1 Nice camera, but not well made
I bought two of these after checking out lots of reviews and have been very happy with them until recently when the battery doors on broke on both of them (after only 3 months!) The only way to keep it closed is with a rubber band around the whole camera. Nice pictures, but VERY disapointed in the quality.

3 My husband enjoys this digital camera....
My husband is an avid photographer, with a lot of praise for his work under his belt. He hikes constantly, and is in the local Allegheny Search and Rescue group, as well as Scoutmaster. So he needs a camera with him that can go on his belt and take pictures that can automatically be referred to. I bought him this camera a couple of years ago, and it has proven to be an excellent buy. Not only does it take fairly good pictures, but it is easy to use, and is lightweight enough to carry on his belt. When clambering down mountains looking for idiot Scouts who fell because they went where they were not supposed to go, he needs something lightweight. It also allows those professionals to see original pictures of how people landed, and where they were, so they can accurately treat them. My husband still wants the more expensive Nikon, but that will be for his own nature photography.
Good buy...

4 KODAK CREATED THE BEST CAMERA ON THE PLANET
For several years while other major camera companies were peddling their digital cameras, Kodak stayed out of the picture. (No Pun Intended) However, when Kodak saw the possibilities their company exploded creating some of the most awesome digital photography equipment on the planet.
One such camera is Kodak EasyShare Model CX 7330. Not much to say except buy it. Sharp pictures, Easy and quick download to your computer, fantastic prints, Exquisite Website pictures and much more.
I purchased mine after returning the HP model without the optical zoom. Compared to that one, Kodak's Easy Share 7330 makes HPs look like an old Brownie.
On a personal note, I use my camera to take pictures of every day appliances, such as tables, refrigerators, etc; things we take for granted. I share these pictures with my "Autistic" students in order to teach these wonderful jids basic everyday life skills.

5 easy to use
I find this camera very easy to use. It takes really nice pictures and is small enough to fit in my purse. Only problem is it is not made well. The battery door no longer cleses on it's own, I have to tape it and the zoom button has fallen off for the 2nd time, 1st time I found it and put it back on, this time I wasn't as lucky. I think a camera should hold up better than this after only one year of use.
6 nice camera
its really nice camera i had one before and i bought second one
7 Easy To Use! Great Gift!
I got this Camera for Christmas and I love it! I wasn't that great at taking pictures before but I am getting a lot better at it thanks to the software that comes along with the camera. For the first time I have been able to figure out how to crop pictures get rid of red eye and delete pictures that are no good and take another one right then! I also love the email feature. I took pictures of my cousin's wedding and was able to email them to my Aunt right then! It's really cool. I also love the screen on the back where you can look at pictures back and forth and zoom in. The screen also is good when you use the close up feature which you can see on the screen while your taking the picture so you can get that angle just right. Its a great gift and I am not dissapointed at all!
8 I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT
i got this camera for my birthday with the printer dock and i absolutely love them both. they were so easy to use and the pictures come out great. i looove it soooooo much!
9 Easy to take fun pictures!
This is the second digital camera i have owned, but so much easier to use. Takes clear pictures -- I like intuitive elements on the switches -- and the movies with sounds are a lovely feature. Often, the subject has no idea you could be recording a short little flick!
Downloading is easy with the included software. Software also allows easy editing and cropping.
I would recommend this to the user who wants to take pictures and not waste a lot of time with learning how to use the camera.
10 Easy to use
My sister got one for me and one for my dad for Christmas and it's so easy that even my dad figured it out!
11 Kodak Easy Share Camera and Dock plus more to buy...
This is a great item. Very easy to use and very efficient. Even if you are not technical all you need to do is follow the simple instructions and you can print pics, download to your computer, email pics, record short videos with sound and a bunch of other things. I even downloaded a picture and emailed it to an online store to print the picture on a purse and T shirt for a gift.
BUT, be patient with the printing off the dock. It's slow and the printer cartridge lasts for 40 pics and that's it. You only have one choice of paper and cartridge pack so don't buy all the other fancy papers because the printer cartridge is only sold as a package that includes 40 sheets of Kodak paper for $25.
The camera didn't come with a carrying case and you definetly need one so the camera doesn;t get scratched, etc. I bought one at a retailer for $10.
Then I had to buy a memory card otherwise the camera itself only hold 10 pictures. I think with the memory card (that slips into the side of the camera) I get about 100 pics. That was about $40. I also got that at a retailer.
One more thing...don't count on your retailer to have the Kodak assessories readily available. I originally went to Best Buy and Frys and they were out of the things I needed. So I bought on line at Kodak.com.
Also, the battery is rechargeable on the dock so don't throw it out or recycle it because you can recharge it and use it over and over. The dock charges it in about 3 hrs.
12 Love the camera but software is not for Windows 98
This is the second digital camera I have owned . The thing I like about the CX7330 is that it is extremely lightweight, easy on batteries, takes sharp prints,and most of all , easy to understand and simple to use and it has a optical zoom which is much better than the digital zoom.
The main problem I have right now is that my Computer which is a Windows 98 will not download the software.That is not the software's fault because my computer is 4 systems back so I need a new computer which I have ordered. I'm a little behind on modern technology and I have looked at a lot of cameras and this is by far the easiest to use. Also be sure to buy a good memory card with this camera .I bought the Sandisk 256 MB which will store 271 prints on high resolution.
13 Dang!
I take a lot of pictures, but didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new digital....don't want to worry about it being lost or stolen. I bought this camera because it had gotten really great reviews from other users but was still really inexpensive. Maybe users who need a whole lot of features or manual controls wouldn't be happy with it, but the pictures I've taken so far have been excellent.
This camera is also very easy to use--nice, simple zoom feature that gets good closeups without having to be right in someone's face. I agree with other reviewers that the door where you insert the memory card seems VERY fragile, but otherwise it's pretty sturdy and compact.
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better array of features and such good crisp pictures in other cameras in this price range. If I like it as much as I think I'm going to, I'm also going to spring for the matched printer dock so I can print some of these nice photos. I checked it out too (so you don't have to) and it got equally good reviews across the board.
14 Great choice if you're not into thinking about pictures
I'm not a big photographer, but I wanted a camera I could use to take pictures of the work going on at my house. This was a perfect choice. It did what I expected it to do, right out of the box. The cable was simple to figure out (don't know why anyone would need the docking station), and the very first time I hooked it in to my computer and turned it on, there were my pictures ready to edit and arrange.
I bought a 256m chip, and it holds all the pictures I've ever wanted to take. It took FOREVER (at least 250 photos, many with flash) for the first set of batteries to wear out. I'm on the second set now, and they've been plugging along for 125-150 photos.
Cons: (a) I'd love more of a zoom range, but I guess this is standard for a less expensive camera like this. (b) The door to the port feels like a tinkertoy, but I've just been very careful with it and so far it's holding up fine. (c) The little squigglies on the top dial aren't easy to figure out, but I'm not sure you need to use them anyway.
Good little camera for simple straightforward photography.
15 TWICE AS NICE!!!!!!
i have had this camera for a while now, and surprisingly i have XP and it works just fine, my brother has XP and he also has one of these cameras and his works fine - i love the options and i love the zoom - the video is short and sweet, but its a camera not a video recorder - the video's / pictures email really easily, and printing is great - nice quality and you also have a option of "fun effects" once you take the pictures and go into the albums in your computer - (software was pie - not hard to install at all) you can make your pictures look like cartoons, antique, black and white, fisheye, and even give them a "coloring book" effect- very cool stuff - also you can set your control panel to elect your Kodak Albums as your screen saver, and the program randomly selects which pictures to view, so it flips between every photo you have ever taken, and your screen saver is now a slide show!! its great, and for the price, its twice as nice!
16 best camera ever!
This was my first digital camera and I could not be any happier! It is so easy to use and the software is great. I would not change one thing about it. Be sure to get a memory card and extra batteries though. The pictures turn out perfect. I would recommend this camera to anyone!
17 Kodak CX7330
I just bought this camera and I am VERY happy with it. I was considering the Fuji A210, but the time between pictures was so slow and the image quality was bad. I looked at this one because a friend said to and it's the best one I've looked at in this price range (under $200). You can't beat 3.1MP AND optical zoom. I've taken a few pictures, the batteries that came with the camera are still fine. I did get rechargable though lol. The camera works if you don't have a ton of light, but I still reccomend a pretty well lit area, as any camera you get will need light. As for the user a few reviews down, I have Windows XP and the software works perfect with it, as does the camera. The ONLY complaint I have is the memory is internal so you have to buy a new memory card ($8 at Wal Mart). That's not bad though, considering I can now take 33 pictures.
18 Good photos, easy to use, some quirks, little manual control
For most people, 3 megapixels is all you need. And while I wouldn't have chosen the Kodak CX7330 for myself, my wife bought it for me to replace our old 3-megapixel Konica, and it's quite a capable little machine. Despite extensive photography experience for over 20 years, I'm surprised how much more I use it because I don't have to make so many decisions about the pictures I take.
The CX7330 takes great snapshots, just don't expect much manual control over them. Whether this is the camera for you depends on whether you want that control (in which case you should pick another model), or just want to take decent photos (in which case this one is quite good).
The camera body is not especially small and all plastic, but (other than the memory card door) feels solid and is comfortable to hold. The controls are very straightforward: choose one of five photo modes, or one movie mode, then press a button to shoot. Since the camera has a good lens and intelligent electronics, the results are generally very good, with much better auto-white balance than on many other comparable cameras. For novices or those who don't have or don't want to use a computer to process their photos, the Share button and available dock and printer could be handy, though they're not for me.
Low-light performance without a flash isn't so great. There is no way to force long exposures, the camera lacks an auto-focus assist lamp like Canon models have, and the lens is a bit slow. Startup and shot-to-shot times are decent, but not all that fast, and fairly typical of this class of camera. Battery life, using either NiMH rechargeables or the included lithium expendables, is fabulous, the best I've ever seen from a digicam using just two AA batteries -- and a huge improvement over many other battery-eating models.
The only control you have over the camera is to choose the shooting mode, set how the flash behaves (auto, forced on, forced off, or red-eye reduction), decide on a resolution (you have no control over how much compression the camera uses, just photo size), and set the self-timer or nice 3-shot burst mode if you want. You can adjust the exposure compensation to take longer or shorter exposures, but there's no way to set the shutter speed, focus, or f-stop directly.
One useful option is a 3-megapixel 3:2 ratio size, which makes shots that fit on the longer 4x6" prints from most photo stores, without needing to be cropped. The movie mode (if you're into that) is quite good for this sort of camera: 320x240 pixels with sound, 15 frames per second, with no limit on time other than the size and speed of your memory card. There is also a neat onscreen display of little "brackets" showing where the camera is focusing, though there is no way to change that other than to recompose your photo.
A few other quirks: Other than the image size, most other parameters (like flash mode) reset themselves when you turn the camera off and on. You can choose either to use the internal 16 MB memory OR an SD/MMC memory card (if present), but not both, i.e. there's no easy way to use an external card until it fills up, then switch to the internal memory automatically. You must make the switch using a menu, or remove your memory card. Finally, while the optical (lens-moving) zoom works all the time, the digital zoom (always a misomer; it's really "in-camera cropping") only operates if you have the LCD screen turned on.
So this is not a camera for serious pro or "prosumer" photography, but for carrying around all the time as a family snapshot camera, or as a backup when you just need to get the picture, it does the job well. And for the price, it's quite a deal.
19 Most bang for the buck
I bought this camera on sale a got a $30 gift card so I am happy. The video and sound quality is unbelievably high quality. The software is very easy to use. I was amazed how easy it was to remove red eye from previous pictures taken from my fugi film camera. I have not experienced red eye with this camera, but if I do the software will remove it very easily. The body looks cheap but it feels sturdy when you hold it. It has so many features that come in higher priced cameras, the bang for the buck is what counts for me. Cons I don't like the USB under the flemsy plastic flap. This same flap conceals the a/v out and SD card. The less I have to open that flimsy plastic flap the better. Other than that all is good to go. I would definitely recommend this camera to family and friends.
20 This is great camera for a little price.
My girlfriend has this camera. The software CD works well with both Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Don't understand why the other reviewer say that it's not compatible. Even if there is this problem, one can always goto www.kodak.com and download the latest software.
Uploading pictures is easy. Connect the USB cable that comes with the camera to the computer, then turn on the camera, the Kodak software automatically detects the photo transfer in a few seconds. Then, you just press "transfer all", it transfers all pictures right away.
Emailing picture is easy. Press email button, enter "from" your email address; enter "to" destination email address, then choose the pictures from right side and click "send". That's it! It is so simple. Of course, be sure you are online when you do this.
The picture quality is pretty good, better than a comparable SONY, which is even costier. I myself use the DX7440, which is a higher-end Kodak 4.0MP with full TV-quality movie mode. We upload pictures to Ofoto.com and print 4"X6", 8"X10" pictures. The colors are true, natural and not over-satuated.
I compare the photos taken from this to my DX7440, there is no difference for 4"X6" at least. My DX7440 does take photos in dark better since there are manual features for that purpose and the DX7440 is more expensive.
The movie mode is a nice extra since sometimes you really want to take some short movies and capture the moments you like to capture in motion.
I have two Kodak digital cameras and my girlfriends and some of our friends all use Kodak digital cameras. As long as it is manufactured after 1/1/2004, the cameras are fine since there is the extra of new Kodak color-science enhancement for the new cameras manufactured in 2004.
The Zoom len also works great. Taking close shots requires pressing a close-shot button otherwise it won't focus properly, just have to remember that.
This camera also works well with Kodak printer dock, the prints are laminated, and it makes the photos free from moisture attack and finger prints. Nice!
In conclusion, this is one great camera. Yet, for those who like to take better night shots and more movie features, get the LS743 or DX7440 or CX7530 or CX7430. These cameras comes with TV-quality movie features.
21 Not compatible with Windows XP
The camera was great and very easy to use, however it is not compatible with Windows XP. We called Kodak and they were unable to help us. Hopefully they will come out with a patch to help this out but in the meantime, mine was returned.
22 Great camera
This is a really great camera; I've had mine for about half a year now, and it has proven to be durable and high-quality. The batteries run out pretty fast, but all digital cameras tend to be quite battery-greedy. Note: use the viewfinder instead of turning on the camera screen to save batteries. This is the perfect, affordable camera for first-time digital camera users!
23 Great Product!
This was my first digital camera purchase and I could not have chosen a better buy. I have only had this camera two days and I already know how to work every feature. It comes with everything you need to get started. This camera is very functional with flash options, a zoom feature, self-timer (allowing you to get in the picture), 5 picture-taking settings and a video mode. I would suggest buying an SD (Secure Digital) card and extra batteries to get more pictures from your camera.
24 love it
after a long wait and reviewing many cameras I opted for this one and pretty much took it home opened it and started taking pictures. Attended a wedding that weekend and couldn't use it enough playing with the video snapping pictures. Print perfectly and easy to use, doesn't take much. Great carry along size also, but do need the extra storage card to hold more pictures.
