hp and kodak are both crap for the most part… depends what you want out of the camera… and who’s using it. all brands have crap, decent, and good models. i’m partial to canon and nikon ---

My parents have a Kodak. They’re super easy to use. It’s great for people that don’t want to fuss, however it doesn’t take the greatest photos. 75% are great. Just fantastic. The other 25% are skewed toward the bluish end of the spectrum. It’s not a big deal. My cannon takes better photos, but sometimes it skews toward the redder side. ---

I should say–I’ve been looking into Panasonic’s point and shoot line up. I think that will be my A75’s replacement. Anyway, this is from my parent’s Kodak C330. It’s a good gift camera. You know, something anybody can say “Oh a camera.” My mom is great with computers, but she hates having to play around with things. And if the pictures turn out bad, at least they know right away and can take another. It’s the best gift I’ve given them. This is going so off topic–but now I can secretly edit the pictures and have them printed, buy a frame, and bam-- x-mas present. And with their cottage going up, they’ll love having some 8x10’s on the wall of pictures from their trips. ![http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0094.JPG](http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0094.JPG) ![http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0097.JPG](http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0097.JPG) ![http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0083.JPG](http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0083.JPG) ![http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0081.JPG](http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0081.JPG) ![http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0080.JPG](http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0080.JPG) ![http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0141.JPG](http://usera.imagecave.com/redgoober4life/maine/100_0141.JPG) Imagecave “optimizes” the photos for some strange reason. They actually aren’t grainy. Kodak also had prints to us in 3 days. So the verdict on Kodak would be: great digital camera for somebody used to crappy disposables. Otherwise, there are better alternatives if you want to spend more money. ---

Also the SD400 has a better macro lense then the SD500, but the sd500 has a more of a dof lence. really depends on what you want. but again id sugget the sd400. i can get you one around the same price. ---
