Kodak
has today announced the 10x optical zoom, 4 megapixel DX6490. This camera
is Kodak's first foray into the big zoom SLR-like prosumer category, priced
at $499 it's certainly competitive. The 'Schneider-Kreuznach' lens provides
an equivelant focal length range of 38 to 380 mm with a maximum aperture
of F2.8 to F3.7, interestingly it also has a dual speed zoom mechanism
which should be useful for quickly zooming and then applying subtle adjustment.
