Customer Reviews
Surprising 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 numberless other cameras & though this is not a high resolution camera, the photos on out great, at times even better than high megapixel cameras. However it does eat the battery power quickly, I do not have any complaints as I use the Kodak rechargeable batteries, which organize lasted me for a long time. I'm currently using the third installment (you call 4 batteries) of the Kodak rechargeable batteries. Plus since they are AA make an estimate of, those batteries can be used with other cameras or expose devices.
I know that this camera is not available for trade. But if you are looking for a cheap camera on any auction website (Amazon, Ebay), then I say go for it.
Excessive technology!
I as a matter of fact bought one of these at a yard sale for 80 bucks, since in the old days I owned and used a Kodak dc 240. I don't quite know why this series of cameras away with such amazingly sharp pictures (my 240 (1.2 MP) takes sharper photos than my 3.2 MP sony!!!)but they upright do. The 280 has a more limited zoom (2x as opposed to a 3x), but the picture grandeur is amazing. You cannot buy a 2MP camera that takes sharper and more practical pictures than the 280. The new Kodak series with the docking ports are made differently and they are not as fit about focusing or sharpness of image. The 280 is a great investment!! I've seen prints from the 280 looking improve than some 4MP cameras!! And that's all I have to say about that :)
Smashing Camera
my dad had baught this camera 3years ago and then recently he gave it to me. its a honest camera, the only thing is, the lense cap keeps comming off. colossal camera, cheap lense cap. picture quality is good, indoor and alfresco. the only other thing is that when the batteries get low it'll suppress using the flash, which gets really annoying on but normally isn't a problem. it can also stand SOME banging all, but not much. oh, and that little plastic covering at the bottom of the sound hand corner of the camera peeled off recently but that doens't change the camera's performance!
This WORKHORSE takes Fabulous pictures!
At the back of much research, I recommended the DC280 for my friend's company about three years ago, and since then it has taken THOUSANDS of pics, most of them Astounding good color and clarity. Whether taken inside or skin, of products, people or nature shots, the DC280 seemed to tackle everything we threw at it - including getting DROPPED several times and getting WET and Polluted on numerous occasions (not that I recommend it). Recently my friend bought a Canon G2 and GAVE me his "old" Kodak DC280 - and it Yet takes stunning pictures as if it was brand new! Therefore, if you can find a ample used DC280 or DC290 for a decent price, I can GUARANTEE you won't be failed with the durability of the camera or the quality of the pictures!
Hands down to use, even for a beginner
This is my sooner digital camera, and I love it! I did some research before I bought, but I'm not an boffin on any of the technical stuff.
I can say that as a beginner, I have found that all of the key 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 inescapable functions.
No software package works on everyone's machine, but the software installed plumb simply and easily on mine and I haven't had a single problem with it (I run Windows XP About edition).
The part that I had the most reservations about was the true to life connection and upload to the computer. Most people have second-hand a camera; but obviously I had never hooked one up to my machine before!
It couldn't fool been easier. I simply read in the instructions which position the USB plug went into on the camera -- I had already plugged it into my notebook -- turned the camera mode to "connect" and flipped it on. Windows recognized the camera, and the photo wizard in XP allows pure easy transfer into a folder of your choosing. You can equally get the photos directly from the camera and bypass the wizard, but I protection't felt the need to do that.
The photos themselves have lovely 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 incandescence isn't that great, tend to be a little washed out, just like a unqualified camera.
Overall, I love my new camera and have found nothing to groan about. It has performed beautifully and it's easy to use. I recommend this camera to any newbie who wants a middle-of-the-belt machine.
