The Kodak site lists it for a mere $80. Also noteworthy: the ISO caps out at 200!!! And that's with "digital IS" in effect :O I guess that should tell us how noisy it's going to be.
Low ISO only means less sensitivity; the actual amount of noise varies from camera to camera. The fact that this one tops out at 200 likely means pictures at ISO 100 and above will be nasty looking. So at the very least you have poor low-light capabilities, and it's probable that even the lowest ISO setting will have above average noise. But hey, it's $80! (Personally I'd just take photos with my phone.)

It's entry level. At $80.00 what do you want.

Low ISOs mean less noise/grain. If anything, it'll be nice and grain free, but blurry b/c this thing'll be using long shutter speeds.
