How do I get Kodak EasyShare DX6490 4MP Digital Camera w/ 10x Optical Zoom and Camera Dock

A surprise contender.By S. MarraPluses:Fantastic OS X support (the EasyShare software is very iPhoto like in execution).Huge LCD and a wonderful Electronic Viewfinder (with excellent low-light capabilities for framing shots that would otherwise be impossible with other cameras).The easiest learning curve I've ever seen for a digital camera in this price range.A thorugh and easy to follow instruction manual.A top-notch german lens and 10x optical zoom.Acceptable video recording.Hot shoe for an outboard flash.Minuses:Lack of manual focus control.Lack of TIFF support (camera is JPG only, but this probably won't matter to 99% of the users who buy this product).A little small for my hands (o.k., though I'm a big guy, I might be reaching on this one).Conclusion:I was prepared to buy an Olympus 740/750 Camedia, but, after looking over the DX6490, I was sold on the Kodak's simple design and thoughtful control layout. This model is for the person looking for the easiest digital camera to use in its price range. A great camera for my wife, who doesn't know enough about photography to miss the manual focus, but still a great camera for me- as it offers enough control over shutter speeds and aperture for tough shots.If power + ease of use is the right combination for you, you owe it to yourself to check this camera out. That said, shy away from the Canon A60/A70 series- they are hard to figure out, comparatively, plus their manuals might as well be written in Greek. -Steve(n) MarraSee all 79 customer reviews... »» Read more about Kodak EasyShare DX6490 4MP Digital Camera w/ 10x Optical Zoom and Camera Dock.
