Value for money and easy to use
Got is around a week back. It is quite handy and easy to use point and shoot camera for starters. Most impressive thing one notices is the big bright LCD screen. Menu is easy to use and one can adjust various picture modes and also ISO settings. Pictures are quite compressed and 6MP images average between 0.9MB to 1.1MB only. Macro mode is better than one would expect from camera in this range. Other advantages are that it uses AA batteries and SD card (with 32MB internal memory). Pictures are bit grainy (noisy) compared to my canon A620 in low light. But this one costed around 1/2 the money I spent on A620. so I don't expect much from this camera. Overall happy so far. Look for sample images which I am going to load.

6.1 megapixels for less than $ 150
I purchased this camera this summer for $150. For some reason, this camera dropped in price during the summer. I heard that it was being discontinued. This is my 2nd Kodak digital camera. My first one took great pics, so I did not hesitate to buy the 643 model. I took this camera to Ft. Walton, Florida and it took pictures with fantastic color. I tried the long exposure taking pics at the pool during the evening. Those turned out very nice also. I don't use the video much. Any vibration in your hands(s) will show up in the video. My camcorder has Steady Shot to eliminate this. I use a 1 GB memory card which will hold 4,000 pics at 1024x768 resolution. The menu system is easy to navigate through. I have not tried all of the camera functions yet. I highly recommend this camera for less than $150.

An okay camera, would not suggest this one.
I was just your average person looking for a point and shoot camera that took clear pictures. This camera could not be easier to use.However, I took some pictures with it the night I bought it and was not impressed with the indoor shots, they were grainy looking.The next morning I took more pictures.When I went to review them on the camera a few came up, but there was also an "unrecognized file format" message.I thought maybe I did something wrong so I deleted it out and took more pictures.I reviewed the pictures I took (all of them were there) and I even cropped one of them and saved it.I turned the camera off for a minute and then back on again to take more pictures.Again, some pictures went missing and the "unrecognized file format" message appeared.The camera was very lightweight and compact, and it took nice outdoor pictures.The quality of the camera felt a little cheap.Due to getting an error message not even one day after purchase it has been returned to the store.I would not recommend this to anyone. ...

Great Price.Great Camera.
I recently bought my Fuji F470 and have been blown away by how easy it is to use.Its so lightweight and small and the picture quality is fantastic.I tried the Olympus FE-190 before this one but the picture quality was terrible.If you're looking for a camera to take everyday pictures, this is a great one.

Great camera!
small inexpensive camera but very good for the price. Takes great pictures and records short movies. The quality of both movies and pictures is outstanding.Very good in the dark as well as in the sun.The only problem I've encountered so far is that when you are taking a picture in the dark, you might not see anything on the monitor, but the picture comes out excellent. Another thing is that you can only delete pictures one by one but it's not that bad, since you are protected from deleting all by pressing a button by accident. Camera comes with FinePix software to get your photos and movies onto the PC.

So Far, it's great
I have been researching digital cameras because I am going to Europe for a year and want to take pictures, which I mostly will be sending back by email.I wanted at least 5MPs in my camera and I wanted to get a halfway decent size card to store pictures, all for under $300.I have been using my parents Canon Powershot SD400 Digital Elph that has great quality, but I was worried about the LCD screen because I might be a little rough on the camera (i.e., backpacking, shoving into a bag or my pocket) and it didn't fit into my budget. I looked at the Casio Exilim, but I did not want to use a cradle to download my pictures if I was traveling with my laptop.I decided on the Fuji because it had 6MPs, a large screen and seemed like it got well reviews.I just received it and have been taking pictures and movies with it.The photo quality is great when downloaded on to the computer.It took a while to get use to the quality on the screen because it is not as good as the Canon I have.The movies are great, but I cannot zoom when filming (not a real big deal).The sound quality isn't as good as my other camera but that could be my computer or the fact that the talking subject was close to the mic.I don't mind not having a view finder because I never really used it on my other digital cameras.The buttons would be rather small for some one with big fingers but I have no problem.I not too sure about the software I am still playing around with it, but it seems just like every other digital camera software.

Great Value
I bought these to view sporting events, concerts, and to do look at dolphins and wildlife at the beach. They are very nice, very clear, and a nice wide view. I looked at something with a stronger zoom, but picked these because the image is more stable on something less zoom. I don't think you can beat these binoculars in this price range.

service was great, got it very fast
Nikon Action 8x40 Binoculor is Fantastic
I just received these binoculars and can't put them down. They have great optics which give very crisp images. They focus and handle beautifully. They are fairly light at 26 ounces and was very pleased all around with their excellent performance as a great birding binocular. With BAK-4 High Index Prisms and quick central focusing and what appears to be even closer focusing distance than what they approximate you will extremely pleased with choosing the Nikon Action 8x40. Also very easy to hand hold without getting a shaky image as with much heavier binoculars. The perfect combination of power and light gathering ability. You'll absolutely love them. ... Read more

Good Camera
Got it yesterday. In green. Actually it's a shiney yellowish-green. Nice feel. Fits well in shirt pocket. Very light; particullarly compared to my Pentax Optio 550. Good, nice size LCD. Easy to use yet with nice availability of choices for customization. Well written manual (you can find online thru google) and onboard help menu. Photos come out fairly nice. Tried indoors in low light with several scene settings, outdoors, macro, and supermacro. Colors look true, fairly sharp without noticable artifact. Used in South Florida morning daylight outside without any trouble with LCD viewing (camera has no classic viewfinder). Have read reviews of washout in bright sun: have not tried that yet. Overall, I'm happy with the camera thus far.

AWFUL SHIPPING
Never buy from amazon. At least i wont ever again. payed for the best shipping on october 5th. its the 14th now and my item STILL HAS NOT ARIVED. its in NJ. been there for 3 days now. And amazon didnt even ship it out till the 10th of october!!! A DAY AFTER THERE ESTIMATE OF IT GETTING TO ME!
Faulty card not worth price
I used this memory card as the second of two used to take pictures at a high class wedding.All 526 pictures of the 587 capacity of the 512 MB card were retrieved without any problems.When it came time to retrieve the pictures from this 1GB card, only 294 were available out of the 800 or so I thought I had taken.I fould a software program for my computer that claimed to be able to recover lost data on flash memory cards.BadCopy Pro found 806 pictures on that card that normal handling only found 294.All indications is that the card is faulty.The price was cheap and now I think I know why.

Great value,Works as it should
What can you say about memory?Well it works and my camera seems to like it. Using it in a Canon 10D.My camera will take bursts of photos and the card gets written to properly and quickly. I haven't measured the time. I realize this isnt an 80x card or whatever, but I don't have an 80x camera, so it suits me fine.I have used it at sporting events and haven't missed a shot because of the card being written to, so I think it does as it should. I have several other Kingston cards, starting all the way back with I think a 32mb chip, then a 256 then a 512 and now a gig chip.I think they are a good value and I have even washed one in my pants pocket, run it through a drier and it still works, not that I'm trying to promote using your memory like pocket lint, but it's good to know they are build well! ...

would not get this camera
The camrea takes forever to turn on and has a BIG lag time between when you hit the button and it actually takes the picture. This means you often miss the photo you wanted to get. The lcd screen turns itself off inbetween photos and won't turn itself back on when you halfway press the shutter botton down.This thing eats through batteries.I'm spending some more money and am getting a canon.

Great Starter Camera
I purchased two cameras for my mom and me. The work great. I like the auto setting and the other scene setting work great. I havn't taken a bad shot either. I like the rapid fire button on top of the camera because I take lots of pictures of my dogs and they don't sit still for a minute.
Good basic camera, pretty much idiot proof
Purchased this to replace a much more expensive Fuji that broke after only a year.For less than 1/2 the price of a Fuji F10 it takes just as good pictures in my opinion.The controls and menus are very intuitive and easy-to-use.There are even helpful hints on the screen explaining what each mode does, for the true photo novices.

Excellent Slide Scanner
This is an excellent slide scanner and does exactly what it is supposed to do very well.Yes, it is somewhat slow, but only in comparison to regular flatbed scanners.I have the slides scan at maximum resolution, but have the final image resized to about 20%.This keeps the file size manageable (about 5 MB per scan) and still provides an image that fills the screen.With the digital corrections on (which does make a huge difference on old family slides), and some minor post-processing, it has been taking about a minute per slide.
Bob King
Slow but professional quality.Not simple.Huge learning curve.Scanning is an art and craft.You don't learn it overnight or even after many weeks.For the money, this is an outstanding choice.Remember, this is only good for slides and negative............not prints

If the software is bad, it doesnt matter how good the hardware is
I am not a techie but I have installed enough hardware of all kinds to know what it involves. I am also pretty handy with Photoshop and photography.

Battery hog, very frustrating!!!!
I haven't learned how to use all the features on this camera, but I'm sure when I do there won't be nearly enough battery power to actually do it. This camera will run about a half hour on fresh batteries, and then it just turns off. I thought it was defective, but a camera guy told me the Kodak digitals are like that. I would recommend a different brand with a special battery pack, not one that runs on two AA batteries. I'm going to try rechargables just to save some money, but this will never be a good camera for trips or outdoor stuff. Also, it sucks at landscape pics, bright colors (such as sunrises and sunsets) appear washed out and pale. Even a bright fuschia forest-fire sun is an anemic pale yellow (maybe that's just a digital thing).

Bad performance. It turns off suddently at the 2nd. day.
I think Kodak is not a good brand for digital cameras. They always have some functional problem...This camera looks like a cheap material, it's heavy and not handly. I don't recommend this product. Also, the second day that I received it, it started to turn off by itself... I'm still waiting for my money back... I hope this bad purchase finish in good terms. In CONCLUSION: Do not buy Kodak Digital Cameras any more. This is my second experience with the brand...So, belive me...it will be a problem in the short term.
Great camera for larger hands!
The Z700 is easy to use and comfortable in my hand. Although the flash is bright, the accompanying software takes the red out of eyes with the click of a mouse. My kids enjoy using the camera as much as I do. Loading the pictures onto the PC couldn't be easier! ... Read more

oregon helmet cam
cam in nice and lightweight, nice to have sd card so can change at will, batteries could last a bit longer though

Oregon Scientific Video Camera
I got this camera for use on my Yamaha Rhino while off roading. The camera does a good job taking moving video's. It has a fluid motion not ajerky one like I initially thought it would. For the money the camera does a great job.

for what its worth
I was able to find these locally for 59$. I picked one up to use as a helmet cam for when i go kite buggying (using a parafoil kite to power a 3 wheeled buggy across the land. lots of fun! and a great sport check out windpowersports.com for more info) Anyway, for the price this thing is great. If the resolution was a little better than 640x480 and fps was better than 15 this would be awesome. the only thing i dont like about this cam is that it has a 1gb limitation on the size of sd card you can use with it. i really wanted to get a 2gb or 4gb card for this but it looks like 1gb is the limit. the best part is that it is self contained. no wires whatsoever. the still camera is decent but not great. if youre looking for a budget helmet cam for recreational use than look no further. if youre looking for great quality resolution, you may have to spend 2x or 3x as much at least. supposedly another beefed up version of this cam will be put out by Oregon scientific soon. If they have listened to what we didnt like about this cam and they improve on it, we should have a gem on our hands. ... Read more

Can you say Noise ?
What more is there to say, if they fixed the noise problem I would buy it in a second.

Superb design with great images, although some noise/detail compromise
I was definitely NOT disappointed with the camera, after reading so much about it and passing on the LX1 a year ago due to the reports of excessive noise in the images.

Great machine
I hesitated a moment ordering it after reading the several poor reviews.But then I remembered that every Canon product I ever bought was fantastic, so, I ordered this scanner.Yup, she's fantastic too. I don't know why them guys panne it because it is VERY VERY fast and does a great job.It makes a little noise but so what?It's an incredible machine for the bucks and I couldn't be more please.

The Worst Scanner I Have Ever Owned
I received this scanner as a gift as my old scanner (and the first one I ever bought, in 1997) was not going to be compatible with the computer I was having built.I work as a freelance graphic designer and artist, so having a scanner is essential to my work.I was happy to be getting this scanner since it was so much smaller than my old one but had about the same scanning area.I immediately hooked it up and set it up, and set to try scanning.
Not all that great.
I use to really like Canon products.But this particular scanner has changed that appeal.It is beastly slow, fairly noisy, and the software is inferior.I scanned 8 pages of Calculus notes directly into a PDF file and it worked fine.On a separate occasion I tried to scan a small 5.5 X 8.5 card into a PDF file, and it said the image was too big.The documentation and help files add to making the software inferior.It's difficult to locate specific help.Once you locate the help files, finding what you need is not worth the trouble.I feel bad for Canon, but after this experience I strongly recommend a comparable Epson if all CanoScan 4200F's are like this one. ...

love
being an avid photographer with a love of altered photos, i was an instant fan of lomo cameras. the fisheye is the second one i have and i love it amazing!! plus mine is gold!

Let's hear it for easy fun and creativity
This adorable lightweight camera is perfect for people who want a unique look to their photos but don't have the money to invest in fancy camera bodies and wide-angle lenses. The fisheye camera is as easy to use as any point-and-click, and it's fixed-focus lens means no zooming, focusing, or other photographic buzz-killers. What you see is what you get, wrapped into a gently bended shape with vignetted corners. The only consideration is that you must photograph well-lit subjects or shoot outside, as there is no aperature or shutter speed control-but it's a lot of fun!! Try to recreate all your favorite band photos from the '90s by shooting on high-speed black and white film.

This Camera is all about YOU!
I read the comments (even the bad one) before I purchased this camera. I took a chance because for something that might be really cool, its only $40. And he was right, the viewfinder is useless, but they even tell you that in the manual. Also, you do have to get really close to the subject, and shots only come out good if there's LOTS of light (especially indoor). Anyway, my first set of prints came out just okay, with a few amazing shots. From that set of prints I learned how to maximize the potential of this camera. The key is to fill up the frame. I took a shot of my friend out in a parking lot. The foreground was just her and the background was the sky. It came out so cool because the entire frame had something in it. There were scattered clouds everywhere, if the sky had been clear it would have just been clear blue space. But because I filled up the frame with objects everywhere, there were things to be distorted with the fisheye. I took another shot of the courtyard of a tall apartment building. That came out great because there were so many vertical lines and the fisheye could bend them. This camera doesn't take great pictures by itself so don't expect it to. If you've got the talent, imagination, or just plain curiousity, it's a great way to spend $40. I love it! ... Read more

Great camera--but a little sensitive
Love the camcorder and the fact that you never have to buy tapes or those stupid little 20-minute discs. The quality is great. And you can upgrade to a three-hour battery, so battery life isn't a concern. My only drawbacks: 1) camera can be very sensitive; I took it to the beach and jostled it around a little and the zoom and focus stopped working, and 2) using it with a program like Sony's Click to DVD software scrambles the clips, so when you edit before burning to DVD you have to go back, frame by frame, and rearrange the clips in the order you shot them in.

Incorrect Product Description
The camera itself makes me quite happy.Unfortunately the Pentax 18-55mm f/3.5 - 5.6 lens described above (1 inch / 4.9 ounces) does not (as far as I can see) exist.Instead Amazon ships the standard Pentax 18-55mm f/3.5 - 5.6 kit lens... not bad but it can hardly be described as "hardly protrud[ing] from the camera.

Worth it
I own a pentax zx 30 35 mm camera with a 28mm-210mm lens on it. I was shopping a while for a digital camera, bought the canon powershot a620.But sold it after 4 weeks, I feel more natural with a SLR style than the point and shoot camera.Finally after much research, landed on this one, knowing very well that there are superior cameras out there in the market.And I never needed a camera in 8MP - 10MP range. 4 MP - 6MP is all (my opinion) one needs for prints of 4 x 6 sizes.
Great camera - BE CAREFUL with legacy K-mount lenses

This is not the one you want to get. You want the Lexar 1 GB 32X SD card. They look the same, except for the "32X" designation.

Epson 4990 PhotoScanner
I needed a machine to scan my collection of transparencies and color negatives.This model seemed to have what was needed.After loading the software, I began with Monaco EZ color and ran the calibrations and created the profiles for transparencies and reflective prints; this was fast and fun. I was surprised with the closely matching results.
One of the best!

Watch out for film deposits under the glass!
My six months old 4990 has a noticeable film deposits under the glass. The glass was clear when I bought it. Apparently other owners of the 4990 have had identicle problems (discussions at howtofixcomputers.com). Epson will clean it for free if the 4990 is still under warranty, but this is not a one time problem, but a continuous one (you have to pay Epson to clean the glass after warranty expires). The film is visible when the 4990 is powered up and the interior light is on. With the lid out of the way, look at the glass at 10 to 30 degrees angle. I hope your glass is clear. ... Read more
