Summary:

I love this video camera. It's easy to use and download to the internet.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the software included sucks.
I used to work in the software industry and I know decent software.
Media Impressions by ArcSoft is the worst piece of crap I have ever seen Kodak be associated with. It continually crashes. It takes an average of 6 to 7 attempts to import a video. Media Impressions crashes before the videos download and during the download process.

So, buy the camera but be wary about the software.

Here's a sample of a video I took entitled Casino Party Atlanta:

Strengths:

Easy to take videos
Easy to download
Fits in a pocket
Decent graphics

Weaknesses:

The included software, Media Impressions by ArcSoft sucks!
It does best with a tripod. Hand held videos can be a bit shakey.

Customer Service:

Kodak customer support referred me to ArcSoft
