Good camera, but not anymore........2007-05-24
Ok, I got this cam a couple years ago but now there are more better ones. IF you bought this camera now, what on EARTH are you doing? I think a buyer should go with a better Panasonic Lumix digital camera, which you get 6x zoom, 7.2 MP, for a better price.
EATS BATTERIES!.......2006-12-27
I have owned a Kodak EasyShare CX6230 for a couple years and it eats batteries for dinner.
If you don't mind feeding your Kodak Camera batteries all the time, then go ahead and get one. My Kodak hardly ever had enough power to take some pictures and then download them off the camera without putting in new batteries.
I have upgraded to Canon PowerShot SD600 which is powered by a lithium-ion battery (battery and charger included)which is a HUGE plus.
Worth the Price.......2006-09-17
I have owned this camera for a year now. This is a good basic camera. It has a lot of nice little options like zoom and a close-ups setting. A lot these days is made of the megapixels in a camera and although this one seems to be on the low side it takes great pictures.
Some things to think about:
This camera eats up batteries fast. you can't leave the batteries in overnight or they will die. If you do take the battteries out there is an internal memory that saves all your pictures so you don't lose anything. Nice feature.
Also: USB connects right to any USB port on your computer which is nice. But you have to load the software to your pc and if you do this I recommend you go with the absolute minimum installation. There is way too much stuff on the disc and it will take over your computer as far as claiming itself to be your default program for all types of images and graphics.
If you don't have any graphics/image software on your PC already then go ahead and load everything. But if you are like me and already manipulate images with other software go for the minimum installl. This will avoid yet another icon in your systray and another application checking in online for updates etc.
all in all its a good first camera at a reasonable price.
Easy to use, decent photos for a 2MP, but locks up too much.......2006-09-07
I've had the camera for about 2-1/2 years. In all that time, it's always worked, always taken decent pictures. The controls are easy to use. Hooking it to a Mac with OS9 or OS/X was trivial.
Why only 2 stars? The camera locks up too much. If you activate a menu or control, and push something else while that function is completing, the camera always locks up and restarts. This is extremely annoying on its face, but it also puts many menu setting, like the custome light exposure choices (i.e. +1, -1) back to their default state, so you have to start over setting them up.
It also exhibits this lockup behavior when you DON'T activate controls in rapid succession. Many times I'll turn it on and just try to focus on something. The camera lens won't move, and the red focus-lock indicator in the viewfinder will never come on. Next thing I know, it's rebooted and I have to try again.
I also have a CX6330 (the 3MP version), and it behaves in exactly the same way. This is clearly something that's a serious bug in the camera's firmware, but I see no firmware updates ever posted for this camera.
It's also a battery hog, but that's pretty common for digital cameras. With rechargeable NiMH AA batteries, you can take about 40-50 pictures on a set of batteries, so definitely get rechargeables.
Too bad. Other than the lock-up, it's been a nice camera.
Absolutely Not.......2006-05-26
Do not buy this kodak camera!! it's body is a thin plasitc painted silver. It will withstand about 4 or 5 drops. i dropped it more and no matter what batteries I put in, it will last about 2 seconds. i am never buying a kodak again.

Customer Reviews:
The Dock is a hassle.......2004-07-16
Since purchasing this camera as a Christmas present for my family, the Dock has never worked right. The camera doesn't sit right in it and doesn't charge. The power cord from the Dock to the wall only works on certain outlets. I'd rate the camera better if I actually used it more than twice, but its rechargeable battery is always dead. I can't tell which features are good or not. I'm disappointed and spent almost $200 for the bundled items.
Camera Seems Good, Dock Does Not Function Well.......2004-03-09
I received my camera today, apparently I got a used one, as the packages were taped shut. I made a 30 second video, worked fine, using the non-rechargeable batteries, then they discharged completely. I put in the Rechargeables and set it on the dock, the green light came on, within a few seconds, all the redlights came on. I checked all the possible issues listed in the manual and replaced the camera on the dock several times; with the SAME results. Camera seems to work fine when it has charged batteries, or while on the dock, but I cannot use it right now unless it is on the dock, as the rechargeables won't recharge and the other batteries are totally discharged. Seemed like a nice little camera and I thought it was a Kodak, but it does say MADE IN CHINA once you look it over GOOD. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to work something out with the seller on getting one of the NEW ones he advertised, or just return this USED one; and go with an Olympus maybe. Cannot comment on computer capatibility, software or prints as I didn't get that far. What a shame, things started out well for the first 15 min. or so!
Love it!.......2004-01-24
I bought this camera after returning an hp 3.2. This camera is so much more than I imagined. I am so happy with this camera. It takes better pics at 2.0 than the hp took at 3.2. The camera dock is wonderful and so easy to use. I love knowing that it is charging all the time and I dont have to wait til the rechargeables wear out before recharging them again. For the price, this is an awesome camera!!
New to Digital ~ This is a Great Camera Package.......2004-01-21
I ordered this camera after much research and reading all the reviews. I am so happy that I did. It comes with everything you need to get started (except a memory card, which I recommend you purchase with it). I was able to plug in the dock, (the dock comes with a rechargable battery for the camera) put the camera on it and the battery was fully charged in just a couple of hours ~ I was ready to go. The software is very easy and explains everything you need to know ~ step by step. The very first day I had taken, shared & printed some really great pictures. The pictures that I printed are great quality ~ it's hard to tell them from pictures that I've taken with my regular film camera. Don't let the price fool you ~ this really is a great camera package ~ and it comes with a carrying case and Kodak 4 x 6 paper to start you off. This is my 2nd digital camera ~ I've never written a review before but I had to for this ~ I've only had it for a week now and so far I am very happy with this bundle.
WHAT A WONDERFUL BUY!.......2004-01-10
I should have ordered this camera sooner. This camera is very simple and easy to use, my 7 and 12 year enjoy using it. The owners manual made it so quick to understand all the camera's pirks. This includes me setting the timer and my whole family being in a Christmas morning picture. With some cameras you end up giving up.
The transfering the pictures allow you to crop, lighten/darken, and zoom in on a paticular subject. I have family in TN and this even has an email option to transfer the pictures. They do the same. This camera really saves you wasted pictures and alot of trips to get bad pictures developed.
My boys got toys for Christmas and I did too.

Amazon.com Product Description
The JVC RV-NB1 Kaboom Series Boombox is a powerful CD/MP3 portable player with a funky feature -- a built-in guitar amp featuring twin super woofers for massive sound and rich, deep bass tones. This unit will play CDs, CD-R/RWs, and MP3, so you can access your favorite tunes from virtually anywhere in your music library. The RV-NB1 also plays all your old favorites on cassette and delivers clear AM/FM radio. The tuner stores 15 AM and 30 FM stations in its memory for quick tuning at the touch of a button.
This Kaboom boombox delivers big sound with 52 watts of total power. With this power backing, the RV-NB1's super exciter bass circuit is able to achieve deep, rich bass tones through the dual 6.3125-inch subwoofers. Meanwhile, the active clear sound (ACS) feature improves the other frequencies' clarity for an excellent balance with the deep lows. If the bass levels seem a bit too strong, then you can use the independent subwoofer volume control to keep the bass tones from overwhelming the overall sound. Plus, this boombox features four preset equalization settings -- flat, beat, pop, and clear -- so you can set your levels with the push of a button.
The CD player and cassette deck have twist-doors to keep your music in place and playing. Keep the hits rolling with continuous, repeat, and random play settings on the Kaboom CD player and the auto-reverse transport function on the tape deck. You'll be thrilled as tunes just keep pouring out of the dual 3.1875-inch front-firing, full-range speakers.
Added features such as the carrying strap, remote control, AUX input, clock/timer with sleep and wake-up, and backlit illuminated LCD display make the Kaboom RV-NB1 an excellent choice for any room in your house or for music on the go.

Kaboom Box.......2007-09-16
I bought this boom box to play music in a gym. It is everything that I wanted and needed. The sound is clear and LOUD.
Love it!.......2007-09-11
I ordered this because a group that I belong to (The Church Ladies) needed a replacement for their boombox. Well, let me tell you, this one is wonderful! The only thing I can say bad about it is that it's hard to get used to locking the CD door and the Cassette door! If you're thinking about buying one of these - do it - you'll love it.
Unbelievable!!!.......2007-08-03
This boombox (I really hate that word) is incredible! My first christening music was a cassette of Whitesnake...OH MY GOD!!! The bass is thunderous and the voice coils are very clear. (I'm glad I made my recordings with Maxell XLII's because they really sound like CDs.) It's nice to be able to play all my cassettes again, but to make a CDR with 10.5 hrs. of mp3's is insane! I bought this UNIT because all my other portables were dying slowly leaving only the radio functioning. And you know how annoying it is when there is NOTHING that you like on the radio or there's just talking or commercials. A friend of mine has one of the other models in the Kaboom Series and I was impressed. I took a thin foam gasket and sealed around the cd player and cassette doors so that while I'm working on my house the sawdust and drywall dust won't cause a premature death. I don't know what those other reviewers are talking about when they say the unit can't get decent radio reception. I live in one of the 5 boroughs of NYC and I get GREAT reception in my kitchen that is framed with metal studs in the walls and ceiling and that's with the antenna DOWN! Either you guys live in lead houses or you're radioactive! Anyway, no discussion needed....BUY THIS....alright, BOOMBOX !!!
Pros and cons.......2007-07-23
Absolutely outstanding quality of sound(especially sound!!!!! and all the rest, however a little too big and heavy to carry it around. But overall I loved it.
N2FINEMUSIC.......2007-06-13
Greatest piece of sound equipment, just a little heavy. Fantastic with mic.

Terrific Little Speaker with Clear, Strong Sound.......2007-09-07
After reading several dozen consumer reviews describing laptop speakers I puchased this one. You simply plug it into your laptop, or USB hub, swivel the gooseneck to position the speaker where you want, and you've got an excellent speaker that fits in a small laptop utility bag.
The only complaint I have is that there is no quick volume control; once you've plugged it into your USB port, it overrides the laptop's volume control "knob". You have to open the volume icon in your Control Panel every time you want to adjust the speaker volume, which can be too slow when you're being blasted by a loud video.
This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the volume modulation in the speaker itself, just that there seems to be a wide volume range across items I view--YouTube, email messages with videos from friends, etc.
If this speaker had a volume control knob it would be perfect!
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DELL LAPTOPS.......2007-09-02
After several weeks of light, mid-volume use, the speaker stopped working on my Dell Latitude D500 and I began receiving error messages noting a "device malfunction". After trading emails with J-Lab customer service, I was instructed to return the speaker by mail (at my expense) for a refund. The refund I received was 80% of the original purchase price because, according to J-Lab, the device was still "working" upon receipt. The representative handling the return acknowledged that there has, in fact, been a history of compatibility issues with Dell laptops-- in other words, a "working" speaker may not always operate correctly when connected to a Dell laptop. Is trying this speaker on your Dell worth the risk of paying two sets of shipping charges, losing 20% of the purchase price, and spending time emailing representatives and repacking/mailing the device? If not, maybe it's worth considering alternatives.
Are we listening to the same speakers?.......2007-08-08
We bought this speaker for our Gateway M505 Media Laptop on a recent trip. The M505 has reasonable speakers for a laptop, but their volume level isn't quite strong enough for us to be happy--we'd always find ourselves straining to hear dialogue from movies.
From reading the reviews I honestly thought this would solve our problem in a nifty self-contained USB-powered fashion.
For us it didn't.
We found the speakers to be nearly identical to the M505 speakers, and while the B-Flex did give us the tiniest improvement in volume, it wasn't enough to really give us adequate volume, or the "big sound" many reviewers have mentioned. Also, there is no way a speaker the size of these can give the kind of frequency response any level of audiophile would be happy with.
So, who should try out this speaker? If you have standard tinny sounding laptop speakers (the almost nonexistent kind), these will be a big improvement. Also you will like the fact that it is USB powered so no batteries, no cords are needed.
However, having said that, I really think the bottom line is, to get truly better sound, you need to use a powered speaker. I think some of the JBL's may be the way to go.
For cost of these guys, unless you catch them on sale, my advice is to keep looking. We had to return ours. (Thanks to Amazon a really fair & generous return policy).
Definite improvement over stock, and extremely portable.......2007-07-08
My boyfriend bought me this speaker. It is plug-and-play. On my computer, often movies are not loud enough for some reason and with this speaker it's as loud as we could possibly want. Also I can blast my music throughout the house from my laptop - before I could not because it sounded horrible at high volumes.
I'm not much of a sound expert, but I think it sounds pretty good.

Unless your laptop's soundcard is not working, or your speakers are barely hearable I wouldn't recommend this. Odds are your laptop does as much as these speakers.
It is well built, looks resistant and it does a decent job. Do not expect very good quality.
Like it so much bought it for a friend........2007-03-08
I like the sound of mine so much I bought one fo my friend for his birthday. It's not super loud but you can listen to music from your mac, with good quality. Just plug it into your USB port. My friend loves his too. He uses his all the time. Great for travel.
Works perfectly........2007-01-30
Speakers quit working on my laptop and needed something decent and easy - and this is better than that. Good quality considering size and price.
Lots of power in a small package.......2007-01-19
I really thought the reviews for this item were probably a little over-blown, but the speakers have proven me wrong. As someone who primarily uses their laptop on the go, I have been looking for a set of small, easily transportable, decent sounding speakers. These fit into all three categories. I am pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the sound that they put out. If you're strictly an audiophile, you'd be better off investing in a good set of Bose headphones, but if you need something to quickly and efficeintly plug and play so other people can hear what is on your laptop, then you won't find a better buy for your money.
Cool!.......2007-01-13
It was a gift to my daughter and she was thrilled! We were all amazed at
the "out of the box" design and think that the folks at JLab need to expand and create a whole lot of new "out of the box" stuff to make life
easier and more efficient! And, the speaker sounds GREAT!
