The KODAK DC290 Digital Camera takes brilliant, dazzling pictures, thanks to 3.3 megapixel Ultra resolution. But what makes it the ultimate in digital flexibility and control is its ability to "learn" scripts and applications - much like you'd customize your PC with different software applications. Adjust, edit and apply special effects. Control and customize camera settings. Create animations. All right inside the camera. Whether it's for the most demanding business applications or sophisticated personal use, the DC290 is one very smart purchase.

It is a replacement for a ancient Kodak gel imaging system. It looks that it has been through a lot, but works just fine. Price was a bit high considering the age, feature and the condition of the thing.

I bought my DC290 new in November 1999 for $799 from Computers4sure.com ($1099 MSRP). They had just come out. It has been used all over the US, Mexico and Japan to take 22,000 pics!
The camera is very slow after about five shots when it is writing to the CF card. It also requires 4 batteries, which wasn't much trouble until I bought a newer Kodak that is faster and only requires two batteries.
The picture quality is very good. I always use the lowest compression and largest picture size. It came with a 20MB CF, but I later purchased a 64MB, 256MB and 512MB. Getting ready to buy a 2GB CF, which probably won't work on the DC290.
My DC290 is just a spare camera now. I also have a Canon Digital Rebel SLR, a Kodak DX4530 and a Sony U30 (spy camera! SWEET!).

I bought this camera for $300 and have always been happy with it. Takes great pictures, does have some delay, and is a little heavy. I also got the E 11 Error message but I don't have the manual anymore. Now I'm on the hunt to find someone to fix this... If I find anyone, I'll let you all know.
*** Update:
The E 11 error message was from corruption of the media card, most likely from taking too many pictures too fast, or from not giving the camera time enough to write data to the card before I turned it off. Even after reformatting the card it was useless and I had to throw it away. Shame, but the camera still takes great pics, just give it a little time to shoot, and don't take pictures on low batteries. Could ruin the card.

I bought this camera just over a year ago for $369. The camera worked great, then mysteriously started displaying an E11 code when I tried to turn it on. When I looked into the Owner's Manual, I found that E11 indicates corrupt firmware.
I went to a couple of camera shops around Dallas, TX, but apparently only Kodak's service center in Illinois has access to replacement parts.
Called Kodak and got the address to send it to along with an authorization number. They wanted $342 to replace the firmware. It only cost $369 when new! When I refused to pay this, they still charged me $45 to get it mailed back.
I will never buy another Kodak, and if this review sways others from buying a Kodak - I will be happy. **Kodak: This is terrible service and disrespect to customers who drop a lot of money for one of your products.**
If anyone wants to offer me anything for this camera (maybe someone out there knows how to repair it), feel free to contact me with an offer. (11-October-2003) Sorry, but Amazon won't let me leave my email address. ~Joe Pool
