Advantages: Very Easy to Use, Affordable Price

Disadvantages: Battery life, Optical Zoom

I bought it from PC World with £249. The price as I noticed it was the same at Dixons and £9 cheaper from Carrys.(Now the camera is on offer now at Dixons with £149.99! sob...)

The whole package includes: The camera, 2 AA Kodak batteries, software for computer, usb cord to plug into your camera and computer for easy transfer of pictures, a cord to plug into your tv so you can review pictures on it (very cool and handy for relatives that don't have PC) and of course, manuals and warranty information.

The camera has a good picture menu.On the picture menu you can magnify, protect, have a slide show, copy, get multiple view of all your pictures, and get picture information.

I took about 20 pics the first time and the batteries dried out!So I recommend to buy rechargable batteries so not to waste money in batteries.

The built in 16 MB of memory holds around 45 photos on the lowest setting, and 15 or 16 on the highest.A Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia Card (MMC), which can be found cheap now will help to storage more pics.(64MB SD memory card from Carrys at £39 will storage 125 high quality pics.Same price at PC World but cheaper from the internet if you search.I didn't have time for it when I bought it!)

The camera really shines when it comes to sharing prints over the internet. With one click
of the button, the camera loads the photos to the web with ease. Downloading pictures onto your computer is also a snap.The software that Kodak has is really very easy to use and you has an automatic update as well.

My opinion is: Though not the most technologically innovative camera on the market, the CX4300 meets the needs of the casual camera user as well as the more experienced user who wants to use the camera for more.

I am really pleased with it!

So if you think of buying it consider:

1. It has High resolution of 3.2 MP - The high resolution allows us to expand and edit the phot
os.Really good in that camera.

2.Easy interface with Computer - The camera has Universal Serial Bus port and it is very easy to download the photos to computer.

3.Easy to use.Supposing you ask a third person to take picture, it is not required to say many things to him about how to use it.Just press the button!

4. It has Timer,Time/Date setting ,TV Display - The 10 second timer display and the date-time settings are provided from the picture menu. Also the picture can be displayed on TV using the Video out cable provided. So, if your relatives do not have computer, you can still show them the photos on their TV.

5. You can't take video with it and it can not be used as web cam with computer.

6. You must buy rechargable batteries and an additional memory card.
