Summary: Excellent Quality, Easy To Use
Review: I'm very, very impressed with this camera. I've had no problems with it & I'm amazed at the quality of photos. It's very easy to use, it's as simple as opening the box, removing the battery, and insert the battery. Kodak makes it very easy to shoot, view & share your photos. Two things that I wish were a bit different: #1 32MB Onboard Memory, I wish it were larger, but you can get about 20 photos at the highest quality setting. #2 The optical zoom is only 3x. It'd be nice if it were more, but it does have an extra 10x digital zoom.

Summary: Could not be happier.
Review: I bought this camera on Friday, my wife went into labor on Saturday night with our first child. After flipping through the instruction manual for about 10 minutes, I was a pro with the camera within 5 minutes of picking it up. I highly recommend buying the dock for this. I purchased it at Costco and the dock came with it. They pictures are incredibly crisp and it takes extremely good pictures on auto mode. I was also very impressed with the close-up setting for shots within 28 inches. The editing program that comes with the camera is pretty good but I only found two things I didn't like about it. The first being the fact that, while it has a good redeye reducer and corrector, it doesn't do much for the other weird color reflections you sometimes can get from photographing animals. Also, the automatic folder feature it has once you download pics into your computer is nice, but once they are modified, it lacks a feature that allows you to move them to other folders easily. All of these problems can easily be fixed by working in other programs. I would buy this camera again if I ever needed to.

Summary: So far, performing great
Review: Bought this camera last month to replace my 2 megapixel digital camera, and am very pleased so far. I take lots of family snapshots, indoors and out, and do some touch-ups and tweaking with photo editing software regularly. When I need to crop my 4530 photos, they still look sharp and in focus (which I couldn't say about my last digital camera). Easy-to-use, lots of features, no complaints other than the short videos this camera takes are blurry. I'm not too perturbed with that, though, because I didn't buy this for the video feature. A great camera at a great price.

Summary: Cheap, Good, Easy = Great Value
Review: I recently purchased this camera. I was a bit apprehensive over the picture quality as some other Kodak easyshare camera's have taken some criticism. However, this 5 MP camera has excellent, sharp photo quality (comparable to 35mm.) In addition, it is so easy to use. I never used a digital camera before and I still have no reason to look at the instruction booklet. The camera is pretty self explanatory with its helpful menu screen. Editing photo's is a breeze and the software is very user friendly. The various setting mode's (sport, close-up, night, landscape, and auto) all work well for their applications. I highly recommend this camera to anyone seeking a great value.

Summary: Absolutely a Great Buy
Review: I have bought this camera 3 days ago and I cant stop taking pictures. The quality of pictures is great at any setting. I especially love the sports setting (for moving objects). A must if u travel a lot and like to take pictures while on a vehicle.
The zooming makes it even better. The software is very user friendly and the optional accessories look good too. I have been searching for a both inexpensive and good quality camera, I was very close to buying the 4 mp hp850, after I tried it, but this one definitly changed my mind. Superb quality for a great price.

Summary: One great digital camera
Review: I have had this camera about 2 weeks now and I can honestly say there is not a single thing I dislike about it. I took it on a trip to Estes Park, CO and the pictures came out fantastic. The detail is amazing and the color was spot on. I've also had no problems with the indoor quality of my pictures and what I don't like I can easily correct with my photoshop program. The unit is lightweight and fits nice in the palm of my hand. It has 5 seperate modes (auto, sport, night, scenery and macro) and it even takes Quicktime Video! I specifically purchased this unit becuase of the Kodak name and the cameras ability to accept SD cards. I think that CF (compactflash) is on the way out and I already had a SD card for my PPC. The camera hooked up to my WinXP machine without any trouble and I was transferring photos and video within minutes. Where I think this camera really shines is the Kodak Easy Share software. It lets you unload your camera, create albums, modify the photo (very basic stuff though), and even order prints online! I've already taken advantage of the online ordering and the quality is fantastic. I highly recommend you have a broadband connection though, since the file size on "best" setting is rather large. Dont be afraid to try this camera!

Summary: Not What I Expected
Review: I had purchased the Kodak DX4330 3.1 mp camera about a year ago and I can't say enough about how good a camera this is. So when I saw that Kodak came out with a 5mp camera (DX4530)using the same body and docking system that the DX4330 uses, I ordered it in September. I figured that this camera must been sensational with the 5 megapixels.
When I got the camera and used it for a few days I noticed no real difference in the picture quality then the DX4330 in fact on indoor shots the pictures came out a lot darker.
I spoke to Kodak and they told me that it was possible that I could have a bad sensor, but they weren't sure. So I emailed them an indoor picture taken with the DX4330 and the same picture taken with the DX4530 so they can compare and find out if something was wrong.
They reviewed the two pictures and told me that the picture from the DX4530 was darker than the one taken with the DX4330 but it fell in the acceptable range. THEIR acceptable range not mine.
They also said that some cameras may be built a little different than others.
So I sent the camera back for a replacement. I received the new DX4530 a couple of days ago. Took some indoor pictures with it and found out it was no different than the one I sent back.
So I am sending this one back and getting a refund.
To bad, because as I said the DX4330 is a great little camera, what happened to Kodak technology with the DX4530?

Summary: Excellent camera for beginners, great for Moderate users
Review: If you don't know what an F Stop is, have no idea how shutter speed effects your photograph, or don't know aperture from temperature then this camera is for you. Kodak's Easyshare is your basic "turn it on, aim and shoot" type camera. All it takes to operate this camera is the ability to insert a battery. The picture quality is amazing in normal lighting conditions, but does suffer a little in low light without some user knowledge or a tripod. The camera has a few features that you can tweak, such as small exposure adjustments. My favorite feature on this camera is the movie mode. Having mini movies with sound is such a joy when you want to show people something, and a still picture just doesn't cut it (like baby's first steps). I almost find I am making more movies then taking pictures these days. I was initially unhappy at the ease of use, since I am a photography junkie that loves total control of everything. However, as time has gone by I find that I am getting exactly the types of pictures that I want to get, but I don't have to do all of the thinking anymore. If you don't mind letting the camera do most of the work then look no farther. For price, quality, and ease of use I would give this product an A+. Lastly, I would recommend that you purchase rechargeable batteries and a charger, and also at least a 256k memory card. Happy photographing.

Summary: Great Quality for Price, Especially Video!
Review: I must say this is my first purchase of a digital camera, but I am very pleased with my choice. I was looking for a resonably priced yet high quality digital camera. I don't think you can find another 5.0 megapixel camera for this price. Another thing I liked about it was the option to that videos with sound. That was something I wanted in a camera. Unfortunately, you have to buy a decent size card in order to get any length at all. I bought a 256 MB card, and I take 1-3 minute clips. It works out great for me. I think with the card, I can take a little over 16 minutes of video, plus a few high quality pictures. I bought the card from accupc.com which I ran across while looking for a the least expensive card. I don't have the dock because I order my prints online from clarkcolor.com (can prepay for prints at 19 cents each), which to me is more cost efficient than the price of the docking station and paper, etc. Plus I have a CD burner on my computer but not a DVD burner. I found a program called EOVideo for 34.95 which converts the videos (in Quicktime format) to SVCD which can be burned on to a CD and then played on most DVD players. Pretty good quality video too...about the same as any typical home video. Bottom line, I LOVE IT!!!

Summary: 5 all the way
Review: There surely are some things that could have made this camera better, but nothing is perfect. But when you talk about picture quality, reasonable price, ease of use for occasional photographer, this camera is a great value.
I purchased mine with the charging dock and have no regrets. The rechargeable battery seems to last infinity longer than my previous ricoh digital camera which absolutely ate the aa batteries. Maybe there's a slight exaggeration but I have found the rechargeable battery seems to have a good life before it must be recharged.
Kodak is a name to be trusted. I've seen cameras come close to this price on ebay, and that's for a REFURBISHED MODEL. Buy new to ensure your warranty.
I'm having a lot of fun with this camera and am well pleased with the accompanying software and the picture quality.
