Summary: understand flash
Review: At least one of the problems described by the commentator above may be due to user error. I am regularly amazed by people who try to use a flash to capture people on stage 50 feet away (or even use flash to attempt to take a picture of a projected film on a screen). The tiny flashes on ALL portable cameras only work up to about 15 feet away (and if they are close enough to a film screen they'll just wipe it out with white light).

So, we shouldn't be surprised that your flash pictures of your cousin turned out dark -- the flash didn't reach him. And, we shouldn't be surrpised that it was blurry -- when zoomed in, in low light, any autofocus will have trouble tracking and the CCD will barely get enough light to register anything.

(I don't have this particular camera so just gave it a middling rating out of ignorance.)

Summary: Best &quot;bang for the buck&quot; Camera!
Review: I am absolutely delighted with the Kodak CX7430 and wholeheartedly recommend it. Kodak has cornered the market in offering tremendous features for extremely reasonable prices. I upgraded to the CX7430 from the CX7000 because I was so happy with the Kodak line. The CX7430 offers great features, such as both optical and digital zoom, and video capacity with sound, along with an outstanding 4 MPs. The operating system is the simplest and easiest to learn and use of any brand of digital camera. The entire Kodak Easy Share system makes downloading, editing, printing, and e-mailing pictures a breeze. This is THE 4 MP camera to buy!

Summary: Love this camera!
Review: I bought this for myself for Christmas and after 3 months of playing with it, have decided its a keeper! It takes great quality pictures, the software is easy to use, and the editing works great. The red eye removal function works very good - much better than a camera I tried out last Christmas (and returned) Since we don't have a camcorder, we love the movies with sound.

I do not use the share function, since I usually crop or enhance or something to make the pic "perfect". I also do not print at home - way too expensive compared to printing at York, Sam's, or even Eckerds!

One small complaint - the default in the Kodak software is to save pictures at a lower res after editing. This makes no sense to me. If you liked a picture well enough to edit it, why would you want to save it at a lower quality??? This is easy to change, but anytime you upgrade the software, defaults to this again, and you have to remember to change it.

Second Con is the date imprint. I chose this camera because I specifically wanted date imprint (without having to use software to add the date). The date imprint is HUGE and yellow - very unsightly.

I haven't had anything bigger than 4x6 printed, so I definitely want to try that soon to see the quality.

Summary: Buy this camera, buy this camera, buy this camera!
Review: I can not say enough good things about this camera. Period. There are not enough good descriptive words to even begin to express how fabulous it really is. I bought this after dropping and breaking my Sony Cybershot (which I hated anyway, the macro function was a joke).

I will guard this camera with my life. The pictures are PERFECT. The features, of which there are many, are so simple to operate that a llama could figure it out. I am a picture taking fanatic and I am heavy into scrapbooking... this camera captures perfect shots of my son AND our outings/vacations. I have not been disappointed with a single picture yet (unless my poor framing was to blame).

The thing that impressed me the most is the almost non-existent delay when using the flash. I had missed MANY a spontaneous shot with my Sony because of the ridiculous flash delay, but never again! Rapid speed picture taking is almost flawless, and the Sports function captures subjects in motion beautifully.

The macro function is outstanding and EASY. My close-up photos are breathtaking, and I am in awe that this camera performs so easily and wonderfully.

UPDATE 01/05 - I had posted a website in this review which DOES NOT SELL ANYTHING - they simply give unbiased reviews of any digital camera you can imagine. I recommend reading their review of this camera, as it was my deciding factor after months of research. Amazon, however, removed the link I provided, because they are weird. The website is w w w DOT steves-digicams DOT c o m.

I am in no way affiliated with the website, but I have used it extensively while camera hunting these past few months. I bought my Kodak based on this review, and I am so glad I did. You won't be disappointed!

I do recommend checking out a charging or printer dock. I have written a review of the printer dock, please check it out for my thoughts on it's performance. :)

Summary: Great purchase many pluses one minus
Review: I got this camera as a replacement after losing a 3.2 Kodak...

I am very happy with this camera, which I received as a gift. I have own two digital cameras in the past and this is the best by far.
The only minus is that the zoom is difficult to use and you must hold the camera very steady.

Pluses...
Battery seems to last longer than most
Picture quality is fantastic. I have blown many up and they look great
You get nice short video with audio and you can hear the playback well
Works well indoors and outdoors
Very easy to use
Easy to download pictures
Great for enlargements

Who ever designed this camera did an excellent job. It is so easy to use and the pictures are of excellent quality.

Summary: Great Camera!!!
Review: I just got this camera and it is great!!!
the pictures come out with so much detail and color!!!
And the pictures upload to the computer so fast!!!
The only things are is that it only has a little bit of memory, and you cant take more then 30 pics,
so you should get a memory card,
and also battery life isnt so long, but otherwise its great!!!
I highly recomend it.

Summary: Great camera, poor customer service
Review: I love my kodak easy share camera. It is a good camera for the price. However, just a warning, if you have a problem with your camera, kodak has very poor customer service and is unwilling to help you fix your problem. You will have to take care of it on your own at a local dealership.

Summary: Great camera
Review: I've had this camera for few months and have been extremely satisfied with it. I took one of the best pictures I've ever taken using this camera.

It appears that the maximum flash range is less than 12 feet, so you need to keep that in mind when using the flash.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Quality Low to Mid Range Camera for Anyone
Review: I've photographed weddings and like to play with special features on my cameras. This unit has enough gadgets to impress me. I am also impressed by it's workmanship.

My wife likes to just point and shoot. She is a teacher and likes to keep the docking printer in her classroom. The camera is simple enough for her needs, yet has a better quality picture than some of the other cheaper models we looked at.

I looked a long time for a low cost easy to use camera with more advanced features than normal. I'm not sorry I chose this one.
