Full review
Last year I was searching through the paper looking for some good deals when I spotted this excellent looking camera with high specifications for the time it was made, it was cheap at £99 with a free £64MB SD Card so I went straight to PC World and bought it, since then it has been an excellent and worthwhile product. It’s reliable, stylish, fast and strong!
<<Handling>>
At first with all camera's it takes a bit of getting used to with all the great functions and settings you can change to create stunning pictures. When you have changed this you don’t really need to do much at all. It’s very simple to use, a three year old could even operate it. All you need to do is view through either the view finder or screen, shoot and there you go. The menus on the camera are clear and simple with the help of good navigation from the multi-direction keypad. Whilst using the camera it has properly shaped resting points for your hands making it easy to hold. The camera is also very light-weight so you don’t have to worry about if you need it or not because you hardly notice its there!
<<Picture Reproduction>>
When you have taken the pictures you want you can download the quickly via the supplied USB Cable. When they appear on your screen the pictures are sharp and clear. The camera captures the tones of colours excellently because of the high quality Retinar lens producing perfect pictures. When saving pictures you should expect to have a file size of around 2MB for each high-quality picture.
<<Design>>
The camera is very stylish and stands out from the crowd. The camera looks like it highly professional with the chrome features. The back of the camera is very well laid out with the screen in the middle and buttons along-side. There are six buttons in total which are spread out equally. The view finder is at the top left and has a light next to it which is green whilst the camera is on and turns orange when you take a picture.
<<Memory>>
The camera uses SD Cards which are very good because they are small and easy to use but can be expensive and do not have as much capacity as cards such as Compact Flash ||. The camera has 16MB of on-board memory and may include a SD Card on purchase. You access the SD slot at the right hand side of the camera tucked underneath a flap.
<<Technical>>
The camera lens is 36mm Retinar Zoom lens with 2x Zoom. The screen on the camera is a good size of 1.6". Picture resolutions of 2 080 x 1544 and1024 x 768 can be met. USB Interface, video out, self time of 10 sec. There is a tripod fixing hole at the bottom of the camera. Accessories in the box are: USB Cable, Video Cable, Hand Strap, Lens Cap and two batteries.
Thanks for reading my review; I hope you have enjoyed reading it. James Venning.
Advantages: Very Easy to Use,good quality pics,Affordable price Disadvantages: No optical zoom,Battery Life
...includes: The camera, 2 AA Kodak batteries, software for computer, usb cord to plug into your camera and computer for easy transfer of pictures, a cord to plug into your tv so you can review pictures on it (very cool and handy for relatives that don't have PC) and of course, manuals and warranty information.
The camera has a good picture menu.On the picture menu you can magnify, protect, have a slide show, copy, get multiple view of all your pictures, ... ...also a snap.The software that Kodak has is really very easy to use.
My opinion is: Though not the most technologically innovative camera on the market, the CX4300 meets the needs of the casual camera user as well as the more experienced user who wants to use the camera for prints.
I am really pleased with it!
So if you think of buying it consider:
1. It has High resolution of 3.2 MP - The high resolution allows us to expand and edit the photos.Really ...

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, cheap and reliable Disadvantages: Basic specs, no optical zoom
...although I had used other Kodak ditals through work. As a professional designer I am very picky about image quality and I would not have used this camera if I considered it's pictures to be of poor quality. It has never let me down save for a flat battery which can be bought from any corner shop (or pinched from the TV remote!)
It is clearly intended to be a low range consumer model as it has a limited specification. It is not a slick little compact ... ...solidly made as the previous Kodak digitals I hade used (which were very solid indeed) but it has stood up to all the general day to day abuse I have given it. To use it couldn't be simpler. Swith it on at the front, wait a few seconds for the screen to tell you it is ready and start taking pictures. Anyone who has experience of digital cameras would have no need to read the instruction manual as it is all very straight forward.
The real benefit ...

Advantages: 3 million pixels & Price Disadvantages: 2 x digital zoom
...(2 x AA) but the kodak docking station has a rapid charger and battery cell included which may well be worth the extra £50 in the long run. It comes with an internal 16mb of digital storage space which only gives 20 pics at high resolution but loads and loads more if you dont need the high definition. It accepts smart media cards which are readily available. The unit would benefit from being sold with a case, it does have a lens cover but a case ...

Advantages: Very good quality pictures Disadvantages: Power-consuming, poor screen resolution
For a 3 megapixel digital camera, this model is a value for money product. The images are very crisp and sharp, and there are a few image qualities to choose from. The software bundle that comes along with the camera is also user-friendly. However, the disadvantages of buying this product is quite severe too. The screen resolution is rather poor for a camera and you won't be able to see images with crystal-sharp quality. The camera is also quite ...
