Kodak 256 MB XD-Picture Card (650590130320)

THIS IS A BASICALLY GOOD DIGITAL CAMERA. IT HAS A FLASH THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO ME AT NIGHT FOR NO MORE THAN 8 FT WHICH WAS SOMEWHAT SHORT I THOUGHT. IT WAS HARD TO CENTER WITH THE SIZE LCD SCREEN AND MANY TIMES USED THE VIEWFINDER. BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS IF YOU COULD GET MORE THAN 20 TO 25 PICTURES PER FRESH AA SET OF BATTERIES YOU WOULD BE LUCKY. ALWAYS BROUGHT LOTS OF EXTRA CHARGED BATTERIES. LASTED UNDER 250 PICTURES TAKEN BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE EXTERNAL MEMORY SD CARD. THEN USED INTERNAL. SHORTLY AFTER THE CAMERA DIED AND WOULD NOT POWER UP. BOUGHT A POLAROID 5.0 MP CAMERA TO REPLACE WITH WHICH COST ME $69.99 ON SALE AND AM HAPPY WITH THIS CAMERA.

GOOD FOR GREAT 8" X 10" ENLARGEMENTS EVEN ON YOUR OWN PRINTER. EASY CAMERA TO USE. NICE KODAK CD PROGRAM FOR PHOTO SHOP. UNFORTUNATELY COULD NOT USE WITH MY LINUX COMPUTER AND HAD TO USE AN LP PHOTO LINUX SUPPORTED PROGRAM WHICH IS NOT AS GOOD. ANOTHER COMPAC MICROSOFT PC COMPUTER I HAVE CAN USE THE KODAK PROGRAM. HOPEFULLY KODAK IN THEIR NEWER MODELS CAN OVERCOME THIS EXCESSIVE BATTERY USE. OTHER REVIEWS HAVE SEEN ON THIS CAMERA INDICATE THAT SOME OTHERS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED A SHORT USEFUL LIFE-ONE SAID GREAT DISPOSABLE CAMERA AS THEY ONLY GOT 200 SHOTS OR SO. EXPLAINATION WAS THEY COULD ONLY USE KODAK BATTERIES.

BATTERY LIFE IS TERRIBLE AND FROM COULD SEE LIFE CYCLE FOR A NUMBER OF THIS MODEL CAMERAS MAKES A VERY EXPENSIVE CAMERA PER SHOT.
