 I think I just wasn't lucky enough December 10, 2007
I bought this camera on April 2007, and I have to say that I was really excited with its performance. I took great pictures, considering my amateur level. Unfortunately, by November 2007 it got broken.
Without any notice, from one day to another, it showed a 'tick'. The image in the viewfinder or LCD goes up and down continuously, making a still pic or exposition almost impossible.
I wont give one star to this camera because during the time I used it (about 6 months) I thought it was great for its price. For the time being, I will fire my last shot to Kodak US, since the local repair center couldn't fix the problem... =( (I got the camera via Amazon, I live outside US).
Wasn't I just lucky enough?

 FABULOUS CAMERA ~ FAST SERVICE November 25, 2007
I love this Kodak camera. It has everything I need and takes great quality pictures.
 Just short of perfect for me October 27, 2007

I have had this camera for several months now, and being a mom, I have used this camera in dark gyms, recorded video, in bright sun light, and while chasing kids with the sports setting. I purchased this camera as an upgrade to my Minolta Dimage Z1. I wanted more mp because I do a lot of cropping and editing. For me, sometimes its not what you are intending to shoot, that makes the best picture.
Pros:
It has some really great features, not found on other cameras. This is what makes this camera hard to pass up. I love the 12x optical zoom. It even allows you to zoom while recording video (not a feature I can find in most other digi cameras).
I purchased the docking station, and now never have to worry if I have batteries. I just put my camera on the dock, and its charged and ready to go.
The battery life is the best of what I have had so far and this is my 4th digital camera.
The controls at the top allow you to make quicker decisions about zoom and what kind of setting to use .
Internal memory can come in handy for emergency back up.
Cons:
The features are great, but there is a down side. I am picky about picture quality. Pictures that look great to a novice will drive me insane in editing. With this camera, there is a lot of editing to do.
Red eye reduction doesn't reduce red eye that well. Pictures that have been zoomed into do not have enough light for the proper exposure.
What you see in the LCD isn't necessarily what you get.
Some pictures come out too vivid, almost fake or cartoonish in color rendition. I haven't figured out why this happens yet.
I want a point and shoot camera, not a new hobby doing photo touch-ups. I need to shoot in the moment, while the kids are running, when they are doing something cute (which doesn't last very long). The last thing I want to worry about is finding the proper settings for the environment I am in.
So, in summary, this camera is great for taking relaxed shots if you pose your family, sell on ebay, shoot landscapes, where you can control your enviroment and subject or play with the settings.
If you are picky like me and want a true point and shoot, great pictures, without having to make adjustments, or spend hours editing later, then this camera may be an issue for you.
Had to send in twice for repair October 13, 2007
While I am happy with the performance of this camera, I have had to return it twice for repairs within 6 months of purchase. First the Auto focus had to be adjusted and recalibrated within a month of purchase, then I recently had to return it because the mode selection dial stopped working. I am a bit afraid that this camera will need to be replaced as soon as the warranty runs out...
Wonderful camera August 9, 2007

This camera is lightweight and very easy to use. It has so many features that I haven't had time to learn about all of them yet. Unlike several other cameras I've had this one has controls that are much easier to get to.
I'm enjoying this camer immensely. The picture quality is terrific.
