 "Survived the hands of orphans in Africa" 2010-03-29
By Leslie (Everett, Washington United States)
Have kids? Fumble a lot? Just want an extra durable camera? Then get this one. My Kodak has been dropped countless times over and over again by kids in an orphanage who all fight over who gets to take pictures. Though it had a crack in the frame, it has not stopped working, which was quite the relief when I was first mortified and watched it drop.



The camera is just as good as any other point-and-shoot camera out there for those of us who aren't professionals or aren't extremely picky and just want a small camera to carry around. Sometimes indoor lighting doesn't work too well, but otherwise I have been extremely happy with the outcome of my pictures.



But seriously, what makes me give great reviews is the incredible durability I have found in the camera. It's been dropped all over South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe... this thing survives rock, sand, dirt, and grimy hands.

 "Lens focus noise is my biggest concern." 2010-02-01
By Byran
Likes:

- Small enough to carry in pocket.

- Battery life okay but I'd suggest getting a second as backup.

- Focuses and shoots fast. (already on)

- Smart capture usually takes the best/easiest photos.

- Zoomable while recording video.

- Long video record times. 30 mins. I think.

- Hi resolution video.



Dislikes:

- Sometimes, if the battery dies while the lens is extended it gets stuck out until you can get power to it again. When that happens, I usually wait a minute for the battery to regain a little juice then quickly turn it on and off to get the lens retracted. This is a bad design flaw. My old Kodak EasyShare DX6490 4MP Digital Camera with 10X Optical Zoom was smart enough to not allow you to extend the lens without enough juice and always retracted it just before dieing.

- The lens is starting to make focusing noises after 2 months. My DX6490 did the same thing after 1+ years. You could hear the noise in recored videos.

- Takes too long to shoot from being off and takes too long to turn off.

- Switching between modes is a little slow because you have to go into the mode menu (dedicated button).

- I assumed you'd be able to select aperture & shutter priority with this camera but you cannot. You can use presets like macro and landscape to suggest what you want but it's not the level of control I was looking for.



Disclaimer: I've only owned Kodak EasyShare cameras. So I have no experience with other brands. I've liked my past Kodaks enough to continue to buy them.

 "Not worth it :(" 2010-01-31
By Beachgirl
I typically love kodak and this is roughly my 5th Kodak Easy Share and I have been satisified with all of them. My last one broke after 1 1/2 years so I bought another one thinking it was a fluke. My current Easyshare M1093 did not live up to the quality I expect from Kodak. The majority of the pictures come out grainy and it does not take good pictures unless lit brightly. I switch to many different modes and none seem to help. Don't waste your money.

 "Great picutres but ..." 2010-01-18
By Ah Bel (Ottawa, Canada)
The qualify of the photos is very impressive, esp. with people. Really just point and shoot, and you get great shots. However, I really am disappointed with the following:



1. to switch to video takes too many steps



2. it is very easy to delete all photos while you are just trying to delete one



3. WORST, the Easyshare software (version 7.0) that came with the camera didn't work at all. Even after downloading the latest & greatest (version 8.0) from the Kodak website, it's still doesn't work. I chatted with Kodak support for like an hour, trying many things, and eventually, they just asked me to "clean up" (not just uninstall, but eradicate) Kodak Easyshare, and try the whole thing again. I haven't have the time to do so, so I'm just taking my SD card out to copy the photos/videos over for now.



Compare to Canon (I had a Canon A750), the Kodak Easyshare software is obviously & sadly inferior.
