Have the camera bought 4 weeks before and am very satisfied. Possession besides this camera a Canon PowerShot A700. Unlike the Canon Kodak C613 provides less specialized settings, but it scores with a long battery or battery life, snapshots (with flash can be fired in rapid succession images), and in the price. Actually, the ideal vacation camera. The pictures are convincing in terms of quality, nice sharp color images in 3 Megapixel setting. The menu is clearly designed and provides the necessary manual adjustments. Would recommend this camera also apply to persons who are not familiar as in the photographic art. Can this camera only recommend, as entry-level, second, vacation or simply camera as a camera for the average private use!
