Summary: Very versatile for the web and family/personal photos.
Review: I have had this camera for about a year now and have become the photographer of the family even though others have much more expensive equipment and I really don't know anything about photography. The detail in the photos along with the color are excellent. Its alse easy enough to use that you don't have to read the booklet. The little LCD sreen is not great but it is useful. It will also print out an impressive 8X10 even though 5x7 is where it really shines. It also does a good job with photos to put on the web whether you are trading pics with distant friends/family or selling items on the net or auctions. The close-up feature is really great to show detail when selling items as detail helps bring more money when selling/auctioning. This is just a great camera and now there are many opportunities to get it for a lot less than cameras that don't really do much more for the simple photographer.

Summary: Nice, with reservations
Review: The DC280 is a nice little camera, but the results I get from it aren't any better than those from oy old DC210 that it replaced. In fact, I find the autofocus to be less accurate, or at least harder to use than with the 210. And, alas, it STILL eats batteries by the ton.

Summary: Lean, Mean Photo Taking Machine
Review: It is fair to say that this camera is by no means for the proffessional photographer today. Taken in mind the stunning results this camera is capable of producing, its ease of use, and its usable range of features Im sure it can be a great asset to any first timer digi-cam user. Not only does this camera look good but so do the prints. O.K the feartures are a bit limited, and the zoom could be more powerfull, but consdering the price, this camera offers a lot. Unlike some cameras you dont need to go out and buy loads of accersories, the 8mb picture card included is enough to get the snap happy photographer started, and rechargable battries and charger are also included. I would personnally reccomend this camera to any digi-cam virgin!

Summary: Poor battery storage
Review: This camera look good in the page, but it's big and the manufacture is poor. The lock of the battery storage was weak and broke suddenly. Also I bought the zoom, but the pictures I get are really bad.
Kodak Support Unit in Perú also provide me a bad customer service. They pretend to charge me US$ 400 for travel expenses to comply with its guarrante.

Summary: great camera but could be improved
Review: This camera takes very good pictures and by itself is very easy to use. However, the linking software of the PC side is not very user friendly. One complaint is the optical zoom on the camera is a bit weak. Having the rechargeable battery and charger included, fast USB link, and both PAL and NTSC output format was what made me decided to buy it since I like traveling overseas. Otherwise I was strongly considering the Olympus and Nikon models.

Summary: Terrific camera - easy to use - fabulous pictures
Review: We bought this camera several years ago and have taken it with us on two trips abroad and many trips around the USA. I'm not a camera maven but I've just had a terrific experience with this camera. Our pictures come out clear and sharp. It is easy to use. The color is great. The camera feels good in my hands. Mine came with a 32 mb card and I bought one extra 32mb card. I can travel for weeks at a time without ever worrying about "film." I've even dropped the camera by accident a few times without breaking it. The flash works nicely in a variety of light. If I had to find one thing to criticize I would pick the zoom lens but I have yet to see a competitive product with a better one. In short, I've taken thousands of pictures with the camera without a hitch. In fact, I usually have a big smile on my face when I see the results. And my friends and family do too.

Summary: Good camera, download problems
Review: I have had this camera for over 6 months now and I am happy with the pictures that I have taken. One major problem is with downloading into the computer with this; It ususlly takes several tries and many times just hangs up after a few pictures when it does down load. There are usually errors like no pictures in camera when the flashcard is full. The problem seems to be with the "twain"transferring pictures,That is the only way. No one can figure what the problem is but it seems to be the software that came with the camera and the Kodak software that is needed no matter what digital imaging software is used. (I tried 6 different types with all the same problems). Out of frustration I bought an HP photosmart 1250 photo printer that I just plug the flashcard into. With that I usually get outstanding results; the pictures look just like I took them with a Nikon SL 35mm camera.If I could only get the computer download to work as well I could not ask for more. For now I do not download unless I have lots of time to Keep trying. Therefore I dont do it very often anymore, I just print them directly with the printer.

Summary: Great Beginner Digital Camera
Review: I teach photography and thought this would be a great digital camera to introduce to those hesitant to jump into the digital age. I have owned since November and have taken over 300 pictures. My review follows. The great--- 1. Picture quality is awesome!!! 2. The weight of the camera feels sturdy. Whereas, some higher priced models weigh the size of a piece of paper. The good--- 1. Storage with the generic memory card is good. Invest in a larger memory card and your set. 34MB is perfect. (About 60 more images) 2. Battery life has not been a problem at all. I did buy another set of rechargable batteries because of other customer reviews. The average--- 1. Zooming in to objects can be somewhat limited but is adequate. This product rates 4.5 in my book!

Summary: Quality and Value
Review: Using the rechargable battery that came with the camara, I took more than 330 pictures, maybe 50 of them used flash. The battery still not dried up before I quit! I own this baby for more than 6 month. Yesterday I bought a 128 MB compactflash memory from amazon. Now I realize it is too much for this camara. It can store 206 pictures with 1800 X 1200 resolution. Boy! The only drawback of this camara is the delay between shots. First 3 only delay 3 seconds, but after that, needs about 25 seconds to process. Other than that, it is perfect.

Summary: Great digital camera
Review: Back around Thanksgiving, 2000, I bought this camera through Amazon. I have enjoyed it much and definitely like it better than my wife's 35mm camera. You can develop hardcopy photos 4X6's through Kodak for $ each and they have looked great for me so far. Mostly though I just keep the photos on my computer or send them in emails to friends. 2 Megapixels makes for great looking photos and allows me to crop or re-size them to make jpeg files that fit my 19 inch monitor's resolution and that still look very good. I like it that you can see your photo instantly on the small display screen, although it is pretty small and still hard to see if you caught that smile. Also there are no processing costs or time spent waiting for processing as you can use your USB port. It takes about a second per photo to download to your computer. I did have problems with the USB with my old computer that would cause it to reboot and then work, but now my new Windows2000 PC works excellent with the Kodak camera and USB. The 8MB card that comes with it is too small in storage capacity, and I am planning to get a 32MB very soon. The 8MB card holds at minimum 12 high res photos. There is about a one second delay between when you push the button and when the camera flashes the photo, so you have to wait and hold the camera still so it is not so good for moving objects or sports events. Also the zoom is good but not good enought for the sports events I go to for great distant shots. The zoom lenses broke on my first Kodak 280 and they sent me a new one the same day I sent they old one back. So overall the experience has been very good with this camera and I have alot of great photos to prove it.
