Summary: Good all around camera..
Review: Let me start my review by saying this is an excellent cameraand I would highly recommend it for a beginner like me. I do feel areview should be about the not so bright points however because themanufacture will tell you all the good things for me. To start on thebad list would have to be the battery life. This camer ,and othercamers as I've read, is the battery destroyer. I first took it out ofthe box and right away started to take pictures. (the camera'scontrols are easy to use and well placed) The first set of disposiblebattery's lasted about 35 shots. (or 4 times through the memory cardthat's included, but we'll get to that later.)Lucky for me tho theyinclude a set of rechargeable batteries and the wall charger for them!I was delighted to see that they actualy would include these thingsknowing we (the consumer) would need them later. Second on my "Iwish it was better list" would have to be the memory card. Thecamera comes with a mesily 8mb flash memory card. Let me tell youunless you only want to take about 8-10 picutres this is notenough... Now for some points I really did like about the camera thatI haven't already mentioned. The picutre quality is astonding for theprice. As mentioned before it was very easier to use and well layedout. The software bundle included was easie enuff to use (even thoughI use photoshop 5.5 instead). The USB connect was not only fast butstable. I would recomend however that you buy a USB flash reader aswell so you don't have to leave the juice gobbling camera on whileyour transfuring photos.All in all I just don't think you can dobetter for your money than this camera even with the small mem cardand battery issues.

Summary: Get it now before it's gone.
Review: As this camera has been replaced by the 3400, it has fallen in price, but not in performance. In fact, it performs as well as its replacement, and costs a good bit less. For a 2 meg camera, it offers a great deal. It is well built, has great optics, a 2X true zoom, decent battery use, USB support and enough user controls to make it an acceptable camera for a semi-serious photographer. The resolution is more than adequate for internet apps and good enough for printing clear 8 x 10s. It is also very sturdy. I think that while supplies last, it is the best 2 meg around and would be an awesome Christmas present for almost anyone.

Summary: Great Camera!
Review: This was our first digital camera, and we did a lot of shopping around before we bought. I love it. The menus are very straight forward and easy to follow. I like that you can take a picture the old fashion way, or you can use the LCD screen, which is great for close-up pictures. The LCD helps you decide what picture to keep and what pictures to delete. There are nice features such as, borders, black and white or sepia tone and date stamping. And I can't forget the picture quality. We are very happy with the sharpness of pictures. Excellent color pictures. If you are looking for a 2 mega pixel camera, with a great price, you will love this one!

Summary: First Digital Camera
Review: This is my first digital camera and I am very pleased. I alsobought a H.P. printer for under ($). You loose some resolution with digital , but the color is astounding. More importantly you can crop and fix up pictures so that the photos you do print ( I do 2 on an 8 1/2 by 11) are perfect for a photo album. I also get clear plastic sleeves ( Office Max) that have holes for binder and protect picture.Also there is an abundance of on-line storage sites to park pictures you don't print ( Freedrive.com is one site). There is a learning curve with the software ( must save photos in jpeg format to e-mail), but it is not that difficult. The USB download capability is very important and makes downloading get done in under a minute. I had some fear after I bought it that I wouldn't be able to figure everything out, but I am very pleased one month into my ownership. You will need battery recharger and 4 extra batteries to rotate into camera, but this is not a significant cost. Again, the color resolution is outstanding and the ability to edit the photos ( crop, enhance, lighten or darken) allows for a lot of creativity. I am having a great time with it.

Summary: Great quality, great price!
Review: For the reliability and capacity of this camera, the pricecan't be beat. We bought this ... last year. We use it with ourWindows 98 machine, and the USB installation was a snap. We use it totake a lot of pictures for our personal website. The ultimatetestimonial; I showed it to my Dad - a short time later, he bought theexact same model.

Summary: Very "user friendly"
Review: I just received my DC280 and am very pleased....it was really easy to set up and I even found an interactive tutorial on the Kodak web site. I also bought the viking Intelliflash USB Flash Memory Reader so I don't have to keep plugging in my camera to upload pictures.

Summary: Great digital camera for your money
Review: The Kodak DC280 is very easy to use. This is my first digital camera and I had read and heard that they could be difficult to use. In no way was this true. All you need to do is just follow the instructions and it works like a charm. I use Windows ME and although the software that comes with the camera does not support it all I had to do was go to the Kodak site and after a quick download of the ME software it works without a hitch. The Adobe PhotoDeluxe software that comes with the camera is also easy to install, has many features for changing your pictures, fixing mistakes, adding special effects, etc. Once I got everything installed I was able to take a picture, download it and enjoy it all in less time than it will take to read this review and thats on my FIRST try! This camera is easy to use, has lots of great features, comes with very usable software and just overall makes it easy for the Digital Camera Newbie.

Summary: Great Camera / Great Value from Amazon
Review: I shopped extensively all over the internet and could not find a better value than this camera from Amazon. It takes wonderful pictures, even on the lowest resolution settings. It's very easy to use and compact. I had a USB conflict with the camera but Kodak Tech. Support resolved it expeditiously. The only drawbacks are minor.. Kodak could have spent a little more time on the lense cap design, as it comes off easily and a regular neck strap would be better than the hand strap. My recommendations are to upgrade to at least an additional 20mb flash card, consider an extra set of rechargeable batteries and possibly a card reader. Even without the above, the camera functions solidly. You can even view your photos on your TV in a slide show with the provided cable! I would not hesitate to recommend this camera to anyone.

Summary: Good resolution and beautiful menues, useless for my work!
Review: I thought I had read all information about this product prior to purchase it. A good thing: its very nice LCD and menu interface. Two bad things: USB seems no working on my Intel D815EEAAL motherboard, and it renders awfull colors and details when trying to take pictures of flowers and plants (that's why I bought it). Thou its macro feature is fine, it seems the camera cannot balance colors when the composition is very colorful. It has customizable and automatic white balance option that behave weird, and your setting is not saved on the preferences, it changes to "automatic white balance" each time you turn it on. I think its a great camera for fancy pictures, portraits or any image with diversified colors.

Summary: Good camera, only a few minor nits
Review: I agree with most of the positive reviews of this camera. This camera gave me good results on a recent trip to Europe. * the battery life is just fine if you are good about turning off the camera. I took over 80 photos before I needed to change the batteries, and was not too stingy with the review mode. That is not great but certainly not as bad as I was led to beleive. * the little screen does get smudged with your nose a lot, unless you are super careful. Get used to it. * The software isn't that great, but there are a lot of shareware or freeware programs out there to look manipulate pictures with. * The camera is not very good for action shots, but that was not a major issue with me. * the camera is a little bit big, compared to say the Canon Elph, but not really too big or heavy. This camera is very good value for the money, I might even rate it higher depending on the relative price of a few other cameras. Overall I was extremely pleased with the quality of the pictures from my DC 280, and my wife was quite impressed with the picture quality as well. I only wish it had a little more optical zoom ability, a burst mode, and more memory.
