What does everyone think of this digital camera...
Kodak 4 MP EasyShare CX7430 Digital Camera
I saw this at wal-mart for $230... found it on the net for $199. I really have wanted a digital camera to take to college, and for thise price and 4 MP I am very tempted to go and buy one. http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQueri...q-locale=en_US
It uses a SD memory card, so I was thinking of getting a 128MB or 256MB one for the camera. What do you think, good deal?? Good camera?? Thanks a ton

I always thought that kodak was good, but not the top tier of manufacturers for cameras. But their new models have suprised me, but i was after a very advanced camera.
I got the Fujifilm s5000 this summer, You could probably find it under $300 online easy now. It uses the 3.1MP Super CCD, at an angle, to produce 6 Megapixel images (HUGE). 10x Zoom (my biggest requirement for a digicam) has a good flash, movie mode, and has webcam capability (use it all the time)

But for that price, that Kodak is a gooood deal, Fuji'* are cheapest at Clickfordigital.com last i checked...

Thanks Jason... looks very nice, but I am looking for something a little more portable. I just want something to take to college and be able to go out with and take pics on the go. When I graduate I plan on adding photography to my list of stuff to do (along with many others) but as for now I just want something that I can take pictures of all of my freinds with. I plan on carrying it with me as much as possible so that I can take a picture of the sun setting over the lake or whatever I see that I like, but I am probably not as much of an avid photographer as yourself. So, after all of that blabbering, what I really mean is I just want something simple that will take good pictures and that will be good enough for 4 years...

sony'* cybershot is an amazing camera. and its small !
My dad'* olympus C-3030 is very nice also. a little bigger though.
But whatever you do, stay away from HP. Their battery life SUCKS!

Yeah, we have one of the previous ones just like that around-it'* a great little camera. I think you'd be happy with it. Only thing is the silly digital zoom isn't real terrific, but everything else is somewhere between good and excellent.
