Amazon.com Product Description

Created for the savvy photographer, the Kodak EasyShare DX7440 combines high-performance photographic controls and optics with easy-to-use features for stunning picture quality. It offers a 4 megapixel resolution and a professional quality Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 4x optical zoom lens, as well as a rapid 0.2-second click-to-capture rating, large 2.2-inch indoor/outdoor LCD screen, 32 MB internal memory, and compatibility with both Secure Digital and MMC memory cards.

Optics and Resolution The DX7440 has a 4-megapixel resolution for 2304 x 1728 images and photo enlargements up to 20 x 30 inches. Other resolution modes include 2304 x 1536 (3:2 aspect ratio), 2048 x 1536 (3MP), 1656 x 1242 (2MP), and 1200 x 900 (1MP). The Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 4x optical zoom lens is also supplemented by a 4x digital zoom, for a 16x total. Working with renowned German professional optics designer Schneider-Kreuznach, Kodak equipped the camera with an f/2.8 - 9.5 aspheric lens to provide striking edge-to-edge brightness and sharpness across the frame.

Movie Mode
The DX7440 can capture both full-motion video (24 frames per second at 320 x 240 pixels) and TV-resolution video (VGA; 640 x 480 pixels at 13 fps) with capacity dependent on available memory (32 MB internal memory included; additional memory may be added via the SD/MMC expansion slot).

More Features
The DX7440's precision low-light auto-focus system combines rapid phase detection with highly accurate through the lens (TTL) contrast detection to sharply define a subject, even in almost complete darkness. Continuous auto-focus also delivers rapid click-to-capture (0.2 seconds) to precisely freeze action at a desired moment. Selectable focus zones and exposure metering allow exacting control over each scene, while standard and fine JPEG compression settings give users more power over their file sizes and quality.

The DX7440 offers fully automatic mode for effortless point-and-shoot picture taking, as well as 16 automatic scene modes (e.g., sport, portrait, night, landscape, beach, snow, and macro) that help obtain the best shot in a variety of settings. In addition, manual control mode permits independent aperture settings, shutter speed (1/1000 to 64 seconds), exposure compensation and bracketing, and ISO equivalents for advanced photographers.

Storage and Transfer
Images can be stored within the DX7440's 32 MB internal memory, or on optional Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards. It connects to Macs and Windows-based PCs via USB 1.1 connectivity.

Sharing
With a touch of the red-jeweled Share button, you can store up to 200 pictures in an on-camera digital album. These pictures can then be shared anytime on the camera's large, 2.2-inch, high-resolution (153,000 pixels) indoor/outdoor LCD screen. The Share button also allows selection of photos for printing and even e-mailing, with up to 32 e-mail addresses stored in the camera's memory.

Kodak Color Science Image Processing Chip
Kodak's Color Science Image Processing Chip offers a new high-speed digital image processor, advanced algorithms, and hardware acceleration features that enable the DX7440 make simultaneous, split-second decisions to produce rich, vibrant, true-to-life colors in almost any lighting situation. Each time you click the shutter, the Kodak Color Science Chip performs an instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and correct multiple factors that influence picture quality. Scene light source is detected and adjustments are made to capture bright whites and true, vivid colors under difficult lighting conditions--fluorescent, tungsten or daylight. Scene content is analyzed for luminance, focal distance, subject matter orientation and color to determine the correct exposure and capture the natural details, accurate flesh tones, and rich colors you see in your composition.

Power and Size
The camera is powered by a proprietary rechargeable lithium-ion battery (1050 mAh), which can be charged via the included battery charger or an optional EasyShare Camera Dock. It measures 4 x 2.7 x 1.6 inches and weighs 7.9 ounces without the battery.

What's in the Box
This package contains the Kodak EasyShare DX7440 digital camera, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, battery charger, USB and A/V cables, wrist strap, and custom camera insert for optional EasyShare Camera and Printer Docks.

Like all EasyShare cameras, the DX7440 includes Kodak EasyShare software for Windows and Macintosh systems, providing effortless digital picture transfer, organization, basic editing, sharing and printing. The software's exclusive One Touch to Better Pictures feature--which takes advantage of proprietary color technologies developed by Kodak--helps Windows OS users get vibrant, true-to-life prints from home inkjet printers, while significantly reducing the trial, error and waste usually associated with home photo printing.

5 out of 5 stars I love this camera.......2007-01-04

I am not a camera guru and I HATE to read directions and try to remember ambiguous symbols on cameras that are crucial to set before taking a picture. That's why I love this camera. The purpose for any button you push appears in text on the screen. My pictures also come out great! The software is easy to use. I guess the only flaw I've found is that the digital zoom is a worthless feature. It is too blurry to use.

5 out of 5 stars 1.5 years later- still love it as much as day one!.......2006-11-26

When I was camera shopping, I did not have Kodak in mind. I was thinking of the bigger players like Sony, Cannon, Nikon, ect but I love this camera!

1- It takes great pictures. A lot of cameras these days are 6 or 7 MP and a 4 MP camera sounds ancient. However, a 4 MP is way good and I actually put my settings to 3.1 MP. I developed it at the store at it look just as good as a 35 mm camera! Also, I can store a lot more pictures at 3.1 MP and am VERY satisfied with the image quality.

2- It's FAST. Takes the picture when you click the button! You do have to wait a few seconds to take another picture (there is a processing time) but I find this much more bearable than the initial lag that some cameras have.

3- It's very user friendly but offers other options for more advanced picture taking. You don't even have to read the manual to use the more advanced options- it's great.

One of the disadvantage is size. I was well aware of this when I bought the camera but I wanted something nice in my hand that I can hold. I now wish I would have gone with a thinner camera so it will fit in my pocket. I am younger (21) and when you're going out to clubs, you're usually not bringing a huge purse so the camera seems kind of bulky. However, I do like the feel of this camera much more than little ones. If I was middle-aged, I'd much rather have this one than the tiny ones. I have no problems with the size other than when I'm going out.

I did tons of research when I bought this camera and have 0 regrets. However, I will make other noteworthy concerns by other reviewers that I took into consideration when purchasing this camera.
1- the wheel is small and you need to push this little button simultaneously while turning. If you have large hands, it might be a problem. I am a small girl, so it works fine for me (not my father). Also, sometimes the wheel can be hard to move if you haven't used it in a long time. It's a delicate wheel, don't force it or it will break.
2- be careful when replacing the batteries. Many people have reported breaking the orange tab meant to put the battery in place when they replaced the battery. As long as you're careful and take your time, it works fine.

2 out of 5 stars Good pictures, camera quality not so good.......2006-11-10

The Camera does take good pictures, and fast not like the cameras where you click and the subject is gone by the time the picture is taken (people with kids know what i am talking about) The bad things, if you take a picture from to far away ( more than 6 feet) and zoom in you get a grainy photo. Also, I would only recommend this to point and click people that arent interested in the best photos. Within a month the little thing that holds the battery in broke off and after about 8 months the dial is almost impossible to turn, seriously leaves welts embedded in your thumbs even if you succed in turning it on. IT would cost more to repair it then actually buy a new camera. I would never buy another one again. If your looking for a camera to last a long time this probably isnt it.

5 out of 5 stars I love this camera! .......2006-11-02

My husband and I bought this camera almost a year ago, and after taking (literally) over two thousand pictures, it still works perfectly. I'll never understand everything it does, so I leave all the buttons on the top alone, but it still takes great pictures. The only cons are: when taking photos indoors (I noticed this while taking pics at my nieces basketball game) they will be dark if taken from a distance. I'm sure there is a setting I could change it to to fix this, but I haven't found it. Also, whenever you take the battery out you have to reset the time and date. That gets annoying after a while. Other than that it's a wonderful camera and is doing a great job of capturing my newborn!

1 out of 5 stars Horrible camera and horrible support center.......2006-09-04

The camera broke befre I even used it,kodak wont fixt it unless I give them $400 that is more than I got the camera for,they are crazy

                  4 out of 5 stars Great product for home and small businesses.......2007-01-20

                  I have used 3 of these systems at some of my small business customers. This provides a cheap yet reliable source of archiving important materials. It does involve some interaction to establish a good disaster recover plan, but for a small business or individual on a limited budget, it DOES provide a cheap and relatively easy way to establish this. One unit (used for 2 years) went bad and was replaced by a newer version. The software had to be updated adn reconfigured, but it's been going well ever since. Now the failure was not a hardware issue as the unit was dropped several times and was handled a bit rough. All 3 customers love it and continue to use it (one's been using it for 4 years)!

                  2 out of 5 stars do not expect miracles.......2005-09-26

                  See my review under the title cms 80gbabsplus - same comments apply.

                  4 out of 5 stars Nice system, but not whisper quiet........2004-07-02

                  This is a nice system for automated backup of your computer drive. It maintains a complete image copy of your computer's drive so in the case of a disk crash you can copy everything back in one step, with no need to reinstall the operating system or individual applications. You also have the option of removing the backup disk drive from its case and installing it directly into your PC for a replacement. You then would buy a new disk drive to put back in the ABS unit.

                  I was also interested in the Seagate External Hard Drive. Some comparisons:

                  --The Seagate comes with a stripped-down version of the CMS backup software. With the ABSPlus you get the full version, a $50 value. It gives you versioning, synchronization, automatic disk formatting to match your computer drive, etc. I didn't need all those features but I figured that with the Seagate version there would be at least one or two missing features I would regret not having.

                  --The ABSPlus has a power on/off switch like the Seagate. The unit can be mounted vertically, but it does not have a stand for added security like the Seagate.

                  --I have heard that the Seagate is so quiet you almost can't hear it. The ABSPlus is not that quiet - you hear a moderate fan-like sound when it's turned on. If I were to keep the unit on all the time I wouldn't like having the added noise in the room. In my case, though, I only turn the unit on when I am running a backup. The backup software has a feature that will prompt you on a schedule to back up your drive. So I turn the unit on when I get the prompt, run the backup, then turn the drive off until the next scheduled backup.

                  --The ABSPlus does not have a button to run the backup like the Seagate, but again, I rely on the backup software to be prompted and to run the backup so I don't find the unit button necessary at all.

                  --The Seagate supports both USB and Firewire in the same unit. It also might be a slightly better value on a per-gigabyte basis.

                  Bottom-line: Both units can be used for backup and/or additional storage. Seagate seems to emphasize its use for storage, the ABSPlus emphasizes its use for backup and provides the more robust backup software version.

                  5 out of 5 stars 120 GB Auto Backup System Review.......2004-03-11

                  I am a computer user with intermediate skills. I started to load the program and I received a message stating that the disc wasn't registerred, and asked for the registration number. I went to the CMS/ABS plus site and checked for problems. I found my problem listed. I called technical support and was given a registration number to insert. I entered the registration number and the proram/systen began installation. (I have Windows 2000 operating system on my computer.) It worked just as stated in the Quick Start Guide. You will need to print the guide and read it to fully understand the operation.

                      Product Description

                      Minolta is pleased to announce the introduction of the Dimage Scan Multi II; the enhanced edition of its high-end Dimage Scan Multi film scanner. The Dimage Scan Multi II provides new, highly functional driver software while inheriting the predecessor's superb qualities such as high-resolution scans, precision autofocus, and multiple-format capability. The Dimage Scan Multi II is an ideal scanner for professional uses in photographic, design, printing, medical, educational, and R&D institutes as well as for hobby photographers. The Dimage Scan Multi II's new driver software provides Applied Science Fiction's Digital ROC and GEM technologies, which give time-saving and effective solutions for correcting faded colors and reducing graininess. Combining these sophisticated features with Minolta's Multi Sample Scanning and Color Matching system further enhances the excellence of the high-quality images. The new user-friendly GUI and a large number of functions significantly facilitate advanced image corrections. Highly automated features such as the Navigation function simplify the scanning procedure. In addition, the Dimage Scan Multi II produces fine images with the maximum 2, 820 dpi for medium format and other films by using software interpolation and increasing the horizontal scanning pitch. All these high-performance features are available to the current users of the Dimage Scan Multi simply by upgrading to the new driver software.

                      Amazon.com Product Description

                      Combining impressive hardware technology with versatile software applications, the Minolta Dimâge Scan Multi II film scanner is indispensable for both imaging professionals and avid amateurs. Its software driver offers nearly 600 automatic settings in nine categories with additional customization easily possible. Working with a variety of Macintosh operating systems, it functions equally well on Windows 98, 98, and NT 4.0, connecting through a simple USB port.

                      Standard usage permits up to six sleeved or four mounted slides. Optional accessories include the AD-100 adapter and the SC-100 slide feeder, both of which improve productivity by allowing you to scan up to 50 images in one batch. An additional timesaver is Multi Sample Scanning, which quickly reduces the random noise present with scanned images. Using RGB sensors that scan images line by line, the finished images have a maximum resolution up to 2,820 dpi, ensuring finely grained results in print sizes up to 8 by 10 inches. Taking the extra time to use features like Digital ROC (Reconstruction of Color) and GEM (Grain Equalization Management) virtually guarantees perfect clarity in all your photos.

                      With all these advanced functions, the scanner remains relatively easy to use with a simple window- and tab-based interface that allows you to control everything from color balance to histogram compensation. --Jill Lightner
