Vicky, Kellett

+ Excellent size, fantastic quality pictures and really great to use. Various features have meant I can get a perfect picture almost every time.

- Hard to get stable pictures all the time, the hand that indicates blurriness seems to be amber most of the time, even when you are stood perfectly still.

George, London

+ I like the sleek size. Though small, it is loaded with a lot of features. I am yet to develop and print the pictures I have taken with the product. I would therefore not be able to comment on the image quality.

- Product did not come with users manual. I have to go the the kodak website to learn about some aspects of how to use some of the product features. It means that without access to the internet there are some features I would not be able to learn how to use.

Eleisha, Lewes, East Sussex

+ I like the noise it makes, which adds to the experience of using it. It is small, light and transportable. Not needing to squint with one eye into the camera due to the large screen display, and not needing to crouch or climb with the machine to get the right angle, is quite liberating. The hand strap is a useful security measure.
I am still getting used to all of the computerized features, which I am finding uses for.
.

- In order to do everything that I thought it would do, I needed to buy extra products. The inbuilt memory is not very large, and the camera needs to be kept re-charged (which I wasn't used to, having been accustomed to having used a manual SLR for many years). Also, not being used to the video function, I have had some surprising pictures, because there is a time delay between depressing the button and the machine recording the shot. The buttons are quite small, and it is a bit bothering when they don't seem to work; the problem is usually that the camera needs re-charging; it may be that the details are fragile, vulnerable and non-replaceable. Therefore, whereas my old SLR is still running beautifully when its casing has worn thin through so much use, I have a fear with the digital one that it might not last very long (although I hope that it does).

+ It's a fantastic little camera with expert quality! It was perfect for my trip to Italy and now at Uni because it fit in every purse and handbag and it is so easy to use. There are no tricky buttons and one can really get the best quality out of it even if you are allergic to reading directions and manuals. Overall it was a really good purchase and I love it!!

+ Light, compact, easy to use, good quality photos, lots of features. One of the things I like most is that it has a rechargable battery which lasts for a long time before it needs to be recharged. I especially like being able to change the number of pixels. Good range of colorus. Very impressed with it and have already recommended it to other people.

- Can't think of any.

- It took me a while to figure out how to use it as I didnt think there was sufficient written instructons with it, also there was no mention of having to buy the memory card separately. Some of the photos have excellent picture quality and some of them are dark. I found the buttons abit small and fidgety.

Product Features

Camera Type	Compact
There are 2 main types of camera: The SLR and the Compact. SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras use a prism to reflect the exact image as seen through the lens and so offers a more accurate viewfinder. SLR cameras have detachable lenses offering greater flexibility if you wish to take a variety of different photographs. Compact cameras have a built in lens and an ‘above lens’ viewfinder which is less accurate but they are often cheaper, more sleekly designed and easier to carry anywhere with you to capture that moment perfectly without having to fiddle with complex settings or a bag full of lenses.
resolution (Megapixel)	10.16

Optical Zoom Ratio	3
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
Screen Size in Inches	2.5
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Digital Zoom Ratio	4
Not to be confused with optical zoom, digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image thus simulating optical zoom. In doing so, some image quality is lost.
Face Recognition	No
A function for automatically detecting peoples faces and correctly adjusting the focus and exposure to take the best photo
Image Stabilisation	No
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images. It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.
Colour	Multi
The main colour of the product.
Memory Card Slot	Yes
Having a memory card slot allows you to save data to a memory card and then transfer it to another device. For example you may put a photo from your camera or mobile phone onto a memory card and then plug it into your printer to print directly. Memory card slots come in many formats: Compact Flash Card Memory Stick Duo Micro SD Card MMC SD Card SDHC Card
Media Format	SD Card
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
Media Format	MMC Card
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
PictBridge	Yes
An industry standard allowing images to be printed from camera to printer, without needing a computer. CIPA PictBridge Standard Website
Macro Mode	Yes
This mode allows close-up photograpy of small objects such as insects and flowers.
Video Recorder	Yes
Video recording functionality allows the capture of videos in mpeg or avi format which is great if you want to capture a whole scene, not just one moment.
Manual Focus	No
Almost all modern cameras have autofocus. Manual focus allows you to override the autofocus and set the distance yourself. This is especially useful if your camera is struggling to focus in a low-light or confusing scene.
Timer	Yes
Having a timer function is essential if you want to get into the shot yourself. Make sure your camera has this feature if you plan to go on holiday and capture photos of you and your friends or family having fun together.
Under Water	No
An under water feature means your camera is safe to dive with, usually between 3 and 5 metres. Most dSLR cameras will require expensive separate housing so consider investing in a waterproof digital compact first.
Dimensions (mm)	54.5x103x25
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
Weight (g)	141.5
The weight of the product in grams.
Flash	Yes
Whether or not your camera has an in-built flash. Flashes are essential for fully capturing a low light image.
Resolution (Pixels)	3738x2776
A camera sensor, that captures the photograph, is measured in pixels. The number given here is the horizontal amount of pixels followed by the vertical quantity of pixels. The more pixels a camera sensor has, the bigger and higher quality the image will be.
Shortest Shutter Speed	2000
This is the fastest speed at which the camera can take a photo. Faster shutter speeds really freeze the action and are great for sports photography.
Longest Shutter Speed	8"
This is the longest exposure your camera will take. The longer you take a photo for, the more light is let in and the more motion is captured. Long shutter speeds can give fantastic, artistic results. Try photographing the night sky at 30s or longer to see how the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to curve through the scene.
Max. Aperture Lens 1	f2.8-4.9
Measured in f-stops the aperture of a lens dictates the maximum amount of light captured. If you want to do low light photography look for something with a wide aperture like f2.8. The widest aperture is given as a range as it changes when your lens is zoomed in.
In-Built Memory (MB)	32

USB Port	Yes
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
WiFi	No
Wifi allows you to connect your device to wireless routers or modems which allows you to connect to broadband internet.
