Spotlight customer reviews:
Summary: great camera
Comment: If you're looking for an easy, quick camera to use, this is the one. I have been using this model since it first came out, and I have found that I have gotten more usable shots- they're in focus, no red-eye, colors are never over or under-exposed. My friends + family are always commenting on the great quality, when they get their photos.
Summary: Kodak camera C400:
Comment: I have owned this camera for over a year and considering it is my first camera, it's pretty good. However, there are a few things that customers should be aware of. For instance, the C400 does not have a zoom feature, which makes it really hard to take far away pictures, because you have to get closer to the subject, which is not practical when you're taking pictures from an elevated surface. Even though this camera comes with a night flash the majority of my night and indoor pictures have come out underexposed. However, I do recommend this camera if you don't have to take pictures from elevated surfaces(no zoom to bring the picture closer to you), and/or in low light situations, the extra flash is not enough. This camera is also good for first time owners of a camera. Once you start taking pictures you can determine your needs a lot better and buy something else.
Summary: Stopped working after a year
Comment: I'm definitely in the minority here.
I had a C400 which suddenly stopped working (shutter stopped working). Unfortunately, I didn't find out about it until I had wasted several rolls of film. Luckily, the snapshots I took were replaceable. Still I expected more from Kodak.
If the reviews here are any indication, you will have better luck than I did.
Summary: Stay Away!
Comment: Coming from the perspective of someone who worked for one of Canada's largest photo retail chains, I strongly advise anyone agains buying Kodak Cameras, or at least be aware of thier reputations.
Our company stopped carrying Kodak cameras because of thier poor construction, common problems were with the battery doors, film doors, zoom, and the flip flash. The most common being the batter door latches breaking off. In one year we returned twice as many from our store as we sold. It was that bad.
Kodak makes awesome high end cameras, thier film and paper can be second to none as well, but thier cameras, leave that to the big three.

Editorial reviews:
With the Kodak Advantix C400 auto focus camera you have the tool to capture crisp, beautiful pictures with the all-glass 25 mm auto focus lens. Your pictures will be less likely to have red-eye problems because the flip-up flash design puts extra distance between flash and lens. The viewfinder lets you see the picture in the format you've chosen - before you take the picture.
