Kodak - EasyShare 14.0-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

My son recently started playing high school football and although I have always loved our Sony Cyber Shot, the zoom capacity was just not up to par for getting great actions shots from the stands. I researched quite a few cameras over the last few weeks and finally decided on this Kodak. Wow! What an awesome camera. Takes great pictures, zoom is awesome and it's fairly easy to use. The 'Facebook' application is greatly appreciated as I can upload pics to Facebook and my home computer in one QUICK shot. You will need to buy a memory card though, which I didn't realize when I purchased the camera, but picked up one of those for under $20 so no biggie. Overall a great camera at a great price. Makes me feel like I'm taking professional shots! I'm going to include two shots that I was able to snap on the very first afternoon of use.........

First of all, if you are going by the pictures I've posted, they are much clearer in reality than they appear uploaded on the website. I've had my camera for about a week and have gotten some great photos out of it. Before I received it in the mail, I was searching youtube videos online to better understand the basics of photography. The videos helped me when I got the camera to adjust some settings(the aperture, flash setting, ISO, etc.) I've been using the program and manual modes and have gotten some great pictures by just trying to learn how the camera works. I will say, I've taken it to a school drum competition and the pictures weren't as clear as when I was taking care with every picture. The smart mode is a great feature that gets okay quality pictures, but so far they haven't been unbelievable quality in smart-capture mode. It DOES come with a charger, but it the batteries take 8-10 hours to charge. AA batteries work fine for a day of shooting. It's easy to carry extras with you. Also, if you are looking to getting into photography, this camera does not take lenses. That is something I overlooked, but no worries. I'm loving it, regardless. The macro+ setting works VERY well. Overall, I love my new camera. It's a great price for an upscale point and shoot. If you are willing to figure out how to make a good photo(which was fairly easy--watched a few videos and practiced on my own experimenting with settings), then I don't think you will be disappointed with the purchase.

This camera is better than what i thought it was going to be. I read the reviews and seen people say how it had horrible picture quality and shuts off all the time. The only thing i find difficult about this camera is getting it in the right settings to make the picture perfect. Im sure once i get down all the SWEET features it will work perfectly! The picture quality is great i stood on my back deck and took a picture of a bush about aprox. 100 yards away and it turned out great. LOVE THIS CAMERA. i took the picture below about 20 or 30ft away.

I just bought this camera today, and the batteries came halfway charged. I started taking pictures with it and was immediately impressed. The zoom is amazing and on smart capture, you can hold the shutter down and it will focus before snapping the shot on full zoom to get a clear picture! Also, the burst mode is awesome! It can take 3 pictures or 8 at once! Another thing is there is a tri-pod mount on the bottom of the camera and some reviews and websites said that it doesn't. The mount can also be used to attached the vertical grip but the grip is not necessary though to take vertical pictures, you can use your right pointer finger to switch from horizontal to vertical and then turn the camera vertically and snap the shot! Its as easy as that! Overall, great camera and I am very happy with my purchase!!!!!!

Love it! Love it! I was a little nervous because some reviews were a little negative. I decided to give it a try and if I didn't like it I would return it. I have enjoyed it ever since a took the first picture. Love the zoom! I bought the camera for a trip to Italy and can't wait to document our travels with my camera. I learned that the negative reviews about the battery door is factual; however, I have learned how to avoid difficulties. I just hold the door closed very tight before sliding the lock. It works every time and that negative is far outweighed by the great features and pictures.

I have had this camera for roughly 3 weeks now and am still learning the tricks and the trades of it. However, the picture quality and the zoom are awesome! Great value for the price and the quality that you receive from this camera!

Needed a good point & shoot to back up my digital SLR. This camera was a good choice to fill that need, especially with its' good quality 14mp. It is very easy to set up and use and it fits good in your hands. Zoom capability is excellent. The big LCD screen is also very useful The only downside to this camera, is the short battery life. When using the lcd screen during the day it shortens the use of the camera to only about 2 hours of use. Which is a hindrance if you are out and unable to recharge, especially difficult due to the time its takes to fully charge the batteries. Overall an excellent camera and I would recommend it to anyone. Price was above average but in my opinion the camera is an excellent choice.

Love this camera! I bought this camera mostly because I I already owned an older Kodak Point & Shoot and was very happy with it. I wanted something with more zoom & megapixels and this one was perfect. Love the zoom, it takes great long distance photos and the photos for the action shot are great too. I took this on vacation with me and am very happy with the results. Some people have claimed to have problems with the battery life but so far I haven't seen a problem. I did buy an extra set of batteries that can be recharge but I haven't had to use them yet. I do use the viewfinder almost exclusively though.
