Strengths: Excellent quality pictures at any resolution. Easy to use and transfer pics to computer.
Weakness: Could use more zoom power!!!
Use it at a lot of air shows.. Takes good action shots. When set at 4MPX, blow-ups are un-real. Detail is excellent !!! A little hard to get used to at first due to it's size,(small), but it is overcome by the fact that it can be safely carried in a shirt pocket. Battery life is excellent especially with the throw-away battery..Well worth the money...
Weakness: The rechargeable battery will not hold a charge for longer than a few pictures. I will look for a better zoom lens in the future.
The rechargeable battery will not hold a charge. I followed the instructions for 'conditioning' the battery. The battery would go dead after taking only a few pictures (the way Kodak recommends, NOT using the digital screen in the back as that is a battery hog). Then I sent the entire camera/dock to Kodak to be checked (per Kodak's request). They said it was fine, and 'conditioned' the battery...
Strengths: Beautiful pictures
Weakness: "MICKEY MOUSE" On-off switch , poor Q.C. ,
I owned a DX-3500 that worked excellent & got very good pictures @ 2 megapixels . But I wanted better pictures when I used the Kodak software to take a small portion of a picture and make a full size picture of it with no pixel lines . So I decided to upgrade & gave my camera to my 11 year old granddaughter who takes many pictures with the DX-3500 & loves it . Being the wise old man of the family...
Strengths: Excellent picture quality. You can even get a good picture in pitch darkness with the great flash it has! The best software I have used yet for photos. Quick uploads to your computer. Easy to use.
Weakness: 2x optical and no video.
The best in it's class. It does stunning pictures, has fun and very useful software, and is very easy to use for a price that cannot be beaten. A 64mb flash card gives you 51 pictures at the highest setting. For around $150 more than 2mp cameras that do both picture and video at o.k. quality, this Kodak does pictures that will impress all!
Strengths: easy to use, easy to transfer pics to the computer
Weakness: lens cover IS FLIMSY...after taking 5 pics, mine BROKE and the lens would not retract or focus...basically camera became useless. Returned the camera 2 weeks ago, still waiting for a replacement.
Hoping to get a replacement soon, and am keeping my fingers crossed that the next one doesn't break. Was very disappointed with the cheap manufacture of the lens cover. For a camera of this price, they should have done better. However, I am still willing to give it another chance because the first 5 pics I took were great and it is very easy to use. Just BE CAREFUL, 'cause it's FRAGILE.
Strengths: Very easy to use.Easy transfer of pictures from camera to PC with Docking Station.Shop around for a low price.Viewing pictures on PC looks great and easy with Kodak Software.
Weakness: Doesn't take Mpeg videos. Lens door does seem cheap. More features buttons to press would be nice but can get confusing.
I purchased this at a store instead of on-line for one reason. I bought it at the last minute as a Christmas gift for myself. Was thinking about the Olympus C-4000 but it was a $100 more. I guess that was because it offered 30 second MPEG video capturing. This camera only came with a 16MB Compact flash card which limits you on best quality pictures or amount of pictures if your away from your...
Strengths: Bang for the Buck
Weakness: ?
Just a note to let folks know that Amazon.com has this camera on sale for $319! $329 gets you a Travel Charger, spare battery, and carrying case. PLUS, you get a free 32MB CF card and FREE SHIPPING! It's definitely the best deal going. (AND, you're dealing with a *reputable* firm without a salesman who won't ship your camera without rip-off priced extras, and they have a 30 day return policy.)...
Strengths: The Kodak DX4900 has a very simple user interface. Right out of the box it is "point and shoot". It is also loaded with features for the more advanced user. The One Touch download is quick & easy.
Weakness: The 20" x 30" print capabilities. Who needs to print something this big?
The Kodak DX4900 is a wonderful camera for beginners as well as the more advanced user. It is full of features and has just enough to be a creative photographer without having so many as to be confusing.
Strengths: Easy, simple to operate. Produces fantastic pictures. Any one could use it.
Weakness: Slightly fragile, not built like a tank. Could have used more functions. Zoom (2:1) is rather limiting and the digital zoom does not enhance pictures.
This camera takes absolutely wonderful 4 MP pictures! I would not hesitate in buying it again. I would highly recommend it. Owning a Kodak once again (after a 35 year absence)makes me feel good,also! I use it to take before & after business landscaping pictures and it does a really great job. Make sure it has the features you want before buying.

Strengths: Very good sharp clear images. The digital zoom is excellent.
Weakness: A bit slow when using 4 mp. Also uses batteries up quick. The LCD screen is hard to see outdoors, especially in sunlight.
I love this camera! I have taken more pictures in the last 8 months than I have in my whole life (I'm 48). I entered 12 of my photos in the County Fair and won 12 ribbons! The images are really sharp and clear and I like the fact that you can either use the auto settings or choose your own settings. The only thing I really don't like about it is the LCD screen is hard to see. I like to take macro...
