nice camera that you can get here http://www.cameras4free.com/default.aspx?r=345693 thanks for read

Ok, Yes it is 5mp, but what good is that when it takes bad pictures. In low light the photos are SO dark, and when you use the low light setting or night vision setting, then it is so blurry it is impossible. Same situation when taking pictures indoors. It is a 35mm lens adaptable digital camera, but the problem with that is that when you screw the adapter on then you really have no light!!!! The adapter blocks all light unless you are facing the light and it is sunny outside, even then..
I have a Telephoto lens and also a wide angle lens and they are not cheap lenses. I also have all the UV filters and so on. Not to mention that the thread on the camera is PLASTIC ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE CAMERA, MEANING THAT ONCE YOU STRIP IT THAT'S IT. the entire camera is made of plastic, mine has not broke yet but it is just so cheaply made to have to pay so much for it.
This would probably be a good camera for someone who just wanted to have a digital camera that was easy and does not know about lighting and shadows and so on. As far as adding lenses to it to improve, that is out of the question.
Just research and know what you are getting.

I bought this the day after Thanksgiving with the dock. I have no complaints. I have taken tons of pictures of my newborn son, and almost all of them have come out perfect. A few have come out a little dark, but the software program enhanced them really well. Also, the ones that came out dark were taken with only lamplight. My husband (who can't use my olympus 35mm camera very well) had no problem figuring out this camera. It is so user-friendly!! We love this camera and will probably purchase Kodak in the future when we need another camera.

Got mine right after Thanksgiving and haven't had a lot of time to experiment with it.

I took it to a concert, and the photos in the low light didn't turn out very well, but I'm not sure that I've mastered how to use it in low light. "Regular" photos turn out great. I don't care for the software, but I think it's because I'm used to the one that came with my WINDOWS package.

I got the docking station and love the convenience of uploading without a cable. Way kewl on that.

This is my first digital camera, so I've got nothing to compare to. The software installation was easy, and I was taking pictures immediately. I've got the transfer dock, and that part is awesome too. I just put the camera on, push a button, and my pics are immediately transferred onto the computer and in the Kodak software for easy emailing, organizing or print ordering. The pictures are crisp and clear; however....they are a bit dark. I took some pictures during the daytime in a room that has dark walls, and even using the flash, the hue of everything was kind of abnormally dark orange/red. And, if it's dark, the flash makes objects in the pics really really bright white, almost like overflash.

I purchased this camera after my Olympus 1.2 Megapixel died after 5 years of hard use. If I could revive my Olympus, I would in a heartbeat. I am so very Disgusted with this Kodak camera. It is impossible to get a picture that doesn't look dark indoors. I sell items on ebay and the pictures I attempted to take of anything red came out very blurry. I read the entire manual and tried every combination of settings to try to improve the picture quality. The night vision also produces extremely blurry images. It is easy to use, and the software is easy, I liked the camera dock, but if you want good quality pictures, don't go with this camera. I am taking it back and spending the extra money on the Olympus, my first one never failed me.

The camera worked excellent for a short period of time. I didn't use the camera very often so when it stopped working just after the warranty ran out. I tryed to contact Kodaks tech dept via the web and could never get in. I finaly called thier help line and after being on hold for 45 minutes some one finaly picked up the line I was on. The determined that I would have to send it in for repair and the estimated cost was $125 dollars. If have any concerns over customer service for you product or reliabillity do not purchase from Kodak.

Alright, so this camera is not the worst, but it is not the best. I bought this about 2 years ago. This was my first digital camera, and for that purpose it was good because it is pretty much idiot proof. I have used this camera a lot over the years, and here is how I feel about it now that I have become more familiarized with the digital camera world.

a.) this camera is a big large & clunky
b.) aside from the different shooting modes (landscape, motion, etc.), it doesn't have any special features, it's a pretty plain point and shoot camera
c.) I feel that the color on the pictures from this camera comes out a bit pale/bland and I don't think that they are as clear as pictures that I have seen from similar cameras.
d.) the lens cap! I hate the lens cap! I usually just throw my camera into my purse with or without a case, and the lens cap always falls off! It's not a big deal I guess, but it's something small that has really annoyed me with this camera. If you want my opinion, unless you're buying a SLR camera or something like that, stay away from the lens caps! They're just plain annoying.

That's about it. Like I said, this camera is mediocre. If anything, I think it might be decent for beginners.

I bought this camera because it was one of the lowest priced 5MPs at the time. The two major complaits I have about the camera is that (1) it takes blurry photos and (2)the lens cap continually comes off.
Unless your arm is as still as a table top, many of your photos will be blurry. I took several photos on a trip to Asia that looked great on the display panel (even when I magnified the image) only to find that they were actually blurry when they were on a computer screen or printed when I arrived back in America.
The lense cap can be taken off with the slightest touch. It continually came off even while it was in my camera case.
The other features on the camera are fairly nice. The menu is very user friendly and the movie making mode is okay (although the camera sometimes rotates the movie 90 degrees, and I haven't found a fix for this yet). But regardless, the camera takes blurry photos, and I cannot recommend it to anyone.

I had this camera almost two years and foolishly bought a Canon A95 5 mpx camera. Sure the Canon has slightly sharper pictures but is terrible in low light. The Kodak 4530 takes great pics under almost any conditions, simple to operate and I took it out of the drawer and am delighted to return to this terrific camera. Highly recommended for anyone and at a great price if you can still find one. My Canon A95 will just rot away in the drawer, I guess. My next camera will be a kodak, I'm pretty sure. PS I shake a lot when I take pics so I always use the "
sport" mode for a faster shutter speed. Majority of pics are great and I can see the quality of the shot in the LCD. My Canon had an artificially enhanced LCD that makes every shot look good, so you have no idea if your shot was good or bad. The Kodak has a true LCD that does not lie.

I have pictures inside a night club that came out spectacular, im really blown away with the way it takes pictures in any settings, my only dislike was that it was rather big and a little bulky but the performance was up to par!

I would like to sell this digital camera with leather case included, as I use a Fugi. This camera has had very little use. Original price was 429.00. Willing to sell for 135.00. Gathering income from electronics to purchase new printer. I am a professional photographer. Comes with manual as well.

Purchased this camera a short time ago. It was the second Kodak DX camera I purchased. Many problems with software, many problems with charging both cameras on the charging dock and the flash on both DX's stopped working. One while in warrenty and the second just out of warrenty. They want $95.00 plus shipping to repair the flash. I don't take a lot of pictures- maybe 50 a year that require flash so I warn others about Kodak cameras especially if you take many pics that require flash.

I loved this camera It took great pictures was easy to use and with the dock a sinch to charge the view screen even worked pretty well when it was sunny....I would have given this camera a 5 before I started having problems with it ...first the view screen stopped working but I could still take pictures..then it would only boot up some times...and now it won't turn on at all...actually I take that back the ready light continously blinks red......I have read many other review that have the same problems with this camera....a word to the wise DON'T BUY THIS CAMERA...you're just asking for it!!

I bought this before Christmas 2 years ago. It is simply a great digital camera for the money. I just returned from a 14 day European trip to Italy, France and Spain, and got some fantastic pictures !!! I also got some great pictures using the NO FLASH and the landscape mode. It is so user-friendly!! I love this camera and will probably purchase Kodak in the future.

Just a quick note: the lens cap attaches to the camera via a string, and is a real pain.

I have had this camera for about 3 years now and I am still very happy with it. I take this little camera every where I go and am constantly taking pictures, my kids automatically turn and smile when I call their names lol. I am still using the original battery that came with the accessory package, I charge it on the cradle when I think about it...lol. I love the fact that the lens cap is attached so that I wont lose it and the fact that the viewing screen can be turned off to provide more battery life. The pictures come out just awesome, I have compared them to pictures taken from a friends 8.0 mp camera and there is no distinguishable differences that either of us can see. I have had several cameras before this one and this is by far been my favorite. The pictures I took of my daughters tee-ball team came out better than the pictures the professional photographer took with his high dollar equipment. My six and ten year olds are able to use this camera and easily take outstanding photos, I would recommend this camera for anyone.

I've had this camera for almost two years and am now in the market for a new one. It served it's purpose well and I can not complain about the camera. Although starting about 6 months or so ago, the quality of the pictures started to diminish. Now everyone time I upload pictures I have to lighten every single picture - which is quite time consuming. The pictures turn out very dark. So if you're looking down the road on how the camera will perform after lots of use, this is just what I experienced.

I dropped my camera onto concrete for the third time and panicked because
now it doesn't work and it's a required tool for my appraisal business. I ordered this exact duplicate on Thursday and the postman put it inside my front door on Saturday. It looks and works like new. Thanks.

Even though this is an older model that is no longer sold new, this is my second one. It's a great camera with good features. Best to buy an extra memory card since the internal memory is limited.

This is my first camera, bought it on Black Friday of 2003 for $299 (included a free 128mb card)
I've taken over 6000 pictures with this cam, a majority of them are good. However, nighttime pictures do not come out very well.

Since then, I've bought a 256mb card, upgraded to a 1gb.. Yesterday bought a 4gb Transcend card and it did not work :(
Checked the Kodak site, found no firmware upgrade available, stuck with firmware v1.000
