I had 3 digital cameras, that was the first one. I had also casio z40 and kodak ls743. I would never get rid of 4330, but I could not stand battery life.. I had 4 2000mah and I had to charge them all the time.. the other thing was size of this camera , kinda big, and that cover/cap..
But the pictures was incerdibly good, colors were natural, super pix in low light.. I hope I find similar quality camera with diferent kind of battery .

I am very happy with this camera, or was until it began to go wrong, working for a short time then turning itself off just as I was about to take a picture despite using new batteries.

Having been warned that repairs would cost a fortune, I was all ready to buy a new camera. However a very charming young man in the camera shop cleaned up the contacts for me at no charge and now it works perfectly again. I hope this information may be of use to someone else experiencing the same problem.

Camera worked pretty good for 18 months. Had similar problems as everybody else ie lens cap popping off, big time redeye and my computer not being able to find the device. NOW it won't turn on and Kodak wants 200 of my finest Canadian dollars to repair it. It wasn't dropped-in fact I had used it 30 minutes previously, set it on the table, picked it up for a final shot and nada . They tried to get me to trade in for a CX7330 for 200 bucks but it won't be compatable with my dock. No wonder Kodak as a company is in trouble.

Camera has performed well for 12 months. BUT...it keeps failing to turn on. Problem is intermittent and getting worse. Having searched the internet for people with similar problems, there are MANY. Kodak are aware that this is a problem but as is now out of warranty, they offer to fix it for $200. Might as well buy a new camera. Sure won't buy from Kodak again. Shame really as when working, it has performed very well.

If anyone else has this problem, please share your experience on this web site so people can make an informed choice when spending their hard earned money.

Thanks

The 4330 camera was wonderful when new,,but when it was 10 months old it started acting funny and when contacted kodak they recommended new batteries and holding the camera steady for correcting the sometimes blurry picts,,,the camera was purchased for a friend in June and her birthday was middle of July,,,a couple months ago it started acting up and lately it is hard to get to turn on and when you do it turns it's self off and then wont come back on for awhile,,,Kodak says if you send back for 200 dollars can fix it but like others on Amazon.com it will only start acting up in a few months again,,,After paying $300 dollars for a camera it sucks when it is not dependable nor backed by the manufacture,,would not buy another Kodak product if was only one on market

I am an aspiring photographer. I received this camera as a gift and I like it quite a bit. I've outgrown the camera and am upgrading to the Canon EOS 20D. However, I highly reccommend this camera to beginners. It takes AMAZING landscape photographs. It's light, durable and fun. This would be a good camera for families, as well. I think it's the best camera for beginners.

Some of its downfalls are:
- You cant take on the spot pictures. It takes a second to capture the image. My dog is notorious for turning his head just as I hit the button. Henceforth, this makes it a bad camera for action shots.
- I do photography of a local band and this camera is not very good for photographing indoors in low light.
- The video funtion is pretty much useless, as the sound quality is horrible.
- The lens cap pops right off.

I've had no problems otherwise and have had the camera for almost 2 years. Again, I think this is a great camera. I tried to upload my photography on here, but after spending all the time choosing them, writing captions and such, it had problems and didn't upload them. I'd be happy to share some of them with anyone. I have quite a few that I've made no adjustments to, so you can see how good the quality is. Just drop me an email on here.

This is the easiest to use digital camera I have ever seen. It has the ability to take movies, and even has different modes (auto, sports, macro, low-light, and ZOOM)... all without making it complicated. That's why this camera is good for beginners and experienced users alike (enough options for many of us, but easy for the novices). It has a 1.8inch viewable LCD. I've found that the cams with bigger screens used up batteries to fast, and those with smaller screens just weren't big enough to see. This camera has INTERNAL MEMORY. A big plus because many digital cameras only rely on memory cards. Also, you have the option of using SD memory cards if you want. They're cheaper than SONY memory stick, more compact that Compact Flash cards, and are so versitile because it's the same size that fits into PDA's such as palm-pilots. This makes it especially handy. The flash is easy to use on this camera and isn't overpowerful like my last camera. It's bright enough without drowning out the image with white flash.

Only drawback is that the Dock is usually sold seperately. I suggest you buy it bundled with the Dock (charges batteries) to save serious $$ on batteries. You can also always use regular AA batteries in a pinch.

I LOVE THIS CAMERA! I bought it just over 3 yrs ago after my youngest son was born. It is so easy to use, so much it can do. I did have 1 digital camera before this and to download the pictures I would spend a frustrating 30 minutes every time to get my computer to 'see' it. My husband doesn't like 'complicated' electronics but he will use this. Much to my joy I receive e-mailed pictures from him every couple of weeks (I am currently deployed to Iraq). Since being here a few other people have been interested in buying a digital camera and I HIGHLY recommended a Kodak Easyshare. I actually wish Kodak would start making digital video cameras. This is the next step for video and I would defiantly by one...

I had some initial problems with the camera after purchase, and had to return it to Kodak twice for repairs. But since then it has worked fine. I enjoy the Kodak picture program that came with the camera, although it does not offer all the possibilities of the Adobe Photo House program. Camera is convenient and easy to use, and I'm sure it is capable of doing much more than I have discovered to this point.

When it come to ease of use price and phot quality this camera is it.

The camera is easy to use and the quality of the pictures is very good. Getting the pictures out of the camera and into your computer is another matter. The software is very un-intuitive, lots of "albums" and "gallerys" but all we wanted to do is get the photos into the PC. The "Help" file is not much help and Kodak's webpage essentially says to read the manual. Now I know why Kodak is going down the tubes.
