Very Pleased.......2005-10-26

I have had the Kodak CX4230 for over 3 years. I have had no problem with the camera or the dock. The camera takes great pictures and the sofwear is easy to use. If there a problem. There nothing wrong with camera only as good as the person using it.

Why exactly do we need the docking station?.......2004-07-28

I bought this camera last year and I have not been happy with the results. First the camera (not the user) decides wheather it's going to use the internal or the memory card on any given day. The only way I could get my pictures to save on the memory card is if I hit the side of the camera a few times. Let's just say I misses many of those precious "kodak moments" fooling around with this tempermental camera. The why exactly do we need a docking station? My so-called "charged battery" lasts for a maximum of two hours. We can "easily" transfer the pictures my sticking the memory card in the computer. Once again I think the whole docking station idea is a way for kodak to make consumers think we need to buy yet another accessory to make everything "easy." Most of the pictures I have taken have came out way too dark- even after I changed the flash settings. The camera is getting serviced as we speak to lets see what happens~

Good from far...but far from good.......2004-05-23

I wanted a simple to use camera to take snapshots of the kids around the house. I did not care about printing photos, just wanted to email pics to family and friends. Out of the box, the camera has some cool features such as auto-orientation and the menu is not too hard to navigate. The Kodak software makes the storage and manipulation of the pictures easy, but getting the pictures from the camera to the PC is not so fun. About 75% of the time I have a problem with transferring pictures. Usually a reboot and a disconnect/reconnect of the camera does the trick. I took the camera back after a few weeks and they gave me a replacement and there was no difference. The other part that they do not tell you is that you need to use a SecureDisk card to hold the pictures to make the camera function somewhat normal. Do not rely on the internal memory.

Last night I returned from a trip to Florida with the family and lost over half of the pictures. Hence I am writing this review to warn any future buyers of this camera. There are so many newer/better cameras out there now, I would not recommend purchasing this camera at all.

My Little Buddy.......2004-03-07

I don't know about you users out there who are having problems with your CX4230, but me and mine spend countless hours together and the only hitch we've had has been that it was dropped a couple of times.
I've had this camera (and the same batteries) for more than a year now and have had nothing but fun with it. The only reason I give it four stars, is because there isn't a skin (like a cell phone skin) available for it. I'm not too crazy about the camera pouches that are available. But hey, I'm going to give in and get one anyway.
Okay, so the docking station isn't the best of creations from Kodak, but I believe they'll fix that sooner or later. But I don't have to "hit" the camera. Maybe a jiggle once in a while, but that's it. And that is so infrequent that it doesn't affect my love for the whole shebang.
I enjoy this camera. So much so, that when my employer requested that I reasearch and find him a digital camera, I went right to Kodak for the answer and the product. Needless to say that now he is a happy camper with his 5MP Kodak.
Honestly, I would like to get my hands on a more professional quality camera. But that is because I enjoy the feel of the larger format cameras (you know, the big and heavy 35mm type?), but that is in the future, and would only serve for taking those truly professional looking pictures. Everything else is done with my little buddy - the Kodak CX4230.

Connectuon Problems.......2003-09-27

This camera works for three months and then ceases to fully cooperate.
It stopped transfering pictures tellin me there is no device present.I concluded it was a power supply issue. And after reading some reviews, I know now that i am correct.
I dont feel like having to buy more batteries, and by the looks of the other reviews, I know what I have to expect in the future: More Problems
