Rating: Summary: Easy Camera To Use Review: The Kodak Easyshare DX4330, was my first digital camera purchase. I have always used regular cameras w/regular film that I wasted a lot of bad pictures & money on. With this digital camera you can see how your picture turned out as soon as you take the picture! This camera is very easy to use once you know what each button and setting mean. You can zoom in 3 times and the quality of the picture on the camera is amazing. You can just plug up the camera into your TV to watch a slideshow of your pictures or to watch a movie you have on it. You have six differnet options: Video, Auto, Sport, Night, Landscape, & Close Up. This camera is a great digital camera. I just have two negative opinions about it that I didn't think it deserved a 5. Using the camera dock to see your pictures on the computer reguarly messes up on me. It won't show the pictures no matter if I restart my computer or do anything to the camera. Also the video length is way too short. These may be stupid negative opinions but I know the camera is a great camera to own none the less.
Rating: Summary: If you love it now, just wait awhile ... Review: We've had this camera for a little over a year. From the beginning, I didn't like the fact that the green light which tells you that the camera is on and ready to go is placed so that it shines directly into your eye when looking into the viewfinder! Very distracting. However, it does take great pix and we overlooked that. NOW, it has simply ceased working consistently. Sometimes it will turn on, sometimes it won't .. regardless of whether the batteries are charged. It DOES turn on when docked, but I can't take pix then!! Sometimes, we have to turn it on and off repeatedly before it "takes" and turns on, then it will turn off again just as suddenly. Also, it doesn't always recognize that there are pix on the camera, even though it will transfer them later. I have read other reviews that indicate that we are not the only ones having this problem. From what I've read, contacting Kodak would be useless, so we're just considering this $300 badly spent. We've already replaced it with a GREAT little camera - the Canon Powershot A75. I'd recommend that ANY DAY over this model.
Rating: Summary: great pictures Review: 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 .
Rating: Summary: Problem cured at no cost Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: AAIIEE AAIIEE AAIIEE Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: DO NOT BUY DX4330 Review: 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
Rating: Summary: It stoped working Review: 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
Rating: Summary: It does the job Review: I purchased the camera over a year ago, and i have had a few minor problems. First, it occasionally takes blurry pictures, even as i do my best to steady it in my hand. That happens about every 10 shots. Also, it doesnt work too well in long distance shots. Finally, one day it just stopped working. I sent it back to Kodak and they notified me that it needed a new lense. About $20 and 2 weeks later it was back, in perfect working condition.
Other than that, i have been very happy with the DX4330. It is a great camera.
