We have had this camera for one year and it worked great for the first few months, but even then the shutter would not open all the way and we would get part of the shutter in the pictures. We have had to replace the battery door which broke at about 4 months and now the camera will not charge in the docking station. In order to fix the problem Kodak says it will cost over $100. Regular AA batteries do not last long enough. I would recommend you purchase another brand.
This is a terrific camera 5 out of 5 stars.

I happened to see this while I was browsing for accessories. I can't believe it is still available. I bought mine back in, I think Spring '04. I'd had an older digital and it was time to upgrade. After much searching and reading, I settled on this camera. I have not been disappointed. Even though it is 4 megapixels and I have it set down to about 3.2, I get beautiful, clear, sharp pictures-still. The difference I have found is in the lens. The German made Schneider, Kreuznach lens (not sure of the sp here)makes a world of difference in the picture quality. I've looked at newer camera's (more megapixels) and of course noted the lens type, but to tell you the truth, this little 6440 gets such great quality I can't quite justify getting a new one.
Even on it's normal auto setting I am able to catch action shots of my granddaughter sliding and swinging, even water mid-air. I haven't even bothered with the action setting.
The only complaint I have, and it really doesn't qualify as one, is the telephoto shots are blurred- I get around that when editing in zooming and cropping, and when I take several shots in a row (not needing burst) the shutter speed slows down. A good choice still for a point and shooter and for great vacation pics.
2008--I still have this camera although I have looked at newer models with higher megapixels. I worked out the telephoto thing, I have to hold still, and then it usually turns out clear and sharp. In comparing it with the newer models this camera is still outstanding. Just on auto it takes crystal clear, sharp and detailed action shots. I recently went to a Pow Wow and caught beautiful action shots of the dancing, everyone commented on how professional they looked, like a postcard. And I'm no photographer. And the color it captures is wonderful. I friends and relatives who have picked up I think the Z1012, and mine is better. So other than he low pixels not making good enlargements, I'm not giving it up.
Editorial Review:
Snap a picture with the DX6440 and you'll be impressed by your photographic genius. Something else sure to impress is its professional-quality Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon lens. The DX6440 also features programmed scene modes for a quick, simple solution for common situations - so you get the shot you want, just the way you want it.
