5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera for starters and above, January 3, 2004

By	j. woods "akaal11" (USA) - See all my reviews

I wanted to get a camera that was good enough to keep up with technology for the next couple of years. I then came upon this camera. It has 5 MP max resolution, but if you want to save space or you have a small card, it can be lowered all the way down to 1.2 megapixels. The camera comes with 32 MB internal memory, which is very nice, like if you are on a trip and you card gets full, you can easily switch to internal. I got this on Christmas, and it did not come with a memory card, and no stores were open. But i was still able to tqake 16 5MP pictures. The next day i went to target and got a 128 MB card for $60. (Not the best deal but i was anxious and had money to spend). This camera uses Sd/MMC cards (secure digital/multimedia card). the Kodak Dock is nice but it is not necessary, especially for its $80 price tag. Just but rechargeable batteries and charger for $20. I would reccomend the Kodak Easyshare starter pack along with this. It is $35, but it has bettery pack, charger, and a bag, and some other accesories.

This is as of 12/25/03 (This exact product)

Includes
USB Cable (Kodak Easyshare Dock is nice but it is not necessary)

Kodak DX4530 5MP Digital Camera

Video Cable ( for slideshows on TV)

Product manual ( i suggest you read this)

Kodak Easyshare software ( nice software, with a simple, but effective and fun editing program.)

5 sheets of trial photo paper.

Other ads and papers reguarding registration.

AS i conclude, i have one last thing for those interested in it's 10X zoom. optical zoom(3X) is the actual lens zooming in. digital zoom(3.3X) is just the camera enlarging the pixels. What is done with digital zoom is something that can be easily done on a photo editing software. So if you're paying over 5-10 dollars for just extra digital zoom, id not. The optical is what you really want.

Overall, i have been EXTREMELY pleased with camera, and i would recommend it for anyone. The movie mode is very nice, although you can't zoom while it is recording. But, what more could you ask for, hopefully you aren't buying this to make a movie. My only complaint is that the movie mode is slightly blocky, but is still fun to play with. This camera is very user friendly, and i would say it could be used easily by 10 years old and up. The manual is easy to comprehend and read. Kodak also has a good support staff, and my camera came in perfect shape. Thank you for your time, and i would strongley suggest this camera for anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Camera!, November 10, 2003

By	JDV "Can you play with the big dogs?" (Sunny So CA, United States) - See all my reviews

I got this camera a few months ago, and absolutely love it. The picture quality is outstanding, and it's extremely easy to use. I swore I'd never get a digital camera until I could get a 5.0 MP, and I'm really glad I waited!

I've had lots of people tell me the Kodak camera docking station isn't necessary, but let me tell you, it sure is convenient to use, one button, and the pictures download to the computer. The best part is it's always charged and ready to go, no dead batteries!

You won't go wrong with this camera no matter what your photo taking experience may be!

5.0 out of 5 stars One great digital camera, October 17, 2003

By	D. Couse "darkman1969" (United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I have had this camera about 2 weeks now and I can honestly say there is not a single thing I dislike about it. I took it on a trip to Estes Park, CO and the pictures came out fantastic. The detail is amazing and the color was spot on.

I've also had no problems with the indoor quality of my pictures and what I don't like I can easily correct with my photoshop program.

The unit is lightweight and fits nice in the palm of my hand. It has 5 seperate modes (auto, sport, night, scenery and macro) and it even takes Quicktime Video!

I specifically purchased this unit becuase of the Kodak name and the cameras ability to accept SD cards. I think that CF (compactflash) is on the way out and I already had a SD card for my PPC.

The camera hooked up to my WinXP machine without any trouble and I was transferring photos and video within minutes.

Where I think this camera really shines is the Kodak Easy Share software. It lets you unload your camera, create albums, modify the photo (very basic stuff though), and even order prints online! I've already taken advantage of the online ordering and the quality is fantastic. I highly recommend you have a broadband connection though, since the file size on "best" setting is rather large.

Dont be afraid to try this camera!
