kodak water sport video camera image
Kylie
I have a Kodak play sport underwater and land camera/video camera. I brought it to the beach a few days ago, and brought it into the water (Salt water). But when I got home I forgot to rinse it off, which I should have done because it wasn't in fresh water. Now when I try to open the side latches, the are stuck and won't open... How do I fix this? How can I get the side latches to open and close nicely/smoothly again? Thx for any answers! :)
Answer
Rinse it thoroughly and try again (try going over the catches with a toothbrush). The crusted salt is jamming the catches - which is why you're supposed to rinse it immediately.
If you're lucky, you'll simply learn a valuable lesson - if you're unlucky, your camera will be toast.

Does anyone own any of the Kodak EasyShare "C" cameras?

Which one? Do you like it? How much was it? How many megapixels? Zoom? I am trying to decide, there are so many to chosoe form, and they honestly all look the same to me!
Answer
I know where you're coming from, I had a hard time deciding what camera I wanted.
I have the Kodak EasyShare C875.... and needless to say, I LOVE IT!!!
It has 8.0 megapixels. It has 5x optical zoom. Then it has digital zoom.
It has a video recording mode that records sound. It has I do believe, four times digital zoom. When you take videos, you can select a certain frame that you like and make it into a still picture!
The picture modes are...
Smart Scene: Camera automatically selects the best scene mode for your surroundings.
Portrait: Use for full fram photos of people and other subjects.
Panorama Left-Right: Use for capturing Panorama images left to right.
Panorama Right-Left: Use for capturing Panorama images right to left.
Sport: Use when the subject is in motion.
Landscape: Use for distant scenery.
Close Up: Use for subjects closer than 28 inches (70 cm).
Night Portrait: Use to capture subject and background. Steady camera for best results.
Night Landscape: Use to capture distant scenery at night. Steady camera for best results.
Snow: Use for a bright snow scene.
Beach: Use for a bright beach scene.
Text: Use for photos of documents. Steady camera for best results.
Fireworks: Use for photos of fireworks. Steady camera for best results.
Flower: Use for close-up photos of flowers in bright light.
Manner/Museum: Use when sound and flash are not desired. Steady Camera for best results.
Self Portrait: Use for close-up of self. [Love this one.]
Party: Use for photos of people in indoor settings.
Children: Use for action photos of children in bright light.
Backlight: Use for photos where light is behind the subject.
Panning Shot: Use for expressing speed of subject in motion.
Candle Light: Use when capturing in candle light.
Sunset: Use in sunset light.
You can also take pictures in natural color, high color, low color, sepia, and black and white.
It also has a blur sensor, that will tell you how blurry your picture is. (Sometimes, you can't tell until you hook your camera up to the computer.)
The camera has some sound themes on it for when you take pictures, turn the camera on, etc.
The whole camera has amazing quality.
I bought my camera from Office Depot for $199.00... and I got some rebates back on it. They might have stopped carrying it because they got many new cameras in for the new year, but it wouldn't hurt to check around.
If all else fails you can buy one from the OH-SO-TRUSTWORTHY (not really) ebay, or you can get it from the Kodak website.
The standard warranty you get with Kodak doesn't cover drops, etc.. it does however cover cameras that has something happen such as the shutter quits working.
I learned this the hard way. I picked my camera out and it was bought for me for a gift. I put my camera on the railing of my dock a week after I got it, and I walked away and it fell off onto the concrete and broke. I had to buy a new camera with my own money. I bought the same camera (yes the C875) because I liked it so much. And trust me, I bought a additional warranty on it that covered dropping it, and having it fall into water.
Hm... The only thing that I can think of that drives me nuts about my camera is that everytime you take out the batteries, you have to reset the date and time. But hey, that's not so bad is it?
