I have only used Kodak products. This camera takes decent pictures. It has a large viewing screen and also take videos. It is larger then most easy share and not the kind of camera you can throw in your purse. It has a large lense with a 12x zoom. I have had problems with some photos being out of focus. It has pop up flash which to me is kinda outta date, and I could see it as being a problem in the future. This camera suites its purposes but is not as user friendly as compared to my previous Kodak Cameras.
