Style: CX7530 Digital Camera

Amazon.com Product Description

The Kodak EasyShare CX7530 camera is ideal for the digital photographer who wants great photos, one-touch picture taking simplicity, plus a degree of creative flexibility. It offers a 5-megapixel resolution for rich photographic detail and enlargements up to 20 x 30 inches, a 3x optical zoom lens, exclusive on-camera Share button and integrated digital photo album, 32 MB internal memory, and compatibility with Secure Digital and MMC memory cards.

Optics and Resolution The CX7530 has a maximum resolution of 5 megapixels, for 2560 x 1920 pixel prints. The CX7530 features a Kodak Retinar all-glass, aspherical 3x optical zoom lens, 5x advanced digital zoom, and multi-zone auto-focus system for crisp prints. It has a 35 mm equivalency of 34-102mm.

Movie Mode
The CX7530 can capture both full-motion video with audio (20 frames per second at 320 x 240 pixels) and TV-resolution video (VGA; 640 x 480 pixels at 13 fps) with capacity dependent on available memory (32 MB internal memory included; additional memory may be added via the SD/MMC expansion slot).

More Features
The CX7530 is always ready to snap a picture by simply depressing the shutter button, regardless of which capture mode or menu is active--a feature unique to EasyShare cameras. Automatic picture rotation makes pictures taken vertically appear right side up on the camera, computer screen or television. Nine picture modes including night, close-up, landscape, black and white and sepia are easily accessible, making it simple to shoot in various situations.

Other features include:

• Built in flash with auto, red-eye, fill, and off modes
• Print directly from your camera to any PictBridge compatible printer
• Fast scroll to edit, tag or delete pictures quickly

Storage and Transfer
Images can be stored within the CX7530's 32 MB internal memory, or on optional Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards. It connects to Macs and Windows-based PCs via USB 1.1 connectivity.

Sharing
With a touch of the red-jeweled Share button, you can store up to 200 pictures in an on-camera digital album. These pictures can then be shared anytime on the camera's large, 1.8-inch indoor/outdoor LCD screen. The Share button also allows selection of photos for printing and even e-mailing, with up to 32 e-mail addresses stored in the camera's memory.

Kodak Color Science Image Processing Chip
Kodak's Color Science Image Processing Chip offers a new high-speed digital image processor, advanced algorithms, and hardware acceleration features that enable the CX7530 make simultaneous, split-second decisions to produce rich, vibrant, true-to-life colors in almost any lighting situation. Each time you click the shutter, the Kodak Color Science Chip performs an instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and correct multiple factors that influence picture quality. Scene light source is detected and adjustments are made to capture bright whites and true, vivid colors under difficult lighting conditions--fluorescent, tungsten or daylight. Scene content is analyzed for luminance, focal distance, subject matter orientation and color to determine the correct exposure and capture the natural details, accurate flesh tones, and rich colors you see in your composition.

Power and Size
The camera is powered by 2 AA batteries (alkaline included; NiMH rechargeables recommended). It measures 4.0 x 2.6 x 1.5 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 6.8 ounces without batteries.

What's in the Box
This package contains the Kodak EasyShare CX7530 digital camera, 2 AA alkaline batteries, USB cable, wrist strap, and custom camera insert for optional EasyShare Camera and Printer Docks.

Like all EasyShare cameras, the CX7530 includes Kodak EasyShare software for Windows and Macintosh systems, providing effortless digital picture transfer, organization, basic editing, sharing and printing. The software's exclusive One Touch to Better Pictures feature--which takes advantage of proprietary color technologies developed by Kodak--helps Windows OS users get vibrant, true-to-life prints from home inkjet printers, while significantly reducing the trial, error and waste usually associated with home photo printing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing - Outstanding - Incredible camera!, September 17, 2004

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare CX7530 5 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Electronics)

I've used several digital cameras and found that the Kodak CX7530 performs beyond expectations for a point-and-shoot camera. This camera excels in rendering images with incredible sharpness, excellent exposure, and well balanced color saturation. Dare I say this camera performs as well as the Digital Rebel!

I found it rare to get an image out of focus with this camera. The 5 MP gives me room to crop images without loosing detail. I was able to figure out all major functions without even opening the manual. The fast turn-on time, shutter to shot, and shot to shot performance took me by surprize...capture the moment and review it immediately! There is some metal on the camera that adds ruggedness and gives it a "well built" feel. The large bright LCD helps review image quality quickly as well as help compose without squinting.

If you want an excellent point and shoot that gives you fast, sharp, reliable results, then the cx7530 is the perfect choice.

Check out my "customer images" (link below the cx7530 image, above).

Pros:
1. multi-point focus always renders sharp foreground images; i found few images out of focus.
2. shadows and dark areas are not grainy or noisy; this is helpful when you're cropping pics and enlarging them.
3. very smooth transitions in bright area and never washed out; this helps you with contrast especially if you convert to black and white later
4. very fast; press the shutter button and you don't miss the moment!
5. very quick; shot to shot
6. fast turn on; rotate the dial and it's almost ready before you are!
7. huge LCD that's sharp, bright, and fast to update while panning
8. battery miser; with NiH rechargeables, i was able to get 85 shots where 25 used the flash
9. images get auto-rotated when taking a portrait
10. very quiet; no focus or zoom noise
11. LCD goes blank after a while of no use to conserve power
12. 2 movie modes; QVGA (320x240 @ 20fps) and VGA (640x480 @ 13fps);

Cons:
1. does not remember setting if you change them after you turn off the camera; but i've rarely had to tweek something to get a great image
2. 4 way navigation button is on the left and i'm a righty; so this is good for the lefty's; not really an issue, though!
3. can not disable digital zoom; but zoom indicator clearly shows the crossover point between optical to digital zoom

5.0 out of 5 stars KODAK DOES IT AGAIN, December 30, 2004

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare CX7530 5 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Electronics)

I've stuck with kodak through all my digital camera purchases and this is my third one. The ease of use and fun of Kodak is surpassed by no one and it's a great bargain to boot. The CX7530 has a maximum resolution of 5 megapixels, for 2560 x 1920 pixel prints. 3X optical zoom and 5X digital zoom bring the action close up and personal. The movie mode allows you to take videos at a speedy 24 frames per second. Automatic picture rotation makes pictures taken vertically appear right side up on the camera, computer screen or television. There are Nine picture modes including night, close-up, landscape, black and white and sepia. And of course there's red-eye reduction. Quickly use the one-touch easy share button to download, print, or e-mail your pictures.

how's the Quality? how about fabulous...bright, vibrant colors, focused so that droplets of water hang perfectly focused in mid-air. makes me feel like I am a professional photographer. The camera features a good-sized and clear LCD screen with automatic shutoff. I'd rate the CX7530 better than average when it comes to batter consumption.

A great camera!

I am very happy to say that I bought this camera over two months ago. I was not going to get into digital photography because I have a minolta qtsi 35mm camera that I just love. I take any where from 100-400 pictures a month, not only of my daughter, every event, but also semi professional. I have a camera on me at all times (in search of the perfect picture) Not only have I actually put down my slr camera I have put down all its attachments as well. I have been using this camera alone and I love it. It takes crisp pictures, and is very detailed. I actually had a 8x10 show water dropplets that you would have never picked up on my Minolta. I even bought the easy share printer dock (its a must) to print pictures at home. This is great for quick prints. I even found it to print better than snap fish, and walmart photo centers. You will not be let down with this camera! Just shoot,print and enjoy!
