But otherwise excellent for the price. The full-auto mode is decent but not great (tho it never really is). The scene modes are useful and there are plenty to choose from. The camera has a bit of trouble with backlit subjects, even using the backlight scene mode.Battery life is excellent (if you're not an idiot and remember to charge it first!). Fully manual mode is a bit confusing at first, but you can save your own manual presets, so once you figure it out, that is also excellent.It is a quality product for a great price, good for some amateur photojournalism, but not really for anything professional.A tip: they suggest you buy the Kodak SD cards to go with this. Don't bother. They are double the price of other SD cards and don't make that much of a difference.
