Great camera for the money

pay no attention to the reviewer who gave this camera 1 star, he or she apparently knows nothing about photography and especially this camera.  The only downside (which the other reviewer pointed out) is the battery consumption.  They just weren't informed enough to know what was going on.  You MUST get the Kodak lithion battery and a charger.  A smart shopper can pick the charger and battery up for less than $30 and you should be able to get anywhere from 100-300 pictures per charge.  If you try to use regular AA batteries you will be shocked at how quick the die (5-20 pictures).
