The Kodak EasyShare LS743 combines compact design, enhanced sharing features, superb image quality, and ease of use to help you capture and enjoy those moments that make life enjoyable. The sleek, slim aluminum LS743 is slim enough to easily fit in your pocket, and it weighs under 6 ounces. It features a 4-megapixel resolution, professional-quality Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon 2.8X compact optical zoom lens, Kodak's new Color Science image processor, movie mode with up to VGA resolution, 1.8-inch LCD, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, 16 MB internal memory, and compatibility with SD and MCC memory cards.

The Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon 2.8x optical zoom lens is also supplemented by a 3.6x digital zoom.

Storage and Transfer
Images can be stored within the LS743's 16 MB internal memory, or on optional Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards. It connects to Macs and Windows-based PCs via USB 2.0 connectivity. Sharing
With a touch of the red-jeweled Share button, you can store up to 200 pictures in an on-camera digital album. These pictures can then be shared anytime on the camera's large, 1.8-inch, high-resolution (134,000 pixels) indoor/outdoor LCD screen. The Share button also allows selection of photos for printing and even e-mailing, with up to 32 e-mail addresses stored in the camera's memory. Kodak Color Science Image Processing Chip
Kodak's Color Science Image Processing Chip offers a new high-speed digital image processor, advanced algorithms, and hardware acceleration features that enable the LS743 make simultaneous, split-second decisions to produce rich, vibrant, true-to-life colors in almost any lighting situation. Each time you click the shutter, the Kodak Color Science Chip performs an instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and correct multiple factors that influence picture quality. Scene light source is detected and adjustments are made to capture bright whites and true, vivid colors under difficult lighting conditions--fluorescent, tungsten or daylight. Scene content is analyzed for luminance, focal distance, subject matter orientation and color to determine the correct exposure and capture the natural details, accurate flesh tones, and rich colors you see in your composition. Power and Size
The LS743 is powered by a proprietary rechargeable lithium-ion battery (1050 mAh), which can be charged via the included battery charger or an optional EasyShare Camera Dock. The KLIC-5001 battery can shoot approximately 350 images on one charge. The camera measures 4.3 x 1.9 x 1.2 inches and weighs 5.8 ounces. What's in the Box
This package contains the EasyShare LS743 digital camera, rechargeable lithium-ion battery (KLIC-5000), battery charger, neck strap, USB and A/V cables, and custom camera insert for optional EasyShare Camera and Printer Docks. Like all EasyShare cameras, the LS743 includes Kodak EasyShare software for Windows and Macintosh systems, providing effortless digital picture transfer, organization, basic editing, sharing and printing. The software's exclusive One Touch to Better Pictures feature--which takes advantage of proprietary color technologies developed by Kodak--helps Windows OS users get vibrant, true-to-life prints from home inkjet printers, while significantly reducing the trial, error and waste usually associated with home photo printing.

This was the first digital camera I every bought and I still love it. I just bought my second more high tech digital but nothing beats the simple easy pictures these take. I took pictures at a wedding this summer and got better pictures than the professional with this LS743!!
This camera takes the fastest pictures, everyone is always so amazed! I love the battery also, it is way better than having to recharge AA, lithium last way longer.
Also a great party camera, this was dropped plenty of times in my highschool days and is still taking great pictures to this day!
Highly recommended! ;

I purchased this camera when it came out in 2004. I love it! The only complaint (or minor annoyance) is that it is sometimes temperamental when I first turn it on and snaps a shot on its own. Besides for that it's been a great camera. We have 3 children and we really use this camera ALL the time. It has been to the beach with us several times, dropped in the sand, dropped on hard floors by the kids, etc., and still no problems. I got my first ever error code yesterday because the lens would not fully retract when I turned the camera off so I simply manually pushed the lens back flush with the front of the camera and when I turned it on again it extracted perfectly and the error code disappeared. If this camera dies tomorrow I will still have no complaints because I know I've gotten my money's worth and I have hundreds of beautiful photos to prove it. ;

I bought two of these cameras and printer docks because it was so easy to learn -- this was my first digital camera. It takes nice pictures without red-eye. The only issue with it is that it takes so long to reset between pictures that the subjects start to walk away after the first shot. Because of that, I am switching to a new camera soon. The Kodak software is good for uploading images to the Kodak website for sharing pictures easily and ordering photos. But, the software tends to be very buggy and takes forever to install and update. The Kodak printer dock makes very nice prints -- when it works. I had to send one of the docks back for repair within the first year. Frequently, the docks are not recognized by my computers.;
