Summary: A nearly perfect mid-range digital camera
Review: I've taken indoor and outdoor shots with this camera and blown them up to 12x18 ($2.99 at the local Costco) with astounding results. The few artifacts there are (mostly in the shadows) aren't viewable unless you are within a few inches of the 12x18 print. Of course I only printed the very best shots at this large size, but I haven't seen any artifacts in any of the shots I've taken (~1000) that would be visible on an 8x10 print from a distance of more than 3 inches. Also, the artifacts themselves are quite interesting. They aren't the square blocks or jaggies you expect in JPEGs, but rather the kind of blobs that you get when you look at a grainy part of a 35mm print under magnification. Anyway they seem to blend in and enhance the picture instead of weaken it. For instance my cat has extremely fine fur that is gray with a very very small white tip in places, giving the cat a grizzled appearance. These tips show up in the pics making the image look razor sharp. A similar thing happens with the "peach fuzz" on my kids faces. These details don't show up in any of my 35mm point-and-shoot photos. Battery life is very good. I've never ran the 2100mAh nimh batteries I bought (Walmart-- $16 for 4 batteries with a home and auto charger) completely dead but I've taken over 100 shots (many of them flash) between charges several times. The thing I like most is about this camera is that I haven't had to edit any of the shots (except for cosmetic purposes) before printing: the sharpness, brightness/contrast and color of the shots seem to be optimal. The size of the picture files is small, most of my pics come out at 700k - 1.3mb. The flash is strong. While experimenting, I took a picture of my (large) living room in the near dark with the flash. The picture came out perfectly sharp and exposed in such a way that it looks like the lights are on. Flash strength is adjusted appropriately most of the time and red-eye is not a problem (when I remember to turn on the red-eye setting). I don't miss most of the adjustments available on "higher end" cameras. For instance the auto white balance seems to work nearly perfectly in all situations as do the auto aperture size and shutter speed. There are settings on the dial for low light, high shutter speed, and close-up focus. However these settings are only selectable and not adjustable. This brings up the one thing I would add to the camera if I could and that is a setting that would allow me to get the raw data in either uncompressed or TIFF format. This hasn't been an issue really since the camera seems to do a better job of sharpening and color adjustment than I can with Photoshop (I'm not an expert). However, when I did edit some pizza sauce out of one the pics with Photoshop I found myself in a quandary. The original picture was about 900k in size (about 10:1 JPEG compression). How should I save the file? I was afraid that I would lose some picture quality if I saved it at such a high compression. In the end, I saved the picture to a 1mb JPEG took it to Costco and had them print a 11x14 print which turned out flawless. Let me finish by saying that this camera is extremely easy to use. My six year-old picked up this camera and started taking shots (albeit using the view finder rather than the lcd display).

Summary: Great camera for beginners!
Review: I did a TON of research before buying this camera, and it is simply the best camera in the $200 range. The Kodak 6330 is a great overall digital camera for the price! It is really easy to use, and the EasyShare software is very simple. It creates great pics, and I've already used the print ordering function on the software to print photos to my local grocer. Great quality photos up to 11x14. The size of the camera is average, but if I had another $100 to spend, I would probably go with the Elph or Minolta's slim body camera (XT?). I don't know if they are as simple to use, but they are less than half the thickness and the Minolta doesn't have an external zoom, which cuts down on noise and there is nothing to bump around. The only problem with the smaller cameras is the proprietary batteries (you can't just throw some AA's in them, as you can with the 6330). All of that said, I'm VERY HAPPY with my 6330. I got a 128 MB card. I would recommend watching the papers for deals on this one. I found one with a free 64 MB card on sale for 199 at one retailer, and got another retailer to do a price match and throw in a 128 MB card instead of the 64 for only $10 extra. Not too shabby. :-) so, for under $300, I got the camera, rechargable batteries and charger, a case, & a 128mB card. :-)

Summary: Great pics!
Review: Now, I don't understand all the technical capabilities this camera can do, but the pictures that my wife and I have taken have been superb! They look incredible. On the PC and when we print them. Although, I still love the "old fashion" camera that uses film, this is a wonderful addition to our new and expanding world into the multimedia. And not too expanesive, either.

Summary: All the bang for your buck.
Review: I looked all around for a camera that cost $200 or less and this camera beat out the competion. The 3.1 MegaPixels allow for higher resolution than the other $200 cameras. The camera is very easy to use in that all you have to do is turn the dial, point, (zoom if you want to [it has 3x optical, digital zoom is pointless]) and shoot. The multiple settings that are available make the camera that much better. Then to upload the pictures to a computer, you just need to plug the cable into the camera and computer and they are automatically downloaded(Windows XP) or use the included software to move the pictures from camera to computer. Printing the pictures is easy and they come out looking great. Some pictures taken with the CX3660 can be seen at http://www.oregonstate.edu/~sedlers/amazon Oh yeah, the deals in the stores that advertise this camera in the Sunday newspapers are great!!! Be sure to check those out.

Review: I recently puchased the Kodak Easyshare 3.1 megapixel camera and I'm very happy with in general as my first digital camera. The camera is very simple to use and easy to understand. All the controls are easily accessed and provide a good descripion of what each function does. The picture quality is good for the price. It does produce redeye, but with the redeye reducing feature and the easy to use photo editing software provided with the camera you should have no problems making great pictures. For the price I would say this is an excellent camera, it's very user friendly.

Summary: Easy to use
Review: We gave this camera as a gift to our son and we ended up borrowing it from him whenever possible. This is truly the easiest camera we have ever used. It takes great pictures, and is easy to use, adjust, and print, and in my opinion that's what taking digital pictures is all about! I would recommend this camera to anyone. If you don't get the printer dock, I would suggest some other charger for it. If you can afford it, the printer dock is a great accessory and small enough to pack if you are travelling and want instant photos, such as family pictures at the holidays.

Summary: Awesome Point-N-Shoot Digital Camera
Review: I received this as gift. I've taken 50+ pics as well as two short videos with this camera so far, and have had astounding results. The camera is simple to use, and the software is very easy as well. This is a great camera for someone who just wants to take great pics and have fun. The pics are sharp, clear, and well focused. They print better than my regular film camera! Extras I suggest:
The Kodak rechargeable battery pack, or a CR-V3 battery (although I've gotten surprisingly good results with the batteries that came with the camera)
A memory card (I purchased a 128 mb card which can hold over 115 pics at the best quality)

Summary: GREAT CAMERA
Review: Knowing absolutely nothing about digital cameras I read all the reviews I could and trusted the Kodak name and took the leap of faith. I am so happy I did. This camera is so easy to use and the software is fabulous. I have taken quite a few 8 X 10 pictures and framed them and everyone cannot believe they were taken with this camera. I have to agree on a couple of points however, the door to the batteries and access door to the ISB connection is somewhat flimsy so be careful when you use it but other than that I have no problems at all. I highly recommend this camera to the "non-professional" like myself if you want an easy to use digital camera that takes great pictures.

Summary: I think this camera is great!
Review: I got this camera for Mother's Day and the reason I bought this brand and model was after reading all the reviews here. I appreciate everyone's time that they spent giving their opinions on this camera. I feel that I made an excellent choice on my purchase. I did not want to spend tons of dollars, but I wanted a camera that would deliver good prints. I bought mine at a warehouse club and the camera came with the docking station, which is something I love. It has made the camera so easy to use. My daughter and I spent the afternoon taking pictures, uploading them from the docking station. We sent some pictures email, and boy was that an easy thing to do. I have the HP photosmart #2175 printer I put my picture quality ink in the printer and we printed pictures and they turned out so good! We were impressed. So for having the camera for less than 24 hours I am up and running, taking pictures, printing and emailing, who could ask for more! I spent $229.00 for mine at the warehouse club and I bought a 128 SDcard. Thanks again for everyone helping others to choose a good camera for the dollar.
