    Kodak Easy Share DX7440

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 18, 2004 | 19 out of 20 found this Kodak EasyShare DX7440 review helpful

    Pros: User friendly, light weight, great pics

    Cons: None so far

    I just bought this camera today and so far it's great. The software is easy to install and to work with as well. The camera itself is very user friendly and lets you choose a ton of different ways to take a picture with ease. With cameras in the ...past, I was always looking stuff up in the manual on the best settings for a particular shot. Not with this one. The LCD screen is nice and big as well.I chose the 4/4 primarily because of the zoom. Anything past 4x got to be really expensive. This seems to zoom and stay very clear and focused.I opted not to purchase the printer dock. I was told the ink runs out fast and the paper isn't cheap. Besides, I use Ofoto to buy my photos after they are uploaded. It's easy and inexpensive. Plus you don't have to leave home!So far this is a great camera. Look forward to using it more along with its creative software. Read more Less

    First Impressions DX7440

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 15, 2004 | 7 out of 7 found this Kodak EasyShare DX7440 review helpful

    Pros: Fast response, Large LCD, Manual controls, 4X Zoom

    Cons: Lousy cable lid, Jog Dial Lock and third class controlls

    Well, as the given feature set this camera is worth it. But Kodak's placement of buttons and the meterials are not that great.Say, zoom buttons should have place under the thumb rather than together with the shutter button.Jog dial lock is cumber...some to unlock. It will break over the use. Joystick is nice but lack the tactickle feed back when you press it. Directioning is OK. The hard rubber case which covers the cables is the lousiest part. You need both hands to lift it and plug the cables. It's so tight you might drop the camera if you are not careful with it.Pictures are actually darker that what you see in the LCD.Anyway this camera has lot of manual settings if you can master them. Auto setting are good for general picture taking though it's not suffient when in low light conditions.Video zooming is not possible. Waste of so called good lenses and 4X zoom if you take videos. There is not much difference in Fine and standard mode so better not waste the memory for fine mode for pictures.Pictures have a little yellow cast even in good light. Over exposure is possible in sunlight (Auto).Date and time settings will go if you remove the battery. If you gotta one battey you can't charge it while in the camera that makes everytime you have to set the time when you remove it to charge. (will AC Adaptor solve this?)Other than that rest of it this is a good camera for easy of use. Read more Less

    Great Pictures!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 31, 2004 | 4 out of 4 found this Kodak EasyShare DX7440 review helpful

    Pros: Easy to use, Great Pictures, Very versitile

    Cons: None so far

    I purchased this camera the day before my family and I went on a 7 day caribbean cruise. I took about 150 pictures with my 256 memory card and still had plenty of capacity left. The pictures varied from inside to outdoor, landscapes to people, stil...ls to action shots and the camera performed great. I did some research and found that 4MP was plenty of resolution for what I was doing and that amount would allow me to take great pictures without eating up all my memory. I liked the large LCD display, the highly touted lense, and the ease of use factor considering this was my first digital camera. For a first timer this is a great camera. For a more seasoned photog, this camera can do most anything. This camera seems to be built better than other Kodak models I looked at as well. I looked at Canon, Nikon, and Sony. They were all good, but this one seemed to have everything I wanted without any negatives. It's worked great for me. Would I buy it again? Definitely! Read more Less

    User Friendly, Great Pictures, Really easy to use

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 21, 2004 | 2 out of 2 found this Kodak EasyShare DX7440 review helpful

    Pros: Ease of use, large LCD 4X optical zoom

    Cons: None

    With a printer camera dock this is an exceptionally easy to use camera that makes top quality photo prints. The 4X optical zoom is just great! Charge the battery and go take photos right out of the box. the software installed in one try and interface...s easy with the Camera. Read more Less

    Great camera!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 7, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Kodak EasyShare DX7440 review helpful

    Pros: So easy to use

    Cons: None so far

    I bought this a few weeks ago after owning a Canon for 2 years. This beats it by far! I took my family to Disney World and this created priceless photos. I am confident in recommending it to anyone.

    Don't think just buy

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 11, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Kodak EasyShare DX7440 review helpful

    Pros: auto + manual + quick + marvellous image quality

    Cons: none

    I read all about digital cameras before buying mine and I'm quite satisfied with my decision. The lcd is 2.2 inches, and it has much much more pixels than most of 2.5, 2.0 and 1.8 inch lcd digital cameras which makes the pictures you take live, d...etailed and excellently clear. You can take pictures both in auto and manual modes, besides there are a lot of modes that are previously arranged for various scenes such as party/ sports (moving objects)/ portrait/ landscape and all af them are very helpfull. You cannot miss anything, it can take 30 photos in 2 seconds. Video time is only limited to the SD you will buy and video option is quite satisfactory. It is at first hard to hold the camera, as it's not quite ergonomic, but you get used to it very quickly. To use the camera is very easy, the manual is clearly written. It is a great camera. I honestly very much recommend this camera, it is quite impressive compared to its price. Read more Less

    Perfect camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 12, 2005

    Pros: Quality pictures, long battery life, ease of use

    Cons: What's not to like

    I was afraid to switch from my 35mm but am I glad I did.
    At my age digital seemed too confusing. Nothing could be easier than this plus the pictures are beautiful.

    The best digital camera so far

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 12, 2005

    Pros: Easy to use, Great pictures, Huge screen,No waiting

    Cons: none

    I did my studying before buying any new camera since I had bad experiences in the past, stay away from sony cameras, canons are good, but for the money this camera is sturdy easy to use and the pictures are fantastic, the batterie life is long and th...ats another plus. There is no waiting to take pictures from one shot to another like alot of other cameras just snap away even at moving objects it catches it all. Read more Less
