I remember when this camera came out, and I was immediately underwhelmed by it. I’m kind of shocked, but not surprised. People are overhyping this camera. Now I remember the original reviews on Kodak’s website weren’t even very good when it first released. That’s why I’m kind of taking a break from the photography community because it seems like everyone just blows these cheap cameras way out of proportion and overhypes everything so much now it’s just ridiculous. Honestly, this camera is nothing great and doesn’t deserve all this praise. It’s low budget, it’s cheap, and the images that it produces are worse than disposable cameras. Pretty much anything is going to give you better results than this thing.
Meh get the Kodak 528, its only a bit more expensive but waaay better.
I have both and wish i got the 528 right away.
Probably because digital cameras are crazy expensive
Apple fuckers try to say “phone” challenge
I have a 2009 Canon S90 pocket digital that was briefly trendy on the internets…I’ve had it since new and ..l mean, it does have a ‘vibe’. I prefer its photos to my over-enhanced iPhone 16pro photos. That said I prefer my Fuji cameras for everything except portability. But I get why gen z likes these things. It’s all vibe.
