Great camera, one big flaw

Overall, I love this camera. It takes excellent pictures for the point and click picture taker. I don't think I have ever had pictures that looked this good. The only big problem is that the camera does not have a view finder, only the LCD screen. I normally only use the LCD screen. The screen is large and easy to see as long as you are not out in the bright sun. It's impossible to see the screen if you are outside in the bright sun. With that said, I was still able to get some amazing beach pictures, even though I couldn't really see to be sure I had the picture exactly like I wanted it. I also like that you can adjust the zoom when taking video clips. My old Kodak wouldn't do that. The camera also takes incredible pictures at night. It gives you a soft green light to shows you where it's focusing. The battery doesn't seem to last as long as it the battery in my old Kodak, but I didn't have any issues with it dying while I was out. I do like that you use the same cable to charge the camera and to hook it to the computer to transfer pictures, but I would have liked to have been able to use my old Kodak docking station to charge and transfer pictures. It would also be nice if Kodak didn't have a different battery for every camera. This is my third Kodak and each one has had a different battery requirement.
