Yea. I use the scandisk 4mg card in my camera, because I usually get near a thousand picks in a few days. I would definely use that card, cause I used a smaller one, one time, and I was gone for a few days, got home, and I didnt get a few days of photos because it was full. It works good.

It's about the only way to see them, unless you go to a store with your SD card and use the Kodak machine to look at them.
Using the software they provide is the only way you can get them off the units internal memory(which is very small) I recommend a SD card it holds more and is removable from the unit in the field. The other way you need to bring it all back with you. Just swap out SD cards.

answer 5

I would never purchase this camera again> I can't say the other brand is better, but read the reviews of this one. My battery contacts just broke weekend, I'm planning on sending it back today. My first review was of poor night pictures, that seamed to fix itself after a couple of weeks of bad, white blurs. Lots of people complained about battery contact problems, I thought it was because of cold. It was 90 here last week when mine broke on their own.

Question

How many of you have had the battery contacts break off ?

I did read some reviews of this problem before I ordered it. I put it off as the unit was cold and brittle at the time when people were changing the batteries, because it was fall. Well this last week my unit stopped working on it's own, I would restart it & program it. Then it stopped all together. Upon inspection I found all 4 battery contacts broken off. By the way it's been 90deg. here the last week, so cold has nothing to do with the problem. Be for warned of this problem. I didn't even touch the batteries for the last 3 months.
