easyshare???.......2007-07-25
this digital camera is easy to use. of course, you must read the owner's manual to use it properly. it is a bit bulky, but it takes good pictures and , yes, you can share your pixs with friends and family.
Don't Judge a Camera By It's Photographer.......2007-06-03
I have had this camera for a little over 2 years, and it still takes better pictures than most other point and shoot digital cameras out there. I'm not a professional photographer or even a very serious amateur, but with this camera I have been able to get great shots of families, little kids, animals, sports, flowers, close-ups, landscapes, and fireworks . . . it even outshoots the cameras my other family members own, and they spent extra money to get higher resolution cameras with even more zoom power. It doesn't compare to an SLR, but it wasn't designed to.
I recently bought an ultra-compact point-and-shoot camera at a "day after Thanksgiving" sale, thinking it would be an easier-to-transport alternative to the Kodak. Even though it has higher resolution, I still rarely use it and wind up taking the Kodak with me anyway. The picture quality is so much better that I don't care how much the camera weighs or how big it is. I bought this camera because of the big lens, not in spite of it. If you read the manual and learn to operate the PASM functions, you can get good shots in almost any light.
This camera is pretty durable - like any other well-used camera, it's been (accidentally) dropped, subjected to high and low temperatures, gotten water on it, and been handled by several kids, and it still works just as well as the day I bought it. It's survived 2 years of day camps, fairs, cooking lessons, and even family Christmas dinners. Everybody wants to borrow this camera, even though most of them own newer, more expensive cameras. The battery lasts an amazingly long time - you will find if you do buy a small camera that runs on disposable alkaline batteries, the extra weight and space you thought you saved will be taken up by spare batteries.
A brief warning: to get great photos out of this or any other camera, digital or film, takes PRACTICE. You should always try using the camera yourself before you buy it, even if it's just in the camera department at a store. I must warn you that if you don't know much about photography, it won't matter what kind of camera you buy - knowing how to compose a shot, how a camera works, and how to edit photos are vital to getting outstanding pictures.
One thing I would suggest is this: don't waste your time installing the software - buy a cheap USB card reader to transfer your pictures to the computer. Better yet, make sure your next computer has a built-in card reader. It saves a lot of time, and if you want to do a lot of editing the included software has only very limited options. I have found that it's also difficult to find photos that have been stored using the Kodak software if you want to open them in other applications. That is the only reason I gave it four stars instead of five.
I recently thought about upgrading my camera, but other than the newer SLRs I haven't found anything better that is reasonably priced.
Versatile, easy to use.......2006-11-29
I bought this camera new, and it is worth every penny. I've used it for photos for many websites, personal pix of family, friends and pets, and every picture turns out great. The multiple autofocus options, various settings for daytime, flash, night, sport and portrait photography make picture taking almost fool-proof. Plus, the video cam is great for those times when I just want to pick up a quick short video without hauling out the full-size video camera. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time between charges, so I can take tons of pictures without worrying about losing power. This workhorse lives up to the Kodak reputation.
Better outdoors than indoors........2006-11-03
I've had this camera for 2 years this Christmas. Overall, for the price it is pretty descent. The biggest problem I have with it is that indoor pictures are always grayish, unless in a super bright area, with like flouresent lights!
Outdoor pictures are great. To sum it up, great for beginners, and very well lit outdoor settings.
Great outdoor perfect-lighting pictures, really poor lowlight pics........2006-05-28
We have had this camera for over a year now. We have had previous good experiences with kodak cameras, so when we bought this one we were confident that it would take great pics. What a disappointment when we realized that it takes horrible lowlight pictures (I mean, really bad!). Outside in perfect daylight, the pictures are clear and really great. Inside or outside in lower light settings, the pictures do NOT turn out at all. I would not buy this camera knowing what I know now. Too bad - Kodak had our loyalty until this experience! We are planning a trip across the US this summer and are going with a different brand hoping for better overall picture quality as we treasure our family pictures and want good quality for them. Our advise is to not buy this - it is not worth the price.

Optics and Resolution
Thanks to the Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon optics and Kodak's intelligent color science image processing chip, the EasyShare DX6490 delivers in-depth detail and stunning colors. The DX6490 features a 4-megapixel resolution for 2304 x 1728 pixel images for photo-quality 11 x 14 enlargements. Other resolution modes include 1656 x 1242, 1200 x 900, and 640 x 480.

When used with USB 1.1 connection, transfer will slow to USB 1.1 rate.

Easy Share.......2007-05-12
This product is perfect for anyone who wants to just go out and take great pictures. The camera can be easily operated with little use of the owner's manual. Everthing is simple to find and use. The 10x zoom on the camera is second to none and the 'through the lense' viewing option is wonderful. The battery on this camera is outstanding for how long it will last and recharging is a snap. The only thing that I wished worked better is the flash. To me it needs more power. Other than that, the camera is great.
Great for Outdoor Photography, Questionable indoors........2006-01-25
I have owned this camera for nearly 2 years now and I can honestly say that it is a good camera for general use but with a few caveats.
If you are taking outdoor photographs it is a fantastic camera. The 10x optical zoom is great until you start to reach the outer fringes then you begin to see a noticeable drop off in sharpness. The digital zoom is useless in my opinion.
The real issue with this camera comes when using it in low light or night situations. Even at ISO 800 and manual exposure the pictures come out less than acceptable. If you do not use a tripod, look for substantial blurring of your photographs. Downloading and using Photoshop CS2 did not help.
I just returned from 3 weeks in Italy and after missing some shots in low light situations I am now convinced I need to upgrade. The camera just would not take the pictures no matter what I tried. If you are considering this camera for a once in a lifetime vacation or for any situation where low light pictures will be important you may want to consider other options.
Back to the Past.......2004-10-01
I just bought the Kodak DX6490. It remided me of my old and faithfull Kodak Retina IIIc. The leather case, the feel of the camera, the Schneider Kreuznach lens. A wonderfull camera. Congatulations to Kodak for going back to a great tradition.
Great camera, very good on the Mac.......2004-08-29
I use my Mac for all my digital images (I really like iPhotos) When I got the camera I was afraid I would have to use their software to get the pictures off of the camera. I was very happy to find that it works well with iPhotos (you only loss the use of the share button, if that is important to you, keeping all my pictures in one place was more important to me) The images are great quality for home use. I use the burst mode (take up to 6 pictures in less then 3 seconds) to get action shots (start taking just before the picture I want, and keep going though till after and hope for the best) In Pasm mode you can change the shutter speed and other settings. The LCD is good for reviewing the pictures you just took and deleting the ones you don't want to keep. It uses the standard SD card for expanded memory (one reason I would not get a Sony since they don't support SD cards) The 10x optical zoom is what got me to get the camera, the greatest in all the cameras I looked at that made use of the SD care standard.
I am so happy with this camera........2004-07-29
I bought a digital camera years ago, before I knew the difference between a good camera and a bad camera.
I have been shopping for a GOOD dig camera for a year now. I didn't want to buy a camera, just to find out it didn't have the features I would use and need every day. Yet, I WASN'T sure exactly what those features were. I knew the resolution was important and also the mega pixels, but what about all the other options out there on the market?
Then one day, while in Circuit City, my husband went to one part of the store while I went to another. I didn't realize that he was checking out THIS camera upon the reccomendation of one of his co-workers. He (also the salesmen) showed me the camera, the zoom, the screen size, and how easily it finds into the hand. Then, they showed me the SHARE button. I was sold on it! (I have yet to use the SHARE button, but am entirely happy with the camera, none the less).
This camera takes pictures that make you re-live the moment. Our family went to a waterpark recently. I took over 100 pics. When I came home and displayed them as a slideshow. It took your breath away, beautiful colors. You could see every droplet of water from my children splashing.
A friend of mine is a SONY SNOB. Only buys SONY products. He has a mid-range Sony dig camera (I am not sure of the meg pix or the model # of the camera). We were at the SAME event recently and exchanged pics. His were dull, sometimes fuzzy looking. But the most noticeable thing about his pics were the color. They just didn't have the clarity of the pics from my camera.
I ordered the camera from Amazon, as I am a loyal customer. If you really want to know about the camera before you buy it. Do what I did, try it in the store. You won't regret it.

Cute little DVD player.......2004-06-11
This is a very nice cute little DVD player. The size of a portable CD player, it is easily transportable from TV to TV, and to the car, the reason I bought it; my 3-year old minivan came with a VHS player with an auxiliary input, so this is the perfect size to sit on the floor in the back for the kids to watch their DVDs (no more reason to buy VHS movies ever again!) Playing is perfect, no skips at all navigating the twists and turns of Chicago's bumpy roads.
Just a few minor gripes: When I power off my car, the cigarette lighter goes dead, so the player doesn't remember where it was on the DVD, so you have to track forward to the correct scene (I guess that's more of a gripe about my van than about the player). Also, the remote control is very weak; you have to be within a few feet of the player and be pointing right at it for the remote to work; hard for the kids to do when the player is on the floor.
I chose this model because it comes with both an AC power cord for in the house and a car adapter for the cigarette lighter, so you don't have to buy an extra adapter. But be aware that it does not come with a battery; the manual describes an optional snap on rechargeable battery pack, but I don't know what that would cost.
