Viewfinder (0.0)
With limited space on the back of this point-and-shoot camera, Kodak has chosen to remove the viewfinder. This is probably a good move since the optical viewfinder would inevitably been inaccurate. The unfortunate downside to not having a viewfinder is that the photographer will have to rely on the less-than-impressive LCD screen that performed miserably in lower light situations.
LCD Screen (4.0)
The LCD screen, as mentioned in the viewfinder section, is a rather underwhelming component when compared to the rest of the industry. The screen on the C433 does display live images, although with a bit of a stuttering delay. While functional, it was hard to rely on this feature in anything but strong, even lighting. In direct light, the screen easily washes out and angled viewing results in significantly diminished clarity.
The LCD on the EasyShare C433 measures 1.8 inches and has resolution so low that Kodak doesn’t want to even publish the numbers. While it is understandable that Kodak had to make some sacrifices to keep costs down, pervasive problems with essential features make a camera like the C433, even at its price, a difficult purchase to make. It might be wiser for consumers to hold off and save up for awhile longer, until they are comfortable investing in a slightly more expensive camera that has a significantly better viewing display.
Flash 
(6.5)
The flash on the Kodak EasyShare C433 is actually a surprisingly well placed, horizontally-oriented flash that produces even illumination. A flash setting control is located on the top of the camera to the left of the mode dial. The external placement enables users to save time and skip the menu structure; it’s easy to find and uncomplicated to engage and adjust, which make it a great feature for even beginning photographers. Flash settings when shooting with the Kodak EasyShare C433 include auto flash, flash fill, red-eye and off. Flash distance in wide angle will be 2 to 11.5 feet and 2 to 6.6 feet in telephoto. Both ranges are attained when shooting with an ISO setting of 200.
Zoom Lens (6.0)
The 3x optical zoom lens on the Kodak EasyShare C433 is equipped with a two-step aperture of f/2.7 to f/4.9 and a built-in lens cover that eliminates the potential for misplacing the lens cap. The zoom, which moves through a 36-108mm 35mm equivalent focal range, does so rather slowly. A graphic display appears vertically in the upper left corner of the LCD to display the zoom length and when the camera transitions from optical to digital zoom. The camera also includes a 5x continuous digital zoom, although it should be avoided whenever possible, since it will compromise image quality.
