Kodak EasyShare LS443 Digital Camera

Pros: excellent quality, price, easy of use
Cons: small amount of internal memory.

This review was updated Sept 14, 2005. See bottom for update. I bought this camera so we could take pictures at our wedding, instead of hiring a photographer. Right now I don't really use my 35mm camera that much, so initially I didn't really ever ...

Pros: Easy to use, loaded with features, small and portable, battery life
Cons: Internal memory small, no camera bag included, price slightly high

I can honestly admit that I am no professional photographer, but living in Hawai'i, this camera has been golden to me. It has provided me with images that I will cherish forever (or as long as they remain on my computer). Please forgive me if I do not...

Pros: The best picture quality I've seen the cameras in that price range!
Cons: Weak LCD display and battery life indicator only shows on weak battery.

Let's begin with what comes out of the box:
The 4MP Kodak LS443 Camera with built-in 16MB memory.
A docking station.
A battery.
AC Adapter.
USB Cable.

Let me begin by saying, thanks Kodak for not making us spend 100...

Pros: Picture quality, price, self explanatory menus
Cons: Internal memory is low, no camera bag, LCD

I have used 35mm cameras in the past and some other digital cameras and the Kodak LS443 puts all those other ones to shame. Once you start taking pictures then you will know what I'm talking about. When you first download the pictures to your computer, ...

Pros: Picture quality, docking station, video w/sound, ease of use, battery life
Cons: Memory, quality of the LCD display

I know this camera has been out a while, but I just got mine and wanted to let everyone know what a great camera this is. Let's start by reviewing the camera itself. Don't be deceived by the picture quality of the LCD screen. The quality of the ...

Pros: Solid, durable, easy to use
Cons: Autofocus needs work

I think the autofocus screws up a lot more than I would expect for $400. I've taken over 1000 pictures with this camera in the last year and I'd have to estimate about 5-10% of them are too blurry to print. Pictures taken while zoomed-in are often ...

Pros: Easy to use, many features, small and portable, and the battery life, well focused shots
Cons: Internal memory small, camera case not include

This digicam has a lot of nice bells and whistles. It records movie with sound. Has 5 automatic picture modes, lets you set a few manual features, like exposure comp. and ISO speed. You can even tag pictures for sending to specific email address...

Pros: Excellent pictures, very easy to configure, simple picture upload. Video capability.
Cons: Limited software capabilities. Camera lasted only about 1 year!!

*** SEE MY UPDATE OF 2/8/05 AT THE BOTTOM *** I've owned this camera for about 3 months and absolutely love it. The only problem I have is trying to figure out what picture resolution size to use for multiple purposes (high resolution for ...

Pros: Lots of features compared to models of similar price.
Cons: Serious design flaw in lens mechanism. Not very durable.

This is the first digital camera I've bought and I have mixed feelings about it. Initially I loved it! I love the ease of use and the fact that you can edit pictures to correct exposure, red-eye, etc., or delete them altogether and re-shoot without ...

Pros: Easy to use and vivid images unlike most digital cameras.
Cons: Reading through all the instructions, but worth the end result.

My husband purchased this camera for me with our new computer. I admit I am skeptical when it comes to digital cameras or any other electronic actually. Normally Bad or Unremarkable Photos become Art: This camera has changed the way I do pictures in ...

Pros: Lightweight, easy use, versatile, great quality photography
Cons: none really.

I purchased my Kodak Easy Share digital camera about one year ago, and I must say that this camera has been a revolutionary breakthrough in the way I take pictures forever. I bought it on the internet from a website that I can no longer recall. Actually, ...

Pros: Good design and size; price; lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Cons: So-so auto-focus; EasyShare software; proprietary battery and inconvenient charging through dock

1.5 years later: The lens mechanism has failed. The lens no longer pops out and retracts properly. I have to "shake" it out of the camera and push it back in when turning it off. The focus mechanism still works, so I can still take pictures with it. I ...

Pros: Outstanding quality, easy to use, great pictures, good camera for everyone.
Cons: None I can think of

This is truly an outstanding camera to use. It's simple enough to grasp almost immediately and is lightweight enough to also easily carry around at anytime. I love pretty much everything about this camera and have been nothing short of impressed with ...

Pros: It only costs me $200 a pop to get it repaired.
Cons: Highest failure rate in a camera I have ever seen. Watch out for the lens!

I'm a claims examiner for service contracts and by far this camera has the highest failure rate. I hate this camera. About 95% of the failures is due to the lens gears breaking, the remaining 5% are due to other normal failures. These other normal ...

Pros: Takes good pictures during the 2 minutes that it is in working condition.
Cons: Cameras break and fall apart often; awful service and support from vendor.

Kodak has surely gone downhill. My husband and I purchased this camera about years ago. About a year later, the lens mechanism on the camera broke and was not manhandled. We sent the camera in to be fixed which was given to us free-of-charge. (We ...
