In a few words, this is THE BEST digital camera I have ever used/owned. In the time we have owned the camera, the pictures, video, and ease of use have been incredible. It is really easy to use, has many features which make it VERY simple to use - which is what a point and shoot camera should be. I've used an SLR, but needed a simple camera to just take great shots w/o effort. It only has three buttons - one of which is an info button - providing answers to questions about whatever is on the current screen. I didn't buy it for the touch screen, but it is great for flipping through photos for the one you want.
If your comparing with a Canon you should check the Kodak V1073 out first. I can't really speak for other Kodak cameras. I tried using one other Kodak model, and it seemed study, yet compared about the same as the other digital cameras around. The V1073 seems to be an (successful) experiment in breaking away from the typical Kodak camera, so I would limit my recommendation

CANON: The main reason I switched from

Don't buy this camera to use for video unless you don't mind it looking worse than what you'll find on You Tube. The video playback is horrible on a Pentium IV 3.0GhZ, 2GB RAM, 256MB ATI Radeon, 120 GB Sata-150 hard drive. Why? The Quick Time hardware CODEC used by Kodak is incompatible with the software CODEC provided by Apple.
I bought this camera because of the advertised HD video recording capability. I wanted a small device to carry with me to "capture those special moments (c; Maybe even velcro it to the inside of my motorcycle helmet for some "stock footage" (-:
The video records just fine, and plays back on the camera's screen without a hitch. Copy the video (Quick Time MP4) to a relatively fast PC (with QT 7.4 Pro installed) and the video stalls, stutters, and rarely synchs with the audio. Heck, I could have taken still photos with my Rebel XT, taped the audio with my ZEN MP3 player, used Microsoft Movie maker, and ended up with a better result!
I traded a half dozen

I purchased this camera primarily to upgrade to HD video capability from my current Casio EX850. Unfortunately, the Kodak camera lense periodically "clicks" as it tries to adjust for lighting changes, which shows up on the video. The quality of the video itself is much more detailed than my Casio, which only shoots video at 640 x 480 30 fps. However, the Kodak sound quality on videos is noticably poorer than the Casio. Another important note, my PC's Windows Media Player cannot read the Kodak video format and had to use Quicktime instead. Finally, the cameras battery compartment doesn't lock very well and easily slides open when handling the camera.
After a week of use I decided to return it. Although, this 2nd generation HD video capable V1073 is an improvement over the first generation V1053, its still not quite there yet in my book.
