Nice

I used to have a Kodak Easy Share digital camera, it sucked. It really sucked. I destroyed it rather than giving it to someone to be frustrated by it and bought a Nikon.
When I went to Tampa last week, I forgot my camera, a Nikon Cool Pix 3200, it's a good camera, it takes good pics and decent videos but the zoom sucks.
I don't always like to spend $hundreds to see sporting events so I'm not always in front so the zoom is important.

While in Tampa, my friends wanted a WII, they were supposed to go on sale but we were a day early at WalMart, but I needed a camera and wanted one with a good zoom. The choice was a Nikon (which I liked my last one) with a 15X zoom but it was very big with stuff sticking out all over, and a Kodak Easy Share Z950 with 10X zoom, both around $230.
I'm rough on my possessions, I stick my camera in my pocket all the time and the Nikon one wouldn't. So I reluctantly bought the Kodak expecting to hate it, I saved the box for when I would return it.

Man was I disappointed, it worked great.

Very nice.

Another good thing about this camera, it has image stabilization and it works.
My football game pic folders always finish with blurry pics of cheerleaders as my enthusiasm and the beer (but mostly the beer) take over.
But check this out

Not blurry!
Good camera.

1 That it is good, and amazing zoom. Years ago we bought the baseline EasyShare CX 7300 (no zoom at all) as a first digital camera. Moved on to a Nikon (which I inadvertently destroyed) and the present Canon A590. Like the Canon, but still use the EasyShare from time to time. It fits the pocket better, and is less complicated.

2 I should have mentioned that, this camera is easy as anything to use, all the directions you need happen on the screen when you hit buttons.

The pics are also incredible, they're 4000 X 3000 pixels. I didn't realize that and at first when I uploaded the pics all you could see was a close-up of the grass. They're 12 megapixels, the guy at WalMart said he turned it down because the pics were so huge. I got an 8gig card for it so huge pics aren't a problem.
