"I absolutely love this camera. We had a Konica Minolta that is not even close. This stitches the pictures together for a huge panoramic shot...right in the camera. No other software needed! It takes practically unlimited digital movies, that can be played back right in the camera or on the computer.
I would have given it 5 stars except that the software appears to crash my computer (VISTA ;-( that I hate) another review said you have to charge it on the computer, you don't there is a seperate charging plug, and you can also keep an extra battery charged up to replace as needed. (which is the case with most digital cameras) For the price it is really good. The zoom is not the best, but hey, you can't have everything. If you need a panoramic camera that takes great quality movies in HD, this is the one. "

    "I've had this camera for over a year, and it is still by far the best bang for your buck. The HD looks nice on a 16X9 TV, the pictures are ALWAYS high res, and colors are usually pretty well balanced. A little something I found randomly on the camera that has been a ton of fun is the panoramic mode that "stitches" the 3 shots you took together for a live preview in a few moments. One thing I would suggest for sure though is a hard case to protect it. The shutter release is kinda delicate and I've had to get it repaired, but this camera is a blast. "

    "Beautiful HD images, the best video camera I've ever owned, massive and clear display. Seems solid, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I've had bad luck with the reliability of previous Kodak cameras. You need to buy the HD dock to view in HD on a TV directly from the camera. "

    "i have had many camera's. i am always taking pictures and so when i dragged my video and still camera to a cheer competetion for my niece, i noticed a man reviewing his video taping he had just done on this little camera. needless to say i asked him what model number and went right home and ordered one on Amazon. i ordered it on Friday and it was to me by Tuesday, amazing. i had it in time to take pictures at my mother in law's 80th birthday and they turned out fantastic! Saturday i took video inside a moon bounce of my grand children and the movie was crystal clear. this little camera is just what i have been waiting for. i can't wait to take it to Las Vegas next year. "

    "First of all, make sure your lens is clean. I had a fingerprint smudge on mine, but after cleaning it my pix were still blurry. Go to Kodak's website and update your firmware, easy to do! This helped with other issues I was having with this camera, but didn't help with the blurry pix. This is what did help with the blurry, grainy pix. . . turn off your camera and take out the memory card. Now, take a picture using the internal memory. When I did this, I saw a remarkable difference in my picture quality. I was so relieved because then I knew the problem wasn't with the camera. I finally had a sharp, clear picture once again! I had not formatted my new memory card. I thought you just bought one and put it in the camera! I missed so many great shots over the holidays because of my own dumbness, how frustrating! Now, reinsert the memory card into the camera and format it by first pushing the Menu button, then go to Setup, then scroll down until you come to format. Caution: this will remove all pictures from your internal memory and from the card, so make sure you transfer them prior to doing this. Hope this helps those of you out there who are as "untechnical" as I am. I was about ready to give up on my camera, thinking it was damaged or was just a dud.
