I think that the wide angle lens makes up for the lack of 7MP. Both are point and shoot though you might have a little more control with the Canon.

The dock is a plus and the fact that you can charge battery in the camera is better than the Canon.

When taking pictures before my daughters prom and a lot of people liked the wide angle lens. I never use the view finder, do you?

I think the Canon maybe a better camera but for a newbie user the Kodak is easier. The wide angle lens is what makes it different and out weighs the other issues. The thin shape is a real plus. Really you can’t go wrong with the Canon or the Kodak.


The items of weakness you mentioned I have not seen. Yes you do not have continuous zoom but that is due to the second wide angle zooming. If use the main lens, you have continuous zoom. The battery life has been fine.

At the moment I think Kodak has the edge due to the wide angle lens. Maybe Canon will come with a similar camera but for now it nice to see a US Company making a cutting edge product.

If I was going to buy a digital SLR it would probably be a Canon but I can’t really justify buying a SLR when these point and shoots do so well. Do any of the member have a digital SLR?
