Summary: Great Camera
Review: Resolution quality is fantastic for the Amazon.com price. It comes with battery charger which is a must. I print great 8x10 pictures. If you want to take many high resolution picture, order an extra memory card.

Summary: Kodak's DC280 is a five-star digital camera!
Review: I did extensive research on digital cameras and all fingers pointed to the Kodak DC280! I've only had this camera for a few weeks, but I'm already certain that I made a great choice! It's so simple to use and the resolution quality is fantastic! I've e-mailed several photos to friends and they are all amazed at how clear and sharp they are! All of the reviews I read spoke of the wonderful resolution (that's what made me decide on this camera) and they were right!!! The photos download quickly (via USB). The camera controls are a snap to use. The instruction manual is easy to read. I alternate between two sets of rechargeable batteries and have no 'battery life problems.' The DC280 is similar in size and weight to my regular (35 mm) camera. So far, the only 'negative' thing I can say about this camera is that the LCD window does get constantly smudged by my nose when looking through the viewfinder -- but it's really no big deal. Bottom line, it's a terrific camera! I have a lot of fun with it! If you're looking for a moderately-priced digital camera, look into the DC280. I think you'll be glad you did!

Summary: 30-Something DigiCam Grrl
Review: I've wanted a good digicam for several years now and bought the DC280 in May after doing a lot of research. I really had my eye on the Sony Mavica, but the picture quality just didn't cut it compared to my little Kodak. I LOVE THIS CAMERA! It's super easy to use and takes great low and high res images. Do yourself a favor and get at least a 32MB Flashcard and you will be one happy camper. The only downside to this camera is low battery life, but an extra set of rechargeables solves that problem. The USB connection is great and super-fast. This is a purchase that I am very, very happy with. It was worth the wait and research effort!

Summary: Best Buy in the World of Digicams!
Review: After doing some thorough research I decided to purchase this camera. It has several features which make it a great camera: sharp images, great colours, very easy to use, comes with good software,small and light so great for active travelers like myself. It is comparable to the DC 290 but the price is much more attractive. I would recommend buying an extra memory card (at least 16 MB).

Summary: Great camera at a great price.
Review: I've had this camera for about two months and have taken over 500 pictures and couldn't be happier with its performance. Pictures taken outdoors were exceptional in all respects (color, clarity and detail). Pictures taken indoors are always more challenging due to lighting conditions, but the DC-280 has more than enough exposure compensation adjustments for your use that there is really no reason for bad picture quality. It does take a little practice to take consistently good indoor pictures, but it has a great owners/instruction manual that is very easy to read and follow.

The rechargable batteries are a must with digital cameras as these cameras draw a lot of current with the LCD monitor activated. I would also recommend purchasing a larger Compact Flash Card, as the one sold with the camera is only 8Mb. I purchased an additional 32Mb card which now gives me enough capicity for many pictures (over 200 at a medium resolution).

I have taken a number of pictures at the highest resolution setting and proceeded to print them on my HP Photo quality printer using Photo quality paper and have been delighted with the results. I print most of them in the 5" X 7" format size and the results have been amazing with virtually no visable pixellation. It is very hard to tell these photos from conventional film photography. I have also printed a number 8" X 10" pictures with great results.

This is a great camera for a great price and it has my hearty recommendation.

Summary: Great Digital Camera
Review: I bought this camera in February for a trip to Europe. The pictures were sharp. The colors were accurate. Unfortunately, I needed service, but Kodak did a fast, great job. I bought the 128MB compact flash card, which gives me about 200 pictures in top quality.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Camera, but one flaw
Review: This camera is a great camera. smaller then it looks on the box, but has great flexibility and features built in. Produces excellent quality pictures, the one flaw however that I've noticed is that when taking pictures in doors in a low light level *without* the flash, it tends to blur the image if it's either a motion picture or you move it before it's finished. This only seems to occur without the flash (I was taking horse action pictures and didn't want to scare them) and this seems to dissapear at around 1/90 of a second exposure time. Just thought I'd be critical :) Other then that I find this a great camera!

Summary: Great product ¿ but beware Windows NT/Dell glitches
Review: Not much to add to the very favorable reviews here: as a novice photographer, I'm delighted with my new 280. Take it out of the box, scan through the instructions, point, zoom and shoot. The digital zoom works fine, and the special effects (especially black and white) are fun.

Two features of digital photography are an absolute joy: first, the ability to review your shot right away, and discard it if it's not perfect (leading to much higher quality end results without wasting lots of money on film); and second, the way to drop the flashcard from the camera straight into a PDA (I have an HP Jornada running Pocket PC) for an instant pocket photo collection. This passes the stringent test of "would have been science fiction just a little while ago".

Here's the word of warning: I have a Dell laptop running Windows NT. The connection from the camera to the PC is very erratic. Kodak's helpline support was very good - they advise lowering the transfer rate on the COM1 port by forcing it not to find the camera (ie disconnecting it and waiting for the dialog box). This does work, but means you have to wait a long time for your photos. NT does not support USB, so investing in a card reader is one solution; another is to drop the flashcard into the PDA and transfer from the PDA to the PC. Hardly satisfactory - a shame to let down such a great product this way.

Summary: DC280 in Southern Africa
Review: An excellent camera which works well in African conditions. User friendly, light weight, convenient. Instructions suitable for even a computor illiterate husband. I use it for business and pleasure. My only complaint is with Kodak who do not have an internet sales service to South Africa. Amazon.com does not offer all the accessories. Come on chaps wake up to an enormous market in Southern Africa - we are 1st world!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Camera
Review: I purchased this camera back in May, and I love it. Easy to use and well worth the money...My children love using the camera which is very easy for them to use. One suggestion, you need to purchase a larger memory card, other then that don't wait any longer........PURCHASE IT NOW !
