Pros: Easy to use & great picture quality Cons: Printer doc sometimes has problems /paper/ink cartridge expensive, Easyshare software online sometimes slow The Bottom Line: Great camera easy to use I have taken some great pictures with this camera and print my pictures myself! from Shopping.com Pros: Takes steller photos Cons: less than perfect low light photos I have owned this camera for a couple of years and get nothing but rave reviews when family and friends look at the pictures I have taken with my Kodak. It's an extreamly easy camera to use and has alot of nice features. from Yahoo.com Doing a lot of camping & hiking I was looking for something where I didn't have to lug around all of my multiple lenses & stuff for the Canon. More of a one camera fits all situation. After much research I decided on the Kodak 6490 camera, which in the end am very happy I did. The problem with digital SLA cameras would put me right back in the same situation with dealing with dealing with multiple lenses & flashes. from Amazon.com it even outshoots the cameras my other family members own, and they spent extra money to get higher resolution cameras with even more zoom power. It doesn't compare to an SLR, but it wasn't designed to. I recently bought an ultra-compact point-and-shoot camera at a "day after Thanksgiving" sale, thinking it would be an easier-to-transport alternative to the Kodak. Even though it has higher resolution, I still rarely use it and wind up taking the Kodak with me anyway. from Amazon.com Plus, the video cam is great for those times when I just want to pick up a quick short video without hauling out the full-size video camera. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time between charges, so I can take tons of pictures without worrying about losing power. This workhorse lives up to the Kodak reputation. from Amazon.com We have had this camera for over a year now. We have had previous good experiences with kodak cameras, so when we bought this one we were confident that it would take great pics. What a disappointment when we realized that it takes horrible lowlight pictures (I mean, really bad!). from Amazon.com I own a DX 6490 for two years, I have use it in different circunstances and scenarios, I think is a very reliable camera with some outstandings features (for the camera price) like the 10x zoom and the photos shapeness, the 10X optical zoom is something difficult to find in a low-price camera, I know that it is not perfect but I think is good enough for the price payed for it (back in 2003 were about 400$). The photos quality is pretty good enough I have published some of my pictures on magazines and they look "professional" also I have printed some of them and the result is very good, more than what I expected, ofcourse before sending the pictures to printing I did some corrections with Photoshop or ACDSee but thats was just to find the perfection and to correct photografer mistakes not camera flaws. from Amazon.com The same problem developed out of warranty and the repair was quoted at $175. Total garbage. I'll never buy Kodak again. from Amazon.com The powerful zoom takes some getting used to but reading the manual helped out, and when it works it amazes me just how much I can zoom in. The video quality is great too. The easyshare software that came with the camera is hard to use, but that takes nothing away from this camera. I just don't use the software and find that works best. from Amazon.com The controls are standard and very user friendly, and the photo quality is very good. The manual controls seem tricky at first, but after reading the page in the manual about them they're very easy to use and understand. Yet another A+ product from Kodak! from Amazon.com
