Kodak DC4800 Digital Camera

The DC4800 represents the present (July, 2000) top of their consumer digicam lineup, and is their first consumer camera to break the 3 megapixel barrier. As we'll see though, the DC4800 represents more than just an increase in pixel count relative to earlier Kodak cameras, but also provides significantly more picture-taking control than earlier Kodak consumer models. Oh and just to make sure nobody misses it, we'll say right up front that the DC4800 takes beautiful pictures with brilliant color excellent resolution. Minimize

Picture this in astonishing colors

Author's Rating:

Pros: vivid colors, astonishing picture quality and details, great design and ergonomics, USB

Cons: battery drains fast, bad focus in low-light conditions

Bottom Line:
This is a “one size fits all”, that can be a point-and-shoot and then transform itself into a good manual camera. I'm totally in love with mine. Read More

Looks like a normal camera & works like a normal camera

Author's Rating:

Pros: Great features & price. Good for beginner or advanced users. 3.1 megapixels. It's a Kodak.

Cons: Learning curve is steep for advanced features. Lens cap not attached. Worthless software package.

Bottom Line:
Probably one of the best 3.1 megapixels cameras you'll get for this price with this many features, plus it's a Kodak, they've been making pictures for decades. Read More
