Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Kodak CX4230 EasyShare digital camera was designed for people who love to easily share great-looking pictures. 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. This version of the CX4230 also comes with the Kodak EasyShare Camera Dock II.

The 2-megapixel CX4230 is rich with features that deliver quality pictures you'll want to share. The Kodak Retinar all-glass lens with its 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 included Kodak EasyShare camera dock.

The CX4230 features an internal 16 MB memory, as well as a slot for optional MultiMediaCard (MMC) and Secure Digital (SD) cards. It's powered by 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Camera, April 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare CX4230 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom and Docking Station (Electronics)

This is a really great little camera. Our first digital. Looked at several 2.0 meg camera's. Really liked the features of the Kodak 4230 w\docking station. Basically you just point and shoot; and with the docking station there are no cables or wires to hook up every time you want to download your pictures from your camera to you computer. You just set the camera in the docking station and press the share button and everthing else is done for you. I am using Win ME and the bundled software works very nice. It's so easy to use. It enables you to send pictures to family and friends with just typing in, both email addresses and pressing the button. Very simple!
Picture quality is very good. And how cool to take pictures and get them on your computer just that quick is a real plus for us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, December 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare CX4230 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom and Docking Station (Electronics)

This is my first digital camera and I was a little nervous getting started. However, the instructions were easy to follow-I was editing photos around 2 hours after unpacking,installing, and following directions(which is good for a novice:) There is a great website for reference and I could use the photo system installed on my computer (Photo Studio). Photos can be edited to black and white and sepia (cool effects)from Kodak software included. Does not come with carrying case but does have batteries-you'll need a memory card and I'd recommend getting the camera dock II.

1.0 out of 5 stars Windows XP Problem, January 13, 2003

A Customer "acustomer2" (Malibu, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare CX4230 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom and Docking Station (Electronics)

I have a different model Kodak camera, however they all use the same EasyShare software. Running Windows XP, I could not get the software to work properly. After several hours on the phone with Kodak tech support, they couldn't get it working either. They said they are aware of the problem. It is now several weeks later and they still don't have a fix. They don't really seem to care either.

It might not be a bad idea to consider other brands, instead of Kodak. Since, if the software won't work properly, then what good is the camera?
