Great Camera and Great Service from Vendor

I recieved this product before the promised amount of shipping time and was delighted with the quality of the product, especially for the price. This is a great point and shoot camera and the service from the vendor was excellent.

Its good

I bought this because my family broke my other easyshare. This one has more pixels and the picture is excellent. Got it in 2 days.

easy to use digital camera

I purchased this camera because a friend recommended it, and I find it easy to use, a handy size, and it takes good pictures. It does not eat through batteries very fast either. It's a good camera for a new-to-digital person!

Purchased this camera about a month ago. Works great and takes great pics. We took it on vacation to Cabo with us and the pictures came out amazing! Great deal for the price:)

Wasn't for me...

I didn't like the quality of the photos. I did like its flash features! I bought a Canan A1100S which is great - what a great photo/picture quality.

Great camera for a great price

I usually shoot on a Canon DSLR, but am getting ready for a summer trip and wanted something small to carry in my pocket. I did some research and looked around and after messing with a few cameras in hand, I stumbled upon this kodak and impressive it is. For the price it cant be beat, at 12mp with a nice sleek design and very easy to use the buttons are very user friendly. The layout of the buttons are also user friendly no fumbling around at all. Basically at the size of a credit card it easily stores away in my pocket. It also has a "smart" feature which basically just adjusts everything for you instead of having to mess with settings. Its pretty fast when taking a shot, I was expecting a slow response time, but again have been pretty impressed how fast it actually is for a little point and shoot. The pictures have all been really crisp and gives very vibrant colors. Easy downloads of all photos and its a quick painless transfer. It also has a function to connect to your facebook or flickr account if you have one, which I didnt use, but is convienant regardless. If you looking for something quick easy and fun this is a great deal, if your want something more advanced than look elsewhere.

So many problems out of the box...

Our previous camera died so we bought one of these M530's. My wife liked the Kodak name and has used Kodak before. Unfortunately for us, the camera is problematic and it's not just ours judging by complaints and reviews I've read online now.

On the plus side this camera takes video with sound, in addition to normal photos. There are a variety of menu options and picture types to choose form, though to be honest you're going to take 95% of your pictures in the default "Smart" mode anyways.

It's the problems though that keep it from being a recommendable purchase.

First off, almost as soon as it was out of the box the LCD screen has a tendency to go white after it's been on once. If you turn it on, take some pictures, turn it back off, then on again a few minutes later the LCD display will ALWAYS go white, no exceptions. You can still take pictures, but can't possibly see what it is you're taking of course. I've read online this is sometimes due to a loose wire internally, but find it hard to believe it's a loose wire because it always happens after it's been on once already then magically disappears if you leave it off for 10 minutes or so. This is a huge problem because nobody leaves their camera one for an extended period of time, and judging by reviews is not unique to this specific model but is a problem with many, many different Kodak cameras. I don't know or care what the reasoning or excuse is, but this kind of problem is not acceptable out of the box.

Secondly, the camera takes a rather large amount of light in order to take pictures. My kids have fairly cheap cameras that require less light to take a simple picture. I don't know what the problem is with the M530's light filter, but for a company like Kodak this kind of problem really isn't acceptable either.

Lastly, to do something as simple as add a date and time stamp to your photos is not possible without going in and selecting each photo individually and then adding the stamp. This is just plain dumb. An option to turn On and Off automatic stamping is all that's needed here, and as it stands this way stamping your photos will not be an option unless you just have loads and loads of free time to waste by adding them individually.

Overall, my verdict is to stay away from this camera. The problems aren't minor, but are medium to major and it's just not a good value. Quite frankly Kodak seems to have the same problems with various camera models and lines, so perhaps staying away from Kodak altogether is your best bet. You'd think a company like Kodak would be able to put out a better product than this.

Not worth it.

I bought this camera to replace an older Casio Exilim that only has 5MP and a 3X zoom. I love to take basic scenic photos and photos of my pets. I'm not a photographer so I just want something basic. My old Casio always did an excellent job but I wanted more MP to be able to print slightly larger photos. I went with this because I liked the feature of being able to send the pictures straight to my Facebook and Flickr accounts. Not only does this camera not take nearly as good of quality photos, but I found it extremely difficult to upload to Facebook and Flickr. I live near an excellent view of Mt. Rainier and I spent about 25 minutes at one point trying to get a nice photo with it in the background. My Casio ALWAYS got Mt. Rainier to show up in the background instantly. I finally got frustrated and took the photo with my cellphone and it showed up on my cellphone just fine. But when I took the photo with this it couldn't do it. Then when I wanted to upload I had to manually go in and select every photo individually to upload to Facebook and Flickr. Then, it still didn't upload them! I ended up having to just upload them to my computer and manually do it. I can do that with any camera! I wasn't looking for a fancy camera going into this. Just something simple to take cute pictures to show off to my friends. So I returned it and will be upgrading my Casio, I should have just stayed loyal to them to start with. I have had 2 Exilim cameras so far, I began purchasing them back when I worked at Radioshack when they were brand new about 8 years ago and have loved them ever since! My original still works great as well as my second one that I purchased about 6 years ago. I will be sticking with them from now on for simple point-and-shoot cameras for sure!

Z981 zoom passes the test

I bought the Z981 specifically to use on vacation trips to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, (BWCA), on the Minnesota-Ontario border. The Z-981 worked great.

The only problem was trying to use the maximum zoom while floating in a canoe, a problem unique to the BWCA, The geometry of a bouncing canoe and the maximum zoom makes it difficult to focus on something like an eagles nest located a half-mile away. Its a great problem to have!

The feature I enjoyed most, once I figured out how to match up photos was the panoramic setting. Some great wide-angle shots.

Kodak Z981 Great Camera for the Price!!!!!

The camera takes pictures way beyond my usage, the panoramic option is really cool because it stitches the pics together and you cannot tell where one starts and one ends. All you do is kinda line up the last pic with the next (just somewhere close) pic and its done. Anyway, great camera for the price!!!!

NO GOOD

I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT KODAK BRANDS AND NEVER HAD PROBLEMS UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS CAMRA. IT STARTED OUT FINE BUT WITHIN A MONTH I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS, THE PICTURES WERE COMING OUT BLURRY, GRAINY AND SOMETIMES ONLY HALF OF A PICTURE CAME OUT. THE PICS WERE NO GOOD. ALSO WHEN YOU USE THE ZOOM FEATURE THE CAMRA JUST SHUTS OFF. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMRA. I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED WITH KODAK PRODUCTS!

Interesting Title

Not really much to say.

Without breaking it down for eight hours, it is a good pocked camera.

Though I did lose mine, I will be buying another as soon as I get a few extra dollars.

Wonderful!

Takes great pictures, so many settings, and choices, but also has a smart capture that takes great pictures regardless.

Find Another Camera

I biggest problem I had with this camera was the blur in half the pictures that I took, whether I was inside or outside. When the picture came out nice, I was happy with the quality. But over half of them didn't, and for the time that I've had this camera and the pictures that I took of my kids, most of the pictures are garbage and worthless. I sold a perfectly working Canon to get this camera. I have now returned the camera due to Beach Camera Nice Return Policy and have chosen to pay a little bit more and keep the better camera. Another issue was that the Date Stamp feature that Kodak uses only works on an individual basis. You have to Date Stamp each picture, instead of it automatically doing it for you. The last thing I noticed was when I put the pictures on my computer, my program won't allow me to remove the red eye from the photos. Kodak may be a name brand, but STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAMERA. I warned you.
