I bought this camera when it first came out in 1998 for $700 + TAX!!!!

This is what i got: Unnatural blurry pictures, 4 AA batteries run out after 10 shots, no options, slow shutter speed, zoom sucks, have to wait forever between pictures, uses old compact flash, slow transfer rate (serial port, 1 min per pic!), software sucks (wont install on newer versions of windows), no lens cap, nowhere to hold on while taking pictures.

Please, go and get yourself a real camera. You can get one 10 times better for the same price. Try Cannon, Nikon, HP ...... Kodak is not the anwser!!!!!!

As digital cameras with better resolution appear, the Kodak DC-210 seems perhaps outdated. But it is not. For pictures to insert into web pages, it is perfect. The DC-210 has a large LCD for viewing photos, and a two to one optical zoom lens. Using CF memory, getting pictures from the camera to your computer is very easy. It even works on my Amiga 3000. If there is any problem with the camera, it is the short battery life. You will go through a lot of AA alkalines if you use the LCD much, but that is not a serious problem. Just don't pay a whole lot for the DC-210, as new cameras in the 1.1 megapixel class are now under $100.

If you are looking for speed this is not your camera. I love it! I am more into quality of pictures rather than the speed I can take them. This camera lets you view every picture right after you take it and immediatly decide if you want ot keep it. I take all my pictures on the best quality and I think they are great! If you use the duracell ultra battery you shouldn't have a problem.

Initially the camera worked fine. Pictures were of good quality and all features worked fine. After only a few months the camera's performance has dropped considerably. Brand new batteries only last for about 12 pictures, the camera doesn't even power up at times even with new batteries. If you check the other reviews you'll find equally frustrating problems others have had with the DC210. Consumer Reports' Nov 2002 issue contains Kodax's repair history which speaks for itself. The same issue also provides excellent alternative cameras with superior features at much lower cost. My advice: Don't waste your hard earned cash on the overpriced, poor performing DC210.

I guess I expected more from Kodak. This camera takes a long time to turn on, a long time between pictures, and a long time to transfer pictures. Picture quality was adequate. Wouldn't work in the cold, and stopped working all toghether shortly after the warranty ran out. Not recommended.
