Summary: Really, really sorry I bought this
Review: A former professional photographer, this is my first foray into digital. What a disappointment. Bought the camera at Christmas and have had continuous software and hardware problems. Tomorrow, it goes back to Kodak (at my own trouble and expense) so they can try to determine why it spontaneously died in my purse on the way to my Mom's 75th birthday party (needless to say no pictures of a once in a lifetime event). We have the software on two computers: our laptop works fine, but desktop computer crashes every time we try to transfer pictures. In addition, both viewfinder and LCD are so dark you cannot see what you're shooting outside at night, shutter speed lag causes you to miss most pictures that aren't still life (forget taking photos of small children), and the fully charged battery died after 9 pictures on a school field trip (and only way to recharge is through the cradle). An unbelievable waste of ... [money], wish I had returned it for another brand during first 30 days. Kodak should stick to manufacturing film.

Summary: This is the best camera
Review: I just got this camera a day ago, and I already know how to work everything in it. In a matter of five minutes, I was already taking pictures and emailing them to my friends. I tried two cameras out, the Kodak LS443 and the Hewlett Packard 812. The Kodak was surely the camera for me. The Hewlett Packard is more vertical than horizontal and it was hard to reach the zoom button. The screen was a little smaller and didn't come with a port you plug into your computer. The Kodak was clearly the better camera of the two.

Summary: Kodak LS443 Gives Clear Pictures/ Easy To Use
Review: The Kodak Easy Share LS443 digital camera is just what I was looking for. Four megapixel's give it a quality rivaling the best slr cameras and its point and shoot size make it a camera easy to carry and use anywhere. There is a movie mode, and you can take pictures in burst of three useful in sporting events etc. I've had the camera about two weeks now and I am really enjoying it. I take it with me all the time. It has oodles of features. The only drawback is the joystick/OK button. Its a little small for my big fingers but I am working with it well.

Summary: Really Good Quality!!!!!
Review: The Kodak camera is really great,beacuse for four hundred dollars (approx) it's a low price for a 4 megapixel camera.You can take photos in different modes(7).The software on it is not relly good beacuse the photos go directly to a folder called "LS 443 CAMERA" so the dock is not good.i suggest you buy a SD Card Reader or you can just pop your card to your printer and just transfer your pictures from the card to the computer.The quality on the camera is really good,and it has an auto turn off feature that is great,beacuse sometimes i leave the camera on and it turns off by itself.The 4x zoom is great,but the rest (6x) are digital and it ruins the quality of the pictures.each photo is 2 mb,which takes a little space.The kodak review says that you can view pictures in the outdoors,but the brightness on the LCD is not to good in the sun.

Summary: A small but capable well-designed camera
Review: Kodak must be one of those companies that listen to customer feedback because I've experience none of the problems mentioned in earlier reviews.
For starters, installation of the Kodak software couldn't have been easier. Just pop the disk in and forget about it. The software is fairly basic but it handles the job of downloading and sorting your photos very well. Photos transfer is a quick one button operation from the docking station which also serves as the battery charger.
The lens cap, (which apparently popped off) is now gone, replaced by an external iris which closed to protect the lens when the camera is turned off. This is a much better design in my opinion, no cap to lose or forget to take off.
Operation of the camera is very intuitive thanks to the mini joystick and icons on the camera back. The small size makes it easy to carry and use. All of the bells and whistles that you would expect from a camera in this price range are there, (although most people will rarely use some of them). The photo quality is quite good and the battery lasts much longer than expected. I've only been using this camera for a couple weeks now and will update this review after I give it it's trial by fire on an upcoming Florida vacation.

Review: This is a very nice camera but I have to agree about the software. It messed up two computers, one running 98 and one running ME. The drivers wouldn't load in ME and the cardreader software trashed the computer with 98. I found out later after talking to the techs at Kodak, who I found very knowledgeable and helpful, that you don't even need the software and can just download the drivers but by then it was too late. Also the camera uses a proprietary card not SmartMedia so you can't buy a FlashPath adapter which are nice. The pictures I did manage to take before crashing the computer with the media card software turned out very nice and the camera has a lot of features for adjusting settings.

Summary: Super Product for the novice
Review: My husband gave me this as a gift for Christmas, so I've only had a few days to get to know the camera. I spent the first day with the Quick Start Guide which got me using the camera in a very short time.The next day was spent getting to know just how feature rich this camera is. I'm a "hands on" learning type of person, so it took me a great deal of time to read through the very thorough and easy to understand User's Guide and practice with the camera. Later that evening, I was surprised to learn that it was so easy to load the software program and retrieve the pictures I had taken using Windows 98. The camera is everything that I hoped that it would be. It takes very clear pictures on still figures. I've tried to take some of my cat, but he moves and the pictures come out blurry in the "Auto" mode. I recommend using the "burst" feature or the "sport" mode for moving objects instead of the "Auto" mode. I found that I did have to purchase a 128MB memory card becasue 16MB of internal memory didn't allow for many best quality pictures. I've had the opportunity to use the video feature as well. I took a 13 sec. video to send to my father-in-law for his birthday. The only problem that I had was that the Easyshare software e-mailing program didn't support sending the video. It was 3.67MB and the program didn't permit transmittal of more than 2MB. I sent the video through my regular e-mail program and sent it as an attachment. My father-in-law was very impressed and said that I had a very good digital camera (a great compliment from a computer guru). I consider myself to be a novice with digital cameras. This is an incerdibly easy camera to manuver your way around. The menu is easy to understand, the delete and review features are clear, and retrieving your pictures is incredibly easy. I highly recommend this camera!

Summary: Good Camera
Review: Maybe the people who complain about the Kodak software not working with Windows XP should ditch Windows XP ... or learn how to use it. The software works fine on both Mac OSX and Mac OS 9 ... but most things just work better on Macs anyway. As to the camera, it is easy to use, flexible, and takes pictures with very nice color. There realy isn't much negative to say about the camera, except perhaps that the LCD screen could be of a bit higher resolution, and I could always use a stronger optical zoom (maybe 6x)!
