Question

please answer, I really need help!!!

Answer 1

It gets a great review from Steve's Digicams: http://www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/s600.html
The only other site that I trust for reviews, dpreview.com, doesn't list the s600 (yet).

Answer 2

You can search on amazon.com to learn about features and highlights, and reading some customers reviews, like the following:

1. It was under 200 bucks.
2. It is incredibly easy to use.
3. It has a very bright flash.
4. It has AF illuminator so it focuses well.
5. It sings a little song when it turns on.
6. It takes pictures without me having to do anything.
7. 3X optical is standard, and good enough for me.
8. 6MP is really all a regular guy/girl needs...
9. Carl Zeiss Lens. I don't know what that means, but cool.
10. You can quickly and easily access your files without installing their software if you want...unlike many Kodak cameras.

I am disappointed that:

1. The camera runs on AA batteries, but this is kind of an advantage if you were to run out on vacation...plus you can get 4 NiMH batteries and a charger for 25 bucks.

2. The software is good...it organizes pictures but has absolutely no editing features. This is okay, because I have access to PhotoShop CS2 at school, but for you it might be important to know.

3. The camera doesn't have many scene modes--just the standard 6 or 7 rather than the 16 that the Olympus cameras have.

Remember to buy:

1. At least a 512 MB Memory Stick Pro Duo to take 160 or so pictures in one go (50 bucks or so).

2. Rechargeable AA batteries and a charger (25 bucks or so).

3. Case (10-15 bucks or so).

Answer 3

I recommend the kodak easy share. It is very user friendly and has many cropping and enhancement options. Hope this helps! :)
