  I bought one of these from the kodak online shop at the end of September 2007, attracted by the design, and my previous good experence of a Kodak Easyshare digital camera.
  <br>
  <br>I've found that unless photos are taken in brilliant sunshine, the photos are so grainy as to be useless. This includes photos taken with a flash.
  <br>
  <br>Thinking there must be a fault with the camera I contacted their customer care - I had just missed the one month window of opportunity for getting a refund, so after numerous, lengthy and exasperating conversations with various non-UK call centre staff, they agreed to take a look at it. The camera was duly returned with a note saying this sort of "noise" is normal for this camera - so not only am I stuck with a camera I can't use, but also the camera dock and memory card I bought to go with it.
  <br>
  <br>As the camera had only just been released in the UK when I bought it, the only reviews I could find were, I now suspect, planted by people with a vested interest in encouraging sales - take a look now, and there are many, many people out there who have found the same problem with "noise" as I have. I have owned other supposedly inferior digital cameras (including an earlier kodak one), and without exception, they have all taken excellent photos in all light conditions.
  <br>
  <br>I feel like I have been robbed, and I would urge anyone considering buying one of these to read as many reviews as you can before throwing your money away.
