A good five or six years ago I purchased my first digital camera. It was a Medion, which is a cheap brand, and was about forty something pound, which was quite cheap back then. It was a small camera and has really been great. I have taken all sorts of photographs with it and been pleased with results. However earlier in the year the flap which opens to access the batteries and memory card became a little broken. The camera was fine but looked a little unappealing, with an elastoplast stuck over one end, on holiday this year. Eventually at a family do this Autumn it gave up the ghost and so a new camera was added to my Christmas List. I was not sure what I wanted. as I am not very technical.. but I knew that I wanted a camera which was compact, took great snaps and was not so expensive as I would not dare to take it on holiday with me.

When Hubby's staff discount day at Asda came around in early December we decided to have look at their camera section. Of course there were many all singing and all dancing cameras, most of which were more than I wanted Hubby to pay. However on the whole digital cameras have come down a lot in price. I spotted the Kodak Easy Share Digital Camera at a mere 35 and wondered what the catch was.

However on face value it looked like it might be just what I wanted. With Hubby's staff discount the price cane down to a very cheap 28. There was an offer to purchase an easy share printer with it but as we have two printers at home we declined. However if the offer is still on it is a good one. We were given a voucher for a special offer for free prints at Asda and the bargain was sealed.

So this camera has been hiding in it's box till yesterday but now I have had a chance to play with it a little and I must say that up to now I am very pleased with it.

Unlike my old digital camera the Kodak easy share sort of resembles a traditional , black camera from the front. It is about 4 or 5 inches long by about 3 inches wide and about an inch deep. As such it fit's nicely in the palm of my hand and would fit easily in my pocket or handbag. One thing to note is that there was no carrying case provided. However it will fit in my old canon camera case and I know you could buy a case easily and cheaply. There is however a wrist carrying strap which you
