It offers the photographer enormous versatility in image composition (Steve's Digicams - 10/20/03)

Good indoor and outdoor pictures and an impressive zoom make the Kodak DX6490 a very capable camera. Startup time is slow, however, and the viewfinder can be difficult to use in bright sunlight. read original review

Kodak's EasyShare digital cameras have consistently proved to be among the easiest to use of any I've tested, and the DX6490 is no exception (Imaging Resource - 10/20/03)

The Kodak DX6490 is simple enough to please beginners, but also offers the features and quality necessary to please more advanced photographers. The camera's low light performance was impressive, and its image color very good, though it did have a tendency to overexpose pictures. read original review

It's a great ultra zoom camera for beginners and amateurs (DC Resource - 10/20/03)

The Kodak DX6490 impressed this reviewer with its ease of use and generally good ("but not excellent") photo quality. It is a better buy than the Fuji S5000. read original review
