Before buying I compared to several other cameras (including ones up to $100 more expensive). The Kodak was not the smallest, fastest or best looking- but it did take the best pictures.

Yesterday at Busch Gardens my wife, at 10x zoom and auto setting took a great shot of me and my step-daughter on the downhill leg of the Scorpion rollercoaster. The picture is clear with great color. The slow performance is a little annoying – but the great pics are making up for it.
