Summary: Kodak 4900
Review: Upon recommendation from friends and reading reviews at the time, we purchased the Kodak DX4900. The camera takes pretty good pictures and the software is fun to use to edit pictures. We have been disappointed in the battery life/or whatever is causing "dead camera" problem. Recently, after communicating with Kodak, we found out that you are not suppose to keep your camera on the dock unless you shoot pictures every day. "It decreases the life of the battery". Nice to find this out over 1 year later. We cannot take more than 6-10 pictures then the camera shuts down; sometimes you can tweak 2-3 pictures out by popping the battery out and putting back in. We have done all the correct battery charges, bought several rechargable batteries and still continue to have problems. It is very frustrating to have spent $500.00+ on the camera, batteries, dock and memory cards to have these kind of problems. And the solution is to have them fix it for $150-200.00, trade it in for a comparible model--DX6340 (for $216.00 plus the cost of a new dock and memory cards) or to get rid of the Kodak brand (eat all the money invested) and get something better. After the many negative reviews, especially about the battery problems and the service issue with Kodak...we probably will go with the latter. If you decide to buy this camera...advice...get the extended warranty...or you may be sorry.

Summary: Fair first-time digital camera
Review: I enjoyed this camera for the first year. It was bulky, but it was my first digital camera and I enjoyed how easy it was to use. After a year the camera started acting sluggish and buggy. The LCD Screen stopped working, the battery life was sporadic. Sometimes only a three or four shots and it was dead. Talk about missing important photos!! Then one day it locked up on me. Contacted Kodak and for $150 they repaired it. The camera worked well for 2 1/2 months and then I had all of the same problems again. Contacted Kodak and they said sorry the repair warranty is only good for 45 days!! Today I bought a Canon s400 from Amazon. Will not buy from Kodak again!!
