The two digital cameras we own (Kodak EasyShare and Canon Digital Rebel) ranked highest on the J.D. Power & Associates 2004 Digital Camera Satisfaction Study!
The study measured owners' satisfaction with camera performance, now that digital photography has gone mainstream.

My 10 year old saved his money & bought the Kodak Easy Share and a printer dock. Within a year the camera wouldn't work...the iris or something inside keeps the screen blank. After calling Kodak, the only option was to send it in for $85 (plus shipping) minimum repair cost which hardly seemed worth it. Our other option Kodak told me was to buy a refurbished camera from them for $199 min. (plus shipping) and return the malfunctioning camera to them. In addition we'd have to buy an adapter so it could work with the existing printer dock! That didn't make any sense as the refurbished one is more expensive than the camera we initially bought! Now we have a printer dock that doesn't have a camera to work with it and I found Kodak to be exceptionally difficult to work with in trying to resolve the problem. Do we have a "lemon" of one of their cameras, maybe. But I would expect a company like Kodak to have goodwill and stand behind its cameras. The camera wasn't exposed to water or dropped which is what companies like Kodak like to claim so they don't have to be responsible for replacing the camera. We bought it a little over a year ago so now of course there is no warranty on it. I will never buy Kodak again. We've had other brand cameras that lasted us years (like JVC, Ricoh, pentax) I am so tired of all these companies making products that don't last..that is what makes us a throw away society!!
