Schauzer-Kraut who? Must be Kodak's equivalent of Carl Zeiss. Insert a cool German name here and that means your camera is AWESOME!

Kodaks seem to suck

Is this thing just an SLR-like camera? I guess 12x optical is nice.

#2, that was funny...Danke Schoen

I think #6's comment was funnier. SLR-like? Haven't seen one yet with 1/10th to 1/20th the sensor size.

i have the first version of this camera (10x optical zoom). it is a good point and shoot camera. the price is good.

The 12 optical on this thing is sweet, but it makes the camera a bit bulky.
