This little camera was my best friend for several years.
I originally got it for my Yearbook class at school, but then took it everywhere with me and that is how I really first got into Photography.
It may have limitations, but limitations can't stop a true photographer. You have to improvise with what you have. Sometimes it would take 100 shots to get that one perfect shot, but once you got that one perfect shot, the rest were worth the hassle.
It was surprisingly extremely good at Macro Shots, which used to be one of my most favorite forms of photography.
Not very good with night photos, or long distance shots (the Zoom really dampened the quality of the photo)
The battery also never lasted very long, barely an hour or so, even when I got a brand new battery, so I always kept it charging/brought the charger with me on trips.
I finally got an upgrade to DSLR after having this camera for over 3 years. Now that it's at the end of it's life, the Battery barely stays charged for 10 minutes, it can't zoom out very far without dying, but I still keep it handy in case I don't have my bulky DSLR with me to get that quick shot.

I've got to say I love this 6.1MP Kodak digital camera, beside my Canon rebel Xsi of course (like a professional camera)... But for a small n convenience camera for on the go, nothing can be better than this v603 camera... When I bought this camera 3 years ago it was like $299 and now the price cannot get any better than this... This 6.1MP kodak took better picture than the 8MP Casio... Best pictures/videos quality... Trust me, u'll love the qualities that this camera offer... If this camera ever decide to say bye to me, I'm searching for another exact same one... =)

Pros-
The camera is adorable and tiny, with the easiest to use menu system I've seen on a camera.
Cons-
THE PICTURES!!! I had an old Kodak EasyShare that took great pictures. Unfortunately, it was stolen while I was on vacation and I bought this one. It takes terrible pictures! I can get decent shots outdoors in the bright sun, but anywhere else and they are dark and blurry, or with an unflattering flash. No matter how still I hold it, I get that stupid red hand.
Also, the body is falling apart, all the screws have fallen out.

I bought this camera 15 months ago and at first it worked great. I had an older model that my daughter dropped and was just past the warranty and it was going to cost $100 to fix so we opted to get a new and updated version for a few bucks more because it just wasn't worth fixing for so much money. The camera took nice enough basic pictures though I still had trouble with red eye, any pictures taken in low lighting came out dark, and enlarging shots after cropping made them grainy.
Then while taking some Easter photos of my girls the camera just went dead! I didn't drop it, or mistreat it having learned my lesson after the previous one! I kept getting an error message and thought it might be the battery so I bought a new one and tried that - still wouldn't work! The lend will not retract and the screen goes on for a few seconds and then goes black with an error message before shutting off! Of course it was going to be another $100+ to fix since it's past the warranty!
I have given up on Kodak! It's obvious that these cameras are not meant to last for long term and regular use! I have 2 small daughters and love taking pictures of them all the time! I was very disappointed that we could not get our Easter pictures this year!
Overall, if you're looking for a basic camera this is ok but beware after your warranty is up - these cameras are costly to fix!!

I've had this camera for about 15 months and really loved it at first. I was upgrading from an older camera that had seen better days, so this one seemed almost magical in comparison.
Pros:
1)The LCD screen is very nice.
2)Some of the features come in handy.
Cons:
1)It took great pictures at first, but then the pictures were very dark and blurry, for no reason. This is an off and on problem and doesn't make sense at all. From what I've read here, it happens often.
2)The software is a b!&@$. It completely takes over your computer! Instead of opening with Windows, the pictures on my computer started opening with the Kodak software, which is awkward at best. I wouldn't mind so much if I was trying to edit the pictures but it gets annoying when you're just looking at pictures. After searching their website for instructions on how to change that, I finally had to email them for directions (trying to change the installation didn't do anything to fix this, hence the email for directions). My computer is extremely slow if the software is running.
3)As another reviewer mentioned, the USB connection to the camera is very strange, for no apparent reason other than to get you to purchase the docking system. You can't just set the camera upright...that doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but for some reason it becomes one.
4)The volume on the video playback is very low. I've had it turned completely up and still can't hear it. Once the video is on the computer, it's perfectly fine. This is a pain when you are taking video to capture something said...you can't make sure it's correct.
5)I have noticed where the screws are starting to come loose on the bottom of the camera. Sure, I can screw them in but who wants to make sure the body of their camera is still together?
I think I will be selling my camera soon. I was hoping all this stuff was an easy fix but apparently the customer service isn't worth the hassle.
