KODAK EASY SHARE C643
The worst camera I've ever owned. Picture quality is horrible. A very bad Camera indeed. I will never buy any Kodak camera anymore. Highly disappointed. I bought this Camera almost 2 years now and I get horrible pictures whenever used. I am going for a Canon or Sony camera.

Great Camera At This Price-point
I bought this camera a year ago and love it. The PQ is excellent, but you'll need a very steady hand to have clear pictures using the digital zoom. Image stabilization is lacking on this camera but, for me, it's not an issue 99% of the time.
You'll really come to love this camera if you invest in an accessory kit that includes following:
1GB memory card
4 Rechargeable batteries & a charger
Carrying case
When I bought mine, it was offered as a kit that included the accessories I noted above. I'm glad I did. The memory card alone takes your picture capacity up to over 950 shots!

Love this camera!
I received this camera for Christmas 2006. So far, I have used it numerous times and in many various situations. I wouldn't say that it is the best quality out there, but for people on a budget and without spending tons of money on something, the quality is great. i have used it with and without the printer dock. The printer dock takes a while to print a picture but other than that the dock is fairly easy to use and it "finds" your camera once it's loaded and with the press of a few buttons you can choose what size pic you want to print and how many copies. It's pretty user friendly overall. I agree with some of the other reviewers in that, the manuals aren't great to understand. it takes some reading and time to figure them out. As for the camera itself, I really have enjoyed using it. I have taken it on many trips, including Disney World, and New England in the fall. In the fall, I captured many fantastic pics and while driving in a car, the quality of the photo was pretty decent considering we were driving 70mph and with a glare on the window. I like the different settings there are depending upon night, movement, snow, beach, etc. Those really do make the pic better. My biggest complaint is it didn't capture the magnificence of the fall foliage colors as they are in person. I had to tweak my photos with my computer to make them brighter and with more contrast to bring out the color. The camera is real user friendly with the menu buttons and video portion especially for older parents (like mine) not from a technological era like myself. They find easy to use. It doesn't capture night photos that well even on the night feature. I have had to take some pics over and over again to capture just one thing. It also takes a lot longer for a night photo to flash, and you have to hold the camera real steady the whole time in order for the pic not to come out blurry. Other than that, I have been really happy with my Kodak camera and it's a great camera for those just starting in digital photography, those who aren't real technologically savvy, or those kids who want a camera without all the complicated buttons etc. If you purchaase the rechargeable batteries, the camera will last a long time. When I was in New england, I used my camera almost continuously off and on for about 2 days before I had to recharge. I also purchased a 2 GB SD card and reduced the resolution on the camera and I was able to take over 2000 photos and videos. I agree with other reviewers in that the sound on the video is surprisingly good. I didn't think it would be, but at Disney, I taped some performances and even from a far distance with the zoom in place the sound was really good. I uploaded to my computer, and I can literally relive the shows like I am there all over again. The quality of the photos when printed is also very good compared to some of my older version cameras. I would definitely recommend this camera, especially if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars or more and don't want buttons to confuse you to the point your camera spends its days on a lonely dusty shelf :( And who wants a lonely camera?? I know I want a happy camera smiling every time I go to use it :)

Don't buy this poorly made camera
I'm very disappointed with Kodak. They dropped the ball in manufacturing this camera, which was made very poorly. I have had two of these cameras break on me in the span of 14 months. When I first purchased the camera, it didn't work after about 2 days. I didn't drop it or mishandle it; the camera's red light just kept blinking furiously at me, despite my numerous battery changes. I took it back to Staples where it was purchased and luckily, because it had only been 2 days, got a new camera. I rarely used the camera as I own a couple others, and after about a year and two months, and about a dozen uses, the camera again wouldn't turn on. I called Kodak and they told me because it was just 2 months past a year, it was no longer under warranty and it would cost me a whopping $90 to have the camera repaired. Never mind that the camera itself cost me about $130. Kodak thinks I'm stupid enough to pay nearly the full amount for another version of this shoddily constructed camera. When I asked to speak to a manager, the Kodak rep kept me on hold for about 20 minutes. I guess it's their idea of customer service.
Never again will I buy a camera from Kodak.
Buyer beware.

Great Camera
The Kodak C643 is a great digital camera. It comes with a load of features and is super easy to use. I have to say the photo quality is pretty good. Obviously the quality of the photos is not as nice as professional equipment but I have to say it is pretty good (especially for the price)! The camera runs on 2 AA batteries. You want to make sure that you use rechargable AA batteries as they last a long time on a single charge. Regular AA's will not last long enough. You can buy a pack of 4 rechargable AA's with a charger for about $20 at just about any electronic store or even at Target. This is a great camera overall!
