Customer Reviews:
A best buy
This digital camara is a very nice camara. You can take photos and videos with this camara. This camara comes with a program for your computer to load photos and videos from your camara to your computer.
You can take photos by looking in the viewfinder or the screen. Looking at the screen to take photos is more fun, but I get better photos with the viewfinder and the screen uses more power.
The camera came with Kodak batteries, but I would recommend rechargeable Energizer AA batteries with a charger ($1$$) because they can last up to 205 photos before you need to recharge the batteries.
The Kodak batteries only last about 140 photos before you need to BUY more batteries.
The camera comes with 8MB internal memory and a memory card slot. You can also buy memory card for the camera 16MB,32MB,64MB,128MB and 256MB memory cards.
The internal memory is if you plan on taking 9 photos in the best photo quality with the best (3.2) setting you can take 10 photos before the memory is full.
The better photo quality can take about 18 photos before the memory is full and the good setting can take 30 photos before the memory is full.
You can also turn the flash on and off, a 10 second timer for the shutter, you can change from color to black & white or sepia.
Overall this is a very nice digital camera.
Great camera for kids
I would recommend this camera to anyone who needs/wants a camera that is really easy to use. We purchased this camera for my 10 year old son 4 months ago as an alternative to a disposible camera. He was able to use the camera immediately with very little assistance and has taken hundreds of pictures since. He loves viewing the pictures immediately to determine if it is a good picture or not. The picture quality is very good (equal to our Nikon 800.) The battery life is also very good, but you will probably want to invest in rechargeables. If you can live without zoom capability and want a simple; reliable and low cost camera that takes good pictures, the Kodak 6200 is an excellent choice. Note: Ecost is a good site to get inexpensive memory.
For $75, it beats the Vivitar
Situation: Camera for precocious 5 year old
Experience: Kodak, Fuji, Nikon & Canon digicams ($300-$1+k range)
Rating Justification: It’s interesting how some folks will take a $2 knife an attempt to perform precision brain surgery with it. That’s a humorous way of saying this camera – at $75 sale price – is a great introduction to digital photography. Kodak has produced at least 3 top-flight consumer/prosumer cameras and is known for the quality of their image and color capture software (see various camera reviews on www.steves-digicams.com & imaging-resource.com). Kodak also makes some serious digital equipment for top-flight professional photographers (DCS-1, I think). So anyone implying that Kodak doesn’t understand digital photography isn’t providing the whole story.
This camera follows a time-honored, age-old Kodak tradition to get the non-techie into cameras as cheaply and easily as possible. Thus the Easyshare line, a line of cameras designed to make going from image to memory book as easy as possible.
This camera is an ENTRY level camera in the Easyshare line. The camera is the digital equivalent of Kodak’s old Instamatic – that single-focus, 1 film-speed mainstay of KodaColor glory. The CX6200 is small, simple and shoots what it’s pointed at. It takes reasonable pictures w/the color Kodak is famous for. And it does this for about $0.30-.70 per 4×6 print with a cheap printer. If you are looking for a take-it-anywhere camera that lets you see what you’ve just captured, stores 75-150 pics and won’t cause tears if it’s dropped/lost, this will work.
Problems? Sure – it doesn’t zoom, can’t adjust exposure and could break its plastic case if it’s dropped. It also isn’t a good camera to “learn” photography on (not enough features). But for some consumers, it’s the right tool for the job. [NOTE: I would suggest this camera to those already using SD/MMC somewhere in the household; just pass down the smaller-sized flash memory to whoever in the family gets this camera. I would also ALWAYS recommend a memory card reader over installing the software. I just don't like software I don't otherwise need cluttering up my computer.]
Like any inexpensive item, there are many things it doesn’t do. But as an entry-level, memory-capturing scrapbook filler, most users will be satisfied. Consider this a cheap intro that should provide results and pleasure at not-too-great a price. Are there other choices? Always. Be a wise consumer. Tired of shopping? You could DEFINITELY do worse than this camera as a beginner.
Make up your own mind – check those web sites out.
And I’m buying one TONIGHT for my 5 year-old…..
