Digital Camera Review

Aug 27, 2004 - By James Murray
Crafted by Kodak as a simple, accessible digital camera that is “ready to go--right out of the box,” the Kodak EasyShare CX7330 is equipped with a Kodak Retinar 3x optical zoom and a 1/2.7-inch. (3.3 total megapixel) CCD. With a MSRP of US $199.95, the CX7330 is armed with direct print capabilities when used in conjunction with Kodak EasyShare printers and printer docks. The CX7330 provides Kodak EasyShare software for personal computer editing to help simplify the printing process. With 16MB internal memory, the CX7330 can shoot without a memory card when desired, although the user can choose to utilize an additional SD/MMC memory card with up to 256MB of added memory. The Kodak EasyShare CX7330 can capture video at 15 fps for up to 18 minutes with the largest compatible memory card and up to 53 seconds on the camera’s internal memory. The direct print ease of the CX7330 as with other Kodak EasyShare cameras is a strong benefit of this line of digital cameras, providing near instant prints with minimal effort. This simplistic shooting and printing process is headlined by Kodak and seems to be a new area of mastery for the former celluloid masters.

Conclusion
The Kodak EasyShare CX7330 is a point-and-shooter's dream. It is hands down one of the best cameras on the market for users who don't want to think about anything. Its simple design brings to mind a toy, but its image quality isn't a joke. For an MSRP of US $199.95 the Kodak EasyShare CX7330 will give you good pictures as well as do all the thinking for you. However, if you are planning to expand your knowledge of digital cameras and would like room to explore and experiment, this camera is not for you. Most of the settings are automatic with no option of adjusting anything yourself.
