Positioned compactly in a bright yellow Kodak box is the camera itself, a Kodak Lithium battery, USB and Video connection cables, Custom camera insert for optional Kodak Easy Share camera dock, various manuals and the camera software for connecting the camera to a computer.

Kodak quote this camera as being,” Point and shoot simplicity, enabling you to get spectacular shots easily”. After using this camera a few times now I have to agree with them. Simply switch on, point and shoot. You don’t even have to look through the viewfinder, as the LCD screen on the back can show you what you’re going to get, though at the expense of the battery life I might add.
Ideally there are a few extras you ...

Advantages: Great functionality, easy to use Disadvantages: Battery life
...of ranges of digital camera, Kodak doesn't get a great deal of support, with most good judges steering well clear of the brand when they make recommendations. However, I have been very impressed by the various Kodak models I've tried and believe they do what they set out to do very well indeed. They don't have too many of the snobbery value facilities and functions that the expert writers seem to rate, but then for most everyday uses all that stuff ... ...it. As per the Kodak site (http://www.kodak.com), "With outstanding color and exposure capabilities and a quality lens, you'll have crisp, sharp, colorful pictures. The on-camera share button, and software with one-touch photo printing and organizing, means that quality prints and emails are only one-step away." Now, I've heard that one before, but in this case Kodak are giving you a quite realistic appraisal, even if they insist on Americanising ...

Advantages: Price, good quality Disadvantages: Flash limited to 3.9m, no carrying pouch, memory is expensive
...I ever bought was the Kodak CX 4230 Digital Camera. Retailing at £199.99 you can get change from £200 but what does it do?
FEATURES
This camera features a Kodak Retinar lens which takes pictures of resolution up to 2MP (Mega Pixels), which print up to 8"x10" (20x25cm) although a lower resolution can be set (1MP or 0.5MP). This will increase the number of prints you can save internally on the camera's 16MB memory, but reduce the quality, and reduce ... ...in the form of a Kodak Multimedia card (available separately). I have mainly used the 1MP resolution (print up to 5"x7"), and have found it possible to take approximately 40 pictures before the memory is full.
There is 3x optical and 2x digital zoom on this camera, meaning it can be used to take pictures from distance - but be warned: the flash is only effective to 3.9 metres so for indoor and night time pictures you will have to be fairly close ...

With the Kodak computer package you get an album in order to store your pics in one place, and an editor, with which you can get rid of red eye, change the intensity and brightness, and cut and crop the bad bits. Brilliant!
With this camera you can zoom in so far once the piccy is on your computer that someone's eye can be as big as the screen - but still great quality. The zoom on the camera ...

Advantages: Takes great pictures, easy to use Disadvantages: Can be a bit slow when taking pics
This is my first digital camera, and I think I got a winner here. It's very easy to use, takes excellent pictures, is small enough and weighs almost nothing. One thing I was unsure about when I ventured into digital photography was what the pictures would look like if they were actually printed out, rather than just being viewed on a computer screen - my budget couldnt stretch to a model with more than 2 million pixels and I was thinking, will they ... ...first batch of pics to the photo shop however, I was surprised by the results, the pics were as good if not better than I used to get on my old APS camera! And lets face it, what is the main thing people look for in any camera, surely its the quality of the pics, so for this camera to also be easy to use and great to look at was an added bonus. The only complaint I do have is that when you take a picture, sometimes the delay is a little longer than ...

Overall the camera is well designed and looks good. When I first got the camera I thought it was very easy to use. You can link it straight into your television and look at the photos, a good feature of the camera. The camera has also got an auto rotate function, if you take a photo in portrait, the camera will rotate the picture for you and save it in the right format.
The battery lasted around five months of normal usage. However, now that battery ...

...bought this camera because of Kodak reputation. When I had problems with the software(Easyshare) Kodak could not sort it out. Managed to get most of it sorted out(after 2 weeks) a local computer person helped. The camera cost £199.99, the picture quality was excellent and the camera itself was very easy to use. People at Kodak were surly and unhelpful. Phone calls cost a fortune, but if they didn't like what you said to them they had no problem cutting ... ...was no use because it did not have the correct fitting. I am still awaiting a reply from Kodak Managing Director and Easyshare is still causing an error in my computer. Instruction manual and helpline numbers are all on a disc, this makes it very awkward to sort problems. ...

Advantages: Easy to use, good quality pictures Disadvantages: Slow image capture, basic software
A year ago I decided to buy a digital camera. Nothing fancy, I was never in the habit of taking many pictures and also did not want to splash out on functionality is was not sure I was ever going to use. With that in mind, I wanted something basic yet functional. With this camera, I could not have made a better choice. It is extremely easy to use with clear menus and bright software. The picture quality is excellent and with the addition of an extra ... ...The only drawback of the camera I have been able to discover is the slow image capture. From pressing the button to taking the picture seems to take forever (although surely less than 2s) but is annoying when trying to take pictures of a relatively fast moving baby. Although the process is sped up by half depressing the button, it is not handy. ...
