Yes, you have to (free) register with Kodak, and (optional and free) register with Kodak-owned ofoto. But that said, EasyShare is a most excellent, fairly nicely built, almost an iPhoto clone of an app that has two most excellent things that iPhoto doesn't -- one, it has speed ... much, much more responsive than iPhoto4 on my iBook. And two, it doesn't seem to insist on moving your photos into a location of its own choice.
Try it. You might like it. If you don't, well, no money wasted. The app is free.
[robg adds: I hadn't even heard of this app ... I bit the bullet and filled out the registration form, and was pleasantly surprised after the download and install. First surprise: EasyShare is a Cocoa application, which really surprised me (I figured that alone was almost reason enough to mention it). I enabled Cocoa Gestures in it, and they worked perfectly, as you would expect in a Cocoa app. Second surprise: It comes with a very nice installer and uninstaller. Third surprise: The picture editing options are much nicer than those of iPhoto. There are some not-so-good surprises, too -- it looks much like a WindowsXP application, the interface is a bit confusing, there aren't (that I can see) any keywords, and I couldn't seem to make it import some JPEGs that I know are, well, JPEGs. But overall, this is a surprisingly polished app, and the free integration with ofoto means you can do some nice online sharing, though I didn't test that bit.]
