I really like the DX3900... just wonderful especially good colors and night-time constellation pictures. For that, the 16 second manual exposure is just great. So, I'm stuck in a time warp, with a digicam from years ago and thought I should consider a newer model!
I've noticed, though, that most new Kodaks are very limited in their manual exposure times-- as little as 8 seconds, sometimes 4. I need at least 12, preferably 16-24 for constellation pictures.
Also, has Kodak ever put out an equivalent to Canon's Remote Capture, allowing one to remotely trigger the camera? That's great for bird pictures, especially as one can set the camera up close to the feeder and trigger the shutter from some distance away.
In any event, if I were to spend $200-300, what should I be looking at? Image stabilization would be cool/great, but don't know if Kodak has anything like that in its recent offerings.
