Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The bottom line on the best camera for business just got better. The praise for its predecessor, the KODAK DC260 Zoom Digital Camera, was as universal as it was effusive. Impressive? Sure. But just wait'll you see the quantum leaps Kodak made with the KODAK DC265 Zoom Digital Camera. We're talking faster start up and faster processing. A faster preview rate. So you'll be dazzled sooner by its 1.6 million (1536 x 1024) pixel Megapixel Plus resolution - enough detail for photo-realistic 8" x 10" prints with spectacular color and sharpness. Kodak even tripled its multi-picture burst capability. And gave it better battery life. In other words, it's the same incredible camera. Only better.

5.0 out of 5 stars top quality 35mm prints from your PC, November 25, 1999

DMP (Roanoke, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kodak DC265 Digital Camera (Electronics)

I've had this camera for 4 months, so I think I know it. PROS: GREAT picture quality for 5x7 or 8x10 prints (rivals my 35mm Canon EOS, which I have sold on ebay). Small but solid feel to it. Now comes with NiMH batteries which last a long time, and comes with a plug-in charger. Actually is a great looking camera-will impress your friends. Has its own internet-upgradeable OS, easy to use, but gives you many options for shooting, much like a full featured 35mm SLR. CONS: Tiny optical viewfinder, takes some getting use to. LCD screen fine for reviewing, but unlike Sony is just about unuseable for taking shots. Must get use to 2 sec delay from pushing shutter button till picture is actually taken.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent first digital camera, December 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kodak DC265 Digital Camera (Electronics)

I did alot of research on digital cameras before settling on this one. I purchased the DC265 with the lens kit (fun to play with) and a 32MB card with PCMCIA adapter. The PCMCIA adapter is excellent and works very easily with my PowerBook G3 (OS9) and Windows 95 and 98 laptops I also use. The card appears as a hard disk on your desktop and the photos can be edited, copied, deleted, renamed, etc. right on the card - VERY COOL! If you wanted to you could use the card to back up just about any type of data, not just photos! Photoshop plugin is also useful. You will also want the optional AC adapter. Photo quality is excellent even on the lowest resolution and superb on the highest! The only cons are a (sort of) noisy lens movement on zoom, and the fact that closeups don't come out framed exactly right since the lens and viewfinder are a bit off from one another it seems. After a few practice shots you will easily figure out how to compensate for this, however. You will get used to the slight digital delay when taking a photo, as mentioned in other reviews, but it is not a show-stopper. LCD is very useful and the batteries (and included charger) are great and last a long time, even with the LCD on. At low resolution/best quality setting you can easily fit 200 pictures on the 32MB card! This camera wins my vote unless you can afford one of the $2000 models!

1.0 out of 5 stars not so great, August 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kodak DC265 Digital Camera (Electronics)

I have had one for about 2 months and cons are starting to outwiegh the pros. The viewfinder came with plastic shavings inside of it, after pressing the shutter, it takes seconds to take the photo, almost all motion is blured and it changes red to a pinkish color sometimes. the camara is akward to hold, the lcd screen displays 3 different seprate images when the camara is moving. There are more cons and a few pros, but Im running out of space
