Kodaks are very good digicam makers. Many of them tops the ratings at Cnet.com. Not to mention Kodak holds the record of the smallest cam with 10x optical zoom n the worlds first dual lens cam. I m into digicam since 2.5 years n knows evrything about it. Dont be in a impression that kodaks are not good, they are great. Just google Kodak vs xxxxx n see for urself.
