The specification and price (US499) are highly competitive!! Unfortunately, this DC is produced by Kodak, but not Canon/Sony/Nikon/Minolta.....

好似真係好正咁喎，價錢又平，我一向都吾介意牌子...
但係好多香港人都只係追日本野...我就冇所謂，Kodak都係非常大公司黎呀..
部野C/P值真係好高喎，我諗我都會考慮佢..

Kodak 6490 跟 Olympus C750UZ 的規格十分相似, 同樣是 38mm - 380mm, F2.8, 4MP, PASM mode, EVF..... 比較特別的是這部機使用了柯達最新的 Color Science 影像處理晶片. 但是還有很多資料不知道, 例如ISO, 是否用AA電, 能否像DX6340/6440般加外鏡都不太清楚. 另外, 有點美中不足是外型沒有像富士FinePix S5000 那麼好看.....不過我很有興趣購買這部美系相機.

toracat :

謝謝你的資料, 很有用. 這部新機不能用AA電 ?! 很不方便啊. 另外也不知道能否加外鏡呢......

這部機用上了跟DX6440那樣大的2.5 CCD (DX6430是2.7), 我看過一些DX6440 拍的照片, 效果很滿意啊.

期望DX6490早點推出, 如價錢是三千多就更好啦 !

[vkwtsui]

資料顯示定價是499美元，即是4000有找…：）

[toracat]

refer to 6440..... I think 6490 is about HK$3,800.00 or something

I originally want to buy F200....but now I will choose minolta Z1 or Kodak 6490...

[zhcc]

我覺得數碼相機差不多全是日系. 不知怎麼的我反而想擁有一部美系相機 .
也許是想起柯達, 就想到菲林, 想到照片. 現在出了這麼一部功能齊全的相機, 我希望可以拿著這部相機, 去記錄生活的片段....

柯達公司正式發布了.
