For the most part this is a fine digital camera. I purchased one via amazon for my wife 6 months ago, and my daughter asked for one for her birthday. We are very happy with this and it does everything we would like it to.

ONE WARNING - the directions of this camera make it clear that one MUST use LITHIUM batteries, yet Kodak includes within the box a free pair of ALKALINE batteries. Trying to use these incorrect batteries causes the photo lens cover to freeze up...remain closed after only a brief use. For those unaware, it takes the frustration of getting ahold of the invoie and contacting Kodak about the problem.

Do yourself a favor...should you want to buy this camera..and it is a good one...also purchase LITHIUM batteries!

Todays digital amateurs and novices looking for a good camera have a plethora of choices: Huge mega-pixles, techno-savvy features, and then there's the varied prices. Yet the achilles heel of many digital cameras is they accel in some aspects, but disappoint in others. The Kodak C330 and its Kodak kin are spot-on in all three aspects. Specifically, the Kodak C330 is the Swiss army knife of digital photography.

I have used Kodak digital cameras before and was impressed early with their ease of use, large screen, unimcumbered layout, and easy to use 'EasyShare' software. I shopped for Canon, Nikon, and Pentax cameras to get a sense of what features and prices I could expect. The Kodak C330 and kin first impressed me with their simple layout; big buttons, not those that resemble small cell-phone buttons. Second, the big and bright screen size made it easy to see the picture I took, even in direct sunlight. The simple menu on the camera made the learning curve short, thus giving me an out-of-the-box experience. It uses either SD or MMC cards for additional memory. I suggest going with SD memory as they hold more memory than the older MMC and are now fairly inexpensive. The zoom lens works efficiently and the zoom controls are a cinch to use. Another user-only discovery: The battery life in these cameras is amazingly long! Finally the EasyShare software was a joy to use: Simple and intuitive for both amateurs and novices alike: I easily maneuvered between taking Color,B&W, and Sepia pictures. Transferring pictures from camera to PC was very quick!

The only dissappointment was with the Kodak Retinar lens. I wish Kodak would have instead used their German Schneider-Kreutznach lens it uses in their upper cameras. The Schneider-Kreutznach lenses are superior to many, if not all the lenses I have seen in and on digital cameras. Likewise, please be forewarned of cheap digital cameras that use inferior lenses. I have learned that while some cameras are feature-laden with techno-gizmos, this sometimes conceals a inferior lens. After all, no feature on any camera is more tangible than the lens itself.

The Kodak C330 is a great camera for those interested in digital photography and don't want to spend a fortune. You ought to consider this little Swiss Army knife of a camera. It will not disspoint!

My husband bought this camera with the printer dock from Walmart for my birthday because I hated our polaroid digital camera. I love it! The camera and the printer are so easy to use. I pretty much figured the camera and the printer out the first day without reading the instruction manual. The prints are amazing, whether you print directly from the camera or from your PC. I just ordered a 256MB memory card because I just can't take enough pictures. The 16MB internal memory was okay in the beginning but I find myself transferring pictures to my computer way too often. I would recommend buying the Camera w/the printer dock because not only will it save you about $50 when you buy the bundle but think about how much you would spend having someone else develop kodak quality prints for you. The prints look like they came straight out of a photo processing center.

the c330 is a wonderful camera and i would advice anyone to buy it ,so far ive taken some good pics and if ur using xp you dont even need the cd that it comes with.the one draw back is the screen could have been bigger its only 1.5 inches

I have to say this is a great camera, especially for someone that doesn't have a lot of experience. Kodak goes out of it's way to make this as user friendly as it can. The dial on top allows you to pick what type of setting (normal, scenic, action, etc.) you are going to be taking pictures with, the downloading of pictures to the computer is a snap and if you want to share it with your friends/family online the ease of use to get the pictures to a webpage using ofoto/kodak.com couldn't be easier. It takes very nice quality pictures and with a 512MB SD card can hold well over 600 pictures at 4MP and nearly 30 minutes of video. The video quality was much better than I anticipated although not great and I thought the picture quality was outstanding. I was actually able to make out the individual whiskers on my face after I transferred the picture to my computer and I zoomed in. Also the battery life was excellent on the camera, even with experimenting and transferring and deleting and just generally putzing around they lasted quite awhile.
There are some drawbacks, although it's to be expected for the price, you do need an SD card, the camera can't even take 20 pictures without one so make sure you buy one with the camera. The camera is not going to take rapid fire, pictures. You need to focus on the item for a second with the button partially held down before pushing it in all the way to get a real crisp picture and there is about a 2 second wait before the camera is ready to take another picture. I did get used to that surprisingly quickly even though I thought it was going to make me dislike the camera at 1st. If you just try to take quick pictures one right after the other the quality and focus is off. Once you get the hang of it though. it's a snap but you do have to be prepared to wait a few seconds between pictures. IMHO There are better cameras out there but they are going to cost you quite a bit more from what I found. I think this is a great camera with a lot of nice features for the price, especially for someone that generally doesn't like/get along with electronic devices.

I recently purchased the Kodak Easyshare C330 camera and Series 3 Dock. I was hesitant to purchase a digital camera because I didn't need one more piece of technology to learn. Nothing is as easy as it use to be. However, this camera is just that. It is very user friendly and easy to use.
br /
br /The docking station is nice, but if you have large numbers of photos to print ordering them is still best. The dock prints beautifully and is also very easy. However I can't see using it for more than a photo here or there. It would be too time consuming and costly. Ordering them online through Kodak is only .10 cents per photo with quality Kodak paper and printing.
br /
br /The software that comes with the camera is easy as can be. Insert the disc, follow the prompts and your loaded. I was emailing photos within an hour, it was that easy. Honesty, I purchased the dock because I thought the software wouldn't be user friendly. We have all purchased software that says it is but is anything but easy. Kodak's however was very easy. This is a great camera for beginners or people who want the digital quality and the ease of use, not to mention the ability to email photos to family and friends.

I was very hesitant to put myself out there again for a digital camera. I'd had a very bad experience with a Sony Cybershot and was very leery to buy another. But we're taking a family vacation next week, and I didn't want to go back to the stone age of picture taking. My sister has a Kodak so I decided to use that one.

I'm very impressed! I've only had it for a week, and have not yet put it through the paces of picture taking...just a few here and there. The real test will be out on the road. So far so good. Even set to the lowest setting for pictures, (1 mega pixel...I think...I'm not too hip on the whole technical terminology) the pictures are huge, and very clear.

We bought the rechargeable battery pack and a memory card, and I can get 885 pictures out of it! I'm very impressed. It's not the fastest shutter speed I've seen, but taking pictures of monuments...they're not going anywhere...

Overall very impressed and will update after the family vacation to tell you all how it held up! I'm definitely going to be a return customer of Kodak!

UPDATE:

Just got it back from vacation and still very impressed. I was shutter happy the whole vacation and still had room to spare. One thing I'd recommend is to get the rechargeable batteries and the pack, it eats through regular batteries faster than drinking water.

It takes good videos and pictures, and it's something I'd definitely recommend to others!

Pros:
Great resolution
good color
modes are easily switched
affordable
AA battery, i.e. fits standard NiMH rechargeable battery
SD card, 512 MB card can hold > 500 pictures

Cons:
high Audio noise during video recording
Little bit bulky

Note: be sure to get AA rechargeable batteries that has > 2000 mA-hr.

I had a Kodak camera before, but found that my needs had exceeded that camera's capacities, so I bought the C330. I LOVE that there are so many modes in which to capture pictures! Along with color, sepia and black-and-white, there are modes for self-portrait, beach, landscape and low-light to name a few. (which works out perfectly since many of the photos I take are in low-light situations or with dodgy ambient light)

Images are so crisp and gorgeous, and for a limited time, Amazon will give you a 256 MB flash card...FREE! I can now take approximately 800+ shots with the flash card installed (even though the camera is 4 megapixels, I always shoot at 1.1 megapixels - I don't need to have my images at 11 X 17, for pete's sake!)

This is a wonderful camera for a great price. Definitely recommended.

i just bought this camera a few hours ago and i already love it
it takes great low light photos, and so far has a good battery life. i love everything about it except for the fact that it saves videos as .mov files but that is ok because it comes with quick time. i did however have trouble with the software. i spent 30-45 minutes and still didn't get the software installed on my computer which makes no sense because the same software is installed on the family computer which is almost the exact same computer except for the internet connection. i wound up just using the camera wizard that comes with win xp. so if the software doesn't work on your pc just use that. for $150 it is one of the best cameras i've ever had. which is not saying much because the other ones cost less than $60 but still it is one heck of a camera and if you r a 14 year old like me your gonna love it. one more con: the power wheel spins when you pull it out of your pocket. be sure to check out the sample photos i sent in, those were taken in the evening and look better than my natural vision

I got one of these for my pre-teen for a gift. Low price and it was a name brand. This thing takes EXCELLENT PICTURES ---even when it's a gaggle of birthday party giggly-girlies shooting it for the first time!

I was so amazed at this camera that I crossed the $[...]+ Sony camera off my wish list and put this on instead. I don't think you could possibly go wrong with this camera or one of the models similar to this in the Kodak Easyshare.

Price, quality and ease of use are all the top things to look for in a digital still camera and this little guy has it all.

Forget higher megapixels - most people don't need them. Forget the docking station - ditto. Grab the camera and some rechargable batteries or alkaline and a smaller capacity extra memory card (unlikely that you'll need the more expensive one) and you are good to go for a low,low price!

i just bought this camera and it is great. i bought a 1GB memory card with this camera. on the highest quality mode it holds 1254 pitchurs and on lowest qualily it holds 3656 pitchures. Yes those numbers are right, or it holds 55 minutes of solid video with sound, same quality as a video camera. The only problem have which is really small i cant get it to play sound when i play the video back on the camera. If anyone out there knows how to make it play sound on the camera or if it is even made to do that, please email me at chane_vandenburg@yahoo.com
Great camera for the price though.

This camera is the best value in this class hands down. It's so easy to operate, I love all the features, and it takes the best pictures, pictures as good as cameras costing much more. All I can say is you can't go wrong with this camera, price, quality of photos, and I have owned simalar cameras that just can't match this one. Buy this camera.

This camera was a gift for my teenage son. It is easy to use, takes great pictures, and he really loves it!

As always, Amazon shipped it promptly, and we got it in time for Christmas last year.

I purchased this camera for my 14 year old for Christmas 2005 and what a purchase this was. It was her favorite gift last Christmas and it took great photos and mini movies. We also purchased a 1 gb memory card to go with it and I can't say enough about the
easy handling, great pictures and awesome short movies this inexpensive camera can take. When I say
inexpensive I mean for what this camera can do, it's well worth the money.

Unfortunately her camera was stolen from her at a high school sponsored dance last night and she was devastated.

If this camera does not turn up, I will be purchasing another one for her, for her 15th birthday coming in September. That's how much this camera is worth it.
It's just the right size and quality for a 15 year old and
older.

No complaints on this camera at all.

The Kodak C330 camera is a compact, feature packed digital camera. With several preset modes the camera is capable of producing good results under all sorts of lighting conditions. Modes include Macro, landscape and portrait. Just select the mode that best fits your subject and your all set. Although the camera has an automatic setting you are still able to manually overide settings such as EV (exposure value) and ISO speed. Handy for experimenting. I like the fact that C330's firmware can be upgraded from a download on the internet, this can help correct any bugs and add enhancements. The only drawbacks are that the C330 doesn't have a battery status indicator, however, a battery icon will pop up when the batteries are just about to quit. Also it would be nice to see a numeric zoom factor reading on the LCD. Instead there is a simple vertical line marked "w","t" and "d". There is also an AC adapter jack on the camera for charging NiMH batteries. I tried the C330 under several different lighting conditions and the camera did it's best to reproduce the scenes. Color saturation is excellent. Under daylight and with the flash indoors the C330 produces vivid, rich colors. The menu navigation is easy to use and learn as well. Sharing pictures is easy (hence the name) just press the red "share" button and follow the menu prompts. The camera intergrates well with the Easyshare computer software and works very smoothly with any Pictbridge capable printer. Overall the C330 is easy to use, a good price and a produces great results.

I had my eye on a $400 sony digital because I need to upgrade desperately from an older Sony (which I love). After buying this camera for my 9 year old, I was so impressed with it that I'm going to save a bundle and get one for myself! I am high volume photo so I'm very picky. Great camera, great price. You will need extra memory but the 256mb should be fine for most users.

This camera is one of the best camera I see on the market for that price. I bought this camera about a month ago and it took some great pictures. This camera eat batteries alot, so get rechargeable at least 2100mAh.

When my daughter was born, my old digital camera died via the reformatted memory card problem normal to its brand. This Kodak camera looked to be the best purchase decision based on features versus price.

I have not been disappointed. An excellent interface allows you to quickly and easily find the kind of photo you need to take. The customizable settings give you the option of tweaking those presets to fit your needs. The pictures I've taken have exceeded my expectations for a 4 megapixel camera. Some 5+ megapixels cameras can't even match the quality at times. The size of the camera is also nice: not small enough to get lost and not too large as to be bulky. The optical zoom (or physical zoom) is great and can be enhanced by the digital zoom. Overall, a fine value and a fine product. Recommended.

The prices are even lower than when I purchased this a year ago. Grab one today.

I bought this camera after my Older HP wasn't cutting it anymore. And I'm very glad I went with Kodak. The Picture quality is very good in any MP Mode. The picture modes are also very helpful in taking beautiful pictures. It's very compact (fits in my pocket) , and it starts up and is ready to go very quickly. I would recomend this camera to any novice photographer and even advanced ones who don't have the money to buy a expensive profesional camera. Great Buy.

This camera is unbelieveable! It takes much better pictures than my Cannon Powershot, which was much more expensive too. It's very user-friendly, and the pictures come out crystal clear - even the closeups. I am shocked by the quality of the pictures based this camera's price, which is very reasonable. You need this camera - you won't be disappointed! :)

This is my 2nd Easy Share Camera. I would still be using the 1st(2 years old) but the zoom button came off. Kodak changed the design of the zoom button, making it smaller and stronger, so I purchased this updated model. These cameras are so easy to use, with great picture quality. Their software is also easy to use to enhance your prints, crop them etc. The recovery time for flashes is instant unlike other, more expensive, cameras my friends have.

Love it. Easy to use and makes good quality pictures.

I love this camera so much! I bought this camera in hopes to improve the quality of my art photography, and for such a small price I am stunned by it's quality. People who have viewed my art in the past have commented on how great my pictures have improved with this camera. And the features on it are beautiful. Every picture is so unique with all the functions for each picture. It's my favorite camera I've owned so far, and at this price, I know I've made the right choice. It's so easy to use, and the software it comes with is wonderful, and gives so many photo enhancing options as well!

I don't think that the reviews are very accurate. I think they are misleading and am not certain that everyone writing a review has actually used this camera or has much photography experience. I have had this camera for about 6 months and have used it to take pictures of my children mostly but used it for other shots as well. My biggest complaint is that you can't take action photos. There is a lag time between when you click the switch to take a picture and when the shutter engages. It takes about 1-2 seconds and anything in motion is out of the frame by that time. Please tell me if I am doing something wrong but this is my experience. It eats batteries and when the battery finally dies the camera gets stuck with the lense out and you cant retract it. I think it takes good pictures. I hate the software and you can't interface the camera with the computer any other way but the bundled software. It is not a bad camera but if you want to take action photos and don't want to buy batteries buy another camera.

I am very happy with this camera. The price is right, and the features are just right for amateur/hobby photography. I have even used the video capture feature and find it quite good. My only criticism for this camera is that the feature selector ring sometimes turns too easily, and the camera turns on accidentally when I slip it in my camera case sleeve.

Been looking for awhile and we tried a polaroid digital first. Although it could take a decent picture you certainly couldn't depend on it. It just wasn't likely to give you what you wanted. After that I really wanted to go with an olympus or nikon but they were missing features such as video w/ sound or standard memory card interface in the sub $200 cameras. I was just looking to do snapshots and didn't want to relearn all the photo info I used to know. I must admit its a heck of a camera. Here are the pluses:

Long battery life using included niMh. (maybe 100 pix or so)
Very good auto mode. (Usually takes a decent shot)
Standard SD Memory (That killed off the olympus and sony for me)
Good MPixels for the price
Good size (Smaller would be nice but thats another $100)
Only name brand in price range to do decent video w/ sound
Easy for the whole family to use

The downside:
Absolutly irritating software.
Terrible with alkaline batteries (

I was looking for a digital camera that was inexpensive but still gave decent results, and this Kodak EasyShare fit both criteria. I was replacing a much more technical (and expensive) Fujifilm camera, which broke once too often. This little, light Kodak is all that most people would want in an everyday camera. It reminds me of the simple, fun camera from the "open me first" days of Kodak.

I purchased this camera to carry around with me in my handbag. However, I received a camera that is small enough to carry around and takes great pictures. I also have a Canon camera that is for more serious photography but I must say this little Kodak is almost a match in the picture quality etc.
The only negative thing is the fact that it goes through batteries like crazy (approximately after every 75 - 100 pictures)

I had a Kodak CX7430 but it was stolen. I loved that camera. I found this replacement and was very pleased with the result. This camera is even better than the old I had. Keep up the good work Kodak. I have recommended this camera to all my family and friends.

This Kodak C330 is my first digital camera. It has so many different picture options, which are ALL ....SO EASY to use. I love the cropping option.....after you take a picture, you can crop it and save it. Anyway, I can not say enough about this great little camera. ENJOY!

I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong, because for some reason I just CAN'T get a picture to come out clear with this camera. Apparently it's me, and not the camera itself, because many reviews here say the pictures come out nice and clear. But even if I'm sitting perfectly still, taking a picture of something that's also perfectly still- the picture still comes out fuzzy. I have to resize it to be much smaller to get it to look decent. But I'm assuming this is something I'm doing wrong, since so many people have praised the picture quality.

Other than that problem, this has been a great camera for as long as I've owned it. I took it to summer camp, and it managed to survive hiking, canoeing, and the bus ride there and back without any harm. The batteries did run out several times on the trip- the screen seems to suck up batteries like crazy. The pictures (once I resized them to get rid of fuzziness) were great and the video feature was surprisingly good as well. Also I was surprised at how many pictures I could take with the memory card- I didn't even come close to filling it up, on a week-long camping trip. Overall a good camera- although I wish I knew what I was doing wrong to make the pictures all so fuzzy....

I love it. This replaced my other stolen camera and it works great as well as easy to manage. Just don't hear the video sounds.

This was purchased for a friend who is just starting in digital. Easy to use and takes decent pictures. A good choice for the price for a novice.

Bought this camera for my 8 year old daughter for Christmas. Both she and I find it very easy to take pictures, and get them developed. The quality of pictures is also good.

I just want to take nice decent pictures.

This is a great camera! It is easy to use and its size makes it convenient to carry around.

great camera with memory card lots of photos. loss of battery power the only negative

I just recieved this camera yesterday and love everything about it except for the video. The product information made the claim that it also captured audio with the clip, but I have been unable to make this work. I have tried to get the sound to play when I review a video clip and get nothing. Has anyone else had this problem?
Other than that, this is he best camera I have ever owned - many times better than my last SLR.

I bought this Kodak camera at a great sale price (it was bundled with the printer dock too) and got rid of my old, large, slower (but dependable) HP digital camera that I had owned for years. The Kodak had all of the features I was looking for in a new camera. I almost felt it was too simple to use until I discovered you could turn off all of the display icons & messages. For a week and a day I used it to take a few pictures inside and out plus a short video. Then after just taking a picture the lens wouldn't go back in when I turned the camera off. Finally it did slowly go back in but when I turned it back on, I received an lens error message 14 and the lens didn't come back out. I tried everything in the manual, charged the batteries and even put in new Kodak camera batteries plus called customer support (who wasn't totally helpful) but the camera was dead. I was very disappointed that this camera only lasted a little over a week so I returned it for a refund. I'm not sure if I want to try another Kodak easyshare camera since they all seem to be basically the same model type. Perhaps I should go back to a HP camera again.

Bought this camera earlier this year, and it's been nothing but trouble. Despite several adjustments and support from Kodak, I cannot take a decent photo for the life of me.

Colors are always off and are never true to life, and you can almost rely on your photos being slightly blurry and out of focus.

The loading dock is convenient and innovative, but not when Kodak's software crashes (which is often).

I've used multiple digital cameras (namely Fuji and HP), and compared to them, the Kodak c330 is simply awful.

I received it sooner then expected. Knowing I paid under 100.00 I wasn't expecting much. But what I got was fantastic. easy to use(even for a electronic idiot like myself), great pic's for the money.

I bought this camera a little over a month ago after selling my previous Canon Powershot A80. Compared to the Canon, this camera is terrible. It takes mediocre pictures that are usually washed out and the white balance is just flat out bad. I sincerely wish I did not sell my last camera, as it was in such good condition. I do plan to get rid of this camera, and buy a new one... Fast.
If you are looking for a good, compact camera, Canon, Sony Cybershots, and Fujis are good choices. Kodaks just don't come through with good pictures, at all.
The battery life is also terrible. I used rechargable batteries, and they still only lasted about an hour and I was only able to take a few pictures with then having to delete most of them.
This camera is not worth the money at all, I suggest that anyone who is looking at this camera keep looking.

Inexpensive and nice quality photos. Although I like my HP R607 better cause it's rechargeable.

The problems were in the following areas compared to the Olympus FE-100

1) Exposure accuracy missing sometimes.
2) Over-saturated colors.
3) Non-accurate white balance on many occasions.
4) Color accuracy not quite there - yellow standstone building can land up looking whitish presumably because of white balance problems. Same scene shot with an FE-100 looks perfect.
5) Lens not as sharp as the FE-100 lens

Both the FE-100 and c330 have been purchased in my family and I have used both very extensively. For picture quality - I'll go for the FE100 in a heartbeat.

Camera features & setup are very poorly designed. System electronics always going haywire. Consumes AA batteries like a fiend. Pictures always come out blurry. I took couple dozen pictures with this and returned it immediately.

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 on some computers running Windows XP. 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?

I bought this camera in December of 2005 for a family gift. After reading all the reviews on this and other cameras, I was very excited about having a camera that would take great pictures, per the reviews. Oh...it does take good pictures...but I can not get the pictures off the camera. From the very first, we had problems with the software, which is a real pain to get to work right. I transfered 4 pictures to my computer and those are the last pictures we have been able to get off the camera. We even installed the software to another computer and it still won't work. First it identifies the camera, then it says "camera can't be found". Since the camera seems to working properly, it now appears that the USB cable is bad. I have contacted Kodak, furnished them my receipt, and requested a new cable. They advise that there is not a problem with the cable and....get this...the cable is NOT covered by the warranty. If I want, they will be happy to ship me another, once I pay [...]. So, either I buy another cable...which at this date is only 6 months old and never worked properly to start with...or purchase another camera. I now have a camera that takes great pictures but does me no good. If you are thinking about buying this camera....think long and hard. It's not worth the money and Kodak does not stand behind their product. This is the last Kodak product I will buy.

I've been reading the other reviews of this camera and honestly I don't know where all the praise is coming from. When you view photos on the computer it is very misleading because they look fine. Once they are developed you will notice that the pictures come out blurry and the color is off. Some colors are so bright it just doesn't look right. Secondly, the developed photo covers a smaller area than the computer photo. For me I think the picture is centered until it is developed and I notice someone's head is cut off or something. Again, it looked fine on the computer. Red-eye galore, and the date stamp is huge and a distraction to the picture. Needless to say, I am disappointed.

OK, MY MOM AND DAD JUST bought this camera. Worked fine!!! Until one day my dad turns it on pushes the button to take a picture..... goes blank, nothin!! We do not know what to do!! someone else sayed the same thing!! sorry kodak but i trust the camera any more.

How can you rate a product, which often turns out to be dead right when you have a great shot? It is very unreliable in the sense that it gobbles up batteries. It happened to me so many times that my camera has run out of batteries when I want to take pictures! Carry around a stock of batteries when you use this thing. I would recommend taking batteries out after each use.
