User Reviews for Kodak EASY SHARE C743 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA

  • Reviewed by: sewerman

    Duration of ownership: 4 Months

    Strengths: This camera is very easy to operate. I had an older model Kodak and it took a very long time to turn on where this one is almost imediate, just turn the dial and after a quick greeting tone you are taking pictures in whatever mode you choose. Picture quality is very good; I've taken pictures on cloudy days and sunny days plus at night and haven't had any real issues with picture quality. I am also very impressed with the video capture as well as sound quality for a digital camera!

    Weaknesses: My only complaint so far is that the manual has to be downloaded to get the full features of this camera. Plus some of the features could be explained in a little more detail.

    Overall Evaluation: Overall I think the price, features and mega-pixels make this camera a very good deal. It's ease of operation can make anyone an instant photographer, plus it's size makes it easily fit into a shirt pocket.

    Strengths: Easy to use

    Weaknesses: ABSOLUTELY THE WORST WHEN IT COMES TO RED-EYE REDUCTION!

    Overall Evaluation: Camera is OK other than it really stinks with the red-eye reduction! You can easily find a better camera out there for the budget price of $100. I don
