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.
