 I am so happy with this camera. July 28, 2004

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.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this camera! July 6, 2004

I bought this camera shortly after the birth of my first child, which was four months ago. I am SOooooo glad I did! This was our first digital camera, so I wanted to make sure I got one that was easy to use. After reading many reviews, as well as the opinions given in Consumer Reports, I decided on this camera (along with the dock). I couldn't be happier!
One of my favorite features on this camera, as compared to other cameras, is the large viewing screen--it is so much easier to tell if you like the pictures you've taken with a larger screen, and also easier to view pictures when you are outdoors.
Most importantly, though, I love how simple this camera is to work. My parents have a digital camera that I still can't figure out. However, with the Kodak, I didn't even have to read the instruction manual. Everything is very self-explanatory, and using the buttons to accomplish a change in picture quality, color, etc. is a piece of cake.
I didn't think I would use the feature that allows the user to take video clips, but as it turns out, I use it all the time! I have a 256 mb memory, so I can get a fairly long video out of this great camera.
I really could not be happier with my purchase. If I had to find a complaint, it would be that, like all other digital cameras, it does not have a large enough memory on its own. It's not that fun to buy a nearly $500 camera, only to have to then spend more money to be able to take a decent amount of pictures. Other than that, though, I'd recommend this camera in a heartbeat!

I lucked out on the deal of the century at my local Office Depot 2 weeks ago. OD decided to phase out their Kodak digital camera stock, and I found one 6490 WITH dock marked down to $219, with a $50 rebate to boot - unbelievable! Yes, it was brand new, in a sealed box. Anyway, I LOVE this camera. I had a 2.1 MP Fuji which I really liked, but hated the 3x optical zoom - far away shots looked, well, far away! The 10x zoom on the Kodak is unreal. The pictures are so crisp and clear that if you are taking pictures in your house, you had better dust first! It takes a little time to master a steady hand when taking zoom shots, or else they turn out blurry. The 6490 also takes great video - but you have to remember to turn the autofocus off or else you end up with an annoying clicking noise in your video. The battery life is great - I've taken innumerable test shots and videos and have yet to run the battery down. All in all, I'm incredibly pleased with this camera. Now I just need to take another vacation so I can take some new photos!

I have had 2 other cheap digital cameras before that took pretty good pictures of things I sold on ebay and some outside scenery, but this new Kodak DX 6490 makes the other cameras I had look so bad it is unbelievable. This 6490 is very easy to work and does everything that most people would want in a picture. It does things that I couldn't even think of doing with my other cameras. If I had to say anything bad about it I guess it would be the size of it, but that really doesn't make any difference to me as I was used to carrying around a 35m for quite a long time befoe this new Kodak. The other thing is if you get a memory card for it you can take many many pictures and then just take the card out and run into a Walmart or some other place that has the picture developing equipment for the little memory cards and have your prints made in 15 or so min's. and you can pick the ones you want to print, and they come out looking better than any 35m I have had. Buy one you won't be disappointed.
A wonderful camera June 27, 2004

I am not a photographer by profession, but a Costume Designer and Author. That said, this camera is absolutely perfect for my work. I use it for the pictures for my web site and my latest book. I love the fact that I can take very close close-ups, great for the 'How to' books I write.I'm still learning all that it will do, but I love it already! This is my second digital camera and my second Kodak digital & I couldn't be happier.
