The Kodak Easyshare C530 5MP DC & Dock are perfect!, July 13, 2006
This review is from: Kodak Easyshare C530 5 MP Digital Camera and Easyshare Series 3 Printer Dock Bundle (Electronics)
I bought this as a gift for my sister who is currently visiting me for the summer back in June, so we've had almost a month to test it out. She had seen the camera priced ranging from $119USD-$139USD, and the dock at $127USD, so getting this combo package for less than $180 was a fantastic!
The camera is extremely easy to use. Its simple features are perfect for anyone starting out in the world of digital cameras. Navigating through the menus does not even require you reading the manual; everything appears on the screen.
Since the camera does not come with an external memory card, you must get one ASAP, as you can only take about 15-20 pictures on the lowest setting possible using the camera's internal memory. We took pictures using 3.1MP and I must say, they turned out very well. So we then switched to 5MP setting and of course the pictures were sharper & larger; thus better. The view screen is a good size, and so is the digital zoom compared to my own digital camera. My sister has also recorded MPEGs of my cat. Once again, extremely easy to navigate, record, and playback.
The camera charges & prints from the Easyshare printer dock. The battery life is about 3 hours when fully charged, we've had no problems with the battery or the dock thus far. Everything you'll need ie. USB plugs, printer cartridge, cables, photo paper are all included in the package. Like I mentioned before, you'll need to get a memory card. We purchased a 512MB and on the 3.1MP setting, the camera says you should get over 500 pictures out of it.
This is an excellent purchase for anyone who is just starting out or who is not looking for anything complicated--just point & click.

I love my new digital Kodak EasyShare C530 5MP camera, August 16, 2006
This review is from: Kodak Easyshare C530 5 MP Digital Camera and Easyshare Series 3 Printer Dock Bundle (Electronics)
I ordered this camera as a gift for myself for my birthday. I took several pictures of friends when we went out to dinner. One of my friends was very impressed with the photos that I sent to him. He was amazed at the quality of the picture and the fact that it was taken with such a small camera. The ease of using the camera, the amazing prints and the overall quality of the product is very satisfying to me. My daughter has a camera that she paid a lot more for and, in my opinion, this camera takes as good a picture if not better. I love the fact that I can take pictures, print them out without going to a store and waiting several days to get them back, and I can download them very easily into my computer (the program is very user friendly) and I can email them with a simple click of a button to family and friends. I, for one, am very pleased and happy with my purchase. I would recommend this product highly to any and all family, friends, and anyone who asks.
