Product Description
Kodak DC290 Zoom digital camera takes brilliant, dazzling pictures, thanks to 2.1 megapixel high/3.3 megapixel Ultra resolution. But what makes it the ultimate in digital flexibility and control is its ability to "learn" scripts and applications - much like you'd customize your PC with different software applications. Adjust, edit and apply special effects. Control and customize camera settings. Create animations. All right inside the camera. Whether it's for the most demanding business applications or sophisticated personal use, the DC290 is one very smart purchase.The camera's lens optically extends to 3X with no loss in quality, plus camera can "digitally" zoom an additional 2X for added flexibility. DIGITA scripting means you control everything from adding text and sound, to storing and cataloging pictures, to color balance and contrast - all right inside the camera. You'll be able to add new scripts and applications as they become available. Kodak DC290 Zoom is the only camera in its class to combine burst, audio and time-lapse functionality. You get more picture-taking options. The camera provides less waiting and faster results, with full USB support that lets you download up to 10x faster than serial interfaces. As new features and capabilities evolve, you'll be able to update the DC290 over the Internet. It's fast, easy and incredibly convenient.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Kodak DC290 digital camera offers some of the most sophisticated features available on a consumer digital camera. While it's no lightweight, the DC290 can offer you quite a bit if you need professional-level quality and customization. It delivers two-megapixel resolution (1,792 x 1,200) for fine detail even on large image sizes--plus it lets you take uncompressed TIFF images for no-loss photo quality. It also lets you record and play back audio clips. It uses Kodak's easy-to-use menu system, one of the most intuitive we've seen in the digital camera realm.
The Kodak DC290 includes a 3x optical/2x digital zoom. The built-in flash comes with four modes, including red-eye reduction. Special camera modes include time lapse and burst modes as well as auto and manual exposure settings. The Digita scripting feature gives you additional control and customization--you can use it to add text and sound, catalog pictures, and adjust color balance and contrast.
The Kodak DC290 has a large, bright 2-inch LCD monitor and includes a generous 16 MB CompactFlash memory card. The camera supports USB connectivity for fast, cross-platform downloads. It comes with 4 AA batteries and an AC adapter; however, like all digital cameras, it drains batteries quickly. We recommend investing in a set of rechargeables.

Terrible Kodak Support.......2003-10-12
I went to a couple of camera shops around Dallas, TX, but apparently only Kodak's service center in Illinois has access to replacement parts.
Called Kodak and got the address to send it to along with an authorization number. They wanted $342 to replace the firmware. It only cost $369 when new! When I refused to pay this, they still charged me $45 to get it mailed back.
I will never buy another Kodak, and if this review sways others from buying a Kodak - I will be happy. **Kodak: This is terrible service and disrespect to customers who drop a lot of money for one of your products.**
If anyone wants to offer me anything for this camera (maybe someone out there knows how to repair it), feel free to contact me with an offer. (11-October-2003) Sorry, but Amazon won't let me leave my email address. ~Joe Pool
