Professional Reviews of the Kodak LS443

  • 4 out of 5
A pleasure to operate (PC Magazine - 3/13/03)

A short boot-up time, minimal shutter lag, long-life battery and very good picture quality all helped this reviewer to give the Kodak LS443 a strong score. read original review

  • 4 out of 5
A very capable digicam (Imaging Resource - 3/13/03)

The author likes many features of the Kodak LS443, including the excellent image color and quality, and the docking station/easy-to-use photo editing software. Quibbles with the camera include: optical viewfinder that shows only 80% of final image; less-than-crisp sharpness considering it's a 4-megapixel camera; and less-than-accurate exposure settings. read original review

Makes easy work (Steve's Digicams - 3/13/03)

The reviewer gives the Kodak LS443 a very positive review, noting its sharp and colorful images, remarkable ease of use, and all inclusive package; he notes shutter lag is approximately one second. read original review

  • 3.5 out of 5
Over-processed images (DC Resource - 3/13/03)

A balanced review that describes the Kodak LS443's images as "oversaturated," "blurry," and "over processed" with noticeable shutter lag, but praises the EasyShare system's simple email and print functions. read original review

  • 3.2 out of 5
Mediocre image quality (CNET - 3/13/03)

Though the Kodak LS443 is easy to use, its poor image quality puts it at the back of the 4 megapixel class and earns it a low score from CNET. read original review
