No one makes point and shoot cameras any more.
A group called JKImaging took up the torch and licensed the Kodak name, and contacted the manufacturers who made the Kodak cameras and struck a deal. They were making Japanese name brand cameras under license as well.
I wanted a pocket point and shoot I could stuff in a pocket and take for a bike ride. I have a lot of cameras but wasn't about to pack them up on a bouncy mountain bike.
I tried a couple others but they just didn't fit the bill. So let's look for a brand name with a reputation.
No Nikons. No Canons. No Fujis. Let's try Kodak
This thing is loaded with features, has a good lens and a more than adequate sensor. Auto mode is really good, program mode is very good, and manual is everything you want.
The others washed out on telephoto photos, low-light photos. and landscapes. They were good for close up snapshots, and had good features, but I wanted more.
For $100 I got it.
For serious photos it's not going to replace my Nikons or my Fujis, but far more than adequate to stuff in a pocket and go. Beginners can use Auto or Program and get good shots, and as they learn more can go to Manual and set whatever they want.
My one complaint is the preview in Manual doesn't give an adequate representation of the resulting photo. Ten years ago i had a pocket Olympus that would. Except for that one detail, this is as good as that, and I took some great photos with that camera.
The photos are unretouched except for resizing. All straight from the camera. One is Auto, One is Program, and the others are Manual.
I'm a "Semi-Amateur" photographer. I take photos mostly for my own gratification, but I've had Galleries, sold a few, and a few that were published. I know what I want my photos to look like, and I can get it with this camera. Sometimes the definition isn't as good as my DSLRs, but then, I didn't pay 30 times what this cost.
Very good little camera.
This camera is great! You really feel like you're back in the 2000's with this one and I can't wait to continue using it for my upcoming trips!
