I have a Kodak digital, but I bought it two years ago and since I haven't bought any other cameras (no money or need to), I take photos occasionally when I go out and about. I find it very user friendly and it has a memory card. I attach a part of the camera to my computer to upload any photos I take and share them this way. I was surprised at how easy it was, since I am not very into new technology, being as old fashioned as I am.

My previous camera broke and my daughter bought me a new one but we don't get along at all. When I load the photos onto the computer, I can't download them because they get huge.

With both of them I had an option to purchase the extended warranty, but I was confident the brands I chose were good, I knew the cameras would be fine, so I didn't bother with the extended warranties.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-82369136523848106552012-06-07T08:58:48.580-04:002012-06-07T08:58:48.580-04:00I have two digital cameras, a Canon which uses two...I have two digital cameras, a Canon which uses two AA batteries and a Sony which uses a flat square rechargable battery. I bought a spare battery for the Sony at a cost of $70, which I think is worth it as I have a spare battery always with me when out taking photos. Each newly charged battery takes around 400 photos. A battery recharger was included in the box the camera came in. <br />Both cameras came with an SD card of 512mb, this takes about 8 photos. This was clearly stated in the manual which came with both cameras, so on purchase of each camera, I also bought SD cards with much more memory. I have 2GB, 4GB and 8GB SD cards. <br />My Canon is probably 6 years old now and the Sony is 4. Both cameras still work extremely well, with no parts ever having broken.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-33463514217908162372012-06-07T08:13:40.441-04:002012-06-07T08:13:40.441-04:00They don't make them like theby used to anymor...They don't make them like theby used to anymore. In this throw-away world, technology changes so fast that people don't even wait for things to wear out, they just want the newest and fastest gadgets out on the market. I think manufacturers don't make things to last as people don't keep things long.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-31262631109000811642012-06-07T08:02:31.947-04:002012-06-07T08:02:31.947-04:00You know the funny thing is, Kodak always had qual...You know the funny thing is, Kodak always had quality film and photofinishing but never had wonderful cameras... ever. I used to be a reporter/photographer for 25 years and knew a lot about cameras and Kodaks were always rubbish. I've had a fairly inexpensive Sony for the last five years and it has been an awesome camera. But I hear Sony now outsources their work and their stuff isn't anywhere near as good as it used to be. If I was in the market for a camera right now I would probably buy a Nikon. Canon or Minolta is good, too, but I had a Nikon digital camera for work and that thing was indestructible.<br />Bonus points for you for your ingenuity!Cathy Olliffe-Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729578896443750402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-63905949922898123462012-06-07T05:10:49.416-04:002012-06-07T05:10:49.416-04:00you can take the memory card out and use a usb car...you can take the memory card out and use a usb card reader to download the photos, a card reader is much cheaper than a new camera!

That is why I got my new big girl camera at Costco where is can be returned within 90 days if I do not like it. I love it though. I had a Kodak Easy Share point and shoot camera for several years that I never had an issue with. I have tons of issues with cell phones and internet devices to make up the difference.Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562775041134498313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-29432038584230968792012-06-06T18:20:52.744-04:002012-06-06T18:20:52.744-04:00I bet it was made in China or another asian countr...I bet it was made in China or another asian country with poor quality control :-).Windsmoke.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12225394580987872677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-28206897531331947452012-06-06T17:44:21.742-04:002012-06-06T17:44:21.742-04:00I really hate this, too.

They filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in January of this year. They were not ready for the digital era and were trying to get back into it with some cheap copycat cameras. I've had good experiences with both Cannon and Nikon. Those big box stores don't pay to have knowledgeable clerks anymore (sad really). You need to research online today.<br />Did you get the pictures off the camera?Bill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-23794331830446848632012-06-06T16:49:51.648-04:002012-06-06T16:49:51.648-04:00Very frustrating that something so new would be gi...Very frustrating that something so new would be giving trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-81605626966046618402012-06-06T16:26:28.673-04:002012-06-06T16:26:28.673-04:00We live in a disposable society where nothing is m...We live in a disposable society where nothing is made to last.
