I am in the same boat, I loved my Powershot but ... I am trying NOT to buy a Canon because of terrible Customer Service I received when it got damp and the lens gasket dropped off. But my Coolpix takes awful pictures 80% of the time. I thought it was me but have since found out it's the camera. I will now look at the Lumix since my nephew also recommended it. Thanks

Pocket wizards, sure. Canons I don't know, I am a Nikon shooter, never been to the dark side. :-)

I got that too. I kept trying to insert and reset. Finally it said "formatting" and that was the last she wrote, i.e., the camera froze there. Packed it up and returned it the next day. I bought a (slightly) used Flip on eBay. I know opinions differ, but I had used (and loved) a Flip for years, had broken the lens and was looking to replace with something newer... hence the Kodak, which I found was shabbily made. Now back to another Flip. Even though Cisco dumped them, the Flip videos import as mP4's, and for my purposes, that works great and couldn't be happier with my new (used) Flip. Good luck!

To the best of my knowledge, all pocket wizards are backwards compatible. You will need to buy sync cords appropriate to the device you are connecting to the pocket wizard.

Have you contacted Kodak for advice? I had the same issue with my Hero 5.1 and tried the same things to fix. No luck. Finally just junked it and am now using HP 6700. Best of luck.

I am not real happy with the Kodak. Their older models are better. Thinking of returning and getting the FugiFilm s5200 Better report with PC World. check out the canon ratings on this website. www.pcworld.com

i bought it, but my only concern sometimes makes my camera be crazy slow, i recommend you spend a little more money and buy pocket wizard like i am about to do

Dean, the only sofeware I have found is the software that came with the cameras, but I hate it! Did you not get the disc when you bought the cameras? If not, I would be happy to send you one, I have 12. I find the cameras to work well, but the software terrible and have not found anything else compatible. I understand the cameras are now obsolete. THe company went out of business. Should you find something let me know,please. tnt6125@aol.com. thanks Tom

You will need a Pocket Wizard Camera Cable to connect the Pocket Wizard to the camera's cable release receptical. The type of cable depends on the camera and on whether you want to pre-trigger or not.Here is an example (there is also a table on the bottom of the page with a grid explaining which cable works for which camera): PocketWizard 802-453 CM-N3-ACC Canon MD Pre-Trigger for MM

I use Pocket Wizards with my 5D3, but you could use any radio trigger. You can also connect to it with a sync cable, which I think was included.

My sister and I both had this camera and we had the same problem. I think that once you start having issues with this camera there is no going back. I would just upgrade. We never figured out why the glitch occurred.

NO don't do it you'll fry your camera. They wont even work with my pocket wizards, because pocket wizard only handle up to 200 volts. Vivitar 283's are workhorse's but they need so many accessories to work. The have up to 400 volts. You'll need to get a safe sync to reduce the trigger voltage down to under 6 volts for canon and i think 12-24 for others. 6volts to be on the safe side.

I just got my camera back from the Cannon Factory and they said found that it was an internal issue, they replaced "something" and sent it back and it works just fine! Sorry this isn't a more helpful post for those of you without a warranty! I'll keep looking through my paperwork at home and see if they were more specific AT ALL in stating what the mystery "something" was that didn't work. Just wanted to update as I promised I would!

Well, I downloaded a new driver, and that solved the 6c10 error message -- for a week or so. And now it's back again. And now my older Canon pixma 3000 has a similar error message. So I have two Canon printers taking up space. Does anyone make a decent, reliable printer? Canon has been absolutely of no help.

No it can not be used with a pocket wizard Plus II Transceiver. I must tell you this flash is has a major issue with the hot shoe breaking. I have 3 of these flashes all with a broken hot shoe.

I have the same problem. I don't like this camera because of this. I had a Fuji before that worked fine. Fortunately I have a Canon that I bought last year that works. What a let down Fuji. You won't get any more of my money. I actually bought the camera to use for work, taking pictures of computers, etc., but it's almost useless for that even.
