Good Points

Before the lens stopped focusing, this camera provides crisp and color rich photos, with an easy to use docking system.


Bad Points

The LS443 display is not visible in direct sunlight. The camera has a noticable delay between pressing the shutter button and the actual taking of the shot. This could cause even the novice user to miss thier desired shot.


General Comments

This was a great camera, until just after one year, it started taking blurry pictures (out of the warranty period). Interestingly, I discussed this problem with two colleagues who also owned Kodak digital cameras (different models) and BOTH of them had to send their cameras to Kodak for repairs as well (not exactly a scientific sample size...but not a good indicator). After receiving my camera back from the Kodak repair shop, it had a gasket protruding between the body and lens...so back to the repair shop! My first return authorization number from Kodak was in the 903000 range and a month later my new RA was in the 941000 range. This would seem to indicate 38,000 returns to Kodak in about a one month period, so while the cameras may appear to be good value for the money, it looks like Kodak's EasyShare line has quality issues. I'd recommend choosing a Canon or other top brand.
