Kodak EasyShare C763 Digital Camera

I bought this camera because I had finally convinced my husband after 7 years that we needed a new one. We saved up the money for one and went shopping. We chose this one because we liked the 7.1 MP and it looked easy to use, plus it came in a store deal where you got a memory card and a little bag with it. They didn't have any more in stock and had to ship it from the warehouse, which was okay with us, no real complaint there. BUT-when we got our camera in, I found some problems, both minor and major to me.
***Minor cons***-
I couldn't ever find a way to transfer pictures from internal memory to a card-if there was one, I never figured it out in the 2 weeks I had it. I figured out how to transfer pictures from the card to the internal memory, but not the other way around. I couldn't find anything about it in the book, either, which is my next minor con. The book was a half and inch thick only because it was in 7 or 8 languages. There was very little actual information in it, and I never was clear on what things like burst, exposure compensation, exposure bracketing, white balance, etc were. There was software that came with it but I have my own printer for printing pictures and didn't need my computer, so I never loaded it. It could be that there was more information on there, although it did say it had 'lots of great offers' on it so I just wasn't interested in loading it. If it had more info about the camera, they really shouldn't have put it there; keeping it in the manual would have been wiser. Either way, I don't know for sure. Maybe another kind reviewer would like to expand on that, and on the transferring pictures problem I had.
Another minor irritant with this camera was that the battery had to be charged outside the camera, and every time I put it back in the camera I had to reset the date/time.
***Major cons***-The menu wheel was placed in a very awkward position. Many times I went to take a picture and would accidentally turn it, and lose a picture because the camera then went out of picture taking mode to tell me about the selection. I lost a LOT of pictures that way. The other major con was the fact that it couldn't seem to focus on close objects, even in macro. I would frame the subject and push the shutter release halfway down so it could focus, and while it was doing that I could see a very clear picture, but when it was done and ready, the picture wasn't clear like I'd seen it while it was in the process of focussing. It was very frustrating. One more major con, the blurring factor. In indoor lighting I could hardly ever get a green hand (this camera's way of letting you know if the image was blurry or how blurry), no matter how still I was and what setting I used. If it was close up or low/indoor lighting, I was getting a blurry picture even if my (real) hand was being steadied by a solid object.
In conclusion, I'd like to say the only things I liked about this camera were ease of use/operation (being basic and simple) and it took good pictures outside in a faraway setting on sunny days. I wish I could recommend this camera to a beginner at least, but I just can't-not knowing there are so much better ones out there for the price. I would like to add that when I took it back to Best Buy where I bought it, they didn't charge the restocking fee since I traded up. I bought a Hewlitt Packard Photosmart R837 that was a little more than this Kodak, and they waived the fee. Had I just gotten my money back or traded for a less expensive camera, they would have charged that 15% restocking fee. I'm now off to write a review for my new camera!
