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.

Customer Reviews of Kodak DC290 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom
22,000 Pics and Still Working Great I bought my DC290 new in November 1999 for $799 from Computers4sure.com ($1099 MSRP). They had just come out. It has been used all over the US, Mexico and Japan to take 22,000 pics! <

>The camera is very slow after about five shots when it is writing to the CF card. It also requires 4 batteries, which wasn't much trouble until I bought a newer Kodak that is faster and only requires two batteries. <
> <
>The picture quality is very good. I always use the lowest compression and largest picture size. It came with a 20MB CF, but I later purchased a 64MB, 256MB and 512MB. Getting ready to buy a 2GB CF, which probably won't work on the DC290. <

>My DC290 is just a spare camera now. I also have a Canon Digital Rebel SLR, a Kodak DX4530 and a Sony U30 (spy camera! SWEET!). <

I agree with Joe Pool
I bought this camera for $300 and have always been happy with it. Takes great pictures, does have some delay, and is a little heavy. I also got the E 11 Error message but I don't have the manual anymore. Now I'm on the hunt to find someone to fix this... If I find anyone, I'll let you all know.

>The E 11 error message was from corruption of the media card, most likely from taking too many pictures too fast, or from not giving the camera time enough to write data to the card before I turned it off. Even after reformatting the card it was useless and I had to throw it away. Shame, but the camera still takes great pics, just give it a little time to shoot, and don't take pictures on low batteries. Could ruin the card.
Kodak DC290
I got one of these Kodak DC290 mid-range cameras, and I am sorry to see that Kodak has suspended production of these units ! I have never had any problems with it, and all the photos I have taken come out wonderfuly. I do recommend the 256MB CF card, and you will want a professional battery pack so it doesn't run out of juice during a photo shoot. One last thing, since it is primarily a USB device, use Windows ME+ with it. 98 seemed to be very slow at data transfer rates. In short, if you can find one of these units(originally $1,000.00) buy it, you won't be dissapointed !
