  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: takes OKAY pics

  Weaknesses: No manufacturer support

  Overall Evaluation: This is a nice camera that takes pretty good pictures with little effort. The view screen is a nice size but very difficult to use outdoors, the camera could use a standard viewfinder. Kodak Easyshare software is cumbersome and invasive. It does not appear that there is any way to unload the camera without the proprietary software. Kodak support is non-existent so if there is a way they're not tellin' me. I wouldn't buy this one again.

  Strengths: Very Good Pictures, Very Good Video and Audio, Good Sized Memory and Rotating Screen.

  Weaknesses: Slow Start-Up and Battery Life

  Overall Evaluation: I was looking for a digital camera with the following: 1 - A rotating screen for taking pictures when you can't stand behind the camera. 2 - Video capture with Audio. 3 - Small size (compaired to my 5-year old camera). 4 - More Mega Pixels (old camera has 2.3Meg). 5 - Cheep memory.The Kodak Easy Share One covered all of the above. The picture quality is better than my old camera, both outdoor and especially indoor. My indoor shots would come out very dark, adjusting the white balance was the only way to get some decent shots. So far the indoor shots with the Kodak Easy Share One have been of a MUCH better quality.The video quality is also a really nice suprise. I have a 8mm camcorder and the quality of the video that I have taken with the Kodak Easy Share One is just as good if not better. It does not have the features like stability, low light and the length of the recording time, but for not having to carry around both a camera and a camcorder it does really well.Memory - Wow 256Meg on board memory that holds quite a few pictures. I also picked up a 1GIG SD card for cheep and that holds 28 min of video or 800 pictures. That is a lot of memory space to hold your pictures and video.Size - It is smaller than my old camera. It will fit easly into a pant pocket. It's not the smallest camera made but its not bad.The short falls I was expexting and with the proper preparations there not that bad. The battery life is short, one battery lasted for about a day of taking pictures and video and looking at them. Kodak supplies 2 batteries with the camera and I also bought a third. If you keep the spare batteries charged AND with you, you will not have a problem.The time to take the first picture is on the long side. If the picture is not anticipated then you will miss your chance. Once the camera is ready then you can go from picture to picture pretty quickly. Its that first shot that can be a problem if your not ready.Overall I'am really happy with the Kodak Easy Share One. I haven't even used some of the other features like the wireless capability.
