Kodak DCS 620

The paper I work for uses these cameras exclusively for our day-to-day shooting, and the entire staff loves them. The color on these cameras, especially at lower ISO settings is absolutely fantastic...in my opinion, the color rendering and saturation on this camera at 200 well exceeds that of color negative film. It''s truly a shame that Kodak no longer makes these, because I honestly think it''s the best general-purpose pro digital camera ever made...all my experiences with the Nikon D1 make me feel like it''s a step down from the 620.

Beautiful color, LCD screen and menus easy to use once you get the hang of them, good tolerance for poor exposure (particularly underexposed images) and poor white-balancing

Hinges for the battery door wear out after regular use, heavy compared to newer ditcams

now that the 6 million pixel wonders are here you can buy a used one cheap - and be done with it. you will never look back

i bought this camera used at ebay - its near mint. what can i say: i stop short to take this camera to bed with me. i have been shooting with nikons since i bought a F2 new in the 70s - but this by far the best camera i ever owned. i handles like a ferrari - and the thrill is to view the pictures seconds after you pressed the shutter. unbelievable color and shadow-details - something i could never achieve with film so easy. i make 40x50 cm prints with ease, using genuine fractals. i think this will be the last camera i will ever own.

big, heavy, accus last only for 100-200 pictures, depending on how much you use the lcd-screen

nikon coolpix 950 and 990 - the shutter lag is a joke, you can only take pictures of landscapes

not needed

This is an honest review and I'm not a Kodak rep, because I'm just about to write Kodak 330 review and that camera has a lot more holes in it. But I tell you, this camera is good.

I use this camera for weddings, portrait and commercial work. I can go into a wedding with confidence. If they say no flash, no problem. Jam it to ISO 1250 and use available light.

Also used it for a commercial job. I took pictures at an aquarium for a client. Tried to take pictures of coral through glass. Experimented and experimented and couldn't get what I wanted. Then I finally experimented with the right combo. I needed to shoot it available light with TUNGSTEEN film. I changed the setting and got it.

Amazing skin tones and shadow detail. Regularly make 16x20 Canvas prints for bridal portraits with it. Definitely top of the line.

Would be perfect with slightly bigger file size. Not asking for much, but would like to be able to make a pristine 20x24. Right now, there's no way possible with this, but I can do real good 16x20's with it but have to be careful.
