"The kodak EasyShare was made to be 'easy' (hence the name) to use, and it is." on by thomasmeisch
Pros: Excellent zoom, Clear well balanced picture, Great easy to use interface. Just enough extra's for the Dad who likes to tinker!
Cons: Compression setting would be nice.
Summary: I own a Nikon D70 digital camera that is 6 mega pixels. Comparing 8x10's from the two cameras I could not see a difference.
The zoom is good up to about 3/4, any more you'll need to get out a tripod.
Feels good in your hand, controls are well place(no cramping in my hand) and 2" screen is awesome.
The Kodak DX6490 is an exception digital camera, easy and fun to use, with just enough extras to keep 98% of the people buying it happy.

I totally agree with thomasmeisch's comments. So when I know I'll be zooming to 380, which I do quite often, I carry along my less than 2 pound tripod. After mastering PhotoShop, I find that whatever I don't like about a photo, I can take care of, just like the guy at Wolf Camera or any of the others that charge an arm & a leg. I bought this camera after my 29 year old Nikon FM died & didn't want to spend alot of money until I could make the transition from film to digital. I made it quite nicely, and liked my choice so much I bought a new model for my daughter-in-law. Now I just wish she'd use it more. Good Luck! I give it a 91/2.

I have used this camera for over a year taking approximately 1500 - 2000 pics. Still on the original battery. I have gotten rave reviews for my pics and have even been asked to sell my pics.<br>Thoroughly delighted.
