Summary: Great camera, accessories required
Review: This was my first digital camera purchase. After reading so many reviews (and going to different shops like Best Buy to check out the cameras) I decided on this one. I was definitely not disappointed. Here are the main pros and cons:
Pros:
1) The 3.1M pixel resolution is more than adequate for a 5 x 7 (which is what my wife loves to print). We ordered prints from ofoto.com and they were superb! (seemed even better than prints from a 35mm).
2) The movie feature is also nice - it's done at a fixed low resolution and the output is in a quicktime movie format (.mov).

Cons:
1) The main drawback is the fact that you need to buy a separate battery charger. There are cheap ones available or you could get the relatively expensive Kodak camera dock like I did. The dock is convenient for charging and downloading images to the computer, bit I still think it's too expensive.
2) You also need to get rechargeable batteries since the ones that come with the camera are not rechargeable.

So overall, the camera is great, but you do have to factor in additional accessories like the rechargeable batteries and battery charger. Still, it's a great camera and I would highly recommend it.

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.

Summary: wait on ordering additional items
Review: My mother bought this camera and many of the suggested items as a present for my first mother's day. The camera's fun and relatively easy to use; however, the additional items Amazon suggested to go with it (batteries and charger, memory card) were not only unnecessary, they were incompatible with the system. I would recommend buying the camera first, then adding ordering accessories as you need/want them, making sure they are the products that work with this model of digital camera.

Summary: Great Camera - Just What I Hoped For
Review: This camera was my first digital camera purchase. I've found it to be one of the better purchases I've made. The quality of the prints I've received has been great (with the exception noted below), and the movie feature is fun too.

A word to the wise, if you get you picture developed from this camera (8x10 and below), and you can see pixels in the picture, you should upload one of the pictures to Ofoto for comparison. I took 26 pictures on disk to my local Target for development and was sorely disappointed at the quality of them. I uploaded the same pictures to Ofoto, and four days later I got back perfect (35mm quality) pictures.

The movie quality isn't great, but it is fun to capture perfect voices along with slightly blurred video to store on disk for eternity. I picked up a 256mb SD card for the camera, which I can store 200+ top quality pictures and/or 30 minutes video on for < $50.

My only problem now is what to do with the three 35mm cameras in my cabinet. No more wasted film ,or duplicates of pictures with peoples eyes closed for me. My only gripe is the cheapo lens cover, it comes off all the time. The new DX4340 seems to have taken care of that problem.

Happy shooting!

Summary: Camera software problems on some computers running WindowsXP
Review: I have a different model Kodak camera, however they all use the same EasyShare software. Running Windows XP, I could not get the software to work properly. After several hours on the phone with Kodak tech support, they couldn't get it working either.

They said they are aware of the problem on some computers running Windows XP. It is now several months later and they still don't have a fix. They don't really seem to care either.

It might not be a bad idea to consider other brands, instead of Kodak. Since, if the software won't work properly, then what good is the camera?

Summary: Great Camera
Review: I got this camera for x-mas in 2002. I had a poloroid before and I was looking for a more professional camera. since I am 15 I was alittle skeptical about getting it because of the price... I thought for a camera like this it would be more... As soon as I took it out and set up the dock that you can get at any store that sells kodak digi Cameras I was shooting my pets, my room, my family at the reuion our cousin's new baby and I have recently gone to the beach with it and it was great! I has incredible focus and zoom 10X and the clearness of it it outstanding! If you get it though, make sure to get a storage card so it will extend your number of shots...Keep in mind though that the flash dosn't light up things very far and it is alittle bulky to carry... McAuley our basketball team just won states for Maine and I took it to that and it wasn't very clear b/c the civic center had bad lighting...make sure your in a well lighted place and enjoy...Nora

Summary: Absolutely fabulous!!!!
Review: I just purchased this camera a couple of weeks ago, and I love it! I knew nothing of digital cameras. Nope, I'm still not an expert, but this camera is so easy to use! I do not recommend the docking station. However, I do recommend purchasing the travel pack. The bag is too big for carrying around town, but it is great for packing. It comes with the rechargable battery and a charger. I did buy the docking station, but the travel pack's battery and the ease of transferring directly from the camera to the computer just doesn't warrant the cost.

Summary: More than enough capacity for excellent pictures
Review: We bought this camera to take with us on a trip. Because we weren't sure of the capacity, we also got three 64MB cards and a charger to go with it. Each card held over 70 pictures on Best quality, so we had more than enough room. We also ended up taking some short videos that did not seem to deplete the memory very much.

The camera takes excellent pictures in a wide range of lighting. We found that if a picture came out too dark or if the camera adjusted the exposure based on the wrong subject, we could just switch from the Auto setting to Night or Landscape and get a great picture. Of course, the big advantage of the digital aspect is that you know the results of a bad picture immediately instead of after getting home. Retake the photo and delete the bad take.

We also bought the travel bag, which is too big to actually carry around, but worked OK for packing. It came with a charger and a spare battery pack, which I highly recommend. If you use Live View on the camera, the batteries will drain quickly. You can also drain them by sitting and looking at your pictures for long periods of time. It's handy to have the charger back in the hotel room getting another battery pack ready for the next day. With heavy use, which we did, the battery lasted all day. However, we opted not to use the Live View. We didn't want to get to an island or somewhere nice and have a dead battery.

The software that Kodak provides is excellent for creating albums, slide shows, and getting prints. Full screen, the photos are clear with excellent color.

If we had it to do all over again, we would have bought this camera a long time ago. We highly recommend it.

Summary: If I can use it... anyone can!!
Review: I was a intimadated when it came to digital cameras. This one is GREAT. Easy point and shoot. My photos came out good everytime. With the review screen I could delete all the bad photos and retake at that very moment. Goodbye film.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Great camera...lousy service by Kodak
Review: I've had this camera for 12 months and 3 weeks. It (of course) has a 12-month warranty. 2 weeks out of warranty and it dies. While this has been an excellent camera while functioning, it is particularly frustrating when an electronic item fails moments after its warranty period. Kodak will not budge. Other electronics companies that I've dealt with in the past have stepped up and responsibly honored their warranty slightly beyond norm in appreciation for customer loyalty. So far, no luck with Kodak. After talking to a service center, I've found that the repair is likely to cost me about $200. Important note; the camera was never dropped or exposed to moisture. This is simply a mechanical failure.
While this camera was great while it worked, my experience has me doubting that I will replace it with another Kodak.
