 Returned it in 30 Mins October 31, 2008

I ordered this camera from Amazon and it came in no time flat which was great. Unfortunately the camera is going back in less than 1 hour of ownership. I took the camera out of the box and loaded it with an 8 GB SD Card and tried out the video recording capability. Now this camera can record at 720P and it records in Quicktime MOV. I have a Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook and the video was completely out of sync, grainy and washed out. I wonder if mine was defective because the video was NOTHING like I had seen on the online sharing sites.

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.
Great all-around camera October 16, 2008
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.
Still Best Bang For Your Buck October 6, 2008
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.

I bought this as an anniversary gift for my husband. His first was a Kodak 4MP which died after about two years, and we were unsure whether the kids played and dropped it so that it would not turn on anymore. My husband loved the qualities of the photos then, despite the shutter lag (which was a pain when taking "kodak" moments).
So I bought him this new one (which eliminated that shutter lag problem) and we were very happy with it initially. This time we made sure it is safe from the kids. My husband had been particularly careful handling it (it was expensive at $297 bought at Best Buy!) but suddenly, it would have lots of horizontal white lines when taking photos, worse when outdoors using natural light! I tried to check the photos by inserting the SD card to my printer slot, and they were still there (so it was not the LCD that was the problem). The troubleshooting page of Kodak determined the problem as something I could not fix and that they would have to repair for FREE since it was within warranty. I wonder how long it would work ok after repair? Sent the camera (we paid for shipping) last week. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
So if you are seriously considering buying this camera, think again...
