Kodak Easyshare CX7430 4 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom

The camera is exactly as the seller described. I couldn't get it to work at first but that was because of my ignorance about it needing a lesser gb memory card than I was trying to use. I was trying to use an 8gb adn evidently it will only use a 2gb. Now that I have the right one, it works fine. If my dealings with the man I bought it from is any example, he is honest and a nice person and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again.

I have had a camera exactly like the one I ordered. The first one was the best. Used just regular alkaline rechargeable batteries and was very reliable. I was never conscious of trying to not use this not use that. Take the batteries out when not using the camera, not use the large view finder because it would drain the battery down. The only reason I needed to replace the one I had for 6 years was because a color sensor went out on it and pictures were pink! So I ordered another one Just like the one I had and it is so picky about the batteries I use in it. I have had to buy several batteries trying to find one that will last a bit longer. I can't use it like the other cameral because it uses up the battery life. I now have the lithium battery that is recommended for this camera in the manual. So far it is allowing the camera to work when I need it. But why is it so different from my other one that is the exact same make model, year? Go figure. It is too complicated to try and find another camera like this that I would like. The others have draw-backs as well.

I like this camera so much, I bought a used one after mine broke after it was dropped. The CX7430 was the first digital camera I bought (my 35mm died right before vacation in 2003 and I needed an easy-to-use point-and-shoot). This camera fit the bill....it's easy to use and takes great pictures. The only issues I've encountered are: (1) battery life is short (but increases if you turn off the LCD screen and use the viewfinder) (2) camera often "freezes up" and won't open in cold weather.

I ordered this item quite some time ago but never inspected it until today (5-30-2013). It came with no directions, no usb cord, nothing except the bubble wrap in a white box. Today is my graduation from Medical Secretary School and I took it out to use it, however to my suprise, there are already 20 photo's of a family having a cook out or some type of an outting. Also, on the side of the camera are red letters "NAU". Probably from the previous owner. I have tried several USB cords and none will fit. It has an odd shaped octagon USB site. It's too late to return the product so what can be done about it? I have been a loyal customer of Amazon for a long time.

I can't say enough good things about this camera. I upgraded to this after owning a very low-end model that took abismal pictures, so I have something to compare it to.The battery life on the 7430 is fantastic, I bought this around Christmas and after a lot of use just changed the batteries for the first time. The pictures are crystal clear, very high quality. The flash is very adequate and my indoor nighttime pics look great.The delay of the shutter is very short, which is important to me with a toddler running around. This was a big problem with my old camera and the 7430 is really fast.The video feature is also great. It isn't digital camcorder quality of course, but with my 256 card I got some great footage.This camera is also very easy to use and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Takes OK pictures. Fair amount of noise. Not a big fan of the interface (clunky and non-intuitive). Slow to turn on and shut off. Macro setting not great. But for $25 I'm totally satisfied/

My daughter bought us this camera for Christmas I don't now how many years ago, and it is my all-time favorite! We went to Alaska with friends that had very expensive cameras and considered themselves pretty good photographers, and they wanted copies of OUR pix taken on the 'little Kodak camera":) Also it is one of the cheapest (price wise) cameras with an actual viewfinder. That is why my pix are so good; I can actually compose the picture not like on our more expensive camera which has no view finder, only the screen which is so hard to use for composition because of the reflective light. They are actually making light-blocking sleeves for the screen-only cameras--maybe someone will figure out they need to make affordable cameras WITH viewfinders........................

It's a good camera to start a kid or grandma using a digital camera, however it runs on batteries and pictures can only be printed by taking the SD to a photo printout station at Walmart or other stores.
