One of Kodak's best models ever!.......2007-11-07
I live in a small town and am kind of the resident camera expert and have bought digital cameras online for about 25 people. I have owned this model of Kodak camera (twice, in fact - have now upgraded to a DSLR) and have bought it for about 5 of my friends. It is a great camera. It takes very sharp, clear outdoor photos with excruciating detail. It does a better job than most, indoors with a flash. Very vibrant colors. It's quite fast and has good flash range and recharge time. It has 10x optical zoom which isn't stabilized, but I never had any problems with blurring, even at maximum zoom range (granted, I am quite good at holding a camera steady).
Kodak has one of the easiest to use menus in the business and this one is no exception. I am also a fan of the joystick design which makes navigating a "joy". This camera is practically indestructible. It seems to be faster and takes better photos than the newer models that Kodak has put out lately (z712, a612). I even liked this model better than the P850 which is supposed to be their professional model, but it is much heavier and doesn't have anything on the dx7590 in the performance department. I keep recommending this one to people over and over again. I only held back one star because of the grainy lcd (the photos are never grainy - just the screen) and very slight amounts of softness in some images - which is very typical of Kodak. Overall, it's one of the best cameras I've owned - and I've tried almost every brand and model out there.
It's interesting to me how a camera company can get some models right and others are not so good. This one was a winner.
OK Camera, Horrible Battery.......2007-07-11
The camera takes very good pictures, but the overall size makes it cumbersome to carry around. In the two years I've owned it, I brought it with me less than I would've for a smaller camera with worse optics. On hikes it is pretty much impossible to bring along because it's too big to fit in some day packs.
And after only having this camera for two years and using it sparingly, it will not work now because the camera electronics will not fully charge the battery. Purchased replacement batteries, which are specific to this camera, but these will not fully charge either. For the price of the camera quality control should be significantly higher, buy a Canon, or something that will let you use standard sized (AA, etc.) batteries at least, instead.
Very Pleased.......2006-11-20
There are a couple of "minor" quirks of this camera but let me say first that it's one of the best 5mp "near-SLR" DCs on the market.
First quirk: In video mode, the zoom is disabled. Being able to zoom in and out in movie mode is basic and I'm not sure why this camera doesn't support it. But, it's a DC not a camcorder.
Second quirk: If you buy the 58mm adapter so that you can put a protective filter over the lens, the built in flash gets cut off by the collar and the pictures are dark in the lower half. If this is a problem, keep the stock lens cap on and be a little more careful with the lens. Flash can be solved with a "head 'n handle" flash unit (from $10 on ebay). External flash connection was a BIG selling point for me.
This camera has become my light meter for my film SLRs. Instead of taking readings, I use the bracketing function +,- EV to find the best looking shot on the large, bright viewfinder/screen. Click on "Info" and see exactly what fstop and shutter will expose that old-fashioned and expensive 35mm film perfectly!
Great Pictures, but can't get them off the camera.......2006-09-06
I love the pictures this thing takes. Some of them look like they were taken by professionals for national geographic. But they were just pictures of my cat.
But I have a HUGE problem with the PC interface. You have to use Kodak's software to transfer to a PC. With my olympus, I just hooked in the USB cable, went to My Computer, found the camera, then dragged and dropped the photos where I wanted them. No large programs to load, no creating albums, no setting default options, etc. Just drag and drop using the windows explorer interface. The so called "easy"share software won't allow that.
So I find myself using my old olympus, because after all, I'm just taking pictures of my cat.
A Note For An Amateur Photographer.......2006-04-21
Let me begin by saying, I'm not a professional. I take photos for fun and to record events in my life. However, with this camera, I have been able to take some amazing photographs that I'm truly proud to show to friends.
The zoom is phenomenal and was the reason that I upgraded from my previous camera that had only a 10x zoom. This zoom has allowed me to take great photos from spectator stands and at shows that would have looked ridiculous with a camera with a smaller zoom capacity.
My favorite feature is the close-up feature which has allowed me take some stunning photos of my flowers and of birds roosting on my feeders. I've consistantly found my photos to have vivid coloring and crisp details which is something my other cameras lacked.
For the amateur that wants to take fantastic photos that makes your friends say, "Wow!" this is a great camera. The only issue I've had with the camera is taking photos of heavily lit situations at night such as Christmas light displays, etc. No matter what setting I used, the photos still came out a bit unfocused.
However, everything else is superb. A fantastic buy.
