kodak still in the dark ages
Well, others have had their say, so let me just add this. How can anyone in the 21st century make a camera that can't be used as though it were a usb disk drive. My first kodak digital camera was this dumb, but now, 10 years later I see these fools still don't understand how the rest of the world works. I don't want to have to install their stupid software, what if I'm not at home and want to load my pics on another machine. I guess I have to carry around an sd card reader.

Also, 1.45 volt alkaline batteries wouldn't even turn this puppy on. I had to use brand new 1.55 volt batteries. I'm thinking of returning this if I can since, naturally none of my 1.25-1.35 volt nimh rechargeables would work either.

Just to be sure, I put the 1.45 batteries into a standard 2 D cell flashlight (by using AA to D adapter shells) and it's as bright as anything brand new. And if you know flashlights you know the brightness is a very good measure of how much voltage the batteries can put out when in a circuit - even better than using a meter, unless you put a load on or use a special battery circuit with a load. So, if batteries this good won't even budge this camera, then forgetaboutit!

After trying many batteries, it is possible that this is just my camera, but other's seem to have had the same problems. So, I can't say if this is an un-feature of this camera, or if mine is just overly sensitive to the input voltage.

Oh, one more issue. They keep mentioning an a/v out, but there really isn't one. They imply you can hook directly to a tv, but you can't. All there is is a usb port, so you'd still have to install their software, and use that to transfer the files (instead of simply drag/drop) and then if you have a tv that can hook up to a computer, then you could show the pictures or videos on the tv. They act like you can just hook up a pair of a/v cables to the camera and the tv. I'd have to say someone screwed da pooch here. I don't think they are referring to the docking station connector either, as that is not where they point and say a/v out in the manual. The manual also says that it outputs either ntsc or pal. Either way, I can't find out how and they don't show any pictures of any a/v outputs.

I bought this here for a low price of under $60 and even then I wouldn't buy it had I known better.

unreliable
I bought one of these C533's to take to Africa 3 years ago. During my stay it stopped functioning and I couldn't get it replaced until I got back and then had to wait nearly a month for the replacement. Fortunately I was able to save the photos, its the camera's ability to focus and read an image that is unstable. Last week I was visiting my son in San Francisco and we went to a Giants/Dodgers game and darn if the same thing didn't happen again. I am not abusive to my technology, I try to keep it clean and safe from bumps and moisture.

I would not recommend this product. It is easy to use until it unpredictably won't work. There is an Australian joke that goes
Q: What do you call a boomerang that won't come back?
A: A stick

I just bought a Canon A470 for $110 that will do everything the C533 will do for significantly less. hopefully it is more reliable

Died immediately after warranty expiration...of course
The camera came with a poor excuse for a rechargeable battery pack. A full charge would handle shooting no more than a dozen to maybe a dozen and a half pictures. It didn't take me long to start using Duracells.

Shortly after I'd had the camera a year, and of course shortly after it went out of warranty, it quit working. It soured me enough that it will NOT be replaced a Kodak anything.

Good for Amatuer Photographers
The camera is nice, screen is clear, creates nice pictures. A great camera for a teen or anyone who needs to get used to taking digital pictures. The only problem with this camera is that it eats batteries. I would suggest purchasing rechargeable batteries. Also my daughter's camera only lasted a little over a year, and then it broke. When I took it to a camera shop to see if it could be repaired, they told me the computer chip was damaged due to age, and would cost more to replace it than to buy a new one.

Buy This Great Camera !!! Get A Memory Card And Rechargeable Batteries !!!!
I got this camera for less than 100 dollars. I love it. I hardly ever used it until I went to FL over the 2007 Christmas Holday. I went to Disneyworld and this camera fulfilled my expectations and more. I took still pictures and video with it. Mind you I bought a Memory card as without one you cant hold many picutures or videos. I never ran out of memory and the pics and videos were great !!! The only negative thing I have to say is the batteries sure go fast. I am thankful now that I had invested in an Energizer battery charger with rechargable batteries. I used the rechargeable batteries taking pictures in NYC and they lasted much longer than the regular batteries!! Buy this camera and you wont be sorry!!!!!
