Had a Canon before this and will go back in a heartbeat. I thought others had gotten a dud, but my pictures are blurry and grainy and I've tried all settings. I purchased this camera a few months ago, not from Amazon, but from Walmart. Had to let everyone know that the negative reviews are true. Also, it eats batteries--I changed them twice a day on a recent vacation.
Sometimes the pictures would also turn out great as well. This would be a nice camera for everyone if the camera's battery would last a lot longer and maybe the picture quality was a bit better. I had to keep changing batteries which was a pain to do and the pictures weren't that clear. My hugest complaint was once I took 12 pictures the battery was out. The battery life was terrible and the pictures were only decent. I loved this camera actually, I would also love to rate it 5 stars too. There was also a small learning curve with the camera too. Fortunately it was easy to take the battery in out, which I needed since I kept on replacing the battery and the video quality was pretty good.
I actually stopped putting vids on youtube after I got my new camera. I had to force them open and closed. I bought it because I could zoom in in video mode. I had it for almost a year. I hope this helps out somebody. Also due note that kodak cameras are not compatable with movie maker or windows media player on Windows and is also difficult to to put your videos on youtube.
I found out that expensive cameras are not the best cameras. I have always taken care of my camera. And then the shutters stopped opening. Because it was so annoying.
After claiming difficulty with my mailing address, seller was apparently content to use my money for a month and then return it. For their part, Amazon.com was very helpful. The only good thing about this purchase was getting my payment credited back to my account by the seller. My advice: don't do business with DealCrisis for your electronics needs- or anything else for that matter.
I WAS HAPPY ENOUGH WITH IT TO REPLACE IT WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION OF IT, THE KODAK EASYSHARE Z1485 CAMERA, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THAT THE Z1485 IS BETTER THAN THIS THIS CAMERA IN QUITE A FEW WAYS OTHER THAN THE INCREASE IN TOTAL AVAILABLE PICTURE ELEMENTS (PIXELS). THIS CAMERA IS BETTER IN MANY WAYS BUT NOT NEARLY IN ALL WAYS THAN COMPETING CAMERAS COSTING MUCH MORE MONEY. THE KODAK Z1275 CAMERA IS ESSENTIALLY IDENTICAL TO THE Z1285 FROM ANYTHING THAT I CAN SEE OTHER THAN ITS COLOR.Kodak EasyShare Z1485 14MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5 inch LCD (Black) Kodak EasyShare Z1485 14MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5 inch LCD (Blue) Kodak EasyShare Z1485 14MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5 inch LCD (Pink)
