Great camera for the price. But I guess you get what you pay for, bad warranty............

This camera takes really nice pictures. My wife bought this for a scrapbook for our wedding guests. Someone dropped this camera and now the film won't eject. We really like this camera but it's expensive and just not that durable. We still have $100 worth of film we can't use cuz the camera is busted

This is the second kodak 743 I had. The first one just stopped working for no reason. It was past the 1 year warranty,so nothing I could do. I loved the camera and wanted another,but when I received it and put the battery in,the screen was cracked. I guess I'll try another model

Got this camera in July and love the size and weight of it.  Taking pictures was quick and enjoyable and the movie mode has been awesome.  Got exactly what I expected from it until.... in late October the camera would no longer focus properly.  I've never dropped it and it hasn't been heavily used so I just can't explain what happened to it.  When turning the camera on and trying to focus it just gets out of focus regardless of distance to object.  This certainly is a warrantee issue, but luckily I didn't have to deal with Canon (who sound very difficult) due to the fact the airlines lost the bag the camera was in.

I actually liked the camera (used as a pet monitor) but it only lasted 5 months.  Otherwise very simple to set up and use both wired and wireless.  Now it powers on but you cannot connect wired or wirelessly so it's going in the garbage I guess.

I got the Kodak C875 as a gift just under two years ago, and at first I loved it. Previously I'd always had Nikon or Canon cameras. The camera is very easy-to-use right out of the box, and the one-touch transfer button on the charging dock (sold separately) is a nice feature for someone who doesn't have a lot of time to sit around uploading photos. It took some trial and error to get the best possible shots and learn how to work around the camera's small limitations, just as with any product.

Once I got familiar with the camera, I got some really great photos. As a "snapshot" camera it's great, particularly in outdoor sunshine. People were always complimenting the action shots I got of kids. But I was able to set up some nice shots using the manual settings as well. I have one killer nighttime closeup photo of a spider on a dewy web that I flatter myself to think looks quite professional.

In spite of all this I have to give this product only two stars and recommend against purchasing it, because the flash stopped working a month ago, and I am dismayed to learn that this is quite a common occurrence and that Kodak's customer service is completely unhelpful about fixing it. I can only assume it's another instance of planned obsolescence to keep people buying a new camera every few years. Sorry Kodak, but I'm going back to Canon and Nikon.

This camera worked well for less than a year. I love the remote feature, you can start and stop the video when you want. Battery life seems okay. However the last time I used the camera it simply quit working. It is a pretty expensive camera if you consider that it will operate for less than one year. I would not purchase this product again.

I had an error message appear about 1 year after purchase  and would not allow the camera to function.  I sent it in for repair or whatever, Sony sent it back and said that problem was not repairable. In other, tough #@&$. I went online to a similar chat room and found many people.with the same complaint. I loved the camera and had 2 friends buy on my recommendation , but I am looking for another brand since I don't want to spend 1000 bucks on a camera that has a problem only to be told tough $@^*^

I've had this camera for over a year now. I think I was able to use it for a good 4 months It is not being used right now because they took too long to send it back to me before I over seas. I gave the over a month to send it back to me. I bought this camera in June 2005. By October 2005, I started having problems with it shutting down whenever I tried to take a picture and left the lense protruding. I didn't send it in right away because I thought the problem would go away. I finally had to send it in because the problem increased. I got it back and it worked for a couple of weeks without a problem and then the problem started again. I had to send it in again and when I got it back the problem was even worse. So I sent it in a third time and requested that send me a new one but I got the same one back. I had to pay for the shipping all three times but they paid for the postage back. I wasn't charged anything since it was still under warranty. I don't know if they fixed the problem or not; I am very doubtful. I still gave them two stars because the size and the quality of the pictures in daylight and at night are really great. The battery and memory card cover is very flimsy.

It was great while it lasted !  The IR night vision went DOA  9 months after purchase. I am going to take it down and trouble shoot the camera to see why. I am also contacting Amazon to see about a replacement. I rarely use this camera, the camera is only used is when my new grandson needs a nap at my house. The rest of the time it's unplugged because it's in my bedroom. The camera doesn't have 24 hours of total use on it.

I bought this camera for my daughter for Christmas.  She loved it and it was a great first camera.  The batteries drained very fast and it didn't come with rechargable ones, only alkaline AA.  It's been 6 months and it won't even turn on anymore.  I found out that Kodak only offers a 90 day warranty and they want to charge me $45 plus shipping and handling to fix it.  I only paid $60.00 for it on Black Friday, so it makes more sense to buy a  new camera instead.  Maybe that's Kodak's idea too.

This camera worked great until it was just out of warranty.  After exactly one year, the LCD screen will only display the image upside down.  This is too expensive of a camera to stop working after one year.

I would have given this camera a 5 star review until a couple of days ago. After using and enjoying it tremendously for a couple of months (and after buying a three additional lenses for this camera body), things started going wrong. The first problem was relatively minor: all of a sudden, I could no longer download photos via a USB cord connected directly to the camera. This is easily worked round with a card reader but who wants a problem with a brand new camera? The very next day, a big problem showed up: the shutter speed dial stopped working. The button in the center of the dial somehow got jammed up so that I cannot dial in my shutter speed; the camera is now useless. These problems began showing up at the beginning of Labor Day weekend (can't contact Fuji for a couple more days) and past the time I could have returned the camera to Amazon. I am VERY disappointed.

Addendum, 9/2/14: Now that I have been able to talk with the Fuji repair people, I am feeling a bit more positive. They are aware of the USB cord problem and can fix it. The guy I spoke with had not heard of the shutter speed dial lock problem, but told me to send it in and they will fix it. We shall see. I was able to get the shutter speed dial rotating again, but the lock button appears to be broken. Am hoping that in 2-3 weeks I'll get an XT-1 with no problems. It's a great little camera, when it's working.

Addendum, 9/16/14: Two weeks after I sent it off, it's back with a snarky note attached, saying "Camera is in fair condition [it's in perfect condition other than the malfunctions!!], customer claims cannot connect to computer with USB card (sic), shutter speed dial lock broken... Checked all camera functions. Camera performs within factory specifications."

Now that it's back the camera will download photos via the USB cord but the lock button on the shutter speed dial is still not working. I am not going to send it back to them because of the lock button -- I can rotate the dial and can independently move the metering mode lever, as well, and can get along OK without the lock button. But I am not happy that this camera began developing any problems at all just 2 months after I bought it.

I am revising my rating and leaving it at 3 stars because the camera works really well, when it's working. Customer service I'll rate at mediocre. I'm hoping nothing else goes wrong with this thing.

Initially I was in love with this camera. Above and below water, it took excellent pictures. The video was great when snorkeling.in the Caribbean. However I have not used it extensively since I bought it. I was surprised then, when using it recently while snorkelling off the Bahamas, it simply stopped working. I checked to see if the battery chamber had leaked but there was no trace of water. Nor were there signs that water had entered the lens chamber. I have changed batteries with no results. I have concluded that it is not a reliable nor a durable product.

This was a great camera, until, just out of warranty, the CCD sensor failed and we're left with the dreaded black screen of death.  Canon has offered to fix it, for $140.

the picture quality was amazing while it worked. However less then a year or just over a year into owning it and using it sparingly it randomly just stopped working. weird.

Great camera while it lasted.  Bought in April 2016...quit working in Feb 2017.  Tried to have it repaired via Nikon but found out it was a GREY item, which means it was not authorized to be sold in the US.  As such, Nikon would not honor warranty or repair.  Unfortunate learning experience.
