Died for no reason overnite!
Pros:
Turn on and go. Both vid and camera
Cons:
shutter delay. Stopped working after only 1 year.
The Bottom Line:
I wouldn't suggest it. My grandfather's camera from 1950's is still working today. Where is that quality in our products today?

Author's Review
Used it the night before, went to use it again that following morning and it was like looking thru a funny mirror, or as another person described it, it was like paint dripping. I let it sit for 24 hours, changed batteries..not the cause of course, but hey I tried. No warning signs...and I take meticulous care of my camera, not user induced... strange! And disappointing to say the least! Up to now, this camera has been great.. even took great night pictures. Not worth the money if it only lasts a year. I used this camera daily, enjoyed taking pictures, the lag on the shutter was very annoying however...sometimes it would just take so long before the picture actually took that the subject had already changed or fled the scene! LOL!
I liked the way I was able to use the camera right away, without a real 'learning' curve. It was easy.
Kodak outsources its customer help, so you arent going to get a native english speaking agent and THAT is annoying as well. I hope this was a fluke and you arent reading this review because you now have only results that look like paint dripping!
The videos that I took were great, but when I wold review them on my camera, there was no sound...so the first few that I took I deleted thinking the sound feature was non existant and I was not going to mess with it. Then I loaded one onto the computer about a month later into owning it, and the sound worked fine in playback. So that is definitely a negative feature. If you want to hear what it sounded like before you save it or redo the video, you cannot with this camera. Also, it is extremely wind sensitive... any bit of a puff of wind and it sounds like the wind is hitting a hurricane level.
