Still a great camera!.......2006-10-29

I have had this camera for over three years now and it is still working great.As far as batteries go, you need to use the reccomended CRV3 battery if you want the most life. The second choice would be rechargable batteries. The shutter speed takes time to get used to especially when you are trying to get a picture of your kids and they quit what they were doing so cute before it takes. The quality can not be beat for a 2mp camera. I currently have a 5mp Optimus camera also and even though the quality is higher, I prefer the Kodak for everyday pictures because it controls the lighting better with the white balance unlike most newer cameras with the automatic white balance that will not let you adjust it. Don't get me wrong I have had to work on it some but that is my fault because I let my children take pictures with it and has been dropped. I have replaced the battery cover. You can not get parts through Kodak but you can get parts for it on Ebay. The battery cover was remanufactured and was $10 on ebay. Also the lens cover will not close on its own, I have to lightly tap it but it does not interfere with the camera working. This is a great camera but I paid less than $100 for mine brand new, so search for better prices or for a higher MegaPixel camera for that price.

Camera was good until the lens cover broke.......2006-10-01

I bought this camera in April 2003 and have taken alot of good pictures with it. I used the viewer mostly so I didn't have trouble with batteries.
I would say it is a good camera but the switch that opens the lens cover stuck and we couldn't get it open. My husband took it apart and we find it has a delicate setup on the lens cover. PLASTIC!! The lens cover had broken inside.
Replacement parts are not longer available.
I think this camera should have lasted more than 3 years. I would have rated it a 5 star if it hadn't given me this problem.
My sister bought a Canon at the same time and she still has a good camera.
So I changed to Canon for my next camera which I just bought this month. Sept 2006.

Horrible! That's Why I Got It Free With My Dell.......2006-02-03

I agree with Lagenfeld's review "Not worth buying". It takes forever to take a picture after you press the shutter. Drains batteries in an instant. It doesn't even take good pictures for how much it drains the batteries. You'll be spending $20 for batteries everytime. Even if you get chargeable batteries, you'll be tired of charging them ever so constantly and if you go somewhere and don't have an outlet to plug the charget into, you'll be missing great shots. You have to keep reprogramming your settings on the camera, because it never saves your settings everytime you turn it off. THE COLOR IS ALWAYS WAY TOO BRIGHT OR WAY TOO DARK! You'll make everyone including yourself look hideous or like a ghost with this camera. The person never looks like themselves with this camera. IT'S A FRUSTRATING AND ABSOLUTELY HERENDOUS CAMERA NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE CAMERA COSTS. IT'S NOT WORTH A DIME!!! THAT'S WHY IT CAME FREE WHEN I BOUGHT MY FIRST COMPUTER.

Nice camera! -- 11 1/2 yr. old's review.......2005-12-05

This is a pretty nice camera! I recieved it yrs. ago, and it still works great. Here are some pros and cons:

Pros: Pretty nice 2.0 picture quality, easy transport from doc to computer, nice features, works pretty good, picture can be taken with the screen and an eye-through lens.
Cons: Battery life not that long, battery wears out in a couple years, sometimes when the battery dies and needs to be charged you have to set the date & time again.

Overall, this is a pretty nice camera, and if you're neady for one, and you find this one: GO FOR IT!!!

Two Year Update.......2005-07-20

It's been over two years since I bought this camera and it's still going strong. After reading some of the more recent reviews I just wanted to touch on some subjects:

Battery Life - Using 2300 mAh Ni-MH I can take over 70 top quality images, at least half with the flash on, on two batteries. During the hurricanes of 2004 that hit Florida I purchased a Lithium Ion battery cell for the camera and it's STILL in the camera and working perfectly!

Image Quality - I'm a digital artist and know image artifacting and the differences between poor quality images and images worth printing. I've printed over a dozen 8x10s over the last two years and they've all come out beautiful. 4x6 prints that are well exposed are indistinguishable from 35mm prints.

Imaging Speed - Yes, this, and every other point and shoot digital camera, has a slow recycle speed, some newer camera may be marginally faster but for something two years old this works as well if not better than any on the market at the time.

In conclusion: BUY this camera if you can find one. It takes great pictures, it does NOT eat batteries as others have claimed and you can get some very nice archival prints from it. For the money I spent two years ago I couldn't be happier.

Please see my review from two years ago further down the list for more information on the Kodak CX4230.

Customer Reviews:

Cheaply made, NOT reliable.......2005-07-14

The Rhomba is cheaply made. Mine stopped working completely after about two months. Piece of garbage.

A product with error........2005-01-14

The first day I bought this, it didn't work. But then the next day, it worked a gain. I continued to use it for 1 month, and it didn't work completely. Many people used it and said that it is a bad product with errors.

Don't buy this piece of crap.......2004-12-26

I bought this piece of crap and found out it's not compatible with tracks which are downloaded in DRM (Digital Rights Management) format which 6 out of 6 songs I downloaded from Napster were in. So, I have basically a $200 radio. Worthless. DO NOT BUY!!!

Creative could be creative.......2004-11-11

I bought this player for my nephew(age15) one year ago. After the first month it wouldn't work. called and they refused a new one, only rebuilt. OK. Sent it back and 4 1/2 months later it stopped playing again. They refused him any replacement, partial payment to fix it, no solution to the problem. I am sitting here with this $179.MP3 player that doesn't work, that I can now get for $119 and am not sure what to do with it. Do I throw it away, can it be fixed(again). I would not buy any Creative product again. EVER

Ideal for its use.......2004-09-07

I have had the Rhomba now for about 8 months and I am very happy with it. There was a problem after about 3 months but after some intense convosations with creative's customer support and online assitance I upgraded the firmware and have had no problems.

It can hold enough wma for my needs. It is small enough to go running with (the reason I chose it in the first place). I have a couple of issues with it which would not have stopped me buying it. but may be of concen.

Power> power display on the screen bares little relation to the power held in the unit. It never appears to go below about 60% power but has run dry several times. I would (in restrospect) have prefered to have a battery powered as if you don' have a PC around with a USB port, you can be kinda stuck. perhaps someone will come up with a power supply cable which goes straight to a USB conector from an AC source (with whatever voltage they need)

radio > when this works it is great.. sadly to get it to work i need to heavily flick the unit a few times. OK not best practace!

But as I said do have a small MP3 player which works with WMA and is easy to use I have been very happy with this unit.

Low quality - avoid it.......2004-04-13

I recently purchased this TV stand for my 27" flatscreen Panasonic TV, and I am not impressed.
The assembly was fairly easy.
Now, for my complaints:
The wood is cheap, weak particle board.
The clips that hold the glass doors to the magnets are way too big. They slide around and fall off easily. Customer service told me to tighten them by pinching them in my fingers. That only closes the bottoms of them. The tops are still very loose and move around a lot.
Worst of all, when I set my 95 pound TV on top, the top sags a few eighths of an inch so the doors won't close without scraping the top. I had to adjust the hinges to get the doors to close, but now the tops of the doors are almost touching each other while the bottoms are 3/8" apart. Customer service didn't know what to say about this. (The stand is rated for 135 pounds.)
