DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!.......2006-07-11

Unless of course you have plenty of shares in Duracell, Eveready and Rayovac . Bought it new, yrs ago. Right out of the box it sucked up the batteries (included) in 3 minutes. Ok, off to buy more batts, GULP! gone in 2 minutes! Sent it back to Kodak, they said nothing wrong with it. Bought more and better rechargeables this time, now I'm doing more research into battery life than photography!!?? With the best batts you can get, maybe 20 pics... forget trying to have the LCD screen on at same time. Reviews can't be done on batteries cuz it eats the batts, wait to plug in to wall power. Right now it won't power up at all unless plugged to wall socket. Takes great pics but so what if you can't take it anywhere. Now when researching for cameras the first thing I look at is battery life. Canon seems to be good for this. Mark, email harmonyss2002@yahoo.com

camera kodak260.......2004-07-24

The camera met all my expectations. I am performing a good job with the device.

not so good.......2004-05-12

i has read a review of someone talking about "the great" software interface...
yes, i think its great when do you dont use the letter that the software assign to the camera!!! i was instaled the cam, and later, plug a new HD and installed programs there... then, is very hard to uninstall/reinstall all programs cause a new HD letter assignament, then... i try to move the camera letter...
I CANT!! and kodak, have a solution... MOVE YOUR HD LETTER.
im now reinstalling programs like "websphere studio", "MS VC++ 6" and other heavy disk load :(

Superb camera with some shortcomings.......2002-12-26

I have had my DC for over 2 years, it has travelled over 50,000 miles with me all over and I love it. Never once had a problem with it. The camera was "state-of-the-art" in 2000 when I bought it but has been replaced by better ones now.

The Good
Solid construction, reliable
Excellent Image quality !!!!!!
Superbly configurable
Programmable via scripts(write your own scripts)
Decent Zoom and LCD
Fantastic low light photography when you shoot manual and especially indoors within a limited line of sight
All kinds of connections to TV,InfraRed etc
All cables included
SUPER VALUE!

The Not so Good
Bulky!
Battery Bandwidth (throw away alkaline batteries, they last 4-5 pics with LCD on, get a solid NiMH rechargable batt)
LONG WAIT between shots (5-6 second delay)

Overall, a super product, got my money's worth a long time ago. If you find one cheap, go for it. Trust me, unless you are a PRO or techie, a multi meg pixel camera wont make a difference!

The Kodak 260 is a good camera. It has a zoom feature to include exclude things you do not want in a picture. It also gives you the choice of selecting the picture quality based on how you are going to use the pictures (i.e. on screen, 5x7's, 8x10's, etc.) This allows you to increase/decrease the number of pictures you can take before being required to upload or change memory modules. All the selections can be made on the camera using the onscreen display. The camera has a lot of functions and can also transfer picture using the infra-red connector. It comes with software and cables to connect to your computer in the case that you don't have an infra-red port. Overall I would rate this camera 4 of 5 stars.
