For an amateur (like most of us), a Kodak EasyShare Dig. camera should take pretty good pictures. (6 mpx is more than what you need for sure).
Since none of us (including 7 other ppl who tried to answer your question) know exactly the setting when you took the picture, I thought to give you a few simple advice [forget about the #'s & lens this lens that, technical advice doesn't always help everyone]
1. Make sure your lighting is appropriate: make sure the sun, flash light, window without curtain or shades, huge ceiling light, or other lighting source is BEHIND or RIGHT ABOVE your head.
Make sure your flash is on if you are going to take a pic when its dark.
2. Make sure your distance is appropriate: Obviously, you don't want to hold a camera on your own in front of your face and smile, or assuming your camera's auto zoom was enough to take pic of you when you stood 50-80' feet away from you... too far or too close will do no good.
3. Make sure your face is appropriate: take picture when your happy- not when you're sad or pissed off; put some minimum make-up on if it makes you prettier; relax your face, mind, and body if you don't know what to do, and smile doesn't guarantee the best pic of you.
4. Make sure your camera is appropriate: if you dropped it, didn't charge the battery at all, messed up the setting (re-set to default if you did). Double check ur lens, too. Make sure you use soft cloth for fragile surface cleaning purpose only, not ur kitchen cloth or underwear. Make you pur camera away from warm-hot environment (car in the middle of the parking lot under a sunny day), keep it dry or away from potential water source (dinner table, bathroom, kitchen, pool, beach side). If you think its broken, take it back to where you brought and have them do an estiamate on repairing, or simply ask for help from the sales associates.
Camera don't like, so good luck :)

How did you have the camera set up?
Were you holding it in your hands when you took the picture?
Did you use a tripod and a self timer?
without these details it is hard for me to nail down why your pictures did not come out right
Personally I do not like the Kodak digital Cameras because there lenses are not the best.....
but then again I have been a professional photographer for 28 years....

You should trust your digital camera to do what it was designed to do. Try reading the users manual. If that doesn't work, contact Kodak's customer service dept. Also read your warrenty to see what it covers. Good luck.

try using the zoom and stand farther.
For portaits pros usually use 85 or 150 mm lenses (with 35 mm cameras) so put the camera on a tripod or stand use the timer to go where it's taking the picture.

no the camera always lies.... lol. it could be the angle or the lighting, or it could be u, but i doubt that, what could be the problem is, you may not take pictures very well. some people are photographers others are not, no shame in that. just keep working and it will be fine

Try 'blurring' it on your computer, it gets rid of the wrinkles etc.
