The Kodak Easy Share P880 takes a great picture, but has the digital lag that limits usage somewhat for events that there is a lot of movement.  I like the manual zoom very much - it is a lot quicker than electronic zoom and it doesn't eat batteries.  Also has a little bit of trouble with taking pictures at night at sporting events, etc., as it is difficult at times to focus.  Daylight and close in flash pictures turn out as good and sharp as any I have seen for the money. 

Not a real difficult camera to use, but does take some getting used to.  Can do a lot of things if you so desire.
