 Okay for first camera Strengths: Light weight, digital
Weaknesses: Memory, not clear pictures, price
Summary: I find that when my pictures are printed there are a lot of them not clear. They are hard to see and just don't look good. It is an okay camera for someone starting out but not if you plan to take many photos.

Strengths: Nice crisp pictures, easy to use, decent software. Nice feature that you can hook it up to a tv. Flash does a good job powering down in macro shots
Weaknesses: Quite a bit of noise in low light, a bit sluggish shot-to-shot performance, it zooms a bit loudly
Summary: 2004-10-30 08:13:55 Overall, good camera for the price, takes nice pictures, but it has very few scene modes, so I would recommend it mostly for beginning digital users.

Strengths: Quality of pictures, size of camera, battery life is OK for a digital camera
Weaknesses: Only 16MB of memory
Summary: Moving up from a 1.3MP camera. I can really see the quality of the 3.2MP image especially when printed. Very light weight and the batteries seem to alst longer than my older Olympus. I like the number of features you get for the money as well (I paid $168 for it - a good deal).

Strengths: clear crisps pictures very nice
Weaknesses: only 16mb internal memory
Summary: This Is a nice little camerera I really like it I also received the camerea dock 6000 which I also like. The only thing is that for the printer dock 6000 you always have to purchase the photo kit which runs at $25 each time however you do get 40 prints out of the kit so not bad. Overall for someone who is not a pro photographer this is a great camera

Strengths: Simple to use, has a movie mode, takes AA sized batteries, low price!
Weaknesses: No manual controls, a bit of lag between shots
Summary: I am a 35mm loyalist with a terrific Nikon SLR that I use for most of my photography, especially when photographing kids and other portraits. However, I was tempted to pickup a Digital camera because of the amount of acitivities my son is into and wanting to capture all of the moments without having to develop every shot. I was going to go for the much more expensive Canon A80 or Canon S400 but since technology is changing so fast and this is a supplementary camera, I opted to "cheap out" and got the Kodak CX6330 for $150! After using it for Xmas and New Year's even gatherings and for several other adhoc shots, I couldn't be more satisfied with the shots that I've received from this camera. It does take some getting used to going to a digital from a 35mm SLR since you're so used to firing shots off at will. There is a lag between shots for the Kodak and by the time you press the shutter to snap a picture there is a brief split second of time lost and the final pic will be a tad different than when you intended to take a shot. This becomes a factor when photographing small kids who aren't standing still waiting to be photographed. However, after developing the pics, I was stunned at how nicely the color balance, sharpness, and overall quality of the pictures came out. One thing that I really liked about the camera is that in the high resolution shots, you can default the camera to take 4 x 6 pictures as opposed to the slightly larger prints that most digital cameras take. This saves time from having to trim all the pics for final printing or relying on the printers to do the trim work.
There is red eye on some subjects, regardless of the eye color but that is easily curable using software. There are scene modes on the camera for Nighttime (you'll need a tripod for this mode), portrait, landscape, and macro.
The camera also has a low res movie mode that comes in handy in some situations...for example, at my son's karate class, after he's learned a new move, we were able to film it right in front of the teacher so that we can later review it our PC for practicing. These movies are by no means intended to be DVD quality...more for emailing and for general use on the PC.
The camera comes with 16MB of onboard memory...I highly suggest getting a larger capacity SD card. With a 256MB card, I've been averaging about 250 high resolution shots!
The Kodak batteries included are great...they got me about 200 plus shots. I bough a pair of extras to keep in the case and picked up some 2000mAh NimH rechargeable batteries for everyday use!
I highly recommend this camera for anyone that wants good pictures with minimal expense!

Strengths: So Easy!!
Weaknesses: None so far
Summary: After reading many reviews and comparisons on this website and others...we got this camera because it is highly recommended as a first time digital and because it was bundled with the printing dock for a great price plus it had the most enthusiastic and consistent reviews. What a great deal!! The camera and software are easy to use and the picture quality from the dock is great. My husband loves to take tons of pictures, so we also bought a 128mb card right away and took over 100 pictures on vacation and still have room for more. We took the dock without the photo tray with us too and kept it charged up every night so we have not had any battery problems. If you've ever taken pictures and later wished you could take out other people or have gotten closer to a subject, the software makes it so easy to do this and then save, print or email the new picture! If you're on a budget and are hesitating about taking the plunge...stop reading reviews and go for it!!

Strengths: Easy to point and shoot, video W/ sound, software has worked well for me.
Weaknesses: not many adjustments for advanced photographers. no lens adapter. weak battery and memory card doors. does eat up batteries
Summary: I am very pleased with this camera. I have read how the software was bad but have had no problems at all. You can crop, adjust contrast and brightness, get rid of red eye, enhance, etc. I recommend getting the dock as it makes exporting your photos easier and keeps the batteries charged. Also, get a memory card as well.I also like the email feature.Video mode also has sound.Overall a very nice beginers digital camera

Strengths: Light, easy usage, great pictures
Weaknesses: none so far
Summary: I'm very satisfied with this camera. It is ideal for a beginner like me. Although you can't manually set the focus, there are enough options left to get great pictures -- even at night without flash.
Videos are astonishingly good as well and with sound.
Battery life is also satisfactory. I bought some 1800mAh rechargeable batteries with this camera, and they are enough for about 150 pictures.
Rechargeables are highly recommended though.

Strengths: Instructions are great and easy to follow. They are in American English and quite extensive.
Weaknesses: Doesn't wash dishes
Summary: I have been cameraphobic, until I got this. It is wonderful, has more options than I could imagine. Picture quality is superb. But best of all, it is easy to use and very easy to learn to use. No need for new batteries or any supplies other than paper. What could be better. I was up and running in less than 30 minutes. It is really easy to share pictures,

Strengths: The picture color and clarity of this Kodak camera is excellent. This camera is very easy to use.
Weaknesses: Battery and external memory compartment lids are flimsy.
Summary: This is my first digital camera and what can I say but that I have been missing out on much better clarity and color pictures than my 35MM camera. If you want a camera that is loaded with features and makes excellent pictures at 3.1mp and cost less than $170.00 I suggest you check this camera out. If you purchase this camera be sure and get extra memory card and the docking station.

Strengths: good quality pictures, look as good as my 35 mm film pictures, easy to use, fun software.
Weaknesses: none
Summary: I just recently recieved this as an early x-mas gift and I've been having so much fun with it. I love how easy it is to use and the pictures are excellent color and quality, everyone I show them to agrees. I have 3 kids so I'm always taking tons of pictures and to be able to print just the ones I want is great.

Strengths: *Takes a pretty good close-up
*Has sound for video
*Optical zoom
*Idiot-proof downloads to PC
*Can see pictures/video in Real Time
Weaknesses: *Came with dirt inside viewfinder
*Eats batteries like no tomorrow
*Parts such as USB port covers are flimsy and not for hamfists
Summary: I used the pictures I took with this camera, 30 minutes after getting it, to sell an item eBay. I doubled the price over a previous auction for exactly the same kind of item 6 months earlier, part of which I attribute to the nice close-ups this time.
I had to send it back for the dirt inside, but Kodak had it back shortly. I had to complain afterwards, but they did send me enough freebies that I can't complain now (even if these include photo paper I can't use).
Not the best, but good enough for the casual user and the price is right.

Strengths: Simple to use. Great clarity. Big, bright screen.
Weaknesses: short battery life, but ok with rechargable batteries.
Summary: This is a great easy use camera. Sure, others may do more, but for the price, there is none better. A friend of mine recently bought a Sony for $100.00 more than I spent, and it's not measurably better than this one.

Strengths: This is a great camera for the beginner. The pictures are nice and crisp when printed out.
Weaknesses: The 16 mb memory is not sufficient to get the full benefit of a digital camera.When you take a picture in the dark, you cannot see the person or object clearly,but picture is great anyway.
Summary: This is a great camera, I like it very much. I purchased more memory, but I shopped around myself for the best price. I am not good at taking pictures, but my pictures are really good. The night vision mode is great. I was able to take pictures at night time with no problem. Also, the pictures are very, very clear. I am having a lot of fund with this camera.
