Camera help needed  email this discussion to a friend?

Do any of my friends out there know anything about cameras? I bought a KodakEasyShare Camera last year around Christmas time. I love it. I purchased the dock and all so I can print my own photos right at home. Last week I took the camera out to take a picture and it said that I had to format the memory card. I went threw the process and it said memory card is unusable (insert new memory card). I went out and bought a new memory card and formated it and then got the same message with that memory card. I am thinking that it is something wrong with the camera~ what are the chances that I would have 2 bad memory cards. Some friends are telling me to ditch the camera and buy a new one because it will be cheaper than having someone fix it. What do you think? I am trying to contact kodak, but the online customer service is not working. If I buy a new camera, it would be the same kind since I have the dock ect for it. What would you do? Any advice is helpful.

I had one of those cameras and had nothing but problems after the first year. It is less of a headache and much easier to purchase a new one. I still like the Kodak brand, but the easy share should have never made it to the market.

So it is the camera! Thanks for sharing your experience with me regarding this camera. I was going to buy another one~ you saved me from the same headache.

I've had a Kodak camera too, but the Easyshare was anything but easy to use. And it costs a ton for accessories that seem "essential".

I'd recommend that you ditch Kodak and invest in a new camera; then, use the memory card with THAT camera. I can say from first-hand experience that Canon is an excellent brand...no problems with it and this is from three years of usage (of course, you're still free to give anything else a try). I don't suggest you go back to Kodak though.

Thanks for your advice. I would have never thought of using the memory card with a different camera. I am not too camera savvy~ I will look for a canon now.

Isn’t there a phone number you can call for support- I live near Rochester and I worked for Kodak for years in the accounting department- Seems to me if you bought it last year and it has not been a year- it should still have a warranty- I’d try to keep contacting them and see if they can tell you what that means or why it is giving that error- I’d do this prior to buying a new camera-

It isn't still under warrenty. They said that I could buy a new one and trade that one in and get 15% off the new one. I am not sure yet what to do. I live in Jamestown, where are you near Rochester?

I am in Dansville- It's about 45 miles south of Rochester- In between Rochester and Corning-
what did you decide to do? Buy another by trading it in? or get it repaired?


myLot reputation of 97/100. sunshine4 (6293)   ranked 118 out of 32,944 in life  5 years ago

I'm still deciding what to do. I will probably end up trading it in and then I will definitely get an extended warrenty for the new one.
