ric wrote:
hi all, i'm after a new digi camera - i want the following: * some manual control: program shift at the least, aperture priority would be nice * decent optical zoom * doesn't use sony memory sticks or XD cards * at least 3.2MP * *fast* operation - can't stand the 5 second delay i currently have between pics. this is important! * reasonably small and cheap * has an "idiot mode" for snaps any suggestions? i was looking at the kodak dc6490... You might check the Kodak DX6440/7440 for 'pocketable' size. I would HOPE that there will soon be a 7490 to enhance the line as well. All the cameras mentioned have all the features you require. |

Greetings Ric,
You made a good choice, but there are others that might do just as well. From the sound of your email, it appears you are really after good point and shoot type camera that you can count on. If you want to grow into something more sophisticated later, then the DX6490 is a good choice as it has lots of great features. If you do not plan on doing any creative or more sophisticated shooting then look at some of the others that are out there now. If you want to spend the money for a good camera like the DX6490, then for around $300 US you can get some really nice cameras. For less than that, you can get the DX6440 which has lots of features it is a 4 megapixel camera and several preset modes for general use. The more current 7000 series cameras will provide the same but with additional easy to use features. If your interest is in Kodak cameras, please visit the Kodak website for details on all of these cameras. Go to: http://www.kodak.com/go/digitalcameras or http://www.kodak.com/go/compare If you have any questions about these cameras and what you might be able to do with them, let me know. I am here for you.
