CNET Editors' Review

The good: Compact; simple, straightforward controls and operation; above-average performance; orientation sensor.

The bad: Somewhat unnatural, painterly photos; white balance and ISO are automatic only; small, not terribly sharp LCD.

The bottom line: If you don't mind photos with an unnaturally smooth, slightly airbrushed look, the EasyShare CX6330 is a nice snapshot camera.

Review: Offering a 3-megapixel CCD sensor, a 3X zoom lens, good performance, modest versatility, and portability, the Kodak CX6330 has most of the ingredients of an excellent snapshot camera. But this EasyShare is too automatic, and while its photos are pleasing, they have an odd, slightly painterly look that may give you pause.The silver Kodak EasyShare CX6330 has a clean, attractive style, and while the camera isn't superslim like the latest ultracompacts, it's trim enough to fit in a pocket without trouble.

Offering a 3-megapixel CCD sensor, a 3X zoom lens, good performance, modest versatility, and portability, the Kodak CX6330 has most of the ingredients of an excellent snapshot camera. But this EasyShare is too automatic, and while its photos are pleasing, they have an odd, slightly painterly look that may give you pause.The silver Kodak EasyShare CX6330 has a clean, attractive style, and while the camera isn't superslim like the latest ultracompacts, it's trim enough to fit in a pocket without trouble. Weighing 8.3 ounces with the batteries and the memory card installed, the plastic body is also fairly light, and a ridge along the face's left side helps you maintain a secure grip. Construction quality feels very good, except for the plastic cover protecting the media slot and the USB port. The door is supposed to slide over and swing out, but ours jammed a lot, and we predict short life spans for many of them.

Photoshop's Smart Blur function. Shots end up looking a bit like paintings, more and more noticeably as the print size increases. As a result, we lowered the camera's image-quality score, but we recognize that some folks might not mind painterly photos. Kodak evidently believes that lots of people won't.

Our test shots were very clean; the camera Smart Blurred electronic noise into near oblivion along with our surface textures and other fine details. Large details and clear-cut edges came out crisp, so our pictures looked sharply defined, especially in modest enlargements. Most of our exposures were good, with vibrant and reasonably accurate colors. The EasyShare CX6330 also ably avoided blown-out highlights, although high-contrast edges exhibited moderate purple fringing. In flash photos, we noted a slight tendency toward reddish skin tones.

"Great enrty level camera." By boatndude

Pros: Small, very easy to use.

Summary: We had ours about 6 months when it got dropped. Needless to say KODAC was not the place to send it too if it was odvious it was your fault. If it is a warranty problem that wasnt caused by your mistake who knows. I found a local shop that ... Expand full review

"For what it is ... it is Grrrrrrrrrrreat!" By miulloj

Pros: Good service belive it or not. Many features. Easy to use.

Cons: Battery eater, flimsy port door, bad for scenes.

Summary: This camera has a lot of features for the price and the photos are good enough for most web and smaller printing purposes. The most delicate item on it is the cover over the SD slot which I think is going to break eventually. I had a problem (The SD ... Expand full review
