Canon Powershot A530 is also a good solid 5MP camera. It can also be a alternate choice. But..It has slow flash rate between shots. It also has less battery life. Since it uses 2AA Batteries, it's bit bulky in design. Otherwise it is a perfect camera.
Regarding Kodak, it has sluggish start-up (takes about 5 seconds to start-up)and also slow from shot to shot. It's interface without dedicated ON/OFF button is messy.
