Kodak EasyShare DX6440
Kodak EasyShare DX6440 Reviews: I happened to see this while I was browsing for accessories. I can’t believe it is still available. I bought mine back in, I think Spring ‘04. I’d had an older digital and it was time to upgrade. After much searching and reading, I settled on this camera. I have not been disappointed. Even though it is 4 megapixels and I have it set down to about 3.2, I get beautiful, clear, sharp pictures-still. The difference I have found is in the lens. The German made Schneider, Kreuznach lens makes a world of difference in the picture quality. I’ve looked at newer camera’s and of course noted the lens type, but to tell you the truth, this little 6440 gets such great quality I can’t quite justify getting a new one.
Even on it’s normal auto setting I am able to catch action shots of my granddaughter sliding and swinging, even water mid air. I haven’t even bothered with the action setting. The only complaint I have, and it really doesn’t qualify as one, is the telephoto shots are blurred I get around that when editing in zooming and cropping, and when I take several shots in a row the shutter speed slows down. A good choice still for a point and shooter and for great vacation pics.
Kodak EasyShare DX6440 Reviews: I was really supprise by the quality of the picture, the reaction speed, and the easy operation of this camera. First, It is solidly built, doesn’t look cheap at all. Second, it is very easy to operate, I didn’t even bother to read manual. Third, it has very quick response, not only swift in startup, but also quick in focus and fire. Most important, after I shot around, the pictures came out all very good, sharply focused with vivid colors. Some minor problem, like all Kodak camera, the image is a bit over processed. it make picture looks better, and also losing some fine details. sometime, the grey over white background is not very well separated. Still I highly recommend it, I think it is a better choice than equivalent model from Canon and others.
Kodak EasyShare DX6440 Description: Snap a picture with the DX6440 and you’ll be impressed by your photographic genius. Something else sure to impress is its professional-quality Schneider Kreuznach Variogon lens. The DX6440 also features programmed scene modes for a quick, simple solution for common situations so you get the shot you want, just the way you want it.
Kodak EasyShare DX6440 Reviews: This is my 4th Kodak digital camera. I have been pleased with the previous versions and bought this because I knew the interface world be familiar. While it has been a good camera, it seems Kodak has eliminated a couple advanced features. Additionally, there are cameras out there that do the same things with similar features, & resolution but are half the size. The lens is commendable & the use of two AA batteries is advantageous. the SD card appears to be the leading media for digital cameras, Kodak is wise to stick with this technology. Originally, It thought the dock was a great perk, but it became more “clutter” around my computer, however, when I thought I could put it in a closet, I found I could no longer charge the batteries without it. As I write this, I am awaiting a new digital camera a Canon Digital Elph.
Kodak EasyShare DX6440 Reviews: I bought this camera for the reviews on ease of use since my wife wanted something to point and shoot but she doesn’t often get to use it because I have enjoyed it so much. It is as simple to use as people say but it also has a LOT of additional and more advanced features as well. Also, the docking station and accompanying software make it a snap to download pictures so I’m never even temped to just leave them on the camera “for later”. Love it and would recommend it to others.
Kodak EasyShare DX6440 Reviews: I bought this camera about 3 weeks ago and I love it. It is so easy to use. I was taking pictures 5 minutes after I took the camera out of the box. This is my first digital camera and I could not be happier. I am not going to repeat what all the other positive reviews have said. My only complaint I have is with the included Easyshare software. It makes transferring of pictures very easy, but your restricted to the Kodak picture format. Also this software will override any default .jpg or .tiff viewers you may use. The picture editing software is ok, but there are better programs out there. My biggest complaint is the e-mail feature. You can e-mail, but you can not use Outlook. You must e-mail via the Kodak program which goes through a Kodak mail server. It takes a long time for the pictures to be sent. I e-mailed some pictures and it took over an hour for my friend to get them. So I would recommend not installing this program.
Finally as other have mentioned, you do need to buy a memory card. I recommend 256MB,which on the second best picture setting 3:2 MP, I can get over 300 pictures. The best picture setting 4MP gives you about 270 pictures. I used and printed on both settings and I could not tell a difference between the two settings. As for battery life it is very good provided you do not use the quick view feature. Without the feature I could take over 200 pictures on the rechargable battery. With the feature on around 150.
