Improvements over the DCS 660 that caught my attention

  • Increased ISO range of 80-400 compared to Kodak's previous generation 6 megapixel DCS 660 which had a range of 80-200. This means improved image quality at commonly used ISO 200 because any time you're at the upper end of a camera's ISO range, the image quality degrades. The addition of ISO 400 means that you'll be able to handhold the camera in most low light shooting situations because of the increased shutter speeds.
  • Increased burst rate and huge 128 MB buffer that will hold up to 24 sequential images. This will make a HUGE difference while shooting in the field or in the studio.
  • Video out: NTSC or PAL... Sharing pictures on a TV is fun!
  • Improved LCD screen.
  • The new "DCS 760" badge that takes the place of the old white balance port on the front of the camera body. Kodak hasn't used the old white balance port for a long time (white balance is now done through the lens), and its continued nonfunctional presence on the DCS 520/620/620x/560/660 bodies was a nonfunctional distraction.
  • Standard IR Reduction filter instead of a Lithium Niobate Anti-Aliasing filter. (Produces sharper images.)
