Thanks, Brad. That's
good advice. I'll probably keep it. It will do untill the price of 5mg/p cameras
drops enough to persuade me to buy one. I'm not all that into gadgets - I'm just
too cheap to buy them when they first come out. Shoot, I didn't buy a DVD player
until they hit $139 at Sam's Club.
If the 4230 works,
then keep it. I have a 1.3 mega pixel camera that I still use. I
would not mind higher resolution to let me have full screen shots that are a
bit clearer than what I have now, but all the pictures you saw were taken with
that camera. So you have twice the resolution! If you are doing
pictures for the computer, you really have all the resolution you will need
until you decide to get into some more advanced stuff. For 4x6 prints,
you will not notice a difference, and you can go to 5x7 without
noticeable pixels. I think if you made an 8x10 you might not like
it, but then again you might be different from me and think it is
OK. For point and shoot, you will be fine.
Yeah, that's a good
point. I already deleted one of the "portraits" that showed her running
away...
I thought about the
4330 model but Target was clearing out the 4230's for $169 and it seemed
like a good deal. Is the quality of the pics you get with the 4330
worth the extra dough? If memory serves, they were about $300 at
Target.

Yep, they all do
that. The Kodak is a pretty decent entry level camera. You
will be hard pressed to find one that is easier to use that this. If
you get the dock and rechargeable battery that comes with the dock, you
may never need to buy a battery for it. Get a decent memory card,
and you may never have to do anything other than dock the camera. I
know how easy this is, because I bought the 4330, dock, and a128 MB
card for our daughter's Pre-School for the teachers to
use.
As for taking
pictures of three year olds, I've had a digital for about three years and
have taken hundreds of pictures of our almost 4 year old daughter.
At least with the digital you can review the pictures, trash the bad ones
and then re-take the ones that did not work.
I have what is
probably a silly question. I just picked up a Kodak 4230 digital camera
just for snapping pics of cars and stuff for ebay, etc. However, I
noticed that it does not work like my regular camera in that there is a
delay between when you press the shutter button and when it actually
takes the photo. Drives me nuts. My question is, are they ALL like this
or just this Kodak. I mean, imagine trying to take a picture of a three
year old when there's a 1.5 second delay. Shoot, my kids move so fast
that by the time the shutter clicks they're in the next
room.
