Kodak DC265 Zoom (1999)
The bulky Kodak DC265 hit the streets with an astonishing $999 price tag (street price $775). For this price one would get not only a bulky camera but also a sophisticated piece of equipment built for prosumers. It was the follow-up of the popular DC260 and provided the following new features:
- Improved burst capture for 7 full size images (vs. 2 in the DC260)
- Faster image processing and start-up time
- 16 MB Picture Card (vs. 8 in the DC260)
- New, higher quality "super" image compression setting for 4 total choices
- Includes 4 AA Ni-MH Batteries and Charger (vs. AC Adapter in the DC260)
- MACINTOSH compatibility in the box, with cable and plug-in software

The DC265 also supported GPS tagging by hooking the camera up to a GPS device (also a feature of the DC260).
Trivia:
In 2012 I stumbled into a photo studio to have my mug shot taken and was totally surprised (or scared) to see a Kodak DC265 sitting there and still being used! Of course I left immediately.
