I bought the Kodak DC200 quite a while ago, before the real digital revolution which seems to have exploded recently! This camera cost me a devastating £300, and that was about 3 years ago. Nevertheless it still serves its function today. This is a disused product, so you wont be able to find it in the shops, but by no means is it really outdated,
The DC200 takes 4 AA batteries, has 24-bit, millions of colors, weighs 330 g, and has a LCD viewfinder. The batteries run down pretty quickly, so use rechargeable!
Now you know what it has, is it a good camera?
Well, yes and no. My main problem is that it is so large, it is even quite tricky to fit in your pocket! In these modern times it seems that a camera has to do so much more than take photos. This DC200 has no zoom, can not take short clips or do anything technologically outstanding. It does, however take really good photos which can be viewed on the television (this is excellent for when friends and family are over) or on the computer…
It comes with Corel software which has proved to be really quite effective. Edit your photos, or simply just print them it works well, quickly, and with no problems so typical of modern software.
The camera uses compact flash storage, but only comes with 4mb worth. If you want the DC200 to be of any real use you will need to buy a bit more memory (128mb costs about £30).
So to sum up, this is a good camera for taking photos and looking at them. But, surely this is all you really need?
Please rate this review, it would be really appreciated!

Nice concise review! If you WERE getting a new digital camera, what new features would you look for, other than for smaller size, and less power hungry.. Cheeers, Jo
