Great beginner camera!

After dropping 2 expensive digital cameras, I was put on a budget for my 3rd. After visiting Walmart, I decided on Kodak's EasyShare CD33 3.1.
This camera has been a Godsend. I have dropped it twice now with the lens OUT, and it is still working. **Not that I recommend dropping it**
Mainly used for taking pictures of my children, and my eBay listings this camera does remarkably well.
Taking pictures is pretty self explanatory, when using the dial to choose settings. I use the automatic setting, and the macro setting the most. Automatic does great for my clothing and kids. The flash works well for closer items. Macro does well also, but is a little tricky upon first using it.
It has a 3X optical zoom, which does well for pictures of things not more than 300ft away. Anymore than that and regardless of zoom your subject is about this "O" big.
The flash as I said before, does well with indoor and outdoor but only if items are not more than 30 or so feet away. On a recent camping trip, I tried to take pictures of a herd of deer no more than 150ft from me at dusk, and all I got was the whites of their eyes.
All in all, for under $100 this camera works well. Uploading pictures to your PC is easy and quick. Although I don't recommend Kodaks photo editing program that comes standard with this camera.
I hope this helps you on your quest for a new camera!
