4.0 out of 5 stars This camera is pretty darn good, October 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kodak DC210 Plus Digital Camera (Electronics)

I bought one of these camera's for my office about 2 years ago after reading reviews of various digital cameras in a computer magazine. It turned out to be a great buy. It is a very easy to use and takes pretty good photos. I liked it so much, that I ended up buying one for myself.

There are a couple of problems with this camera:

If you use the LCD panel(for previewing pictures you have taken), your batteries (4 AAs) will be drained - FAST.

The 4 mg memory card that comes with this camera is really not enough. I would recommend that anyone buying this camera buy the 32mg chip. With 32mg, (and the 4mg card) you can take more about 130-140 photos at the highest resolution (the recommended resolution if you want to print your photos). This makes the camera great to take on vacations - you don't have to worry about running out of memory.

It takes a long time to transfer photos to a computer. I recommend getting the Parallel Picture Card Reader (from Kodak) which will make the photo transfer lots faster.

Buying these various accessories does add to the cost of the camera, but it is well worth it.

The print quality of these pictures is pretty good (although NOT regular photo quality). You can upload your photos to Kodak and they will print them and send them to you through the mail. Also, they will set up a URL where your friends and family can see and order your uploaded photos.

As much as I love this camera, I think that I will eventually buy a higher end version (maybe the Kodak 260) so that I can have better print quality for my photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't worry about the battery life, December 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kodak DC210 Plus Digital Camera (Electronics)

This is a fantastic camera - I've had mine for over 12 months and have taken over 3000 pictures with it. Never a problem and seldom a bad shot.

Don't listen to people grumbling about battery life. Spend a couple of dollars more and buy two sets of AA size Ni-Cad rechargable batteries (8 in all) plus a charger, and you'll never think about the cost of batteries again. The carry case even comes with elastic holders to carry the batteries in.

Great camera. I recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars takes great pics, but has sorry battery life, October 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kodak DC210 Plus Digital Camera (Electronics)

The camera's software is incredible, this is a definite upgrade over the sony mavica. Pictures are crisp and clear, especially when using the high res flashpix mode. Only gripe about the caamera is battery life. Expect about 8 hours from a set of four. I found turning off the auto preview helps. They also sell some great Ni-Mh rechargeables that last about twice as long. Overall a great camera...
