The size and weight of the DC240 is very similar to an automatic 35mm camera, a surprising plus over most digital cameras on the market today. The cost, on the other hand, definitely sets it in a class with higher technology. Maybe you've sworn at it when you took a bad shot, but you've probably never said anything more. Try the Kodak DC265 and that may change. Some like it hard.
Some people spur computers and operating systems that make work easy, preferring to rough it.
They build their own machines and know their way around a command line interface. Those people may enjoy using the Nikon Coolpix 950, a 2.11 megapixel camera that comes with an 8 MB CompactFlash card. Leading the pack is the Kodak DC280. Today's digital cameras offer all the advantages of digital photography without usually requiring a novel of a manual to get started. One of the latest entries in this competitive market is Agfa's ePhoto CL50.
