CNET Review
The Good: Solid image quality; easy operation; excellent burst mode; outstanding battery life.
The Bad: No manual exposure/focus controls; no TIFF/raw options; no diopter adjustment; memory card not included.
The Bottom Line: Clean design, fast operation, and a great burst mode are the hallmarks of this 4-megapixel shooter for the point-and-click crowd.

Review Summary: Small may be beautiful, but there is a point at which miniaturisation starts to defeat useability. These two cameras are on the borderline. The optical viewfinder is too small and awkwardly placed on the very end of the camera body.

Review Summary: The Kodak LS743 is takes extremely crisp, sharp pictures, sharper than many cameras with a higher MP rating. It's slow to start and not the sexiest camera we've seen, but it's easy to use and gives you great return on your money.
Manufacturer: Eastman Kodak Co.
