It is not a good idea to rush which camera to go for when you have too many players in the market. Even Canon and Nikon have failed with certain models they have come out with. Kodak on an overall has not been doing good in the digital world though the camera you are looking at is having pretty descent feedbacks.
Some stuffs to look for when looking at a digital camera.
1. What do you intend to shoot more.
2. Lens - Purple fringing and Vignetting are some factor you can look at. Since you are not looking for a DSLR you may need to look at whether the built in lens has got a thread in case you need to use a filter.
3. Shutter speed. High and low. If you intend to shoot without flash with manual settings keep an eye on the aperture and Noise level at ISO 400.
4. What is the size of your CCD or CMOS. – it makes a huge difference on sensitivity when you pack 7 million pixels into a smaller sized CCD.
5. Resolution and size LCD display - If your camera is having EVF then you may need to look at their details too.
6. Power source - would you go in for a proprietary lithium ion battery or the STD AAs.
7. Internal memory
8. External memory format
9. Optical ZOOM.
10. Image stabilization (Lens or CCD or both)
11. Image compression/file formats.
It would be good to go though http://www.dpreview.com/ to understand how you can choose a camera based on your requirement.
