Alan, Polperro, Cornwall

+ Manual operation very good and flexible. Good list of features and modes. Image quality excellent. Zoom is very good - even digital provides excellent images.

- I have so far found no seriously bad faults except at the moment I am finding battery life poor. This may be a battery problem - it is too early to tell. Lens cap is very easy to detach accidentally. Low light capability could be better but is acceptable.

Brenda, Pontefract

+ Great, light and easy to handle camera. Nice big LCD screen! Easy to undertsand and access features. Very pleased.

- The lens cap comes off all the time - its a very light fit.Presumably designed like this because lens pops out when camera turned on (lens then pops off).

Pyi, Nottingham

+ 6MB pixels which is pretty cool and 10x optical zoom is just perfect.

- bulky not suitable for taking snaps in night out parties. auto white balance settting is sort of annoying. Also easyshare software is not that necessary but still let my pc hang.

Ken, Darlington, County Durham

+ I disliked Kodak when they first produced digital cameras. They left a terrific amount to be desired. Now they are back on track, and hopefully will regain their deserved popularity.
Easy to handle and operate.
Clear and crisp photos even at maximum zoom.
A small camera with more features than a great deal of cameras triple the size.

- Access to Anti shake feature should be far easier. A far better strap should be provided with the camera.

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)	6.1

Optical Zoom Ratio	10
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
Screen Size in Inches	2
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Digital Zoom Ratio	5
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.
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
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.
Video Recorder	Movie and Voice
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	Yes
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.
Dimensions (mm)	80x100x70
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
Weight (g)	287
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)	2848x2144
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	1000
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	f2.8-3.7
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.
