Pros: digita scripting, very easy to use interface Cons: slow photo processing
I love my DC290. I spent about 2 months looking over digital cameras. After reviewing the Canon S20, Fuji FinePix 4700, and a few others, I chose the DC290 due to its easy to use interface. I am pretty much a novice when it comes to photography, but...

Pros: Great camera, Easy to use Cons: Keep another set of batteries close by...
After an interesting and informing search for a nice digital camera, we found the DC-290. All I can say is that it was worth the effort.
This camera is everything you need. It provides high-quality images with a minimum amount of effort. I...

Pros: Great resolution, fairly easy to use, high picture capacity Cons: Poorly written drivers, slow user interface
Before we bought the DC-290 we evaluated the Nikon Coolpix 950, and the Fuji MX-2900. Honestly the only reason that I purchased the Kodak is because my vendor could not get the Fuji. Overall I really like the design of the camera, it is MUCH easier to...

Pros: Excellent pictures, easy to use Cons: A little bulky, no aperture priority or shutter priority exposure modes
I see that there are already many good reviews of this camera, so I want to jump to two particular points:
1. I have seen many comments to the effect that the camera has poor batter life, and I could not disagree more. I think the people...

Pros: - 2-megapixels resolution - compression-free imaging - PC or Mac connection via USB port Cons: - none
This is basically the DC5000 product without the toughened casing, and it offers plenty of features for its price. Packing in 2.1 megapixels, the DC290 Zoom includes 3x-optical and 2x-digital zoom with 1792x1200-pixel resolution. The ability to capture...

Pros: unbelievable images Cons: too slow
This camera was my first foray into the filmless world of the digicam. I cannot express how happy it makes me to not pay for development. This camera was an ideal replacement for the standard 35mm because it prints photo-quality images, quite...

Pros: Out of the box digital camera Cons: Lack of accessories with the original package
When I saw MI-2 this weekend, my kids thought I bought the Kodak DC-290 because the movie showed the camera. I have had my site on this camera for months. It finally dropped in price so I got it. The price ranged from $600 to $800 right now.

Pros: Good picture quality, CompactFlash compatible, decent zoom, many advanced features. Cons: Slow "boot-up", too much time between pressing shutter button and picture being taken.
My wife and I had a Kodak DC215 and decided to find a better camera to capture our 10-month-old daughter's younger years.
We looked at many vendors including but not limited to HP, Olympus, Sony, and Kodak, but found for the price the Kodak...

Pros: Excellent picture quality, impressive features. Cons: Horrible battery life, delays and below average shutter lag.
If you are taking pictures of objects that don't move, this is a great camera. I was literally overwhelmed with the quality of the pictures. I also really liked the red-eye flash. However, there are several drawbacks to this camera. To be honest,...

Pros: Excellent color/print quality; choice of manual controls; easy buttons and menus w/out petroglyphs Cons: Takes too long to take another picture; blurry pictures in low-light w/out flash
I've had this camera for a few years. I bought it when the newer Kodak models had already come out because I liked the bigger design that is easy to hold and the manual controls which some of the newer point and shoot cameras didn't offer for a ...

Pros: Great quality pictures Cons: Optional camera bag could be more protective
I've had the product now for a year and love it. I have used it on a couple of vacations and now take it instead of my old trusty Olympus 35mm. I currently have 3 - 64mb flash cards and just ordered a 96mb card. With this camera and the great quality of...

Pros: Size, Quality, Speed, Picture Quality Cons: Battery Life
I bought the Kodak DC290 last month after doing a fair amount of research, inspection of its rivals.
The unit is relatively compact, has a great interface for the Macintosh as well as a speedy USB connection.
Picture quality is...
