Although it is one of the rare cameras with a 2.5" LCD and an optical viewfinder, the Kodak Easyshare doesn't do much to impress. In the world of ultra-compact cameras, it is mostly average. The image qualiy flaws are typical of ultra-compact cameras (corner softness, high noise-levels and chromatic aberrations) and so it the por battery life. For roughly the same price one can get the much better Fuji Finepix F10.
