Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Kodak CX4230 EasyShare digital camera was designed for people who love to share great-looking pictures simply. With superb color and exposure capabilities and a premium-quality lens, you'll always have crisp, sharp, colorful pictures. The on-camera Share button, and software with one-touch photo printing and organizing, means that prints and e-mails are only one step away.

The 2-megapixel CX4230 is rich with features that deliver quality pictures you'll want to share. The Kodak Retinar all-glass lens with 6x zoom gives crisp, clean close-ups. Auto white balance and exposure with matrix metering means even poorly lit pictures look great. And Kodak color science provides impeccable color prints up to 8 by 10 inches.

The Share button enables you to tag pictures right on the camera so when you dock the CX4230, they're automatically ready to print or e-mail. Select the camera's Print button and you're just one step from easy photo prints. And for e-mailing your pictures, you can store up to 32 addresses in the camera.

When it's time to transfer your pictures to your computer, connect the included USB cable to your computer, or do it with just one touch using the optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock.

The CX4230 features an internal 16 MB memory, as well as a slot for optional MultiMedia (MMC) and Secure Digital (SD) cards. It's powered by a CR-V3 lithium battery (included) or optional NiMH rechargeable batteries that are charged by the optional EasyShare dock. It comes with EasyShare software for both Windows (98, 2000, Me, or XP) and Mac (OS 8.6 or higher), USB and video-out cables, and wrist strap.

great camera, little price. CX4230 uses very affordable, widely available multimedia cards for storage and also has 16mb of internal memory! excellent quality photos, easy software, good battery life. Share idea is brilliant! (you take a picture, and immediately can tag it for emailing your friends...holds 32 email addresses in camera!)

4.0 out of 5 stars A great camera for the price, March 26, 2003

.... I've never used the Kodak software, I use a memory card reader, it's faster and doesn't use the camera batteries or rely on an expensive camera dock to transfer images to the PC. I certainly wouldn't have bought it without reading what type of memory card is uses, which ARE, ...., available from many 3rd party manufacturers and they're only moderately more expensive than other types of cards. All non-SLR digital cameras have a delay in between pressing the shutter button and the taking of the picture, the delay of this camera is no better or worse (around 1 second) than any other.
The few drawbacks/complaints I have about the camera are;
Flimsy doors, especially the door over the memory card slot, it
feels as if it could be easily broken if special care is not taken
when removing or reinserting the memory card.
Plastic camera body, while my AE-1 has been flung off cliffs
and sunk in rapids I fear that a drop from almost any height
would cause significant damage to this camera.
Poor placement of the 'camera ready/camera status' light. It's
right next to the optical viewfinder and can interfere with taking
pictures in low light situations because of it's brightness.
Slow shutter speed of 1/8th sec. isn't very slow. A full second
would have been a nice addition.

All in all this is a great camera for the price, it takes good
pictures, comes with decent features and is almost completely
idiot proof. It's not a professional camera but great for someone
who's interest in getting started with digital photography and
small enough to take with you anytime (I don't leave the house
without mine.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use camera, January 20, 2003

I bought this camera with the easy share dock. It is so easy to use and good quality pictures. With the software any poor pictures can be corrected. I had a Sony digital camera which was much harder to use. This camera with the dock is made for the novice user. I have windows ME and I ran the CD software and was downloading pictures within 5 minutes with one button to push. Love it and will use the heck out of it. Would advise anyone to get this and the dock. For the money, the camera takes good pictures and with extra memory can hold lots of pictures. I have 64 memory which holds 72 pictures plus the internal memory can hold 23 I believe.
