Paul, Nicht zu danken. I believe that the latest 2+ megapixel Kodak DC 280 is an exciting entry at the amateur level, while the Kodak DC 290 is targeted at the corporate market. Either way, these cameras surpass the standard set by the DC 210+/DC 240 and the DC 265, respectively. I did not fathom the success Kodak has had with the semi-professional applications until I read an article in Mobile Computing this week. For example, digital photography has turned the insurance business on its head as a perfect fit for paperless claims submission on the road from a laptop. The PCMCIA compatibility is "just what the Dr. ordered". USAA anticipates several million dollars in savings over the next five years on the basis of reduced photo developing costs (and time efficiencies) after outfitting their ranks with DC 265's. The price points Kodak has set for the consumer market are still a bit high in my estimation, that being in the range of $650 for the latest model (DC 280). Their older generation 1+ megapixel cameras are now selling in the $300-400 range. Ausdauer
