Weakness: delay between picture takings

I bought the KODAK DX6490 a little more than a year ago, at the price about $350. The first thing attracts me is its professional look. Indeed, with the power of 10x optical zoom, you really can make some pretty good pictures. Generally, it is excellent. Two things I noted: 1. the conitunous picture taking does not work well: either manual or automatic. 2. When you remove the battery, the date is...

Kodak EasyShare DX6490 High-end Digital Camera

Strengths: 10x optical zoom; bright/large LCD; easy to use/great user manual; manual settings; easy to hold; great pictures; good battery life; very good software.

Weakness: no battery meter to check remaining battery life ... not a big problem as battery lasts forever.

This is my 2nd digital camera ... I have an old Sony. I just got the Kodak and I love the DX6490. I had read some bad reviews, but most were good. I liked the large LCD, the 10x optical, and the feel in my hand. Got a great deal at Buydig.com (I recommend them highly)and decided to buy the DX6490 after checking it out at Circuit City and watching the price fall on the internet for a couple of...

Kodak EasyShare DX6490 High-end Digital Camera

Strengths: Schneider lens, large LCD display, 10x optical zoom, price!

Weakness: Noticeable red-eye problem, flash doesn't open automatically

I've only had this camera for a little over a week, but am happy enough with it to give it four stars. It truly does take some stunning & detailed shots! I was using a Sony P10 5MP point & shoot digital camera, but I am more pleased with the photos the Kodak takes. Many of the pictures I took with my Sony came out blury, but I haven't had any of that problem with the Kodak. I would highly...

Kodak EasyShare DX6490 High-end Digital Camera

Strengths: Wonderful color, large LCD Screen

Weakness: none found

My husband purchase this camera for me as a gift. I have used many digitals in my time. I found this one to be useful. If you are the type to have patients and read the manual, then this camera is for you. It does contain a lot of features that help quality of pictures. The user guide is easy to follow. I find the joystick to be better than the normal key pad. For the video,the sound quality is...

Kodak EasyShare DX6490 High-end Digital Camera

Strengths: 10x zoom; cute body; great LCD screen; durable battery; basically unlimited movie mode; easy to use

Weakness: a little bit blur when zoomed in to the most, so it would be nice if a stablizer was added; internal memory too small

Picture quality is great except when the optical zoom is used to the extreme or a very near object is pictured. In either of the above cases, the focus does not work very well or the picture is more sensitive at the slight hand shaking. To add a stablizer should make the camera perfect. The movie mode is impressive. Basically the only limitation is the size of your memery card. The LCD screen is...

Kodak EasyShare DX6490 High-end Digital Camera

Strengths: Easy to use controls, Full manual mode is easy to navigate

Weakness: No manual focus, but the focus works quickly and accurately

I have owned several digital camera's, and so far the kodak's have been the preferred ones. Even my old DC215. Never gave me trouble and I could always rely on it when others would not function. This new 6490 is something else! Battery life is incredible. I can shoot all day on one battery even viewing the pics and selecting my preferences for marking. Zoom works great, lens is very clear, focus...

Strengths: 4 megapixel, excellent picture quality, colors are great, resolution is great, 10x full optical zoom, compact and leight-weght SLR style body, full manual and creative controls, great LCD, camera dock

Weakness: flash isn't that great, close subjects are well let, but lots of black everywhere else, focus time is decent, but not great, digital viewfinder negates excellent burst mode

Compact SLR style body, buttons provide essential functions are easily accessable. Full manual controls using a dial on the front of the camera opposite the zoom when in the manual mode. Manual controls include full manual, aperture priority, shutter priority and programmed (which is automatic but gives you more menu functions such as selecting white balance, spot focus, center weighted metering,...

Kodak EasyShare DX6490 High-end Digital Camera

Strengths: Picture quality, LCD is very large, controls - love the joystick! Great low-light in smaller areas.

Weakness: image stability when using optical zoom more than say 1/2 way - should use a tripod unless you have a very steady hand.

Love this camera! I've taken some really amazing shots without trying too hard. The flash is amazing in low to no light if using it in a small enclosed space - ie. a room in your house. I've taken photo's in pure darkness and they are as bright as daylight. Low light in larger area's is not as good but not too bad with a tripod (because of shutter speed - same as with a 35mm). The zoom is a...

Kodak EasyShare DX6490 High-end Digital Camera

Strengths: I like the 10x optical zoom, big, clear LCD monitor - Great picture quality - Many great features and the ease of Use

Weakness: Would be nice if a stablizer was added; internal memory too small but memory is REAL cheap. Buy a 128 or better still..a 256 SD.

Ordered this camera with the docking station and had it overnighted to make our family reunion. Charged overnight and away i went with 128 memory card. Takes great pictures in shady conditions. Take AMAZING pictures in the DARK! (Yes..it will focus almost in pitch black. You need to be a little careful in bight sunlight with different contrast. IE..People standing in a stream. The bodies will...
