Kodak DC260

Opinion: I got excellent image quality

Opinion: This is a quite good digital camera of old ages, nice picutres and quite easy of use.

Opinion: My first digital camera. I have been very pleased with its performance and have shot several hundred photos. 8x10s are sub-optimal. I have lost too many photo opportunities waiting for the camera to get ready after a shot. Being able to shoot rapidly will be a major factor in my next digital camera.

Opinion: This was my first digital camera and is outstanding in many ways: image quality, color, long exposures, etc.. The only faults I have is that it has too slow a shutter speed for action photos, the processing time was a bit slow, and the viewfinder collects stuff on the inside. I have taken about 8000 photos and still use it for point and shoot situations. Good job Kodak!

Opinion: I must say that this camera was great in its time. I have shot the world with this camera. Over 17,000 pictures from all over the globe. I have shot backstage at concerts for websites, and other areas around the world. Even today I see people shooting pix for websites and their camera's do not even come close to the result of the DC260.

I often would print out the pictures I wanted using a HP Deskjet 932c with high grade photo paper. The DC260 would take a wonderful picture with vivid colors for output to a photo size of no more then a 5x7. Most pictures I printed out were no bigger then a 4x6 to get away from jagges.

This camera was the best choice I could have made at the time. It is time to retire the camera as I am moving to the Oly E-20.

Kodak you did a great job with this one!

Opinion: It was one of the best available 3 or so years ago. It takes great pictures.
But if there was one word I would use to describe the DC260 it's SLOW.

Opinion: Had this camera for around 2 years (DC265) and it never gave me a problem with locking up or lost images(2000+) Like others have mentioned it lacks color in low light conditions but for the casual user it's a very nice camera. What I liked most was the menu screen, very easy to use and the software was good and simple. I've since upgraded to a Canon G2 but still use the Kodak software for album management. If you find this camera for a good price buy it, you won't be dissappointed.

Opinion: I purchased the Kodak DC260 a couple of years ago with the panoramic package and tripod head for 360 degree photography. That works great as do most all outdoor shots.

Indoor use has taken me nearly a year to get correct and even still, the poor low light quality (even outdoors at times) creates problems that can not be compensated for. I do a lot of shooting of my daughter's indoor basketball games, and have mixed success with this camera.

I also purchased the lens kit. The wide angle lens gives some incredible shots and the 2x optional zoom also works great. The macro lenses I've only used a couple of times.

This is/was a great camera for its day. It has never locked up on me, nor has it ever scrambled a flash card as others have written about in their reviews. It's been the one digital I could usually count on for a good shot.

With the 5 megapixel cameras out, I plan to keep the Kodak as a backup camera, but move onto the new Sony DSC-F707 with low light and night shot capability. I also have a Toshiba PDR-M21 which is OK for point and shoot occasions but not for serious work.

Opinion: I love this camera. Love the features .. though have never found a good use for the sound record. In low light the colours can be somewhat dull but normally takes a crisp clear and colourful photo. Have the Lens kit .. is a pain to fit and you need to use the viewfinder but has opened up some sensational opportunities especially closeups. I have dropped the camera several times and feared the worst but each time she fires up again. Would love to upgrade to a DC 290. You tend to get far more photo's than the CF card initially indicates eg 30MB card indicates 50 ad generally will get 65 if I fill the card.
