I was at one time a HUGE fan of anything and everything Kodak. No longer tho. (the reasons unecessary)

I work in the largest photo retail chain on the planet and Kodaks don't sell. And in my professional opinion both Kodak AND Sony are at the very bottom of the camera barrel. At least customer service wise. They are truly HORRIBLE in that. Outsourcing at it's best. Personally, I don't sell cameras, I sell knowledge and service, both of which you don't get from either of those two. Kodak dropped the ball years ago and Fuji picked it up and ran with it.

If you want a digital camera, buy one from people who MAKE cameras, not movies in hollyood, not watches, not keyboards, not boom boxes.

One simply cannot go wrong with the name(s) Canon, Nikon, Olympus or Pentax. And they speak ENGLISH when you call them.

There's NOTHING easy about easyshare cameras, thats nothing but someone at Kodak paying someone on Madison Ave., to create a buzzword.

Any and ALL digital cameras will be as easy or as difficult as the one buying it makes it. I see it day in and day out.

So keep buying your cameras in "convenient" places where you actually think your getting a good deal like KMart, Target, Sams Club, BestBuy & Circuit City.

I like that, czuase when ya have problems they always tell ya to go to a camera store. And I get to charge you $25.00 an hour or any part thereof for technical service and support.]]>Jul 24th 2007 8:45PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/
a) Kodak didn't jump in till way too late and catch up won't work for them.
b) Kodak makes dumb decisions, discontinuing GREAT film(s), back in the day - Royal Gold, Ektapress Professional 1600 et al
c) Kodak has FIRED 1,000's of employees worldwide in the last 7-8 years

Shall I continue? Nikon has a fabulous L10 5 meg camer for $119.00 which is usually on sale for $99.99, with a far superior optical glass lens.

Oh and that Kodah. Schneider lens? Not likely. Can you say lincensing agreement? Same with Sony ! NOT a Zeiss lens on those puppies either.]]>Jul 24th 2007 8:53PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/Jul 24th 2007 10:05PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/Aug 5th 2007 11:46PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/Jul 25th 2007 7:07AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/Jul 25th 2007 2:31PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/
I have a NIKON 35mm SLR and wondering if anyone will ever invent some sort of conversion kit that will allow a 35mm film camers to take digital photos.....]]>Jul 25th 2007 9:36AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/No one gets excited about buying a KODAK digital.

In addition, Kodak was citing a JD Power report on their website. I went to JD Power's website and looked it up myself. Here's what it said:
"Within the $200-$399 segment, in which the majority of cameras are purchased, Kodak ranks highest for a third consecutive year. Kodak receives top ratings from customers in four of the six factors that determine overall satisfaction: cost, connectivity, ease of use and picture quality. Sony follows Kodak in the rankings."

Not too shabby. There are a lot of cameras in this price range- check out

From experience, we had a Kodak digital camera at work. Then they bought a second one. The staff's consensus was that the Kodak was the easiest, most user friendly one. I originally used the Kodak; then moved "up" to the other one when we got it. I actually thought the person I passed the Kodak on to got the better end of the deal.]]>Jul 25th 2007 6:54PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/24/kodaks-new-100-5-megapixel-cam/Jul 25th 2007 8:23PM
