General Comments

After the searching the internet for a new camera and seeing excellent reviews for the Kodak Easyshare CX4230, I took the plunge and ordered one from Comet Direct (Offer price £149.00). On trying out the camera, I'm afraid to say I think the reviewers must have been using a different model. I found it very difficult to get a clear photo, although the reviews stated that the CX4230 took beautiful clear crisp shots. The focus and exposure would not always lock (orange light kept blinking when holding down the shutter release halfway). Also, the time taken to process the pictures between shots seemed like a lifetime. If you want a camera which is easy to use and are not really bothered about the quality of the photos then this would probably be ok. I myself thank God for the distance selling law. I returned the camera within seven days and now am the happy, proud owner of a Fuji Finepix A202. (Internet Cameras Direct £128).

    I good light the camera take very good pictures. But indoor or outdoor in dusk (or zoom) you can't get green for focus. You have to check the picture after every shoot to see if its OK. I'm going to return it. Software is good, but beware if you have a networkdrive after your CD-drive. Camera wan't it!.

    Comet £99 on offer with a discount. Pics are superb for the price. If you have a shaky hand then focus problems but otherwise it works with great results. For a bottom range camera you dont expect to much but this take anywhere camera in my pocket has shot some fantastic shots from closeup to landscapes. Using a tripod on landscapes with the camera at 180deg gives a polaroid effect on the sky sometimes with much richer color
