Kodak

- obviously the SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH C-VARIOGON ultra-wide angle 23mm lens
- 2.5 in. LCD screen
- sleek, attractive design
- true color high quality images
- placement of buttons
- ease of use menu system and operating software.
- automatic shutoff
- image quality
- review options (crop, pan, zoom)
- stitching panoramias (one of the best I have used, very neat and useful)
- size
- how impressive the camera looks when you turn it on, and it beeps and the lens cover flashes up James Bond high-tech like (silly I know, but its a lot of fun)

Dislike
- slow zoom
- the favorites sections and the plastic people demo pictures (do we really need those?)
- issue with saturation and light balance when camera is flipped vertically and horizontially. Quite a different photo (darker) is capable when camera is tilted on end (vertical), as opposite (lighter) to normal position. Why do I have this issue?
- focus response and strength can be improved if this camera is to be used in the field. It seems to have some issues, but is not a problem most of the time.
- Kodak, could you give us a custom fit camera case for this camera? That would another good incentive to buy this camera.
- flimsy battery and SD card flaps. (While they work for the design, they do come apart easily when in heavy use. The battery cover kept being a problem for me)
- screen looks like it can scratch easy. An easy tip to remedy this is to place a screen protector used for PDA's over the screen. Cut it out to match the space and stick it on the screen. Replace it when it gets too scratched.
