Unpredictable
[ Posted: 2008-11-27 ]
My main problem with this camera is that the picture quality is very unpredictable. Some pictures come out perfectly clear, while others are extremely blurry. I've found that the pictures without needing a flash have better clarity. My hand is very steady, so I know it's not a matter of moving during the shot. My previous camera, which was a different brand, never had these problems. I would not recommend this camera and am currently shopping for a different one.
Don't Bother

Worked for a couple months--then started "freezing up" which of course caused me to miss some excellent shots. No more Kodak cameras for me. Also I noted the battery placement {+/-} on the battery cover didn't match the diagram on the inside where the batteries fit.I feel it deserves no stars--a lot of money for a couple months of pictures.
went through a torture test

I dont know what most of these people are talking about with poor picture quality.
They expect professional pictures from a point and shoot, when they should be buying a slr.
Compared to like a Canon EOS 40D, yeah they pictures arent that great. But for a cheap point and shoot, they are extremely good
----------------------------------------
People keep saying that it is a poor quality built camera. They must be thinking of a different one then this one.
The back screen can break easily if your not careful
-----I put this camera through the torture test of over 2 years
-15 month tour in Iraq, getting sand all over it
-carrying it on tons of military training excercises
-way too many drunken parties
-and just using it EVERYWHERE
it still works like it's brand new.
For the price, you will never beat it
Plus it's one of the only cameras that has good video with audio.
KODAK EASY SHARE C643

The worst camera I've ever owned. Picture quality is horrible. A very bad Camera indeed. I will never buy any Kodak camera anymore. Highly disappointed. I bought this Camera almost 2 years now and I get horrible pictures whenever used. I am going for a Canon or Sony camera.
Great Camera At This Price-point

I bought this camera a year ago and love it. The PQ is excellent, but you'll need a very steady hand to have clear pictures using the digital zoom. Image stabilization is lacking on this camera but, for me, it's not an issue 99% of the time.
You'll really come to love this camera if you invest in an accessory kit that includes following:
1GB memory card
4 Rechargeable batteries & a charger
Carrying case
When I bought mine, it was offered as a kit that included the accessories I noted above. I'm glad I did. The memory card alone takes your picture capacity up to over 950 shots!
