Opinion: It doesn’t have a lot of feature but all you need is there. The design is good and the camera is not too heavy. The flash is very weak but the camera takes beautiful pictures with a longer exposure.

It might look like a camera which is only designed for beginners but I can tell you that the image quality is surprisingly good! You won’t believe the stunning colours and sharpness of your landscape pictures. It will beat for sure many pictures by cameras which are considered to be more professional than this Kodak.

Opinion: The cx7430 is a good entry-level family digital camera.
It has actually been just barely good enough to give us a start in the world of stock photography.
Most of the pictures at http://www.picsofmaine.com/ were taken with this camera.
Especially after April '06, most of these pics probably will be slowly pushed aside & replaced by pics from higher quality cams.

Problems: None. Video clips tend to be pretty grainy but for the price of this camera we can't complain.

Opinion: This is the first digital carmera I've ever owned. That being stated it's been a pleasure using this camera and has given me the bug so to speak to take up the hobby of photography. The CX7430 is a wonderful camera for a beginner or maybe some one just wanting a point and shoot camera. The docking station is a breeze to get your pictures down loaded into your pc.

Problems: Some focusing issues. The flash doesn't seem to go to far either. Slow start up...

Opinion: The camera is easy to use and quite well made. It gives good results when shooting subjects which are not far away . The lens seems to be good at wide angle but average at tele position. I am however very desapointed by the results obtained when I take a pictures of a landscape . Most of the details are lost at the back. Obviously the compression and/ or the noise correction system is making a bad job. It is even worse when the camera is set to 200 or 400 Iso .
In comparaison an older Nikon coolpix 3100 gives much more acceptable pictures without all the artefacts observed with this Kodak 4mega pixels. I do not like this camera . I would certainly not buy one again

Problems: It is not possible to keep any of the specific settings .Everything returns to the standard values at switch off. Frustrating

Opinion: I was looking for a good and reasonably quick "point and shoot" camera and this one defenitly defines that status. You can easily pick it out of your pocket ,choose the right "preset" mode on the dial and shoot right off there and the pictures becomes stunningly great from use like that. If anything the picture quality in macro is not as edge sharp as i would like it to be but this camera is the one for you who wants just what i stated first here !

Best value for the money without a doubt for a 4Mpix camera with auto functions you can rely GOOD on for point and shoot photography !

In fast shutter mode (called sports) i caught my cockatiel flying at full speed and the wings were point sharp even though he flew really really fast ! Pic got great !

Feels really solid. You really need to bang it to break it i think.

Problems: None yet.
