I got this computer 2 years ago for $250.00.  kodak v530 digital camera

I got it and the first problem I had with it, first of all I use date stamp on every photo, so like I said the first problem I had that the Date on the camera RESETED itself every single time I turned the camera off. Sometimes I didnt notice it, and I was left on the computer, cropping the date stamp off and guessing and adding dates manually pictures by pictures, I contacted Kodak, I sent it in to them for repair, they sent it back, stating that there was no problem with the camera... And I still have the same problem to date. Second problem, the Battery on this camera dosn't last a thing, I had to purchase a second battery, and still Im left with a dead camera on any trip, even dough I use it at the lowest lcd brightnes and I put the camera in battery saver... dosnt make any differance... Third problem... All of the sudden all the screws fell off the camera... The whole camera body is holded by 2 screws, and theres supposed to be 8!!! it  stinks... 4 problem... the buttons on this camera are awkardly place, i dont have big fingers, but after a while of reviewing your pictures, your finger and specially your nails hurt..... 5 problem. the FLASH stinks.. its the worst flash ever.. You cannot take decent pictures indoors.uhhh.. the only good thing about this camera is the video.. takes decent video.... overall this camera is not worth its price tag..
