This camera arrived just a few days before a trip to Taiwan / Macau and I took the instruction book to read on the plane. I'd damaged my previous camera (also a Kodak EasyShare) and although it had resumed working, I took this one as a backup. It was great! It held up through all sorts of weather and packing, took short videos when wanted, even had a "museum" feature that allowed me to take great photos in the Maritime Museum in Macau. It runs on AA batteries and lasts plenty long--all in all, I was very happy with it and with the quality of photos it produced. Remember to use the ISO feature in the evening, get up close whenever possible for the sharpest photos, and unless you are shooting for a magazine, you'll probably be happy with it. I am still using both cameras, have tons of good photos and video--

Hi I just thought I would like to rate this camera because I read a couple bad things about it and they are probably the user fault not the cameras. It has lot of options when it comes to taking pictures and also had lots of easier options for the people who are not that good at digital cameras. I also like the fact that you can crop rotate and enhance your pictures right on the camera instead of downloading them and doing them on another program. I love the color. It also came with a battery charger and the batteries have lasted above expectations. Someday though I hope to use this camera for all of it abilites there is a lot of thigs you can do.

I love this little pink camera from amazon.com. It helps you to take great pictures. I would give it five stars but it eats batteries and mine has the + and - in the battery compartment in the wrong place. As others say invest in rechargable battery. I have Duracell power pix now but the kodak website gives you a 10% discount on the rechargeable ones for being a new customer when you register the camera. You can not hear video sound from the camera but when you put the videos on the computer you can hear the sound very good and for a mother of a 7 month old it is very exciting to catch your child saying momma!! I hope to get her first steps also.

After having a Kodak Easy Share in the past, I thought it was time to upgrade.
This camera eats batteries up like nothing! I have put about 12 batteries in this camera within a month. I now have the rechargable type, but they still drain very fast.
I have contacted Amazon and they are sending a replacement (within 1-2 months!!) Hopefully the new one will be better or this model is history!

My husband bought this camera for me for Christmas to replace my Sanyo camera that my 1 year old broke, and I have to say that I am glad that he did brake that camera because I absolutely love this one! My sanyo was just a 6 mega pixel and my pictures now compared from then are much better.It has a setting for taking pictures of moving children which really comes in handy for parents with active children. I have been taking pictures non stop of my children since i got it, the only downside is that it eats batteries, the Kodak batteries that came with it only lasted for 2 hours , i suggest investing rechargeable ones, the Duracell rechargeable batteries are great for this camera it has been 3 days since i recharged my batteries and they are no where near dying.

When you buy this camera,you should understand that it is a POINT&SHOOT not an SLR.Regardless of all the bells and whistles Kodak puts on this camera it will always be a POINT&SHOOT.It works well outside in the open.It will do the job most of the time in the open shade.Any other area or condition needs the flash which is only marginal.I shot approximatley 1200 pictures with my c913 before even considering writing a review.Two thirds were good pictures(speaking of the camera,not my ability which is questionable).The other third were useless and it actually was mostly the camera's fault (I know,I know).Trying to shoot low light-no flash or messing with all the ISO settings usually messed up the picture.So if you want to do SLR photography buy an SLR.If you want a camera that cost less than $100.00,works for snap shots and can be tossed in the dumpster if it breaks down after 12 months(that would be a little less than $8.50 a month for a disposable camera)this would be a reasonable choice.

This product is excellent. I had read that the camera went through batteries real quick, however after using this camera for several weeks now, I have not had to replace the batteries yet. I do recommend turning the camera off between pictures, as this is what I do and still have not had to change them.

The camera needs to be handled delicately in the area of the battery/SD card area, the parts seem to be plastic and flimsy, the door doesn't always close flush so you have to keep trying to get the door to close properly. I like the Pink camera but next time will stick with the Nikon versions, they are better quality. Nancy

I have owned several models of EasyShare cameras over the years, and I can't brag about them enough! All of the models are easy to use, especially this one. I take great, colorful pictures, can transfer them easily to the computer, can access them anytime easily, can't say the word EASY enough! (Several of the pictures I have taken with them have been entered in art shows) Take a chance, you won't be sorry. If you are afraid of digital cameras, afraid you won't be able to figure out how to use it...again, do not fear! These cameras and the programs they come with make it all so very easy.

This camera takes great pictures, and has a lot of cool features that make it really easy to get a good shot no matter what kind of lighting or situation you're in. I have had a few big problems with it though, one being every so often it will decide that my memory card needs formatting and won't turn on until I do it. It also tells me if I format it, it will delete everything off of it. Then I turn it on and off a couple times (usually 4-6) and it'll be fine again. I've missed a few really good shots at concerts or the zoo because it wouldn't turn on when I needed it to.
Also when I plug it into my computer, unless I go in and actually transfer the pictures one by one on my own, it will decide which ones it wants to transfer and which ones it does not and proceeds to delete the pictures that it doesn't want to transfer. This really sucks because I've lost a lot of really good pictures this way.

All in all, for the money, it's a good little cheap camera, just not very convenient.
