Summary: Nice Camera,affordable price...charger problems..
Review: Great camera when it comes to photos or price but the international charger does not work up to expectation. It like a conventional charger does not completely charge the battery, rather it switches off just after 10 minutes or so and you gotta manually start it up again (for another 10 minutes...) . The manual mentions that slowly this 10 min thing will increase....but what the hell!!
The transfer software does not work when you have anything less than 90% charged battery... so either carry loads of DuraCells or be patient and do the 10 minute drill....
(Though i didn't mind getting the travel case along with the camera at this price !)
OVerall Satisfactory

Summary: Simple to Use Even A Child Could Figure Out How
Review: I am not a professional photographer and never will be. My life is very active and I needed a camera that is simple to use. If you are looking for a camera that will take beautiful pictures and not have to read the whole manual before to do it, this is the camera for you! The menu is very easy to use and it is a great point and shoot camera if you don't want to mess with changing everything. This camera has been used sometimes daily because I also list on Ebay. The 4.0 megapixels really give it that extra boost in quality pic taking. I also have the Kodak DC3400 and this was an upgrade. Both cameras are great!

Summary: Good pictures ...Lousy batteries and Amazon return policy
Review: I am very disappointed with this camera's battery system. I have now been through Two easy share docks and two NiCad batteries and still cannot get a prolonged recharge on the batteries. Yes I followed the recommended full charge/discharge/recharge sequence in the beginning and still get a low battery signal when the dock says that it is fully charged. Apparently the battery itself is charged but the camera,for some reason, doesn't recognise this. (I took the battery to a camera shop and they tested the charge on the batteries.) Sometimes if I turn the camera off and then on after a few minutes, it will be OK. The unreliability is about to get me to give up and get another. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't take returns after 30 days ....

Summary: Best 4MP Camera for price
Review: I bought this camera 3 weeks ago from Amazon (new) with the travel kit. Initially I was looking for a good 3 MP camera but when I looked at this one with great price tag, I couldn't resist. I must say I am impressed with various features it offers for the price. Ok, if you compare with other higher priced 4 MP cameras, it may not offer some of the advanced features but ask yourself if you are ever going to use those features. Todate I have taken more than 100 pictures, with various settings & I must say they are amazing. Camera is easy to operate & LCD, although relatively small, is very clear. Also, I still have not changed batteries even after using LCD screen for most of my pictures, so I don't understand the fuss about digital cameras eating too much battery. I would highly recommend it to anybody looking for camera with more megapixels for less price and easy to operate.

Summary: Best Value for a 4.0 Megapixel Camera
Review: I dare you to try to find another fantastic 4.0 Megapixel digital camera at this price! I am in love with my Kodak dx4900! I purchased this camera when I found a price that was too phenomenal to pass up. I am so pleased with the performance of this camera, ease of use and the function range available. First, let me address the ease of use. After switching on the on/off button you have 3 modes to select from via a dial setting: picture review mode (allowing you to view all pictures currently stored on your compact flash card), capture/picture taking mode and setup mode. All modes allow you to choose many available options (I will address these later), if you choose to do so, by selecting from menus. However, fabulous results can be obtained without selecting from various options this camera has to offer, allowing the user to snap a picture quickly. Next, you can utilize the two zoom buttons to get up to 2 times closer to your subject (by using the telephoto option in the picture taking mode, you may use the digital mode to get up to 3 times closer to your subject). After your options are selected you are ready to snap a picture which is immediately viewable on the lcd screen. You are then given the option to delete your picture if you are not satisfied. The picture is automatically stored on the flash card if you do not chose to delete. Many other digital cameras on the market are not novice friendly and require several settings before you are ready to snap your favorite subject. Within the Capture Mode, the following menu options are available: light exposure compensation (controling the amount of light allowed into the camera), white balance (correcting the amount of white desired in the picture in different light settings), color mode (controlling color tones), quality (picture resolution), exposure metering (the amount of light entering the lens) ,sharpness (highlight or blend of the edges of the subject), ISO speed (camera's sensitivity to light), shutter speed and date and time stamp. In the capture mode, a menu button is pressed to pull up the menu for these options and the user uses an up and down arrow to scroll through the options and choose the settings. Within the Review Mode, the following menu options are available: magnify(zoom in on portions of the picture for viewing purposes), delete picture, protect (preventing special pictures from being deleted), slide show (displaying all pictures on the flash card in a slide show fashion), print order (used with a Kodak Personal Picture Maker printer) and picture information (displaying the date each picture was taken). In the review mode also, a menu button is pressed to pull up the menu for these options and the user uses an up and down arrow to scroll through the options and choose the settings. Within the Setup Mode, the following menu options are available: power save (allowing you to chose your balance of battery performance with camera performance), digital zoom (telephoto option), camera sounds (various camera function "beeps"), date/time set, video out(chosing the video out standard available in your area), language, format card (used to erase or format a corrupted compact flash card), reset user settings (reset to factory defaults) and about this camera (displaying name and model of your camera). Again, a menu button is pressed to pull up the menu for these options and the user uses an up and down arrow to scroll through the options and choose the settings. Software is included with this camera allowing you to upload, view and print your pictures from your Windows or Macintosh based computer. Pictures can be uploaded directly from your camera via an included cord hooked to an available USB port on your computer or a Kodak Easy Share docking station can be purchased allowing the user to both easily upload pictures while also recharging the digital camera batteries simultaneously. The Kodak Easy Share dock also requires a USB port for uploading capabilities. As previously mentioned, pictures taken by your camera are stored on a compact flash card inserted in the side of the camera. Included with your purchase is a 16 MB card. Additional flash cards can be purchased in various storeage sizes to allow for an unlimited amount of pictures to be taken. This camera requires two AA lithium batteries (included with your purchase are two non-rechargeable). Rechargeable batteries can be purchased allowing you to use both the Kodak Easy Share Camera Dock or a Kodak battery recharger, extending the life of your batteries. Also included with your purchase is a 95 page user's guide that is simple to understand and quite informative. Kodak also offers additional support through a web address, fax customer support number and telephone customer support number.

Summary: Easy Share is Easy to use
Review: I got this camera for my husband for Christmas. It is great. The camera is easy to use, and with the camera dock, you just push a button and the pictures are loaded onto your computer. It takes excellent pictures and you can edit out whatever you don't like.

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: Digital Camera's Old Story Remain....
Review: I have bought the Kodak DX4900 last week. Here are my PROs and CONs: PROs: The picture quality is excellent and rock!. The camera's firmware and software interface are great. It is really high tech speaking for its electronic and servo/mechanical systems. The Kodak software (download the latest!) is very friendly and does the job. The photos can also be accessed via a DRIVE LETTER in MS Windows..just like another hard-drive or so.. then remove it without having to un-mount the device.. just unplug the USB cable (no docking station yet for me).. The camera's weight is ok.. The travel kit is nice to have.. CONs: The speed (next shot) problem remain though with digital cameras regardless (I'm using a 256MB Compact Flash). You will have to wait for more than 5 secs in 4MP mode to get the next shot. 2.2MP mode is still slow. It seems that the camera to memory interface is the problem regardless of the brand/make.. I have 2 digital cameras and they are the same.. Overall, this is a great toy for getting excellent photos.. just do not expect to capture many shots of a super sonic UFO.. You get one shot... or maybe two..

Summary: you can get better for the price
Review: i have used the kodak for about 1.5 years. in terms of ease of use this camera tops all others, but unfortunately, in terms of picture quality, it falls far short of all 4mp types and some 3mp types. I have taken pix professionally and have used film-type as well as digital type camers for over 25 years. No digital camera made today can equal a moderately priced film camera, but the convenience cannot be beat. The kodak's all appear to come with plastic lenses, instead of precision-ground glass, and this handicap seriously inhibits the quality of the photo. Consumer Reports also mentioned the same thing about this model and noted that many 3mp cameras exceed the photo quality of the kodak.
pix taken with an olympus 3mp far exceed the kodak in quality on my system. the camera has been to the shop once and the kodak service staff have been extremely helpful, with a turnaround of 6 days -- not too shabby in my opinion. also, the camera is virtually idiot-proof for ease of photos, with all settings readily available. downloading the images to computer is a snap via USB; ... for casual snaps and for places where weight is a concern, the camera is recommended -- with a carry case. these things are incredibly fragile. buy an extended warranty anywhere it is offered. for the same cost, though, you would be better off buying an olympus or a canon. ... for the lens is what makes the picture -- sony and hp just do not have the lens-making experience to make a good product.

Summary: High megapixel, but economical
Review: I just got this camera, and so far love it. I moved up from a 1.5 MP camera that I bought just over a year ago for about the same price. If you are new to digital photography, my one recommendation is it is worth spending a little more to get higher quality output (i.e more MP or megapixels). This camera meets that recommendation and is easy to use. Great photos and nice software to edit them if or when needed.
