Summary: great camera with some nice features u can't find on others
Review: I think one nice feature about this camera is its compatibility with an external flash. For many 35mm enthusiast, an external flash is a must-have to provide sufficient lighting from different angles. I bought a Vivitar 2000 external flash and used its PC sync cord to plug into the DC4800 terminal, it worked out nicely. Now you don't have to settle for front lighting all the time from the built-in flash, instead, you can have bounce lighting, left and right lighting, etc. Try it and you will love the result.

Summary: Seemed good at first, then the DC4800 went DOWN HILL!!
Review: Before this camera I owned a Canon S10 (GREAT CAMERA). This time I went looking for a 3.1 Meg Pixel camera. This Kodak seemed good at first, but below 3.1 all the picture quality seemed fuzzy (not clear at all like the Canon. Then after 3 wks of use the on/off switch went (perhaps after 300 pictures).Bottom line I am not happy with the camera at all and would recommend NOT buying one.

Summary: Kodak & Cameras...
Review: ...I have found the specifications for this camera to be false (as a result of exhaustive testing). Most high and low numbers (f/stops and lens sizes in mm) are exaggerated. The only thing it does well is take pictures of fruit bowls and [use] up electricity. It has no freeze frame due to excessive high available light required by the CCD. Blurred shots at the picture element level are the norm, sharpness and pixelation are rarely seen do to the low resolution and magnification of the CCD,
which likes to run hot. The camera only takes one jpeg mega byte in ideal light. It will produce a tiff nine mega byte that is of lesser quality (saturation artifacts). Using this logic
a million dollars is actually nine million, right ?
Without f/1.8 your better off with one of their disposables. The Auto Focus firmware reduces all shutter speeds to still life in low light or anything less than bright daylight. Running three strobes on a tripod and dragging a 12Volt battery with inverter to provide power seems a little excessive.

Summary: Wow!!
Review: Purchased this camera as a gift for Christmas and it's wonderful! It produces quality professional photos without much skill needed. The various color and black & white modes are great for everyday use. Has a huge array of shutter speeds to capture some great night shots. Great camera for anyone from professional to novice!

Summary: Get it!
Review: Very fine camera for the newbie. With the SINGLE exception of low-light photography, this camera excels in all areas. Of note, this camera is rugged. I've had it for 6 months and dropped it from waist height on asphalt (it also skidded across 3 lanes of traffic on it's bottom), linoleoum and an oak hardwood floor and it did not so much as discharge the battery.
Incredible. Most pixel bang for the buck and the outdoor/natural light shots are breathtaking. The camera also has a multitude of professional 35mm SLR type functions for those that know what the heck they are for.

Summary: easy to use
Review: One of the problems with cameras and electronics in general is the lack of simplicity. So home runs in the electronics business (like the Imac and the Palm Pilot) try to keep it simple through thoough design and knowing what comsumers want.
Kodak makes this not only easy to use, but fun. Most people who buy a camera end up with features they never use and don't bother to learn. Kodak gives you the features you want, and makes software to make things accessible to the average camera user who wants wonderful pictures right away and the ability to spread them around.
This camera is what 90% of camera buyers are really looking for - but they end up with something else too often

Summary: Great Camera -- Not Why No Buzz
Review: I've had mine for about 7 months now and really like it. I can't add much to the other reviews here, other than a question: why is there so little coverage of this camera around? It really seems to be the forgotten stepchild. of

Summary: A great digital camera
Review: I bought one in March and liked it ever since. It's small, light and easy to use. It gives you many controls over the settings. I'm no photography expert at all, so I never used those fully manual settings. But it's comforting to know that they're there. You have more options to save pictures, from uncompressed TIFF to 0.8MP, 2.1MP and 3.1MP JPG(high compression, medium compression and etc). This makes me feel better than those ambiguous "good, fine, best" grades used in other digital cameras. I did have some grainy pictures but after I set white balance to auto, everything is fine. I used it on a 10 day trip along with two 128M CF cards and a quick charger. It worked perfectly well. Well, I wish I could have more CF cards. Fortunately my friends brought a laptop with him. The pictures were sharper and clearer than those taken by a Fuji 6800. This camera works especially well outdoor under strong light. The battery life is good too. It can handle about 100 pictures with flash on.
Here're my recommendations:
1. buy a lens cap cord
2. buy a quick charger set which also includes a battery. The quick charger is very convenient and it takes less than an hour to fully charge a drained battery.
3. buy at least 256 MB CF cards if you're out for a trip. It will allow you to take about 260 pictures (equivalent to 10 rolls of film) using 3.1MP low compression mode.

Summary: excellent picture quality
Review: Super nice product! Though 3.1 MP seems too much for viewing picture on monitor, its performance is absolutely among the best. I like its long time exposure functionality to take natural picture in dark surroundings.
This is all what you need for a nice digital camera.
weekness: flash is not powerful and batteries don't last long enough when LCD is on.

Summary: Very versatile and user friendly.
Review: I bought this camera in March prior to a trip to Germany. I didn't get a chance to use it too much prior to the trip so I took most of my pictures with my film camera. I used the camera a lot during the summer and got very comfortable with it. When I went to Rome last month I used the Kodak for most of my pictures. I was very impressed with the quality of the pictures, the number of hight quality pictures I could get on a smart card in the compressed mode and most of all its versatility, especially taking indoor pictures inside the large churches. A flash would be useless in those circumstances. I got really nice pictures using just the available light. Even got interior pictures of the Sistine Chapel without flash before the guard stopped me.
I am very pleased with the camera and recommend it to anyone who is looking for more than a point and shoot camera.
