Ya I guess the 10x zoom and 7.1mp, lithium ion battery and other options are common on cameras under $200. What was I thinking.

Definitely a good deal if your shopping for someone who isn't picky about what kind of camera they have...the features are there...

Kodak usually aren't that impressive though...but as I said, great deal for the right person...

For someone getting into digital photography, I'd have to say this is the best bang for the buck that I've seen.

The reason why the price is so low on that model is because that is our '06 model, which Walmart probably wants to get rid of.

As for the camera itself, I haven't seen any problem with it from our customers. Just make sure that you get a rechargeable battery for it because it doesn't come bundled with it. If you want to stay with Kodak rechargeable you can get the KAA2HR NiMH battery + charger, but that will cost you probably more than just getting a regular charger and 4 NiMH batteries.

If he's a fall off the truck guy, I'll stick with Walmart and a warranty/return option.

7.1 megapixels....Awesome deal.

Remember the rule about cameras, the higher the megapixel the better the camera.

And no one tell me otherwise!

lol...kodak = big pos, go canon! if its the price wait till boxing day, otherwise ur going to regret it i worked at fs for 3 years kodak = highest returned camera ... but if u dont believe me i bet you'll be posting "Kodak Never Buy" good luck

btw the 10x zoom means s h i t all .. depends if its optical or digital zoom and more importantly the lense
