My review is short because I don't believe in mincing words. This camera is a tour de force as far as technology goes. It's lightweight, small, large LCD is beautiful see, VERY nice to look at, and fairly quick... BUT... I just don't get it. Why after putting as much as Kodak obviously put into this camera would they shortchange prospective buyers with only 4 megapixels!?!? That and the 3x optical zoom are the major and really only downers of this camera, in my opinion. It would have been just as easy for Kodak to load this unit with a 5-megapixel processor chip and a 4x zoom. Again, in my opinion, Kodak would then really have something going with this camera. As it is, the camera is good, and yes, the Wi-Fi works great. However, with it only having 4 megapixels and 3x optical zoom, it somehow makes one feel as if they are spending a lot of money on yesterday's technology. That always seems to be the way, though, doesn't it? Big companies giveth with one hand, and taketh away with the other. My advice--if you have the green, buy one, use a bit. If you donÂ’t like it, take it back. As for me, I like mine well enough. So for now I'm keeping it...
