General Comments

I needed a small, cheap and effective camera and decided to go for the Kodak CX6200. You can't really go wrong with Kodak and this was no exception.
The camera is exceptionally easy to use and the menus are well laid out and simple to understand. To take a photo you just switch the dial to "auto" mode and your ready to snap away! It really couldn't be any simpler.
It can also record movies (without sound) and this function is just as easy as taking regular photographs.
The flash has 4 modes: flash off, auto-flash, fill flash and red eye reduction. I've found the flash to be more than adequate and managed to capture sharp, bright pictures even in rather dimly lit rooms.
The LCD viewfinder doesn't perform too well in dimly lit rooms though and shows a rather dark/grainy image. This is where the normal viewfinder is best used.
The 3x digital zoom performs ok considering its only digital zoom and not optical. Although using it deteriorates the image quality it's always handy to have.
The camera captures at 2 megapixels producing images up to 1632x1232 pixels. This is good for producing quality prints of up to 8" x 10". The camera has 8MB of internal memory and can be expanded with SD/MMC cards.

The supplied software installed without any problems and the camera was instantly recognised within Windows XP. Transferring pictures is a breeze, you simply plug the USB cable in, switch the camera on and the software instantly presents you with a window where you can choose to transfer all the pictures, or select the ones you want.

Overall im very happy with this camera. I paid £79.89 at Comets and for this price it's possibly the best camera you can buy. It produces great quality images, its simple to use and small enough to carry around in a pocket without any hassle. I'd recommend this for anyone just getting into digital photography as a first camera or for anyone who just needs something small and cheap that produces great quality pictures.
