Kodak Reviews

I received this camera as a gift. Not only is it convenient, light weight and all around very easy to use camera, I have found that it takes an exceptionally good close-up pictures of products that I would like to display on the Internet. Of course that's after I scanned them in and digitalized them.
I am happy to give up using my expensive, heavyweight, complicated 35mm manual setting camera for the same purpose with equally good results.

Very lightweight and cute. Will fit in your handbag (as mine always is!) ready for whipping out at the next opportune moment. :) easy loading and easy use. don't expect anything too fancy as it's quite a basic camera. perfect for keeping with you all the time. you can set the camera to say set messages on the back of each photo and it'll put in the time and date - on the back so your picture isn't obscured!

only problem i found is that the autofocus comes out and when you try to flip the lid down, the lid sometimes hit the autofocus - it doesn't do anything to the camera, but it might disturb the lens after a few too many hits. :( aside from that, it's a great camera. i only hope i don't encounter the same loading problems as i did with the C450. :(

A real disappointment. The carrying pouch and the organizer/memory keeper were not included. I went with the gift boxed camera because this was all-inclusive. The camera is a great buy, but lets not advertise a camera "bundle" unless one can deliver. This consumer didn't receive what was decribed.

The Kodak Advantix T550 Gift Box is a terrific buy. The camera itself is lightweight and easy to use. The autofocus prevents problems when there are multiple subjects in the picture, and the Red-Eye Reduction truly works. The fact that you're also given a wealth of goodies including the Kodak Picture CD, film, batteries, strap, and lots of coupons make this a great deal. Why buy just the camera when for the same price you can get a bunch of free stuff that makes the camera more fun to use?

This camera is great! It comes "ready to roll", film, batteries, it also has a convenient pouch. This camera is sleek, it fits in the palm of your hand, you could even carry it in your pocket. It has red eye reduction and the all glass lens is well protected by the flash/lens cover. I had a FUJI camera that drove me nuts, the batteries would run out all the time, and the film would get stuck, oh the pictures I lost! But with the Advantix T550 you will not have that problem because it saves your battery. You also have the option to add titles to your picturesand dates, for great memories. Like they say; "best things come in small packages" and honestly this is one of them.

I was snapping pics at a friends Housewarming Party with one of these Camera's (My Camera was different to the Black Camera shown here - It was Silver) However it was the same Kodak Advantix Single Use Camera. Loved the option of having two different Picture Sizes (Panoramic and Normal) Best part is when the Photos are developed all the Negatives are stored in a little handy Cartridge. No more Negative Strips everywhere!
PS: Pics turned out better than expected!! Grab one today! :o)

Every year I host a Christmas party, and somewhere between 50 to 75 people show up. Interestingly, although I take lots of photos, I never have any of the Christmas party, because I'm too busy playing "hostess" to take any pictures. This year, I bought a one-time-use camera, gave it to one of my friends and told him to take a picture and give the camera to someone else a few minutes later. By about midnight, all the photos had been taken, and I didn't have to do anything. This camera is great for this sort of thing because it's inexpensive and relatively easy to operate. It's a bit more complicated than the Kodak Access camera, because you can select print size between the three APS formats, whereas the Access model only gives you 4X7 pictures. Normally this isn't a problem, but if other people are operating the camera without supervision they may switch the format on you without being aware of it. If this is a concern, but you still want the option of different formats, I recommend looking at the Fuji Quick Snap Multiview APS disposable camera, because the format switch is under the lens, and people won't notice it unless they know how to use the feature. Of course, most photo labs will allow you to specify a format that all pictures should be developed in regardless of the format the picture was taken in. I usually specify 4X7, and have reprints done of pictures that I think would look good in panoramic format. The photos will come back with an index print and the negatives will stay in the film canister because this is an APS camera. Picture quality on this camera is satisfactory and the flash is strong enough to illuminate everything for several feet. I've used both this camera, the Kodak Access, and the Fuji APS disposables, and all are satisfactory. Recommended for those times when your regular camera isn't appropriate because of size or cost.
