I know buck, but if your going to spend that much just spend 189 and get that canon A520. The kodak battery doors break, i'm telling you, i hear the most complaints out of Kodaks. The reason older kodaks might be better is because Kodak was bought out by someone, so now they use shite parts.

dont get the fookin kodak

You stink, [img]http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gerald.marley/Smilie/evil_laugh.gif[/img]

Kodak sucks, I really regret the day I bought mine. Gonna get a proper cam when I get the ££.

my kodak of like 3 years is all fine and works damn good. iam able to get great shots and the actual thing works like new. plus it was first digi camera released in world with oled display woooot http://www.dpreview.com/news/0303/03030 ... kls633.asp

What did i say before? The older Kodaks were nice and built right, But they were bought out by some shit company and now they suck. Plus all the ones that get returned for being busted are Kodaks.

Kodak has not been bought out by anyone.

I bet if ATi made a digital camera, you would buy it instantly.

Im not really into the whole digicam thing so nope. hake:

my housemate has a new kodak and its basically the same just a different build with better megapixels. as far as i see it from my usage and those i know of kodaks are fine for me, heck id like a digi slr but my kodak works pretty damn good and better than alot of my friends nikon digis etc.

and gervs right, kodak were not bought out at all wtf you on about, kodak would be the people buying out other companies.

Yes they were bought out, at least they were bought out here in the states, if that makes any sense. But i know they have been bought out by someone else. Obviously they kept the name, but have changed owners and what not. And they are made with shittier parts.

For what its worth, Kodaks are good starter cameras, they are easy to operate and are pretty damn cheap. But there is a battery and battery door problem with the Kodaks.

If you want a good cheap digi cam look at the Fuji A345 its 149.99 USD and its a fine camera.

I personaly find that the Canon Powershot series are the best cameras

But they are pricey, i have a Powershot A610 which is an awesome camera, but its out of bucks price range. So look at this

Fuji A345

Canon A520, while they both have the same megapixles, the zoom is a tad more. Go with the fuji if you wanna stay under 150, but if you wanna stay under 200 get the canon, its worth it. Olympus' break easily, complete shite.
