Advantages: Brand, Quality, easy to use, zoom, good bundled software Disadvantages: Not the smallest camera, Poor on Batteries
...First Digital Camera was the Kodak DC25 which I was very happy with and knew I would be getting the exact same high quality upon buying another Kodak Camera.
The Camera is very easy to use, it comes with all cables, some software and a Compact Flash card and a set of battries to get you started. It has a nice user friendly interface to change resolution, settings and view your pictures. It's Easy set up so you could lend this camera to friends and ... ...and shoot camera, it even looks like one!. Infact once setup to the optimum settings for your preference you could take this out with you instead of your regular camera.
It includes a flash, a 2x Zoom Lens, & an LCD screen & regular Viewfinder so it will suit either preference.
Another nifty feature is that the camera allows you to display images on your memory cards directly on your TV screen, the composite video cable to do this is even included ...

Advantages: Good quality, compact, every cable needed supplied, easy to use Disadvantages: Professional photographers may require a higher image resolution
Having been using my Kodak DC210+ for two and a half years now, it still has many, many more years left in it, which I will definitely get out of it.
The maximum resolution (1152 × 864) is more than adequate for use as a home or small business camera, and the two file types supported (JPG and Flashpix) and the different compressions of those mean that many combinations of image quality can be experimented with for your needs.
All the features are ... ...and use. The LCD screen is of excellent quality, and can also be used like a video camera for composing pictures. There is an optical 2x wideangle zoom lens and a close-up mode which functions very well. The focus of a picture is naturally in the centre, but this can be changed by half-pressing the take picture button whilst the subject is lined up in middle, and then moving the camera to the desired location before finally pressing the button all ...

...for people to view. But Kodak have a website where you can submit pictures and they will professionally print them for around 20p per picture. (I have not try this service so I do not know how good it is.) The DC210 is basically the same as the DC215 but the DC215 has updated firmware that is available via the web. The memory cards range from 4MB (20 pounds) to 32MB (70 pounds). Overall this is a good all-purpose camera for an amateur photographer ...

Advantages: Good pics, and easy-ti-use Disadvantages: Not the smallest out there
I've been using this camera for just over 18 months now, and am very pleased with my purchase, although I do look enviously at some of the smaller cameras that are appearing now.
That having been said, size apart, (and it's not actually that big), it's a great camera. Picture quality is better than many of the smaller cameras, and in just about all lighting situations, it takes great shots.
The camera comes with an OK case, and an 8MB Compact Flash. ... ...modes, and you can mix-and-match on the same CF. I tend to run in "Better", "High" which lets me fit around 40 snaps onto my CF card. At the lowest quality, 120 pictures are possible. I have a 32 Meg card, which I use in my Psion Series 5mx, which gives me several hundred snaps, should I need them.
With a 2x optical zoom, and the ability to zoom in to get a closer look on screen, getting a good shot is easy, and managing images on the camera is ...

Advantages: Great quality pictures Disadvantages: Very slow to download
I bought a Kodak DC210 plus ,as I wanted a digital camera and trusted Kodak would be a safe bet.I looked at a few other around the same price range but liked the way the Kodak looked, and I knew Kodak was a good name.
It takes great pictures,what you'd expect from a digital camera and it came with a 8mg card which stores 56 standard qauality and 12 full quality pictures.I went out and bought a 32mg card which stores 256 standard and 112 high quality ... ...your'e going on holiday and are worried about having no space left on the card,this helps.
Downloading was very slow especially if youv'e got lots of photos to put on your PC.So I bought a USB card reader which downloads them in seconds.(this was £50)
So although a great camera,I needed to buy extras which bumped up the price,reasonable price for the camera. ...

...relatively easy to use. The Kodak fulfills all these criterea and so far it has been good fun to use. The results are excellent, you can view the image on the viewing screen at the back of the camera, although it is difficult to see in bright sunlight. If you don't like the picture simply delete and take another one. Different picture frame styles can be used to enhance your image, although I haven't found need to use these very often. The camera ... ...cards, and will certainly minmise the download time. Once you have downloaded that Kodak provide you with various bits of software to edit the images and get them just how you want them.

Advantages: Compact, lightweight, easy-to-use, easy connection, high photo capacity with large smartcard Disadvantages: Short battery life
Having purchased the Kodak DC210 over two years ago, I've certainly used my money's worth. I have three smartcards - the 4Mb card that came with the camera, and another 4Mb one. I then purchased a 48Mb for just over £100 while in Spain. Since then, I haven't used the 4Mb cards once - the larger card can hold approxiamtely 800 average quality photographs, and about 200 excellent quality photographs. The DC210 has the mega-pixel status, meaning that ... ...or are downloadable from the Kodak website). The only drawback is that using the computer screen is a bit of an 'power guzzler', and your average AA batteries will last about 10 minutes if all you do is view the pictures.

...as I think that the Kodak 210 has sort of moved to that status. I have had mine for 18 months now and although I have newer more compact models now the DC210 has a slight nostalgic feel to it or retro feel. It always has been a comfortable fit but it is bulky by todays standards. The photo quality is good and the capacity is still there with its newer brothers. Its computer grey colour is somewhat refreshing in todays world of Mac coloured monstrosities ...

Overall, a good camera. Small Compact (If you can live with the outlandish styling). The display on the back is small but clear but can use up batery power quickly. Turning off the display will enhance the life of the batteries considerably. The Compact Flash card is easy to get in and out and relatively inexpensive now.

...in the "musicians" reference image.) Kodak has always been identified with good color rendition, in both the analog and digital realms. We felt that their earlier digital camera models (notably the DC40 and DC50) went a little too far in the area of color saturation though, frequently producing ruddy flesh tones. The DC210 however, is absolutely superlative in its color management: Bright colors look really bright, while pastels and flesh tones appear ... ...macro function is also very good. Although it doesn't reach the "microscopic" levels of some devices on the market, it will be more than adequate for any normal close-up requirement, providing excellent detail and a full-frame coverage of roughly 5.66 x 4.24 inches (14.4 x 10.8 cm). (The small brooch in the "macro" test shot is about 1.05 inches (27 mm) wide.) Although the combination of fixed focus with "live" LCD preview in the macro mode worked ...

Kodak DC210 Plus Zoom Camera
This is a very good digital camera. It’s very simple to use and easy to learn about.
The zoom in function is very good and the quality of the pictures are decent.
There are a few disadvantages though.
You can only store 20 pictures on the camera at once before downloading and deleting. The downloading is not that quick really using the software given with the camera which is Picture Easy 3.1.
Also it gives you a ...
