Hello! I don't have my DCS410 anymore, I've moved on to a D1... I have fond memories of it, though. Despite working as crude as it looked, it recorded countless memories and a lot of otherwise useful material...

So, to honor the camera on our parting, I wanted to share some of the photos I took with it.

I'd like to hear opinions from people who used this model, or the NC2000E, or the DCS420... What their shots were like and so on... I'd like to bring up some memories :)

Since I shouldn't be posting too many photos, here's the gallery:

It's just the one in the lower right corner that's not a DCS shot... everything else is.

Any comments? Pretty please? :)
 
Some very nice shots, and the colours look great as they always do with Kodak, but the resolution is just a little too low to be very useful for anything except web work.

I have a Kodak DCS 760, which is 6.4 mp so its fine for most uses and the build quality is superb. Image quakity is excellent, with huge dynamic range. Pity they got out of the dslr business.

True... must have been to those rather negative comparisons between the 14n or SLR/n and the EOS 1D-something (lost track of their ridiculously long names, sorry). Even Phil Askey's review showed noise, watercolor effects, lots of aliasing and moire, poor shadow detail... one would get an impression that no matter where you look, there are issues.

It's a pity, though... I absolutely love every DCS model from 520 all the way to 760. I also like the 410/420/460 series... True, resolution was low, and having to manually adjust curves for EACH channel separately (no Hot Mirror filter...), filter out blue noise and so on would make me MAD. Especially when I had to go through the 1000+ shots I brought from last summer holiday... the horror...

But I did appreciate the ability to load film in it when you run out of battery power or disk space - which I did twice over last summer. It was also pleasant to see nice, modern-looking shots after all that processing :)

I had to sell it, regretfully... I really miss that one, the mosy out of all the cameras I had so far. It would have made a neat backup body for my D1, capable of both film and digital output... I can't afford to have everything I would like, though :(
