Customer Reviews
Astonishing Camera, 8+ years and still working greatI own the DC 280 and I had bought it in Splendid 2000. This camera is special. I have tried tons other cameras & though this is not a high resolution camera, the photos put one's hands out great, at times even better than high megapixel cameras. Although it does eat the battery power quickly, I do not have any complaints as I use the Kodak rechargeable batteries, which from lasted me for a long time. I'm currently using the third installment (you necessary 4 batteries) of the Kodak rechargeable batteries. Plus since they are AA enormousness, those batteries can be used with other cameras or reflection devices.
I know that this camera is not available for on sale. But if you are looking for a cheap camera on any auction website (Amazon, Ebay), then I say go for it.
Weighty technology!
I literally bought one of these at a yard sale for 80 bucks, since in olden days I owned and used a Kodak dc 240. I don't quite know why this series of cameras imagine such amazingly sharp pictures (my 240 (1.2 MP) takes sharper photos than my 3.2 MP sony!!!)but they impartial do. The 280 has a more limited zoom (2x as opposed to a 3x), but the picture excellence is amazing. You cannot buy a 2MP camera that takes sharper and more naturalistic pictures than the 280. The new Kodak series with the docking ports are made differently and they are not as solid about focusing or sharpness of image. The 280 is a great investment!! I've seen prints from the 280 looking gamester than some 4MP cameras!! And that's all I have to say about that :)
Basic Camera
my dad had baught this camera 3years ago and then recently he gave it to me. its a reputable camera, the only thing is, the lense cap keeps comming off. ardent camera, cheap lense cap. picture quality is good, indoor and open-air. the only other thing is that when the batteries get low it'll stoppage using the flash, which gets really annoying from time to time but normally isn't a problem. it can also stand SOME banging in every direction, but not much. oh, and that little plastic covering at the bottom of the dexter hand corner of the camera peeled off recently but that doens't pretend to the camera's performance!
This WORKHORSE takes Earth-shaking pictures!
In the wake of much research, I recommended the DC280 for my friend's company practically three years ago, and since then it has taken THOUSANDS of pics, most of them Gorgeous good color and clarity. Whether taken inside or casing, of products, people or nature shots, the DC280 seemed to control everything we threw at it - including getting DROPPED several times and getting WET and Smudged on numerous occasions (not that I recommend it). Recently my friend bought a Canon G2 and GAVE me his "old" Kodak DC280 - and it STILL takes superb pictures as if it was brand new! Therefore, if you can find a good used DC280 or DC290 for a satisfactory price, I can GUARANTEE you won't be disappointed with the durability of the camera or the distinction of the pictures!
Unoppressive to use, even for a beginner
This is my key digital camera, and I love it! I did some research before I bought, but I'm not an crack on any of the technical stuff.
I can say that as a beginner, I have found that all of the essential functions are intuitive. I played around with the camera more willingly than getting out the instructions, and realized I had figured out most of the most compelling functions.
No software package works on everyone's machine, but the software installed most simply and easily on mine and I haven't had a single problem with it (I run Windows XP Where one lives stress edition).
The part that I had the most reservations about was the authentic connection and upload to the computer. Most people have occupied a camera; but obviously I had never hooked one up to my machine before!
It couldn't play a joke on been easier. I simply read in the instructions which groove the USB plug went into on the camera -- I had already plugged it into my processor -- turned the camera mode to "connect" and flipped it on. Windows recognized the camera, and the photo wizard in XP allows quite easy transfer into a folder of your choosing. You can in the same way get the photos directly from the camera and bypass the wizard, but I shelter't felt the need to do that.
The photos themselves have winsome good color -- I do have to up the contrast more repeatedly than not in Paint Shop Pro, but that's not a big deal. The colors, if the glare isn't that great, tend to be a little washed out, just like a orderly camera.
Overall, I love my new camera and have found nothing to bitch about. It has performed beautifully and it's easy to use. I recommend this camera to any newbie who wants a midway-of-the-line machine.
