A camera that doesn't cause my wife to close her eyes!! |

| My wife and I have tried various cameras, but nearly all of them result in photos where her eyes are closed. It became a bit of a family joke, but it's actually very frustrating. Several years ago her sister bought a Kodak camera and the photos were terrific, so we bought a Kodak V603 and loved it. No more closed eyes, wonderful colors, great Schneider lens, and it had a nifty little video camera included, was compact, etc. It just recently broke, so we were in the market for a new camera. Luckily, Kodak was just about to release this 580, also with a Schneider lens.
The camera arrived today, is still compact (though a little bigger than our V603), has a much larger viewing screen, and easy to use buttons. The first few photos resulted in her eyes partially closed, but once I selected the "Red-Eye Preflash" option everything was great. Photo after photo and eyes were wide open and beautiful! We're very pleased. The video looks great and should be just as easy to pull off the camera as in earlier versions. We don't really need the 14 Megapixels (who really does?), but I guess one never knows when we might need to blow up a photo to billboard size. Also, the "blue" color is much cooler than expected -- it's really more like a steel blue. The strap took 10 seconds to put on and it took just a few minutes to navigate the directories, set the date & time, and to insert the battery and memory card (memory was purchased separately). I suggest watching the price, because it will undoubtedly drop. Also, each time I checked the listing over the first week of sale the seller changed between Amazon and independent retailers. Something to keep in mind as you calculate shipping and return policies. |

| I was hesitant to buy this camera since there seemed to be very few reviews, and of those there were, half were great and the other half were terrible. Well, I am glad that I bought this camera. I am familiar with Kodak cameras, as my last camera was a Kodak Easyshare V1253. This camera is great! The flash is incredibly strong, and pictures taken come out brilliantly lit, and the colors are amazing. I took a simple picture of my kitchen, and I was amazed at how beautiful the picture looked! I didn't even realize my kitchen looked like that! Really though, I haven't found any problems with this camera yet. The video it takes is nice quality, but the camera's sound itself is quite quiet. That's to say that, when reviewing videos taken, it's hard to hear what I videotaped. BUT, I'm sure the sound will be fine once the video will be played on a computer or such. I don't have anything bad to say about this camera. I love the 8x zoom, the wide angle lens... everything. If you are not sure whether to buy this camera, I would say to definitely at least give it a try. I find going to Best Buy and playing with the cameras VERY helpful. You can hold the camera you might end up buying in your own hands, and play with the settings, and see how the general photo quality is. In conclusion, this camera is great!! |
