Takes wonderful Photos and the Menu is User Friendly!
1 of 1 found this helpful I'm no Photographer. But I do take photos almost daily for my style blog. So I have been using the Kodak for 2 months straight. The camera takes great pictures on the General Setting both indoors and out. I rarely have to switch settings unless I am in motion or taking a close-up. Then I simply switch to the reduce blur or close-up setting on top of the camera. I don't have to go into a menu to switch the settings.
The Menu is user friendly. My only complaint is that I can't choose to leave the self timer to on. Especially since I am taking self portraits all the time. After every 2 timed photo's, I have to reset the 2 shot timer. Especially when I have the camera set in a certain position to take a photo and have to pick it up to re-set the self timer. I also have issues when finding the menu to change the color settings. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.
The camera is larger than most compact digitals because it uses AA batteries. A rechargable compact battery would have been better.
For the price it was a no brainer choice for me. My friend also purchased the same camera that came with a 4" bendable tripod. She gifted the tripod to me since she knew I would use it more. I can hang the camera from a fence or tree branch, and set it just about anywhere and bend it to face up or down.
Before this camera I had a compact Olympus. The menu was confusing and the photo's were inconsistant. The auto setting took horrible indoor photos that lacked color. But it was smaller to set on narrow ledges, and had a compact battery that was easily rechargeable. The Olympus was a gift from my employer, so I have no idea what the price was. Sadly my son dropped it. But I replaced it with the Kodak and have no regrets.
