About This Brand
Kodak's EasyShare line focuses on ease of use, as indicated by its brand tagline. The budget C series includes some of the least-expensive point-and-shoots available. The M series compacts and subcompacts offer slightly more sophisticated features in a more stylishly designed camera body. Most of the higher-end Z series models are super zooms. Kodak Slice point-and-shoot series features large, touch-screen displays and special buttons that allow you to upload to social networking websites. Kodak doesn't offer SLRs.
Optical zoom Optical zoom is the maximum magnifcation of the lens.

Manual controls Some cameras allow the user to set the aperture (f-stop), shutter speed, or (usually) both. This feature is used to override the automatic exposure settings when more control is needed. During a sporting event for example, you may want to use a high shutter speed to freeze the action. Or, you may want to use a low shutter speed to blur moving objects (like a waterfall) while keeping stationary objects sharp. Using shallow depths of field can be used to blur the background of photos while keeping the foreground in focus. Typically up/down arrow keys are used to change settings displayed on the LCD or in the viewfinder. These controls are not as easy to use as on conventional film cameras.

LCD size (in.) Digital cameras have a small liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen on the back so you can see the images and decide which to keep. You can also use the LCD to help frame photos, but that's a sure way to run down the battery in a hurry. Most LCD screens are too dim for viewing clearly in sunlight. Many cameras also use the screen for displaying menus and camera settings. It is desirable to have both an LCD display and a viewfinder with an eyepiece.

Viewfinder Found on virtually all models, this optical device allows you to look through an eyepiece to frame the subject before taking a picture. Not to be confused with the LCD image display found on the back of the camera, which is mainly to view photos you've already taken.
I used this product for 2 days (a weekend), and I had to exchange it for another one due to freezing screen, and not sharing pictures to my fb like it advertised. I SHOULD HAVE JUST GOT A REFUND THEN!!! The second one I used a few times, and the pictures froze when being reviewed, screen will say no memory card or card error type messages, blurry pictures, the screen freezes when trying to delete or crop any picture. The Camera DOES NOT share to my fb as advertised, and freezes when hooked up to my computer and does NOT recognize being connected to a computer, but the computer detected the device. I have yet to get this camera to download ANY pictures! WORST CAMERA EVER!!!!!!!!!!
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
