Kodak Easyshare DX6490

Many years ago, I had one of the basic Kodak DX3600 Digital Cameras, and I was very impressed with the quality of the pictures, the ease of use, and the overall thought that went into the design. Little by little, I have been educating my husband on all things technical and about a year ago, he pinched my camera, and seems always to have it with him because it is so versatile and basically simple. The time came when I wanted a camera that offered more than the bog standard one, and my choice was within the Kodak range simply because the reliability of the smaller camera had pursuaded me that Kodak have much to offer at a reasonable price and handling it in the shop and ...  Read the complete review

The DX6490 is one of many camera's in the easyshare range by Kodak. Whilst it may look like a large, bulky camera, its not actually that big, and fits ok in my hand. It is certainly not a credit card camera, but you dont expect to get something with a TEN times optical zoom in a small package do you? The camera looks like a SLR camera, but it is just a normal digital camera, in the "prosumer" range. Sporting a reasonable 4 megapixels, its not the top of the league but it produces more than acceptable results. You can get the full specs on the camera from any online store, or even kodaks website, so I wont bore you with a long ...  Read the complete review

Do noy pay any more than £300 for this item. some supliers are up pricing it because it is top of the line in the 'Easyshare' group. The thing I found awkward was to discern exactly what you got and what you needed. In the box is - Software, Camera, Neckstrap, doccumentation, Battery, Bty Charger, Lens Cap, USB Cable, TV Cable and thats it. You will need to get - extra memory [internal is only 16mb and you will loose photo's on Bty change unless you have MM Card.] I recommend a 256 mb minimum. This will give you 98 top notch quality photo's and 8 mins of video +sound. Also you will need a bag to keep it in and protect in transit etc. You might get a ...  Read the complete review

I'd wanted a digital camera for years, but couldn't really justify buying one because I could usually borrow one from work. So when I changed jobs, this semed the obvious thing to buy with the cash from my leaving gift. I'd been looking for weeks and decided that the best I could afford was a Fuji Finepix until we made a short trip abroad on a budget airline. We say the camera in Dixons at Stanstead airport and the purchase of a magazine quickly comapred that at £250 I was getting a bargain. Apart from price, two things prompted me to choose this camera. The first was the brand name which I regard as synonymous with solid family values (and not ...  Read the complete review
