Kodak C743 Digital Camera Review

SD card for memory, these are great and can hold thousands of high quality images and / or a lot of video (recorded with sound). These use AA batteries, so while they eat them up with the flash, they are easy and low cost to replace (feed)

The controls are all within reach if you are right handed. i guess left handed people have gotten used to using cameras with their wrong hang.. r many be the next PC wave will be for left handed rights.. anyway, the Kodak C743 also has a strong place for the lanyard which I find an important part of my cameras.  Some 550 cord looped through the lanyard loop makes for a VERY strong way to keep hold of this camera

The screen on the back is very big, so far that has been nice, but I think it might use a lot of power compared to the much smaller ones I've used in the past. Also seems like this one could get damaged easier, although i protect it much more than past cameras because of the large screen being exposed. The Delete is a separate button, so are review and flash. The best feature in regard to buttons ont his model is the separate button for Self Timer and double shots. that is very handy and time saving

The lens moves out (with a motor) each time you turn it on. This is the first camera like this for me, and in my opinion the weakest link on this camera. It's a waste of batteries and takes too long to get ready to take pictures because of this wait. Also when you shut it down it wastes more batteries to retract the lens. So far it hasn't broke, but I am sure it will. The lens goes back in when the camera goes into battery saving mode too (which wastes batteries). There is a self contained lens cap which is nice, but will also soon break.
