Digital Easy Kodak Share

A digital Kodak Easy Share camera is a great tool for snap-and-shoot home photographers. With a well-recognized bursting mode, exemplary focusing, and long battery life, this camera is ideal for taking on vacation. While the image quality is average for a four megapixel camera, the convenience of its interface makes it very popular with technophobes and casual photographers.

One of the problems with the Easy Share LS 743 is that its zoom only gives you 2.8 times scope. Without manual focus control, you just have to let the camera "do its thing." In addition, you need to purchase or own extra memory cards; most memory cards that come standard with Kodak cameras don't have enough space to be truly useful. This is less of a hassle than it might sound, as memory cards are typically affordable and easy to find.

Be sure to get a charger and NiMH batteries to go with this camera, and get a memory card that has 64MB capacity minimum. You can employ the Kodak Easy Share LS 743 to take video clips, but it's mainly a snapshot instrument. With an optical sensor size of 1/2.5 inches, a built-in flash, a one-inch LCD display, and a one year warranty, the Kodak Easy Share is a complete package.

Some reviewers have discussed how the ready light on the Easy Share is close to the viewfinder aperture, but this negative is counterbalanced by the camera's assertive lens, good construction, and ability to take rapid shots. Best of all, the Kodak Easy Share model offers dynamic image transfer; even people who never use a digital camera should have no problems using this intuitive camera.
