This was the first digital camera I every bought and I still love it. I just bought my second more high tech digital but nothing beats the simple easy pictures these take. I took pictures at a wedding this summer and got better pictures than the professional with this LS743!!
This camera takes the fastest pictures, everyone is always so amazed! I love the battery also, it is way better than having to recharge AA, lithium last way longer.
Also a great party camera, this was dropped plenty of times in my highschool days and is still taking great pictures to this day!
Highly recommended!

I got this camera over a year ago, and my dad had it before that. With two years of use, it has a two miniscule scratches on the screen. It has been dropped more times then I can count, and is still in perfect order. As a teenager who loves photography, I get alittle wild about where I take my camera. It has survived EVERYTHING. The pictures are wonderful close up, and are pretty decent of bigger scenes. Although is does not take pictures at night, and moving 50% of moving shots are blurry, I would recommend it to anyone that wants a easy, fun, and reliable camera for all different situations. (P.S I love the rechargable battery, it is amazing)

I purchased this camera when it came out in 2004. I love it! The only complaint (or minor annoyance) is that it is sometimes temperamental when I first turn it on and snaps a shot on its own. Besides for that its been a great camera. We have 3 children and we really use this camera ALL the time. It has been to the beach with us several times, dropped in the sand, dropped on hard floors by the kids, etc., and still no problems. I got my first ever error code yesterday because the lens would not fully retract when I turned the camera off so I simply manually pushed the lens back flush with the front of the camera and when I turned it on again it extracted perfectly and the error code disappeared. If this camera dies tomorrow I will still have no complaints because I know Ive gotten my moneys worth and I have hundreds of beautiful photos to prove it.

I bought two of these cameras and printer docks because it was so easy to learn -- this was my first digital camera. It takes nice pictures without red-eye. The only issue with it is that it takes so long to reset between pictures that the subjects start to walk away after the first shot. Because of that, I am switching to a new camera soon. The Kodak software is good for uploading images to the Kodak website for sharing pictures easily and ordering photos. But, the software tends to be very buggy and takes forever to install and update. The Kodak printer dock makes very nice prints -- when it works. I had to send one of the docks back for repair within the first year. Frequently, the docks are not recognized by my computers.

Wow! What a great camera. I am writing this review almost 2 years after purchasing this product. Since I have bought this product, I know that digital cameras have changed and improved dramatically. Even with that understanding, I LOVE this camera. I originally bought a sony cybershot and spent $200 more than this Kodak camera. After trying to figure out how to take good pictures with the expensive cybershot, I returned the sony and bought the kodak instead.
I am pleased with this camera because it is EASY to use. My wife hates electronics and can still take remarkable pictures with the easy share. After 2 years, I have not even looked at the manual or used the kodak software--thats how easy it is. I use the automatic setting and the camera takes wonderful, colorful, bright and crisp pictures. The video recording aspect is good, but who would buy a digital camera to take videos anyway? It is small enough to fit in your pants pocket, but there are smaller cameras out there. The optical zoom could be a bit better and it takes several seconds to take a repeat picture because the lcd screen is a bit slow to refresh. Even with that said, I probably wont buy another digital camera for another year. When I do, it will be the newest kodak easyshare.

This is a good camera. I like it because it has a metal case versus the plastic ones of most. It takes good pictures from about 7-20 ft if the flash is on. The flash doesnt go that far. Also it takes good close ups if the flash is off. Sometimes it is to dark to not use the flash, but the flash makes everything overexposed at close range. Everything else is fine. The pictures are very good quality and there are tons of features. The videos are large, and they are pretty good quality too. Overall, its a very good product.

...and I really mean it!!
My brother gave me this camera as a belated Christmas gift last year and I love him for it. He searched high and low for this particular camera and after going to 8 different stores, he ended up ordering it from Amazon. I have gotten so many compliments on my pictures. The clarity is just over the top!! Some pictures (the Magic Kindom castle, the cruise ship and the Washington Monument) look like postcards; theyre so crystal clear. I love taking pictures and being able to go home and print as many copies as I want the same day. And I love making little videos and slide presentations to view on my widescreen tv.
Ive directed atleast 4 other people to Amazon to order this camera. I cant say enough about it.
My recommendation, BUY IT, USE IT, ENJOY IT!!! And dont forget to get the printing dock too!!

Ive owned this camera for a year now, and it is my first digital camera. Im pleased with it. You can carry it anywhere and its surprisingly good at wide-range photos of landscapes and buildings as well as group photos at parties and other gatherings.
My only problem with it is the flash: its not very good for inside scenes, unless you are very close to your subject. However, if the room is brightly lit, the photo should be OK. If there is dark furniture or walls, youll get a black background.
Its definitely not good for concerts or stage performances.
There is also a half-second latency which could present problems when trying to photograph sports, races, etc.
Nonetheless, Ive had a lot of fun with this little box. It was especially good at the beach this summer, as well as on some recent road trips through autumn scenery.

I take multiple digital pictures for various purposes regarding the field of architecture and planning. This camera is a great buy, and I am very happy with the quality of the pictures it produces. With a true 4MP image, It produces large enough pictures for my presentations.
When I was searching I wanted a brand that I was familiar with, because I ran into some manufacturers claiming they were selling 5-12 MP cameras for dirt cheap. However, most of these MP calculations were interpoliated, which actually ruins the picture. I am very satisfied with this product!

I didnt want a fancy digital camera with a bunch of bells and whistles that would be utterly wasted on me and just mean more things to break. But I was also kind of camera snob. A Kodak digital camera? I thought I wanted something with more snob appeal. After reading everything I could and going to every store imaginable, I settled on this one. I liked the size, the weight, and the battery situation. I travel overseas a lot and the charger is a lot more reasonable in size than the other cameras I looked at. And its a simple use camera which is exactly what I wanted. I couldnt be happier with my purchase. My pictures are great, the color and clarity outstanding. I liked it so much I bought my mother a different Kodak model with the "grip" shape and she wont put it down. If you want an easy, uncomplicated digital camera without a lot of frou-frou, I recommend this one!!

This is my first digital camera. Although i am a beginner i wanted some manual features to play with so i could learn, this camera has alot of manual features for a entry level camera. If manual features just confuse you, it has lots of auto modes so you dont have to think about it. I snagged this thing at Frys Electronics on sale for $99, yes you read that right. That sale has passed but it might come back again. Anyways the pictures are fantastic, i will post one on this page if you want to look, it will be a flower. The pictures are great, it has video with sound, i love it and recommend it to anyone, especially at my price.
I also bought an extra battery for $20, and a 512mb SD card for $25. (if your not already in love with Frys you should be).

I decided to purchase this camera for my daughter for Christmas. I have been encouraging her to take pictures since she was five, and I was, frankly, tired of buying disposables. Since she is 10, I felt she was old enough to appreciate a camera that she wouldnt abuse, yet would let her share her vision of her world with me. At a little over $200, I wasnt worried if she dropped it in a pool or a toilet; I gave her the camera with the caveat: its yours, treat it with care and make it last.
If you have children (8-15), you know that they are more technically competent than we were at their age; just as we were more technically competent than our parents during our formative years (think TRS-80, Commodore 64...).
My daughter opened the camera, charged the battery, and took digipics within the first 4 hours. Combined with the printer dock, she was printing digipics of Cliff, our cat, Toby, our dog, and a great group digipic (using the timer function and tripod) with no help from me or the instruction manual.
Online services certainly offer more inexpensive per print costs, but how can you compare instant Kodak-quality prints with wait-a-week-save-fifty-cents for slumber parties and last minute science projects.
The LS743 certainly is not the most advanced camera in the world, which is why I rate it 4 stars. However, Kodak has made a camera that is as simple to use as a disposable, and coupled with the printer dock, is a rock-solid introduction to digital photography for your 10 year old daughter or your 70 year old mother.

This is my first digital camera and I received it for Christmas. For it being my first, I like it very much. Havent tried taking many shots outside of the house, but inside, its pretty easy.
Im probably gong to have to buy a memory card, cause I was only able to get about 12 pictures with internal memory.
Overall, I think its great.

I dontknow why people give 5 stars here..
Problems:
Problems starts when I was at wedding party. Every one was takieng pictures but not me !
The cameras focus mechanism simply does not work in low-light conditions.
Poor focus mechanism. very dark pictures in low light conditions. too bright macro pictures..
Of course you can always use night mode, but without tripod pictures will not satisfy you..

I bought this camera through Amazon and received it a day or two before my sister-in-laws wedding. I charged the battery the preceding night, took a ton of wedding shots (in and outside) and many other shots throughout the next month. After nearly 30 days, well over 100 shots, lots of downloading, a wedding and a visit to my daughter at college the battery finally went out. Wow!
Detail? I was in my kayak and had a dragonfly land on my lap. I took the shot and the detail is so good you can see the individual threads in the rip-stop nylon pants I was wearing and the detail of the web in its wings!
Indoors? I took a shot of my daughter and 2 friends (nighttime, incandescent light) ... she liked the photo so much that we cropped out her friends and edited it and its the photo shes going to use for her senior picture in her yearbook!
Video? My other daughter is in the UMass Marching Band ... so I took 12 short (5-12 sec) videos of the Band and Colorguard at the UMass/Richmond game and the sound, with headphones, is quite good (better than regular TV sound). The video was best if I didnt pan with the camera. The end of that day is when the battery ran out (one month after a full wedding, all the inbetween photos and 12 marching band short videos!).
I did buy an SD card reader at Office Max (...) so now I dont run the battery to download pictures, erase my card, etc.
I like the other reviewers comment that its like being married to a handsome prince ... it really IS an attractive camera. After using my daughters Casio Exilim (nearly credit card sized) I knew I wanted a small camera. Im a high school administrator and its very convenient to slip it over my head with the neckstrap and wander around "capturing the moment."
I did a lot of internet camera shopping over the summer, waited for just the features I wanted, this camera was released, and Im very happy with it.
I do have an old, outstanding Canon AE-1Program with the huge telephoto lens, etc, so I did not buy this camera intending for it to do everything. This is my general purpose, get some GREAT shots, have some versatility, digital. Took my (just what I selected, multiples of some, wallets of another) for a little over $5.0little SD card to Wal-Mart today (I carry it and the reader in an old hardshell glasses case!), got 21 prints 0 ... no waste on bad shots and no going back for reprints after seeing how they came out!
I did buy a "Digital Promaster" camera case at my local camera shop and when I dropped the camera (in the case) onto pavement from the 10th or so level of the bleachers at a soccer game, the camera was fine!
As you can see, Im a very busy person ... and this camera keeps up with me. Way fun!

Owning this camera is kinda like being married to a handsome prince who unfortunately has prostrate cancer. The camera is very beautiful, compact and stylist. On the web, it doesnt look too glamorous but when I saw it at the Bestbuy, I fell in love with it. This camera stands out among all the other cameras. It is even more beautiful than canon s410. The solid construction and ultra compact size allows this camera to be truly pocketable. The blue power button looks very cool and prevents accidental turn on which can damage the lens.
The interface is also very user friendly. The zoom dial allows the user to quickly zoom in or out. When needed, you can turn off/on the LCD screen with just one button to save battery life. After you have taken the pictures, you can review and delete them easily without going through the menu. Battery life is excellent. I took more than 150 shots with LCD on one recharge.
Performance is very good: Quick start up time (~4 sec) and average shutter lag (<1 sec). Picture processing time ("shot to shot time") is also good at only 5/6 sec. There is virtually no red eye. (Only 1 out of 300+ pictures had red eye.) I think it was possible because the cameras long body allowed Kodak to put some distance between the lens and the flash unit. If the indoor light is low, the camera fires two successive flashes - one to contract peoples pupil and second one to light up the scene.
There are some good extras such as the orientation sensor which automatically shows the pictures in upright position, multispot focus which allows automatic focus even if the subject is not at the center, a TV output which allows you to see pictures and videos on the TV and the video mode with no length restriction (but do NOT expect this camera or any digital camera to replace your miniDV camcorder).
BUT Kodak ls743 faults at its main objective - taking good pictures. The jpeg compression is quite strong; it causes loss of details which is quite evident for complex objects such as trees and flower garden. In most cases, the picture doesnt quite look "sharp." Other complaint is the slight tendency toward reddish hue which produces inaccurate flesh tone for moderately dark skin people (Mexicans, Indians, mixed ethnicities, etc.) But for Whites, Asians (Orientals), and African Americans, the pictures are okay.
The main problem I have with this camera is dark indoor images... maybe something wrong with the light metering sensor... I tried changing the EV setting, bringing table lamp to add more light in the room and even holding the camera in different ways, but alas, nothing helped. Right now, I am using Paint Shop Pros "One Step Photo Fix" to tweak the pictures into acceptable quality.
After reading all the good reviews about this camera, I think I am poor person who had the luck of getting a defective camera. Or, maybe the people who wrote those reviews were simply too happy and excited about their new camera and overlooked its problems.

I recently purchased this Kodak LS743 camera after purchasing 2 other digital cameras and returning them. I started with the Nikon CoolPix 3100 which was a 3-megapixel for $179. I took it to the zoo and took some really good pictures, but wasnt entirely pleased with the zoom quality and it had a purplish tinge to the prints so I decided to try a higher megapixel camera. I found the Gateway D510 which was a 5-megapixel for only $199. I was excited to try it out. I was extremely disappointed. The print quality was worse than my old Olympus 2-megapixel and the camera got so hot in my hand while taking just a few pictures and even just reviewing the pix. I took it back the next day and had an extremely difficult time trying to find a good camera.
I really wanted the digital camera to take action photos of my son and pets at home. Since I didnt want to make another mistake purchasing a bad camera and having to pay a 15% restocking fee, I took my time playing around with all the cameras at the store. I had the camera associate move around so I could practice taking shots using the sport/action mode. I tested a few Fujis and also a few Canons and they were blurry. I tested the Kodaks and they came out great! I didnt want to pay too much for the camera (I paid $299), but I didnt want to risk buying another cheap one, so I bought the LS743. Right out of the box, it was so easy to use! It did not come with a SecureDigital card, but lucklily I had bought one for the Gateway camera.
I practiced taking action shots on the way home by pointing the camera out the window while I was driving and randomly taking pictures. I reveiwd them later and was amazed at the quality. Homes in the background were super crisp and the detail on the cars which were moving at over 30mph were as if they were not moving at all. I couldnt believe it! Little did I know that this camera also has video with audio capability with no time limit (only limited to your SD card memory). The quality of the video is as good as my digital camcorder if not better! I am so happy I went with Kodak.
This camera is nicely sized and takes great pix! The ONLY flaw I have found so far is taking pictures in low light - the LCD display is very dark and I cant seem to adjust the brightness. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting an easy-to-use point-and-shoot digital camera with great picture quality. The camera also comes with Kodak software which lets you create digital photo albums and burn them to CDs as slide shows.

This is my first Digital Camera purchase - and BOY am I glad I got the Kodak LS743! I have a husband & 2 daughters and I take pictures all the time-My film developing bill was high! Now I can pick and choose the shots I want to print. I can also create family albums on the computer - to eventually be put onto CDs & set to music!
They have the 5 megapixel cameras out, but I really dont think that I see that much of a difference with this 4 megapixel. I get Great photos-sharp & clear. And the zoom lets me be flexible with my shots. The color is awesome!-These pictures turn out beautiful!!
This is a smaller camera than any I saw. I like the sleek design.
You can also shoot 2 minutes of QVGA video. I havent done enuf with this feature yet, but I know its longer than some cameras on the market allow for video time.
I have used the Auto mode quite a bit while getting used to the camera, but it also has portait, close-up, night, sport, snow, & many other modes! It has flash, & red-eye reduction. You can even store email addresses in the camera & hit the "share" button to share special photos with your contacts. It comes with a rechargable lithium-ion battery and a sleek charger that you can plug into an outlet.
This camera is simple to learn & the pictures are amazing! I highly recommend this camera!

Ive been considering a digital camera for almost a year, and my in-laws have a Kodak 6330 that they like a lot. Kodaks general ease-of-use was a definite draw to me.I bought the LS743 yesterday, and it was very easy to set up and begin using. Battery life is excellent, and the battery is rechargeable (I bought a 2nd battery for only $20 to have a spare, too). The camera is compact but seems very well-put-together. My in-laws have a 6000 dock, and this camera will work on it, too. The lens is an upscale lens that is supposed to be a bit better than Kodaks lower-end models - I havent taken enough pictures yet to notice the difference. Id say the camera is excellent for beginners, but also there are plenty of features in the system for someone who wants to be able to adjust the shots on their own for a more-customized photo. (At least it seems that way from reading the user guide.) :-) All in all, great little camera!

If you are a DP Pro, then please dont read this review. But, if you are like the majority who wants an easy, reliable Digital camera and MOST OF THE TIME USE BASIC FEATURES ONLY person you must read on.I bought this camera after doing lot of research in the net and feedback from my peers. When I got this, I was amazed to see the picture quality and easiness in using it. I was shooting with in 3 hrs after the Fedex guy left. (Youve to charge the battery for ~3 hours before first use). I still have to invent all the advanced features and modes of the camera. But, if all DEFAULT and AUTO modes are this good, then I am sure it will be BETTER with advanced features. The battery life time is pretty good too.
Only concern is, the door for the output terminals (USB/Adapter),that looks bit shaky! After my initial research, things got filterd in to just three items: One Sony model and two Kodak model, CX7430 and LS743. Sony may be great but it was not good for me because
1)Seen pathetic remarks about their customer service
2)It has only 90 days warranty.
If you combine both(1) and (2) above, its risky to buy their product. I dont beleive in buying extended waranty for electronic stuff because the technology changes rapidly and, in another 2 years, youll find yourself in a situation to buy a new camera than paying for Extended warranty. Since Kodak has one year warranty and my platinum credit card has another one year free extended warranty, I had to decide between CX7430 and LS743. It was a tough decison, because both cameras are good. But the LS743 is the one that got PCMAGs Editors choice award (...) Looks like, it was a perfect decision.

I was trying to buy a good 4MP camera and was comparing between the LS743 and Nikon 4300Since i had a KODAK 2MP camera and results were preety good, so i decided to go ahead with the latest LS743 and am happy to take that decision. The camera is supercool in looks and takes superb pictures both in light and dark. I think it is a very good camera in the 4MP range.
