Helpful consumer’s review
The Kodak C643 is a “small” point and shoot. It’s size will let you fit it in your shirt pocket, but it can be a little too heavy to carry there, so get a small case.
Battery life is “EXCELLENT” with 2300ma (KODAK Brand)rechargeables. I have taken 20 mins of video and 30 pictures with the screen on, and the battery light is still green. I took 41 flash photos in a row on a fresh charge and the battery light was still green! That is pretty darn good for a camera with only two batteries! I haven’t yet had to put in fresh batteries during a day of shooting family photos and movies.
The movie mode is superb ( I no longer use my old camcorder) and has good sound capture. Outdoor movies look great, but your inside movies will need some good lighting to obtain adequate quality (remember, it has no camera light like your camcorder.) Movies are recorded in Quicktime (mov) format. If you want to transfer them to dvd for tv viewing, you will need to convert them since most dvd players don’t support that format. Kodak software does an avi conversion, but it turned out very poor. Upgrading to Quicktime Pro seems to be the easiest way to make the conversion to other formats. (about $29). Kodak software needs more work. The mov to avi conversion is ridiculous. Very basic control over photo editing. More focused on printing than digital storage.
