  Good value and no frills - you don't really need frills any way!!!

PROS: For the price it has everything you need. Rechargeable batteries are a huge benefit. Alas, if similarly priced Canon's had rechargeable batteries, I would be writing a review on their camera now.

CONS: A little tough in terms of ergonomics, but it works. I have no opinion on the Kidak software because I have a Mac and iPhoto and it just works.

OVERALL SCORE:8/10

  good unless you are in the cold

PROS: Easy to use features, light, the editing program offered is decent. Plenty of optical zoom

CONS: Somewhat bulky and freezes up easily during the winter if in the cold for more then ten minutes. Takes a while to warm up afterwards to use when indoors again.

OVERALL SCORE:8/10

  Does everything easy, great pictures. Owned for 1.5 months.

PROS: Small and light to carry. 12X zoom lens with Image Stabilization, and auto popup flash is excellent.

CONS: None yet. Lithium - ion battery not readily available, suggest picking up a spare.

  Awesome Camera

PROS: 12 x Optical Zoom, Ease of Use, Price, Small Size

CONS: Requires the Series 3 Camera Dock which has been hard to find. On backorder from Kodak at $10 off retail.
