Kodak DC290 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom description
The Kodak DC290 digital camera offers some of the most sophisticated features available on a consumer digital camera. While it's no lightweight, the DC290 can offer you quite a bit if you need professional-level quality and customization. It delivers two-megapixel resolution (1,792 x 1,200) for fine detail even on large image sizes--plus it lets you take uncompressed TIFF images for no-loss photo quality. It also lets you record and play back audio clips. It uses Kodak's easy-to-use menu system, one of the most intuitive we've seen in the digital camera realm. The Kodak DC290 includes a 3x optical/2x digital zoom. The built-in flash comes with four modes, including red-eye reduction. Special camera modes include time lapse and burst modes as well as auto and manual exposure settings. The Digita scripting feature gives you additional control and customization--you can use it to add text and sound, catalog pictures, and adjust color balance and contrast. The Kodak DC290 has a large, bright 2-inch LCD monitor and includes a generous 16 MB CompactFlash memory card. The camera supports USB connectivity for fast, cross-platform downloads. It comes with 4 AA batteries and an AC adapter; however, like all digital cameras, it drains batteries quickly. We recommend investing in a set of rechargeables. |

22,000 Pics and Still Working Great
|
I bought my DC290 new in November 1999 for $799 from Computers4sure.com ($1099 MSRP). They had just come out. It has been used all over the US, Mexico and Japan to take 22,000 pics!
The camera is very slow after about five shots when it is writing to the CF card. It also requires 4 batteries, which wasn't much trouble until I bought a newer Kodak that is faster and only requires two batteries.
The picture quality is very good. I always use the lowest compression and largest picture size. It came with a 20MB CF, but I later purchased a 64MB, 256MB and 512MB. Getting ready to buy a 2GB CF, which probably won't work on the DC290.
My DC290 is just a spare camera now. I also have a Canon Digital Rebel SLR, a Kodak DX4530 and a Sony U30 (spy camera! SWEET!).
