My wife is taking a trip to Korea to Teach English to the children in the rural villages. I bought her a Kodak Easyshare 813 camera. I had a chance to try it out and was impress at how easy it was to use and the quality of the pictures. It had such features as 3X optical zoom, immage stablization, video mode, and pop up messages when you change the dial for the shooting modes. It is small enough to fit into your pocket yet still has the feel of a camera. I was very impress when I got all that for $99.00 and could have gotten it for less if I had had some time to search the internet for deals.

It seems like a nice little camera for someone who wants to take pictures without worrying about all the settings and things. I like the Kodak Brand for consumer cameras. Kodak is rated above average and a good value in many consumer and photo websites. I was suprised to learn that Kodak was one of the first to get into Digital Cameras but aimed at the very high end and only lately have they put this R&D into the consumer cameras. I will be interested to see what my wife has to say about this camera when she gets back.
There were a couple of important things to me when I purchased this camera. It takes 2 AA batteries, which are common world wide, and it takes an SD card, again almost the industry standard and available world wide.
Another very good camera if you want something with more control would be the Canon Powershot series (A500, A600, and A700). These are cameras that you can grow into but can use right now.

I think you have bought a good camera. Despite what others may say, Kodak Easyshare line of cameras have their owm special features. The one thing I find in Kodak and not in other brands is the colour.

For the most part the Kodak line of Digital cameras is a very good line of cameras for the average to above average photographer. I have read several reviewers who rank Kodak cameras just below Canon and Nikon for similar cameras in the non DSLR cameras.
