Rating: Summary: Top quality, easy to use Review: This is a great camera with all the fun features. I especially like that you can control resolution and compression level separately. I like to change resolution without dropping quality due to higher compression. I am very satisfied with this camera and would definitely buy it again. Highly recommend!
Rating: Summary: Excellent camera for hobbyists and business Review: This is my first digital camera and I really like it. The buttons and dials are easy to figure out but if you're confused, the manual is well written. It offers different resolutions and simple, fun special effects (sepia, b&w, etc)It's small enough to be easy to carry but still has zoom features. Altogether, a wonderful camera.
Rating: Summary: Great Camera, Great Features, Easy Use Review: This is the best camera I have seen for the price. It has tons of features. I would highly recommend getting a Compact Flash Card Reader, so you don't drain your batteries on the camera xfering. Also the Kodak Batteries are the best I have ever used. I would recommended getting the 2 hour rapid charger kit, you will get another set of batteries and be able to charge one set and use another.
Rating: Summary: Best Picture Quality but WATCH OUT! Review: This is the perfect camera for indoor shots but without the option of additional lenses, you cannot get close enough to your outdoor pics to make a good image. Also, the camera does some focus touchups but if your like me where you overly take a lot of images, and use a clikdrive, this focus option no longer takes place and you need to stay as still as a tri-pod. All in all, EXCELLENT camera, Excellent Picture Quality, but if you have the money, get a kodak model with lense options. Dont forget to check out photonet and get real prints mailed to your house of your images.. I coudn't believe they were framable prints!
Rating: Summary: Only wish they still made them like this... Review: This was my first and only digital camera that I purchased as a display item will I was working at CompUSA. If I remember correctly, at the time this camera was over $300 but I got it for $50.
I have no idea how old this camera was when I bought it, but despite that, it lasted an additional 3 1/2 years before it stopped working; the battery connections went bad. I took it apart to see if I could fix it, but to no avail.
The 1.3 Megapixels was more than sufficent for me, it took crystal clear pictures everytime. I really enjoyed the LCD screen that showed in real time what the lens was looking at before you shot the picture. It also had a USB slot where you could easily tranfer the pictures to your PC. My only compaint about the camera was that the picture snapping was not instantaneous.
This camera felt sturdy and built with quality materials. This camera had been dropped a few times, but it still functioned without any problems. I have taken thousands of pictures on this camera, not to mention the possible thousands that were taken before I came to own it, and I have been thourghly suprised with the durablity and quality of this camera.
After my DC240 finally met its demise, I was dissapointed to find that Kodak no longer made cameras like this, instead they make these plastic, cheap looking, cheap feeling cameras that feel no way as sturdy as the DC series. I purchased a DX model a few months after this one died and took it back the next day because I was very dissapointed in the quality of the camera. To this day the DC240 has been my only digital camera and I haven't had one since. I will have to turn to EBAY to get something from the DC series, because unfortunately companies no longer make them like they used to.
Rating: Summary: Easy to use, excellent picture quality -- Review: This was my first digital camera, and I'm extremely happy with it. I'm not an overly technical person -- my previous 35mm cameras were basic "point and shoot" models, with zoom capability. But I found the DC240 extremely easy to set up and use, and I especially like the near-macro capability (you can get within 6-8" of your subject and still have a crystal clear picture.). The on-camera menu is superb -- colorful, very easy to understand -- and I found myself taking good quality shots immediately. I also purchased an extra 8MB compact flash memory "card" which came in handy during my first extended use (a weekend get-away to a scenic area with lots of attractions). I found it very easy to review my shots and eliminate any that weren't quite what I wanted, instead of wasting the shot and having to wait until I got the film developed to discover that the shot was less than optimal. I managed to get a total of 49 color pictures of PRINT quality (as opposed to email quality -- you have a choice on a picture-by-picture basis) on the two memory cards (total of 16MB) in this first extended use. I also managed to take the pix, review them several times, connect to my home computer, and upload the entire contents of both chips to my hard drive before the first batteries (AA -- easy and inexpensive to puchase) ran out. Not bad! My last 35mm camera used to go through expensive N batteries every two rolls of film. All in all, I'm really thrilled with this camera, and may never go back to 35mm film cameras again!
