I carry this camera with me every day. It takes decent pictures for informal use. I would not use it for special events or for vacations. Still pictures require good light. It is simple to use and you can easily transfer the videos to your computer. I use Roxio Easy CD/DVD to transfer the videos to a DVD. The quality is good. Very good for spontaneous pictures. It is water resistant.

Comments about Kodak Mini Video Camera (Gray):
I wanted a small, discrete, easy-to-operate, handheld video recorder which could produce reasonable quality video, and I got it with this Mini Video Camera. So far, I've shot video in a variety of lighting conditions. The results are as smooth and detailed as I could expect. It shoots VGA to 30fps. No, the video isn't perfect. The exposure and color balance are sometimes a bit off, and it can't be used in low light conditions. Still, it's the best I've seen under $100 (it was about [$] on sale when I bought it). It's even waterproof to 10feet. The controls are very simple (a.k.a. limited). What I don't like is how to access the USB and SD card. It's awkward. Not surprising they did it this way to make it water tight, but getting the USB connector to pop out (it's spring loaded) almost needs a sharp tool sometimes. At the end of the day, I'm happy I spent they money. It certainly wasn't wasted.

This a great little Grandma's camera. It is not loaded with special functions and features. It does a good job of on the go video. Easy to download and performs as advertised.
