A Camera that for once, has a name that fits it. Easy. |
For a long time I've had a little baby normal camera. Finally, I bought myself a digital camera to see what all the fuss was. And now I know.This is a great camera.
Pros:
> Amazing memory. I took over 400 pictures and still had room for more.
> Has an LCD screen, which really helps out night to see what you're taking pictures of.
> An incredible (almost overwhelming) selection of styles to take pictures. You have night pics, normal, manual, portait, camera...I could go on for ever.
> Disturbingly good zoom. You can zoom as far as to see the color of someone's eyes at at least 100yds. away. The zoom on this camera is scary good.
> For camera mode, the videos created are surprisingly clear with good sound. This is a great camera to double as a camcorder.
> Normally this camera takes excellent pictures, but, there are...
Cons:
> A wee bit bulky. Easy to hold in one's hand, but difficult to shove in a camera bag.
> The time lapse from the moment you press down on the picture button and the time the camera takes the shot is a little bit too long for my liking.
> Sometimes, the camera has a really difficult time to focus on stuff.
> While on camcorder mode, you cannot zoom in or out of a shot.
> If you're taking a picture into the sun, the picture comes out a little bit funky looking.
I'm being a little bit negative. I should stay on the positive. This is an amazing, stunning camera, worth every penny. I love it, and won't be buying a new digital anytime soon because I am really happy with this one. A must-have for any tourist on a trip or photography loving dork like me. |

Kodak Software shortcomings |
| The Kodak DX6490 camera is a quite respectable camera. It's most noticable fault is it's poor low light focus problem which they have changed in the newest model. The software problems are very simple to solve. Don't use the software. Windows XP can handle all the transfer of photos from the camera easily and Adobe photoshop has an entry level free program that does quite nicely. As for the complaints about the video shortcomings, Isn't this a still camera that will take videos as an added attraction? If you want good video buy a video camera. |

Clueless Kodak |
This camera does indeed have respectable images, useful zoom, and a great LCD display. As with all Kodaks, however, it lacks severely in the software department.

From its first digital cameras, Kodak has forced owners to use its bloated, unstable software. The software runs and consumes resources constantly, and can cause a computer to lock up or crash. Other cameras simply use Windows drivers & utilities.
Picture capture and colors are above average, but they are compressed severely in storage, even on the best setting. The highest quality pictures from this 4 megapixel camera are half the size of those from my 3 megapixel Canon!
Movies are only 320x240 (half size of my ancient Canon), and are stored in the proprietary Quicktime .MOV format. You have no control over the compression of the movies, and they're incompatible with Windows Media Player or anything but Apple hardware/software. It is convenient that movie length is only limited by your storage card.
Comparing this camera to a Gateway!?!? Gateway is not an imaging company, digital or otherwise. Compare this to a Fuji, Nikon, or Canon.
