Kodak have announced the 4 megapixel EasyShare DX6490 digital camera, featuring a 10x optical zoom lens (38-380mm focal length) with a f/2.8 - f/3.7 maximum aperture.

“Eastman Kodak Company today unveiled its most advanced EasyShare digital camera to date, the Kodak EasyShare DX6490 zoom digital camera. With its unique combination of sophisticated features, exceptional performance, and ?399.99 suggested retail price, it establishes a new price-to-performance benchmark for ?advanced amateur? photography, giving more people the opportunity to shoot like a professional.

The 38-380mm focal length of the Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 10X zoom lens gives photographers superb framing flexibility. It enables users to get close to the action and fill the frame, or achieve more natural poses from subjects by shooting them from a distance. The long lens also provides the “flattened” perspective and narrow depth of field that portrait photographers crave, all in a compact, SLR-like body. With a f/2.8 maximum aperture at wide angle and a f/3.7 at 10X - and the ability to step down to f/8 - the camera is well-suited to perform in both low and bright light.”

The Kodak EasyShare DX6490 has a suggested retail price of ?399.99.
