However, you should have gotten it by now so check with your post office first. If you don't have any luck there, contact service@woot.com to see what they can do.

Is it possible that there is a mistake on the tracking number. I did track the package through usps. USPS site says most tracking numbers are 20 characters long, the number I received is 21 characters long. Is there a label or receipt number

Neither my new camera or the instructions have no instructions on how to take Macro or Super Macro pictures and simply selecting the option is hardly enough to make it happen. All that happens is that the camera does not focus on the subject. The instructions are sadly deficient in this respect; pushing buttons is not a proper tutorial if the camera is not 100% automatic.

The Kodak website how-to doesn't even recognize the word "Macro". This is not a good sign.

Since the Macro feature is the #1 reason I purchased this camera, I have yet to realize any value from the purchase. All I need to know is how I should behave with the camera in order to achieve the desired results.

When I started with photography (circa 1960 or thereabouts), I used Kodachrome (ASA 10!) with an F. 3.5 lens -- which, somehow, I was able to use handheld, sans flash, and got excellent results.

Later on, I used Tri X Pan (ASA 400) for what was then called "available light" work, again, handheld, no flash, blah blah blah.

Lest this be construed as bragging, I point out that this sort of work was FAR from exceptional -- it was simply how we ALL worked with our gear, and got excellent results.

I'll close by pointing out the irony of the complaints of the slowness of this camera's lens, which, at something ("35mm equivalent") over 600mm is bloody FAST. A 35mm camera with a 600mm lens is going to be HUGE by comparison, and MUCH more expensive, and most likely a LOT slower (in terms of lens speed).

I've had a lot of fun with people, giving them 8x10 - 16x20 prints ("silver" prints, i.e., digital images printed on chromogenic photographic paper) I shot with my wife's shirt-pocket sized Olympus Stylus 300 (3.2MP). Much better image quality than most of the "pro gear" work I've seen.

In the vast majority of situations, it's the photographer, NOT the camera, that really matters.

Someone said it was only good for photographing your kid playing baseball. My kids only play soccer so if it works for that I'm golden! This comment section is actually very educational for anyone (like myself) that doesn't know very much about certain "things". Until I figure out all the options, it might be out dated? I'm still trying to figure out how to run this computer 10 years later. Happy snapping!

Finally got mine in my hands today... it was a gift a day early for my birthday tomorrow. Love it! Now I just need to get a memory card and maybe a neck strap.
