The professional world (in their pro SLRs). Of the consumer market (in their EasyShare line), or the very high end of The photo industry, but until now has been restricted to either the low end

Kodak's color and white balance technology has long been among the best in If you're in the market for a very capable long-zoom camera, the EasyShare DX6490 deserves a long, hard look. All in all, the EasyShare DX6490 is easily the best consumer-level digicam Kodak has made to date, and one that will compete very strongly in the popular long-zoom marketplace. Its rich set of features are more than mere marketing hype too, as the DX6490 held up very well throughout my testing, delivering excellent photos under a wide range of conditions. A high-capacity LiIon rechargeable battery is included in the box with the DX6490, adding to the value of the package, and providing generous run times. Its exposure system spans a range of control from fully automatic to fully manual, and an external flash sync connector permits use with external flash units or even studio strobes.

The Kodak EasyShare DX6490 then, comes as a surprise on many fronts, with a 4-megapixel CCD, a high-quality Schneider-Kreuznach 10x optical zoom lens with much lower than average distortion, a capable autofocus system that works down to very low light levels, and an electronic viewfinder system that likewise works very well in dim lighting. While EasyShare cameras have always had very good color and excellent white balance systems, their lens quality was generally appropriate to the 'consumer' market in which they played, and exposure flexibility was generally very limited. With the new EasyShare DX6490 though, Kodak moves beyond pure ease of use (although the camera is still very easy to use in full-auto mode) to encompass a range of capabilities that allow the DX6490 to satisfy the desires of 'enthusiast' photographers as well. Eastman Kodak's 'EasyShare' line of digital cameras have consistently impressed me as living up to their name, being one of the most unfailingly easy to use line of digicams out there.
