"Lens Error", August 2, 2008

Got the dreaded "lens error" message, and camera no longer works. Before you buy a Canon Elph, google "Canon Powershot lens error" and see what comes up.
Dreaded Lens Error - Beware!, December 31, 2008
ByJ. Stahmann (Orem, UT) - See all my reviews
I really liked this camera for the nearly two months that it worked, but unfortunately we were hit with the dreaded Lens Error which renders the camera useless. Unfortunately Canon wants nearly as much to fix this as it would cost to buy a new one, so we have a nice silver paperweight now.
Stopped Working After 6 Months Because of Production Flaw, January 16, 2009
Bywonderama (L.A.) - See all my reviews
This camera worked well after six months, but in the past week, after the camera opened, it stayed open and beeped, saying "Lens error, restart camera." Google this term and the Canon 1100IS and you'll see many people with the same problem. Owners who tell Canon about this problem are told to send the camera in for servicing and for their troubles are told that it's their fault instead of a production flaw.
A shame since I've bought numerous Canon cameras over the years and have found them to work flawlessly. There's even a class-action suit over this to get them to acknowledge the problem with the 1100IS. Google that and you'll find info on that too. The only justice in this is that a company's reputation takes decades to build, but only a few problems to destroy. They're frittering away their reputation, at least in the mind of this camera owner.
Pleased with product, October 21, 2008
ByMichael H. Rippe "M. Rippe" (Coon Rapids, MN) - See all my reviews
I bought this camera because it was recommended by Consumer Reports. My last digital camera was a problem plagued Fuji with chronic reliability issues--so I have been a skeptical digital camera user. This Canon is a feature rich camera. Nice zoom, takes quick shots, good battery durability, easy to use and friendly user software. I am confident in its long term reliability and consider it a good value.
Buyer Beware - Starts out nice but then dies at end, April 2, 2008
ByW. Hubbell (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews
Bought it was pleased with it - had it awhile and now it kills fresh batteries after only a handful of pictures. A friend had one and said she took it to best buy and the guy told her the camera had "died" and new batteries are not the fix - there was no fix - same thing happened to mine.
Please consider this possibility if you are buying this camera - would guess mine is a 2-3 yrs old and its dead. Suggest you buy a better name brand. I'm not buying Kodak next time.
Broke after 15 days and only used twice, August 13, 2005
ByRoberto A. Ducreux "Roberto" (Panama City, Panama) - See all my reviews
Good out of the bad. After so much reading I got my CX7430. The second time I went to use it, it turned on and never work again. The lense extended and did nothing else after that. The good part of the story is that I took it back to the Kodak dealer here in Panama City, Panama and within two days a I got not just a replacement but the step up model DX7440 for no extra money. Not much to say about the CX7430, but a big round of applause for the dealership here in Panama

Not what your looking for?, June 1, 2006
Byjohn berry "sam" (Whashinton, GH USA) - See all my reviews
this camera may look pretty but i dont like it one bit. I got this camera last summer before i went on a trip to ohio. At first i thought it was great but now ive totally changed my mind. This camera has bad image quality and is not reliable. It also has an extremely bad zoom and its horribly slow. Its already breaking too. Ive had this camera less than a year and im ready to get a new one. So please- if you are looking to purchase a good quality camera- dont but this one.
Proof that more megapixels does not mean more quality, January 3, 2008
ByJ. Hoffman (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews
The V1003 was purchased for my wife as a diaper bag camera, as my Canon S2 is too bulky to carry around for those cute impromptu baby shots. Unfortunately, this camera did not live up to the quality you would expect from a 10 megapixel camera. The pictures taken indoors with the camera were always very dark, even in well lit rooms. When you got close enough to a subject to offset the darkness factor (i.e., 3 feet away), it would be decently lit, but the picture would appear very blue in hue due to the flash. After doing a little research, I have found that the modern point and shoots with a high number of megapixels do not have large enough lenses to support the number of megapixels. I picked up a Nikon CoolPix 11 camera with 6 megapixels to do a side by side comparison. The difference between the Nikon and the Kodak were like night and day. My recommendation would be to find yourself an older model point and shoot camera with a max of 6 megapixels.
Great Camera with a Major Problem, April 21, 2008
ByCharles Whitlatch "cwhitla" (Duluth, GA USA) - See all my reviews
I wanted a small camera that took decent photos in available light and had high ISO sensitivity. Image stabilization and a wide range of manual setting were also high on my list. This camera delivers all of that. I was pleased with the quality of the shots even up to ISO 800. ISO 1600 was roughly equivalent to what ISO 400 was on my previous small Canon camera so the A590 IS can cover a lot of range in lighting situations. What caught me almost totally by surprise was the extremely poor battery life. Even without using the flash it seems abysmal. I have taken approximately 60-70 test shots and gone through 2 sets of alkaline and one charge from a pair of NiMH rechargeables. Admittedly this was using the flash about 30% of the time but that's still totally unacceptable. I realize that AA batteries don't have the life of a proprietary lithium ion, but this camera's battery life is so bad it makes it almost unusable to me. Seemed like whenever I turned around it was telling me that the batteries were low and needed replacement. I used a battery tester to check them and found that they still registered pretty good so I'm wondering if the camera's battery level sensitivity is just wrong. Either that or this thing sucks power worse than any camera I have ever owned. Whatever the case, I am truly sorry I purchased this otherwise fine camera. I would much rather have decent battery life than the dubious "convenience" of replacing AA cells all the time.
Update: With freshly charged 2500 mAh Ni-MH cells I am seeing an improvement in battery life, at least initially. So far I've taken 36 pictures and no low battery message yet. My previous usage was more intermittent so we'll see if these higher capacity rechargeable bring the camera up to what I consider reasonable battery life. My experience with alkalines is still totally unacceptable in my opinion.
It stinks dont buy it, January 23, 2008
ByMB - See all my reviews
We bought this camera for my daughter for Christmas 2007. She used it once, then it sat on a table until she went to use it again, and the LCD screen was broken. It had been a little more than 30 days so I could not return it to Amazon. I sent it away to Kodak to be fixed/replaced and they want to charge me more than half what I paid for the camera to fix a brand new camera. The camera stinks and Kodaks customer service, or lack there of stinks too. I will NEVER buy a Kodak product again. They do not stand behind their product. I would not give this camera any stars but the system made me. We never even got to see one picture from this camera.
A Waste of Time, Sometimes, November 4, 2007
ByDigital Photographer "Used to Like Nikon,s" (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This is really a very nice camera, but with some glaring deficiencies, first the manual is next to useless, tells you just about nothing, it is disjointed, disorderly and at best vague.
I think Kodak would have been much more honest to include a flyer inside which said, " you figure it out.
The viewfinder in low light is just fine, but, go out in a sunny day with the sun behind you and you cant see a thing, I wish the camera manufacturers would do something about this, 3 cheers for canon, they put an optical viewfinder on their point and shoots.
Very sad part, this thing takes some first class photos, sad part,I will return mine.
Highly Disappointing, January 5, 2008
ByE. Santos (Downey, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I bought this camera for only $140 and that price was one of the defining factors for my purchase. I had read all the reviews and yet I thought that this camera couldn't be as bad as some people thought. Sadly it is. I used to own the kodak V603, which was only 6 MP, but it still performed better than this camera. That camera was ruined after I went kayaking and I and my camera went into the water. I also used to own the C340 but my brother broke that. It was only 5 MP and did better than this camera. Next time I'll buy the V1253 as a replacement.
Negatives:
-The picture quality is low compared to the V603 except in bright light where it is about the same. Pictures come out blurry indoors and often grainy.
-In the sun, you can't see the screen at all.
-You can hear the camera zoom in and out when taking video, and even when it's quiet you hear too much noise.
-IT FREEZES A LOT. That pissed me off the most. I thought it was just my camera but my mom's friend has the same problem with the same camera.
-The button to turn off flash is in the upper lefthand corner, which is inconvenient for people like me who prefer it next to the On/Off button to immediately turn flash off.
-After using it awhile, it says "Unrecognized file format" when I go into review to view pictures it recognized only a minute ago. To fix that i just turn it off and leave it alone for awhile, but it does get annoying.
-Takes a long time to focus.
-Takes awhile to turn on.
-The camera itself is pretty thick.
-Anti-blur mode makes pictures grainy instead of blurry.
Positive:
-It looks nice.
-Good pictures outdoors.
-The joystick is fun.
-Perfect touch technology right on the camera.
-Over 20 modes to choose from to fit your setting, including panorama.
Overall, this camera sucks. Even though i haven't tried the V1253, I'd recommend trying that over this camera. At least the V1253 has face recognition, HD video, and a large screen that may actually show excellent quality pictures the V1003 can't deliver.
Fragile LCD... Watch out.., March 3, 2008
ByG. Chang (GA, USA) - See all my reviews
Nice one but ....
After 3 month light use, this camera has a crack on the LCD. I don't remember to drop it or hit it with something, but always within my pocket if I carry it. It is useless now. Still function but can't see the picture. Search internet for the LCD replacement and found some complain about how fragile this LCD was. Always a little bit late to catch the quality...There is a poor guy broke his second V1003 LCD. Not me for sure. Maybe a design issue..I will pay attention on the quality next time. You need to buy a protection case and good luck...
LCD IS TOO DELICATE / IS NOT PROTECTED, August 22, 2007
ByGift Card Recipient "Digital Camera LOVER" (San Jose, California USA) - See all my reviews
This camera has good quality pics/ 10 MB. It is kind of slow. I bought one about 25 days ago. THERE IS ONE BIG FLAW. The LCD screen is not protected. Many digital cameras do have a protective HARD COVER for the LCD screen. This camera is TOO DELICATE. I have bought more than 5 digital cameras for the last 5 years. This is the FIRST ONE that I broke the LCD screen.
Broken Lens, September 17, 2008
ByKatelyn Dearing - See all my reviews
I received this camera as a gift and had to send it in three times to be fixed. (Yes, I am EXTREMELY careful with my cameras) First, the lens would not go back inside. Second, because it would not charge. Third, for the lens again. I used it once after it got sent back and it broke again. A waste of time.
Wish I Had Returned It, May 27, 2008
ByJulia A. Mcferrin - See all my reviews
Kodak EasyShare V1003 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Midnight Black) You cannot use the anti-blur mode with any of the other modes. It seems very sensitive to movement. If you use the anti-blur mode and want to take a close up (or any other 20+ modes, e.g. landscape, sport), you are out of luck for anti-blur. I find this really annoying. I'm certainly not going to carry around a tripod for everyday, ordinary pictures.

Defective out of the box - $80 bill, March 30, 2008
ByM. Cunningham - See all my reviews
I purchased a Kodak V1003 camera prior to taking a short vacation. The camera was defective out of the box (frozen lens cover). Finally able to push the cover open (an unauthorized action), I managed to capture at least a few pictures and informed Kodak. The official response - Kodak repairs but does not replace defective cameras (brand new units included). Unauthorized damage/repairs void the warranty resulting in an $80 repair fee.
Buyer beware!
Not Happy with the V1003, March 26, 2008
ByLaura Leenderts (Hills, MN) - See all my reviews
I have had my Kodak V1003 for about 5 months and I am not happy with this product. I bought this camera because I loved my Kodak DX7630 but it didn't withstand a rainstorm (oops!). I thought I would update the features and size and ended up with the V1003. The camera is TOO SLOW. I have a small child who is usually half way across the room before the picture shoots. I have a lot of trouble with blurry photos and/or varying brightness and Kodak customer support has been unable to help me. They suggest using a tripod but does that really make sense for a point and shoot camera?!? I can take 10 pictures of the same item and get a variety of quality - some blurry, some too dark, some too light, and once in a while a perfect picture. The most attractive features of this camera are the physical size and MP. But 10 MP does you no good if the photo is blurry. When the camera is working well, it has awesome color and clarity - it just takes a lot of picture taking to get that one great photo.
