Pros: Easy, amazing features, great bargain...
Cons: Still not "cheap"

While not an avid photographer, I do enjoy the art and every now and again find myself seeking out new and better alternatives to my current 2-year-old Olympus C-3000. One such alternative showed up amongst my dear mother’s Christmas gifts and after ...

Pros: 10x optical zoom lens, excellent resolution, Easy Transfer of Pictures
Cons: That big lens does add to the camera's weight

Full of that “wow” factor, the Kodak EasyShare DX6490 is a 4.0 megapixel camera with a 10x optical zoom that is fun to use, cool to look at, and all together, an excellent digital camera. The EasyShare’s 10x optical zoom is amazing ...

Pros: Amazing functionality, but also very easy to use!
Cons: Electronic stabilization is missing and would have been helpful for the longest focal lengths.

For years I've been using my Olympus OM-2 Single Lens Reflex film camera, usually with a 75-150 mm zoom lens. It's a great camera, but pretty heavy, and it preceded the days of auto focus. It's becoming a bit obsolete, so I've been watching the digital ...

Pros: Superb telephoto image quality, vivid and accurate color tones and a very good display.
Cons: No filter attachment and a single compression format.

My wife and I have been photography enthusiasts over the years, but we refused to switch from a film based SLR to a digital camera. We felt that the newer media had been inferior with print enlargements which was very important to us. We like to print ...

Pros: Stunning pictures! Many more features than expected! Nice lens, Sharp, big, clear LCD and viewer.
Cons: This camera likes tripods! Shutter release times are slow at times. Camera needs a bag.

IT took me 4 years to finally decide to give up my really nice 35mm film camera... So my research on which Digital Camera to buy began 60 days ago. I had no idea what to buy but I knew what I wanted. What I discovered was that "KODAK", a film maker, is ...

Pros: Excellent value for money (around £300), very well designed.
Cons: No hand strap, only 16Mb internal memory.

I have owned this camera since December, and I've found it to be a very nice piece of photographic equipment. When my camera arrived, this is what was in the box: The camera Neck Strap Interface Cables: USB and Video Lens Cap Rechargeable ...

Pros: A step up from point and click.
Cons: Not professional, although the closest you can get in the amateur range.

Many years ago, I had one of the basic Kodak DX3600 Digital Cameras, and I was very impressed with the quality of the pictures, the ease of use, and the overall thought that went into the design. Little by little, I have been educating my husband on all ...

Pros: Easy to use; outstanding image quality; great lens
Cons: Cannot disable power-saver timers or automatic white balance

We bought the DX6490 primarily to shoot pictures of consumer products (groceries and the like) under studio conditions -- definitely not a typical application. Many of our criteria would also apply to hobbyists like model makers who take static shots ...

Pros: Photo quality, ease of uploading photos via the dock.
Cons: Shutter lag, slow auto focus, 10X zoom impossible to use without blurry photos resulting.

The Kodak DX6490 is made of plastic (like most are today), and is rather light in my opinion, considering it has such a big lens. The camera itself feels somewhat odd in my hands due to the shape of the body, but with time it is possible to get used to ...

Pros: 10x zoom, large display, manual or automatic operation, excellent battery life, simple menus
Cons: Delay and display blackout between shots, can't use filters, can't adjust compression, lost pictures

This camera has a lot going for it starting with the 10x optical zoom. This comes in very handy when capturing outdoor events and for producing candid shots. Battery life is excellent as well, and that combined with the comfortable form factor make ...

Pros: Excellent, sharp 10X zoom lens. Loads of custom features. Connects to Kodak Printer Dock
Cons: Somewhat slow writing to memory.

If you want a digital camera that does everything well, the DX6490 is the one. I wanted a single camera with an extremely long zoom lens so that I never had to wish for another lens. All-in-one and ready to go. In bright light the camera has a ...

Pros: Image quality, long lens and features are hard to beat at the price.
Cons: None

Having read reviews and spent several months looking for a replacement for my Digital Kodak DC265 I decided on the Kodak dx6490, and am happy that I did so! Having experienced 4 years and several thousand excellent photos from my Kodak 265, I knew ...

Pros: huge 2-inch LCD, long battery life, amazing resolution, 10X zoom, standard flash-sync port.
Cons: Huge and ugly, no manual focus, no charging without dock, no zoom in video mode.

Kodak has completely baffled me on this one. The Schneider lens is amazing, and the electronics take advantage it, giving an amazing tonal range, the different levels of black and shadows and grey are phenomenal. I have 4 other digital cameras and ...

Pros: Easy to use, long battery life, great software.
Cons: shutter lag, difficult to take low-light pictures

This review is for all the camera novices. I can't tell you a thing about the technical aspects. I can say that this is a great camera for someone who is new to digital photography. The camera is extremely easy to use. The battery life is very long. ...
