Optics and Resolution
With its 3.1-megapixel sensor, the CX6330 can capture up to 2032 x 1524 pixel images for enlargements up to 11 x 14 inches. It also offers 1600 x 1200 (2 MP) and 1280 x 960 (1 MP) resolution modes. The aspheric, all-glass Kodak Retinar 3x zoom lens helps you get closer to your subject with a focal range of 5.6-16.8mm (35 mm equivalent: 37-111mm). It also features a smooth 3.3x continuous digital zoom (for a 10x total zoom).
Included and Optional Docks
The included EasyShare Dock 6000 offers a USB port for fast and easy transfer of pictures from camera to computer as well as a unique two-position tilt feature for improved viewing of images from the camera's LCD. The Kodak CX6230 can be stored in the dock any time so that it will always be charged and ready to go (it can fully charge batteries in as little as three hours).
In addition to the transfer and battery charge features of the Dock 6000, the optional Printer Dock 6000 adds the ability to print 4-by-6-inch photos directly from your camera. You can also hook it up to your TV for a slide-show presentation.
Movie Mode
The EasyShare CX6330 can also capture video with sound at 320 x 240 pixels and 15 frames per second. Your video length is limited only by the amount of space left in the internal 16 MB memory or optional memory card. You can transfer these QuickTime movies to your PC, or view them on your TV with the included A/V cable.
More Features
Review your photos using the 1.6-inch high-resolution indoor/outdoor LCD screen on the back of the CX6330, which enables you to see your images even in direct sunlight.
The Share button on the back of the EasyShare CX6330 enables you to tag pictures right on the camera for automatic printing or e-mailing, after transferring to your PC. You can even store up to 32 e-mail addresses in the camera.
The CX6230 includes Kodak EasyShare software for Windows and Macintosh systems, providing quick, effortless digital picture transfer, organization, editing, e-mailing, sharing and printing. The exclusive One Touch to Better Pictures feature--which takes advantage of proprietary color technologies developed by Kodak--helps Windows OS users get vibrant, true-to-life prints from home inkjet printers.
Other features include:
Storage and Transfer
Images can be stored using the internal 16 MB memory or on optional Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via the included EasyShare Dock 6000 using a USB 1.1 connection. A USB cable is also included.
Power and Size
The camera is powered by 2 AA batteries (alkalines included); rechargeable NiMH batteries are recommended for digital cameras. The EasyShare CX6330 measures 4.0 x 2.6 x 1.5 inches and weighs 6.2 ounces without batteries.
What's In The Box
This special bundle includes the EasyShare CX6330 digital camera, EasyShare Dock 6000, carrying case, and photo paper. It also comes with USB and A/V cables, wrist strap, and CD-ROM with EasyShare software and drivers for Windows and Mac
The only nuisance item is that the USB connection is behind a flimsy hinged door which seems like it could break if you are note careful. But that in no way takes away from the excellent pictures you can take for $200!
For those IT-background people (like me), you might consider upgrade the firmware to 1.03 if you haven't done so. Download it from Kodak web site. It makes your camera's operation become more stable.
It supports two types of memory cards, MMC (Multi-media card) and SD (Secure Digital) card. With a MMC supported, you can exchange the MMC with the most latest handphone. (MMC is commonly used in modern handphone).This is a great advantage for investment as most other camera can only support one type of card.
Not every digital camera comes with buil-in memory. CX6330 has a build-in 16MB storage. And my camera also comes with extra 64MB storage in MMC. It allows you to copy the pictures to each other (from MMC to build-in and vice-versa). The advantage is you can copy the picture from your friends MMC to your build-in memory instead of take your friends' MMC home to transfer to your computer. Or you can transfer a nice picture from your build-in memory to your frineds' MMC. To perform this, go into the review mode, and browse to the picture you want, press the menu button, then you navigate to an option called "copy". (This feature is not mentioned in the user manual). No wonder it uses "EasyShare" software.....:-)
To browse to the picture that you want faster, you can diplay up to 9 pictures at once in your LCD screen.
For beginner, you might want to learn how to use th camera. After transfering pictures to computer, use the EasyShare software to check the properties for every individual pictures. You will learn a lot from there.

We chose NOT to purchase the dock. Just buy some rechargeable NiMH, and you'll be fine. Pics are easily downloaded to your computer with the cable provided. I wouldn't recommend the printer... unless you do a LOT of printing; the prints with Kodak Ultima Paper on our HP printer cost 27 cents each compared to 57 cents on the dedicated Kodak printer.
pros:
- kodak's greatest strength remains its EasyShare system, which makes it very easy to mark photos for printing and e-mailing.
- convenient docking station for charging the batteries, and connecting to a PC.
- the optional printer dock 6000 lets you place the camera on the dock, and one press of a button produces a high quality 4x6" print in 90 seconds.
- 3X optical zoom.
- 3MP resolution.
- multi-zone auto-focus system.
- has scene modes: Auto, Sport, Night Portrait, Landscape and Close-up.
- good photo quality.
- low noise in images.
- good macro performance.
- very easy to use.
- nice layout of controls and easy to understand.
- minimal shutter lag.
- good burst mode.
- supports fast usb 2.0.
- decent size and weight for the features and price (4.0 x 2.6 x 1.5 in" weighing in at 6.2oz).
- can be used with non-proprietary rechargeable AA batteries. this means that in a pinch, replacement batteries are as close as the nearest convenience store.
- good value - good feature set at this price level.
cons:
- more purple fringing than competition.
- details in photos not detailed enough.
- soft corners.
- some red-eye incidence.
- slight barrel distortion at wide angle.
- exposure control is automatic only, no ability to directly control lens aperture or shutter speed.
- LCD display can be difficult to use in dim lighting.
- no AF assist lamp.
- limited image resolution options when compared to competition.
- slow start-up time.
- average shot-to-shot times.
- RAW and TIFF formats not supported.
- the 16MB of built-in memory is not adequate - be ready to shell out more $$ for more memory (SD card).
- add a few more bucks to your budget for rechargeable batteries.
for the price, this is a very nice camera and is a good value considering the 3x zoom, 3MP resolution, and the EasyShare system. the main selling point of this camera is still the ease of use as well as ease of sharing photos. for competition, consider the fuji finepix A303 and sony cybershot DSC-P52.
for an extra one hundred bucks, you can also upgrade to the kodak dx6440 and get an extra megapixel of resolution and 4x zoom vs 3x zoom.
i hope this helps you with your buying decision. peace.
The one complication I had was (ironically) the Easyshare Software. While the software specifications state that it will work on a 64-Mb ram computer, it recommends 128 Mb. I have the 64-Mb, and my computer had trouble. Basically, the Easyshare software is programmed to include itself among your computer's startup programs, which means it will automatically startup when you turn on your computer. Since this program is relatively huge, and it was competing with other softwares that automatically started up, my computer began to crash. Unfortunately, the Easyshare software does not give you the option to NOT have it startup automatically. It's a long story how I got the computer to run. The short version: since I have Windows 98, I used "msconfig.exe" to stop Easyshare from automatically starting up. Now, if I want to upload pictures, I have to first double-click on the Easyshare icon, then I press the transfer button. I recommend closing out other softwares before running Easyshare, unless you have 128 Mb or more RAM. Otherwise, your computer may crash.
As for the camera, it is very easy to use. I was able to take pictures and do other stuff without reading the user's guide. For certain things, I will have to use the guide, which is relatively short given the features the camera has. The pictures I have taken look great. To transfer photos from the camera directly to the computer, all you have to do is connect the cable provided into your camera and into a USB port on your computer. Easyshare, which should be running before you connect the cable, will automatically detect the camera and begin the transfer.
If you prefer the Dock, all you have to do to transfer photos is place the camera on the dock and press the transfer button. Assuming the Easyshare software is running, the pictures will quickly upload. The Dock also serves the purposes of recharging the batteries that come with the Dock. (Actually, the rechargeable batteries that come with the Dock are placed in the camera.) An AC adapter powers the Dock. Also, it's nice to know that if your rechargeable batteries run out, you can use certain "AA" batteries designed for cameras. An improvement I would make for the dock is a cover. When the camera is not docked, dust can easily build up on the port that connects to the camera. Actually, the dock is the weakest link in this setup. It is not clear when it is charging. Mine is good about telling me when it is done, but nothing else. Also, the camera itself does not appear to say how it's doing on power.
I shopped around and found the price here at Amazon for the bundle (camera and dock) to be a steal. Overall, it's a good value and, for the most part, easy to use.
