 different customer service people and a mean supervisor, I have a black camera that will probably brake soon. I have just found reviews that are negative. I guess the camera does not last long. I have always purchased Kodak cameras. Kodak lost a customer and many of my friends. Beware very bad customer service at KODAK. As far as I am concern 1 use/ 1week owning it KODAK ROBBED me!
After watching the latest Bond film, we're beginning to wonder whether Bond's so angry just because of all the products he's meant to spruik. We wonder whether he's reading this story right now on his Intel-inside PC...
As long as you don't need seriously high-resolution photos, video capture, or machine-gun-fast sports shooting, the Nikon D700 has everything you need in a pro full-frame camera for a reasonable price.
It's difficult — but not impossible — to find a snapshot camera with the chops to capture scenic vacation vistas or real-estate interiors. CNET.com.au rounds up five snapshot digital cameras with wide-angle lenses.
Adobe Systems on Monday launched a technology called Pixel Bender that brings new effects to Photoshop — and some new work for often-idle computer graphics chips.
From the outside, the V1273 exudes sophistication due to its metal/plastic construction and touchscreen. Sadly, lacklustre performance lets this cheerful camera down.
