Amazon.com Product Description The Kodak EasyShare V530 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom raises the bar for family-friendly digital photography. As powerful as it is petite, you'll not only turn heads while you're taking pictures or shooting video with this baby. You'll also gain the enthusiastic accolades of your friends and family when you start sharing the shots you've taken. Whether it's a TV-quality video of your child's first step, or a 20-inch by 30-inch family photo you have printed for framing, the EasyShare V530 is designed to deliver.

The included Photo Frame 2 Dock enables stylish display of your photos and easy transfer to your computer.

And this camera proves that looks can truly be deceiving. At about the size of a man's wallet, with a stylish black casing, the EasyShare V530 is loaded with features that were formerly reserved for cameras twice as large and much more expensive. Included among the many features are:

• 5.0-megapixel resolution for 20 x 30 inch prints of amazing clarity
• 36-108mm f2.8-4.8 lens (35mm film camera equivalent) with 3x optical zoom for close-up shots
• Up to 80 minutes of continuous MPEG-4 video with audio capture and playback
• Two-inch high-resolution color display with 170 degree viewing angle
• Quicktime video format and one-button EasyShare system for quick, universal sharing of videos and photos
• Photo Frame Dock 2 for stylish display of your photos and easy transfer to your computer

With a resolution of up to 5.0-megapixels, you won't have to worry about grainy, pixelated images when it's time to print. Sporting a 3x Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon Optical Zoom lens, the EasyShare V530 is built to produce professional-quality prints with remarkable clarity, precision, and sharpness from edge to edge. You no longer have to sacrifice quality for the convenience that digital photography delivers. Kodak's proprietary "Color Science Chip" ensures that the colors and flesh tones that you capture are accurate, clear and precise. Digital red-eye reduction, cropping, and blurry picture alert features and more will keep your subjects looking great shot after shot.

And when it's time to make a movie, the EasyShare V530 will be waiting to deliver outstanding video that you can simply plug straight into your TV for instant viewing. With up to 640 x 480 pixels of resolution, and a zoom-in feature and digital stabilization that will keep your frames from shaking, you'll have the confidence you need to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Kodak's EasyShare software, a simple way to edit, organize, print and view a slide show of your photos on your computer, is included. Also included is the Kodak EasyShare Photo Frame Dock 2, a unique way to display your photos and easily transfer your photos to your computer while recharging your battery at the same time.

In short, the Kodak EasyShare V530 gives you everything you need right out of the box to start capturing your own Kodak moments with professional-quality photos and videos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressed--it's a Kodak??, March 18, 2006

I have several digicams, including an expensive Nikon. I was going to get the Canon SD30, but the reviews on the V530 were better. I was initially rluctant, since Kodak has not been a major force in the digital field.

I read all reviews from 20 sites (OK..a bit obsessive), took sample shots in stores,and took a chance on this camers (I figured that I would pay a restock if needed). Well, I am overwhelmed. There is NO red eye issue (my biggest fear). The pics are sharp, focused, and the colors are accurate. There is no lag, and the pocket size is perfect. My only complaint is that there are TOO many pre-selected modes to choose from. I have spent hours experimenting. I wish that there were fewer choices....The battery life issues are moot to me, since I ALWAYS buy an extra battery for every digicam--it's a no-brainer. I rate battery life as average for this camera.

Overall, I am impressed. No regrets.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ehhh, could be better..., June 29, 2006

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare V530 5 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Red) (Electronics)

I bought this camera as a replacement for my Casio Exilim Ex-Z40. The price was right, all the reviews seemed decent, but I am not nearly as satisfied with this camera as I was with my Casio. I have experimented a lot with this camera and I can never get true-to-life colors with it. People always seem really washed out, and the night picture settings only work if you have a tripod. The pictures are often slightly blurry, plus the battery doesn't last long enough for me. The screen isn't that big, and there are way too many buttons for people other than me to figure out. The only thing I do like about this camera is how good the red-eye setting is. Either way, my next camera will definitely be another Casio, or a Sony.
