Opinion: Good, solid entry level pro digital. At the current street price, a steal, as long as you already have Nikon AF lenses.

Opinion: A little disappointing. Image quality not as good as I expected. I have a Nikon E3 which has lower res., but higher image quality. The price was good, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Problems: No problems so far. Have only had the camera for a few days.

Opinion: There is no way the DCS315 can be compared with the other fourth generation Kodak digital camera. And at about $1500 or 1/4 the price of the DCS330 you shouldn't try.

Good points:
- can use all Nikon AF lenses (w/ 1.6 multiplier)
- histogram display very useful
- AA batteries mean you can get replacements easily or better yet use NiMH

Bad points:
- multiplier not good for wideangle photography, moved from 28-70 to 18-35 to mitigate
- image brackets on viewfinder don't match what CCD captures, about 8% off on bottom
- no matrix metering, guess Kodak decided against since CCD only images middle of screen
- flash photography needs manual adjustment since refectivity of flash different from film
- noise when capturing at 400 iso very bad in blue channel, much better images at 160 iso and below
- latest firmware is 1.6.4 (not 3.0.x) and thus cannot use Kodak's post production exposure adjustment

Problems: Try to use Kodak's file format plugin for Photoshop when getting images. Using the TWAIN Acquire module unleashes all sorts of noise reduction and edge filtering on your images
