The most easy to use interface!

by welke_welke , Sep 18 '00
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...

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.

Great pictures but poorly written drivers...

by mhoner , May 19 '00
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...

Great digital camera

by peteheine , Apr 18 '01
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...

Kodak DC-290 Zoom

by daedric , Oct 05 '00
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...

DC290

by danielborman , Feb 19 '02
Pros: Great feautures.
Cons: Hard to take pic without touching glass.
The DC290 was purchased for $100.00 from my dad's co-worker.

The lens quality is optical. You turn it on with a button located at the top. The zoom is 3x optical zoom and a two times digital zoom. The width is 4.6 inches long. It is 4.2...

Hi quality, but a little slow.

by JohnShaft , Mar 20 '00
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...

Mission Impossible Camera

by nubla , May 31 '00
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.

The outgoing generation...

by gdtoddler , Aug 16 '01
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...

Great quality. Not for people trying to take action pictures.

by jewood69 , Mar 10 '03
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,...

Excellent picture quality, a bit slow

by alorac , Mar 02 '04
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 ...

The replacement for my 35mm

by bigkahunafl , Oct 05 '00
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...

by cwisler , Mar 22 '00
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...
