Recently I tried experimenting with some point-and-shoot cameras to see if we wanted to use something besides the Casios.

Kodak seemed like a good choice to experiment with, since it’s a local company.

Problems: The QuickTime video is harder to convert to Flash than Casio’s AVI format, and you can’t (and this is just insane) get the pictures or video off the camera unless you install Kodak’s EasyShare software.

At least the video is entertaining.

And think about this — it cost Kodak very little to produce this “commercial” and it’s already been viewed by more than 300,000 people … all without buying space or time in traditional media.
