Christmas gift.......2007-11-29

I think I wrote a review on this product before. As far as shipment and delivery goes every thing was fine. As far as the actual product goes it's a Christmas gift so I really can't rate it yet.

Kodak won't service their product.......2007-08-30

The kodak camera we purchased worked fine. The dock broke after approximately 60 pictures. After tons of communications Kodak passes the buck and does nothing. Their customer service sucks. Do not expect them to repair anything that doesn't work. They lost it for 3 months and then made up an excuse that playdoh was jammed in our dock. We don't even own play doh or have any in our house. They are LIARS, do not buy from kodak if you like customer service.

Short lived!.......2007-08-14

We have been disappointed with both camera and printer during the two and a half years we've had them. We had to send the camera back twice during the first year for repairs after lengthy, tedious phone conversations with the company to assure them repeatedly that "no, it has not been immersed in liquid" and to go through a list of very obvious things to check for and eliminate reasons for it malfunctioning. The closure for the battery is now broken on the camera - we gave up and got a Nikon, which we love. My sister had similar problems with her Kodak in a short time period as well. The printer has been very temperamental and has finally died completely.
Good quality pictures, easy to use, but I'd recommend paying a bit more to get a product that will last longer and be more reliable. We have given up on Kodak.

Camera is fine, the camera dock is not the greatest........2007-06-01

I liked the price of the set and having the ability to print pictures with the printer dock is a good idea but I am having problems with the film cartridges not matching up with the number of photo cards that come in the set plus I am also having problems with the photo cards not feeding in to the printer correctly. You may want to buy the 160 photo cards set as the cost per picture is a lot less than the 40 or 80 card bundles.

My kodak.......2007-05-20

My family and i are very pleased with our new camera! It came in a timely matter. And is very easy to use.

happy customer

something's going wrong.......2007-09-25

I truly enjoy using my z650 and it takes superb pictures until now... I've only had my camera for less than a year and when I take photos, I'm getting a hazy photo with fine horizontal lines going across the display or it just shows up white. I raved about my camera prior to this malfunction. If it's something that I'm doing or "not" doing then I say go for it and purchase the product; however, if my camera is going haywire already then continue searching. Check a kodak z650 forum online to see what the problem may be. That's where I'm going now...

High Quality Camera!.......2007-09-07

The zoom is spectacular, and it is easy to purchase accessories for the lens. I always have my wide-angle and tele-photo lenses ready for superior photographs from my Z650. I highly recommend using the Kodak Ni-MH Lithium Ion battery pack with this camera for optimal performance, since rechargeable AA's drain too quickly.

Camera of My choice!.......2007-08-29

This is one nice camera! Great for everything from studio shots to action shots at the game. Compact and easy to handle.

LOVE IT!!.......2007-07-27

I bought this a year ago to replace my 35mm Pentax. I bought it from Amazon & it came with the camera dock and a KODAK Lens Adapter, 45.5 to 55 mm. I love the pictures that it takes. As far as the batteries, when you set the camera on the camera dock, the batteries recharge. I don't have any trouble with the lens cap staying on because it snaps into the lens adapter, which I usually keep on to protect the lens.

Decent camera, but what's up with the price??.......2007-11-21

Why is Amazon selling a camera for $198.89 when Kodak's MSRP is US $139.00? According to the specs, this camera does not include the printer dock, so it's not the combo price.

Great Little Own the Go Camera.......2007-08-19

I've been using this camera for a about 2 months now and over all its a pretty nice digital camera. Only real complaint I have is finding another USB locally. For the life of me I cant find mine and the port is so little that none of my other millions of adaptors will work. Overall a nice around time, quick snap shots of the kids camera.

Bad for outside use.......2007-06-06

My husband and I have had two of these cameras. They both lasted about a year. The first one quit working when we took it to the beach. It was 50 feet away from the water, and we covered it in a towel to keep it dry and sand-free, but it quit working that day. We got a replacement because it was still under warranty. The second one lasted a little over a year, and it quit working when we took it to a swimming hole with us. Again, we made sure it was wrapped up and inside a backpack. A friend took it out for one picture, and after that it stopped working. There was water involved both times, and I think that might have something to do with it, but neither time did the camera get anywhere near the water, and it wasn't humid, either. All in all, it's a cheap camera, and it's great if you never take it outside, but I wouldn't reccomend this camera.

Beware of the Repair.......2007-03-20

$ I just sent my camera in for repair to a location recommended by Kodak. I just received an estimate of $85.00 plus shipping, to repair the MCU, whatever that is. Anyway, as all may already know, this camera can be purchased here on Amazon for $95.00. So you be the judge. This camera should be advertised as a "disposable camera". When it costs more to repair something than to replace, it's usually called junk. Never again Kodak. Once burnt twice shy.

I like it..........2007-03-09

I got this camera for my birthday, it works really well! Not very expensive, takes [usually] clean photos, but lighting can sometimes be difficult. Video is good, but no sound. =(

Good for teenagers, if it's lost/broken you're not out a lot of money, small enough to keep with you, easy to use, and great for pictures of you & friends. I would definetly recommend it.

(PS, we got one for my grandpop's birthday too, and he understands the basics. Not hard to learn)

Great Camera.......2007-12-10

The Kodak C643 is a great digital camera. It comes with a load of features and is super easy to use. I have to say the photo quality is pretty good. Obviously the quality of the photos is not as nice as professional equipment but I have to say it is pretty good (especially for the price)! The camera runs on 2 AA batteries. You want to make sure that you use rechargable AA batteries as they last a long time on a single charge. Regular AA's will not last long enough. You can buy a pack of 4 rechargable AA's with a charger for about $20 at just about any electronic store or even at Target. This is a great camera overall!

Good Price, Good Quality for Price. What more do you need?.......2007-12-09

I got this for my birthday. I am an avid photographer and I really liked this camera. The quality is good, quite sharp and colorful. I never had the problems that the other bad reviews talked about. I got the stuff for a good price.

SLOWER and LESS VIVID than lesser Kodaks from the past.......2007-10-27

I have been a Kodak guy for sometime. I sold $100,000 professional Digital Cameras before most of you knew Digital Cameras existed. So I have an eye for color and what Digital is and does.

This camera is slower to respond to the shutter button than others I have owned from Kodak that were supposedly lesser cameras. It has nothing to do with memory speed. I am referring to the act of simply STARTING the shot capture. Too much delay.

Also the color is less vivid but more importantly not as accurate as supposedly lesser Kodak cameras I have owned. It just seems like as time marches on they expect us to expect less. Good enough is fast becoming the standard.

Easyshare Kodak really is!!!.......2007-09-08

This camera was a birthday present for my daughter, who is a realtor. She had been borrowing my camera so much that I was sure one just like it was a great present for her. And it was--she is thrilled to have her own camera. She first used it in Hawaii & was impressed when she could see the grains of sand in Waikiki Beach.

Great service from Beach Camera, too.

A Fun, Easy-to-use Digital Camera.......2007-09-03

The Kodak EasyShare C643 6.1MP digital camera with 3x optical zoom is a great first digital camera. It's easy to use and not overly technical. When you turn a dial or adjust a setting, that adjustment appears in writing on your LCD screen. You can easily zoom in and out on your subject: great for wildlife shots. I especially like making short movies of my pets antics, complete with sound! I liked the camera so much that I bought one for my brother and one for my mother. I would recommend this camera to anyone, especially those new to digital photography.

KODAK RIPS OFF THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS CAMERA.......2007-06-14

I purchased this camera for my office. I had to convince my boss that Kodak was a good camera and the dock system was the way to go...unfortunately my recommendation turned out to be a nightmare!! We spent almost $300 for the camera and dock station - haven't taken 75 pictures with the camera and it is junk! When I turn the camera on it extends the lense about 1/4" and then retracts and shuts itself off. I tried all of the sites from Kodak and after numerous correspondence with Kodak the conclusion is: 1. I can send the camera back to them and for $125.00 they will fix it. (I can buy a new one for $129.00) 2. I can send the camera in and they would sell me a "refurbished" camera for between $250-$300. OR 3. Pitch the piece of junk camera and buy anything else but a KODAK....I'm going with #3 !!! Save your money and time trying to deal with Kodak!!

Digital camera.......2007-05-13

This camera was worth the money. I like that if you take a picture and you do not like it you can deliete it right away.It is easy to use. I am still learning how to use it. I just like that a lot is turn on and pic a setting and take a picture.

Never buy a Kodak Camera.......2007-04-27

I have had this camera for about a year. It has been nothing but a problem. First, the kodak easyshare software has continuous problems. I have spent HOURS trying to fix it. Still has bugs in it no matter what I do.

Secondly, the camera is very unreliable. I have a wedding to go to this weekend and I do not trust it and am taking a disposable camera too. How do I explain the problems I have had? There are so many. The camera misfunctions continuously. Sometimes it does nothing at all. Other times the zoom lense will not shut. You turn the option selector on and even though it is on the option you select you get another option. I sometimes can not even shut the camera off I gotta take the batteries out to do so...if I can even find batteries that work in the camera.

Honestly, I call tech supoport and told them the problems I have having and they tell me that only Kodak batteries work with the camera and told me to buy some. SO I went to a nice camera shop and they do not sell kodak batteries. The camera salesman told me that Kodak cameras are junk and the brand of battery should not matter. I believe him. So my camera which would not work...I asked the salesman to help me out. It did not work with any lithium batteries.....reusable or rechargable. He popped in some alkaline batteries and amazingly it worked. Well, everyone knows alkaline batteries have a real short short life. My camera now does not work with either batteries. Probably only Kodak batteries....maybe....or maybe Kodak wants to get another ten bucks out of me.

I personally don't even think the pictures this camera takes are any good. Really, when people take pictures of me with this camera my eyes are always closed. I am so anxious to get rid of this camera.....well would be but know I gotta fork over at least $250 on a good camera. Trying to save money on this 'disposable' camera was a waste. STAY AWAY FROM KODAK CAMERAS! If you don't believe me get a creditable camera magazine and read reviews.

Pricey repair quote.......2007-04-10

I too purchased this camera online. I believe that the camera itself took quality photos, but upon the lense no longer telescoping. I contacted the repair line only to find out that they quoted me $150 for the repair! I could not locate my receipt, even though I purchased it new online and registered it, they would only say, "no receipt, no warranty". Valuable lesson learned.

Keep receipt... nice camera.

Excellent camera.......2007-03-07

I have never been an avid photographer, preferring much more to experience and enjoy the moment rather than fumbling around with a camera trying to get the perfect shot. This camera, with its ease of use and great picture quality, gives me the best of both worlds. I've had it for over 6 months now and have been very pleased with it. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is for one piece of misleading advertising. The camera is touted as running on AA batteries, but when you read the manual you learn that "standard" AA alkaline batteries are not recommended. You must use lithium or rechargeable batteries instead. This is probably the reason for many reviewer complaints about battery life and about the camera shutting itself off - it just doesn't run on alkalines. But I've had no problems running it on lithiums and rechargeables.

I also can't make any recommendations about the software one way or the other. I did the custom setup and installed the USB drivers only, which work fine. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements to do my editing and am thrilled with the results.
