Kodak EasyShare DX6490

The DX6490 brings a new face to the Kodak EasyShare range. It's been restyled, bigger, bolder and more impressive that any other camera in the range. If Kodak follows this route then they'll have a very good camera range on their hands.

10x optical zoom, EasyShare button

Focus hard to control

One problem we did have when using this camera- something affecting most cameras within the UZ genre -is that when you are fully zoomed with both the digital and optical zoom (30x in this case) the camera's focus becomes very hard to control.

This camera is a pleasure to use and handle. It(tm)s quick and responsive with plenty of clout. The image quality doesn(tm)t disappoint, either, although the colours it produces may be a little overcooked for some tastes. The lens also captures plenty...

Review of the Kodak DX 6490 - Digital SLR Reviews

kodak Easyshare DX6490 Digital Camera Camera

The EasyShare DX6490 straddles the line between our point-and-shoot and advanced camera chart categories. On the one hand, it has Kodak's helpful onscreen text aids, which explain what the camera is doing and how to use a particular function; it works...

Kodak also provides a rechargeable battery (Fujifilm does not for the S5000). In our battery tests, the DX6490 still had power to spare after 500 shots--our self-imposed testing limit. Cameras that reach that threshold automatically earn a score of...

Kodak EasyShare DX6490 review

After a long crusade to find the ideal digital concept, Kodak has set his mind on the EasyShare system. This concept has grown to be the base of the digital camera system for the last few years and in my opinion a concept that gets a high score on the...
