Summary: Beware after warranty!
Review: I enjoyed this camera for the first year. It was bulky, but it was my first digital camera and I enjoyed how easy it was to use. After a year the camera started acting sluggish and buggy. The LCD Screen stopped working, the battery life was sporadic. Sometimes only a three or four shots and it was dead. Talk about missing important photos!! Then one day it locked up on me. Contacted Kodak and for $150 they repaired it. The camera worked well for 2 1/2 months and then I had all of the same problems again. Contacted Kodak and they said sorry the repair warranty is only good for 45 days!! Today I bought a Canon s400 from Amazon. Will not buy from Kodak again!!

Summary: You can do better
Review: Short battery life, limited 2X zoom, small view finder which washes out in bright light. Not a bad camera when I bought it about a year ago, but today "You can do better"

Summary: Kodak DX4900 4MP
Review: I find this camera very easy to use, and am impressed with the quality of the pictures it takes, especially in the larger sizes. The photos are comparable with those taken with much more expensive digital cameras. The only drawback I have found is that it will not take short movies, but the price more than makes up for this.

Summary: Rechargable battery problems
Review: This camera is basically an OK camera, but it has major problems if you plan on using the rechargable batteries that come with the docking station. The battery consistently reads a "false high" reading and claims that the battery is fully charged. I've contacted Kodak about it and they are aware of the problem (funny, they didn't make ME aware of it till I had already bought the camera). Their solution is to charge the battery for roughly 10 minutes at a pop (that being the average time till the charger says it's "full"), take the camera out of the charger for 5 minutes, and repeat this process until you have a combined charge time of 2 hours (for the non-math wizards, that's 12 reps of this process). They CLAIM that, once you do this, the battery will operate correctly (but they LIE..), My battery still will take approximately 15 pictures before going kaput.. The non-rechargable battery works like a champ, but don't believe them about the rechargable batteries giving good results..

Summary: I enjoy using it.
Review: This is my second camera, I find this one easy to use and understand how to use it. I love it, and happy that I am finally taking pictures again.

Summary: Windows XP Problem
Review: I have a different model Kodak camera, however they all use the same EasyShare software. Running Windows XP, I could not get the software to work properly. After several hours on the phone with Kodak tech support, they couldn't get it working either. They said they are aware of the problem. It is now several weeks later and they still don't have a fix. They don't really seem to care either.

It might not be a bad idea to consider other brands, instead of Kodak. Since, if the software won't work properly, then what good is the camera?

Summary: First Dig Cam
Review: This being the first digital camera I have owned I did alot of backgrounding in making my decision. This is definitely a great camera for the money. The directions are easy to follow and the quality of pictures is awesome. I would reccomend this camera for any beginer.

Summary: over rated
Review: this camera in my view is not worth the reviews it has been given.
i bought this camera after reading these good reviews , and wished i paid more attention to the bad ones.
pictures are not 4 meg quality they seem more like 2
2x zoom is just not enough
not very good quality , i was afraid i was going to break it , the first time i put in the batteries and the flash card
i took this camera back almost immediatly

and i bought the fujifilm f-401 instead
now this is a great camera 3x zoom , movie mode some stainless components giving the immpression of a well made little camera
the pictures turned out great and best of all the dock was included. all for the same price as the kodak dx4900
do yourself a favour and check this camera out instead

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Kodak Dx4900
Review: Overall I am very pleased with the camera. The software is easy to use. I purchased the camera dock with the camera, right out of the box, the power supply was defective and after 20 minutes of filling out the required forms & photo copying receipts and sending the old power supply back I recieved a replacement power supply in just a couple of days. In my opinion the rechargable battery that comes with the camera dock is junk, I was only able to take 3 to 4 pictures before going into "Low Battery", purchasing new batteries resolved this problem.
I like to think I did my research on the 4.0 MP cameras and for the price you can't beat it.
