Summary: Great Camera
Review: As my family's main photgrapher, I always wanted to buy a digital camera. The problem was that it was too expensive. Fortunateyl, Chirstmas puts love in your heart and takes cash out of your wallet, and my parents got me one. Boy, was I surpised by how great it was.This may well be the best digital csmera ever. The zoom is great, and it's easy to use. There are four ways to take pictures with it: Auto - used for general picture taking and the one I mostly use. PASM: Used to access manual camera settings Sport - Used when object is in motion Video - Used to capture motion and sound (I dont use this one because this one takes up too much space) Portrait - Used for full - frame photos of people and other subjects Night - Used at night to capture subject and background This are the explenations as written on the camera screen. My favorite feature of the camera is that you can change the colors of the pictures. There's "saturated" (which is the one I usually use), "neutral", "black and white" and my personal favorite "sepia". I am also glad that you can delete pictures you don't want. You don't kow how many pictures I had to get rid of with throwaway ameras. Plus it saves film and money. I highly recommnd this digital camera. It's a photgraoher's dream that you can take anywhere. My only gripe is that it doesn't come with the chip. I once took a whole batch of pictures without a chip and as a result couldn't print them.

Summary: 2004 regrets
Review: Buying this camera has taught me a very valuable lesson...NEVER buy an expensive camera unless you have used a friend's in a few different conditions! I am hugely disappointed with this camera. Unless you are in bright light and not using the zoom, it is virtually impossible to get a crisply in focus best resolution shot. Although I love the feel of the thing and the large view screen, I would not recommend it to anyone.

Summary: I'm No Camera Pro, But I know FUN when I see it!
Review: First, for all of you non technical folks this camera is very intuitive. You will most likely still want to read the manual, but this is one digital camera that won't tax your patience when you take a picture. I purchased this camera on the 9th of Nov. It's my 4th digital camera and my 2nd digital Kodak camera. I really love it. Having used digital cameras in my work and personal life for about four years I knew it would be best to purchase a large memory card (256 MB) for it. Using it for movies and pictures I knew I would need it and I was glad I bought it. The day after purchasing the camera my wife and I went to Arizona for a week. I had a lot of fun with this camera. I took short movies and lots of pictures. We love to hike in the mountains and watch sunsets and sunrises. We have some great pictures and short movies to look at now as well. It performs well in low light and the 10X zoom is outstanding. The movies came out pretty well, but the sound is not real great. With experience and by reading the manual I believe I'll do some things to improve the sound quality. If you are more experienced camera buff You will appreciate that you can switch to manual mode and the control it affords you. In the reviews I read I didn't see anything mentioned about the burst mode which will take up to 6 images in 2 seconds, very cool. I found the lithion battery to have very substantial life. Knowing digital cameras can be energy hogs I made sure to use the power saving features and turned the camera off when I wasn't using it. I set the camera on the docking station at night to recharge and never ran out of power the during the day. I wasn't sure I would, but I really like the docking station. The software loaded easily and is easy to use, although very basic. When I registered it online it also found the most recent update and asked me if I wanted it. I download it with a click and it completed the upgrade without any problems. So far this has been a great experience and I feel the DX6490 is a very good value at the price I paid of $499.99. I rate it 5 stars.

Summary: FANTASTIC CAMERA BUY IT NOW!
Review: I absolutely love this camera. I take a lot of personal photos of friends, family, and sunsets ect.. and then frame them for my walls. I was paranoid to switch to a digital camera at first. I bought this camera when it first came out a year ago and if anything was to happen to it I would replace with the same one or possibly there new one.
I also own a website for real estate rentals that I photo each and every room of the properties and display on the site. I have never been more impressed with a camera than this one. I was always an Olympus Fan and Kodak to me was bottom shelf for beginners. I am so glad I took the chance.
It is easy to us for beginners, and easy to learn the more advanced steps. I have used it for Fireworks displays, (including Disney) with out a tripod in night mode and could not believe the results.
For the down side I dont care for the software program they use. However, it is great for beginners to learn on and I do use it to keep my photos organized in albumns.
I do most of my editing and so forth thru Adobe photo suite.
If you are leary about this camera, dont be. My webmaster (who owns a $1000 Minolta) went and bought this camera after using mine for a day. We both have had photos purchased from us that were just look and shoot photos, spur of the moment shots.

Summary: There Is No Dock With This DX6490!
Review: I can't figure out if all the sellers are confused, or if they are intentionally trying to confuse all the buyers! The DX6490 is now being sold two ways--with and without the dock. The one you are looking at on this page has NO DOCK! Thus, you will not be able to recharge your camera battery unless you also buy a dock, or buy the Kodak battery recharger kit for the type of Li-Ion battery enclosed with this camera. The AC cord does not recharge the battery; it's just for saving battery life, which you will probably discover you don't need to do; the Li-Ion battery with this camera is better than any other camera batteries I've ever used. I believe they are selling it without the dock, for those who travel and prefer the battery recharger that fits right into a wall outlet. Or, even more likely, they want people to buy the PRINTER DOCK. The printer dock recharges the battery, so you don't need the recharger dock that comes with this camera, if you buy the camera with a dock at the higher price. The printer dock price has drastically dropped this month, which makes it more reasonable to buy this camera without the recharger dock, and then buy the printer dock. The only question is--why did the printer dock suddenly go way down in price? My guess is Kodak is coming out with a new printer dock soon, or they are very concerned about the competition. For example, Epson just released a printer that uses printer packs--paper and ink included--that sells for $200, as the Kodak printer dock did until this month. The Epson is not a dock, but uses memory cards to print. Their printer pack refill kit is like $4 more than the Kodak refill kit, but it makes 60 more 4x6 prints! So, you might keep that in mind when you are deciding what battery charger to get. But this is a fabulous camera! I've had it for 7 months, and believe there is none better. If you want to read lots of reviews on the camera, just go to the page where the camera is selling with the dock.

Summary: Great SERVICE in addition to a great product
Review: I got a DX6490 in June for a trip to Scotland in July. I love the camera and the excellent picture quality. I took over 300 pictures and a few videos on my trip and have really enjoyed sharing them with family and friends since then.
There are plenty of reviews here about the camera and its features and I won't repeat any of them. But I do want to add comments about the excellent service I have recieved from Kodak.
The camera came with a battery charger for the Li-On battery, but it did not include the adaptors for non-US electric outlets. (The charger, when purchased as a separate item, comes with 6 adaptors). I called Kodak to see if I could get *just* the adaptors without buying another entire charger. At first they said that was not possible, but we continued to talk and I explained that I would be going overseas and already had the charger, just missing the overseas adaptors. After awhile I was put on hold and soon the service rep came back and said they were sending me the adaptors, no charge!! GREAT.
This Fall my camera started giving me problems turning on. It got to the point that most of the time it would not turn on at all; the screen displayed "B03" error and said to refer to the manual. I changed the battery, I cleaned the battery compartment, I wiggled the lens barrel; sometimes it would come on but usually not. So in late November I called Kodak again. They ran me through a few things to try (most of which I had already done) and finally said I would have to ship the camera to Rochester for repair. I packed it up and sent it in on December 1; I figured there was no way it would be back before Christmas. Well, much to my surprise they checked it into their system on December 7, fixed it and shipped it back to me on December 10!! It arrived on December 15 and works like new. The repair slip says they replaced the "MCU PCB" whatever that is; plus they did a complete cleaning and restored it to it original condition.
So this is twice I've been pleasantly surprised and delighted with Kodak's customer service. This makes an EXCELLENT product all that much better!

Summary: I Like this camera
Review: I had a Kodak camera before and really liked the ease of use. I was looking for something with a better optical zoom and this camera delivers. I opted for less MP to get a better zoom and it was worth it. There is a trick to taking a good picture you have to point tap the button wait for it to focus and then snap the picture. So if you need to take a picture fast it will probably come out a little fuzzy. I have 128SD card and it holds about 180 high resolution images.

Summary: Very good stuff !!!
Review: I had never use a digital camera, but i ever ask a friend any time i'm interested in one. Suddenly, i look the offer of this camera in a kodak store. I get my friend to look it before buy and he said me that it's a good offer.
The pictures that i have take with it are of a great quality. It's very easy to use. Only target and shot. It have a lag of 3 or 4 seconds between two shots, but instead have a function to shot 6 pictures with one shot, ideal to capture movement.
The only cons is that you need a tripod to take pictures in the night mode.

Summary: An excellent camera
Review: I have had 4 kodak digital cameras and recently got the dx6490 as a gift. It is a really stable and powerful camera that takes excellent pictures. The low cost, high quality and simplicity are all reasons to buy this camera. Night shots work better than most snap and shoot digital cameras that I have seen. Outdoor and indoor shots are so simple, the only thing that takes some getting used to is the joystick function for moving up and down. While it is small - it takes a few days to get used to, mind you the large viewing screen will impress everyone. Buy this camera - its worth every penny.

Summary: A good camera
Review: I have this camera for about a year. I am happy with the quality of the pictures and the controls I have, and I like the large LCD display. I would have given the DX6490 5 stars if it is easier to turn ON and OFF. The ON/OFF function is on a small dial with the rest of the controls. The tiny handle used to turn the dial is not too easy to control, especially when I am in a hurry.
