Kodak EasyShare DX7590 Digital Camera

Excellent Product within its price range - Gives you value for money with quality

Strengths: Excellent value for money, Quality of pictures, Great lens and optical zoom, Not too costly, Night Photographs, Good battery life, Good video capability, around 20 photograph modes

Weaknesses: It cannot be kept in a pocket !! Sometimes when you are taking the video, the video recording stops !! But it does what it is supposed to do, that is to take pictures very very well.

Summary: Excellent value for money I have not seen better quality pictures with this price range in any of the other cameras. The lenses are made of glass which makes the photograph quality far better than any normal cameras. I have used other Kodak cameras as well, but this one has better quality.

Good Night photographs - I have taken photographs of Niagara falls in light, came out excellent with no problems in holding the camera steady during the night. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the performance of this camera. I think that the pictures are bright and natural with very sharp colors or edges. The prints are excellent too. The zoom functionality (from the quality of the lens) combined with the 5.1 mega pixels will ensure that you store some of your best memories in some of the best pictures. I like its price point and although it is slightly on the bulky side still I would advise others to give this camera a try.

Good all around camera!

Strengths: Kodak's easy to use firmware, software, interface, german lens (10X zoom), SLR 'feel' and design, 2.2" LCD screen, good grip, good color-sharpness on photos, comes with dock & rechargeable battery.

Weaknesses: Viewfinder a little grainy, noisy, lag time between shots, proprietary battery, no hot shoe, does not record MPEG-2 video at the current 30 fps like other models, no PictBridge.

Summary: 2006-01-23 21:06:58 With megapixels increasing at every new month, this 5 MP model has alot going for it...but what is it...an SLR by look or a point and shoot? Truly, it is a point and shoot with advance features and an SLR "look." The pictures the camera takes are great. It allows alot of functionality from full manual to fully automatic. The movies with sound has no limit on the time which is great however, it does not record with such resolution as models out there that can record at 30 fps which produce smoother video. There are attachments available for the fixed lens. The constuction while made of plastic still feels solid. The software that comes with the camera is really second to none with regards to ease of use and editing. For example, you can eliminate "red-eye" with a click of the option rather than circling the area and going through a string of commands. While I do like the true SLR cameras, it is a fraction of the price of one but tries to give the feel of one. If on a budget, it may be the right alternative. HOWEVER, I MUST MENTION THAT THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT CAMERA FOR THOSE LOW LIGHT SITUATIONS...IT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE LARGEST WEAKNESSES...NOT ONLY WILL IT BOUNCE IN AND OUT OF FOCUS, BUT THE PHOTOS WILL BE PRETTY MUCH USELESS EVEN WITH THE BUILT IN FLASH...

You have to try this!

Strengths: 10 opt lens / 5 megpxl / easy software / versatility

Weaknesses: Bulky / fixed lens

Summary: This camera is great for the beginner and intermediate although I think the advanced user would appreciate the click and shoot quality of this camera. Pictures are outstanding and with the 10x zoom I can get those distant shots without worries.

I am a beginner with digital camera's, this one was not hard to figure out. Put it on auto, make sure you have a charged battery and go, it's that simple right out of the box.

The more you play with it the more you can appreciate the other qualities the camera has along with it's software.

Kodak also thought about putting your photo's on the web so you can share them with family and friend's.

The only drawbacks are bulk, which I don't mind since the camera is not that big, and a fixed lens, I would like to see an inexpensive camera which you could change lens.

I bought mine for about $250.00 with dock, just bought a 1 gig sd card so picture taking and video's are no worries.

Have fun if you get this one!!!!!
