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:

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.

1 out of 5 stars Not Great.......2007-05-19

A few years ago this camera was great. Now it is horrible. As with many older digital cameras shots in direct sunlight cannot be taken without significant washout of colors. Hence, this isn't a good camera for your trip to disney land.
Secondly, I discovered that this camera cannot take shots in less than bright shade, unfortunately I discovered this on a trip to Europe. Basically, it is impossible to take pictures in the Louvre or any other great site because the light levels are too low. Kodak didn't even design the camera to have manual picture taking, hence the camera cannot be "forced" to take pictures.
Lastly, after about 3 years of limited use, the camera went kaputs. I haven't contacted kodak about it yet but since a new one is only worth $79 I'm betting it would be more worth my while to buy a new camera.

4 out of 5 stars Good camera.......2007-05-08

After more than a couple of years of use and a few drops and dings this camera still works and produces good quality pictures.
I had to replace the rechargeable NiCad battery pack a few months ago. I was expecting a little more mileage out of the batteries since I am very good are keeping the camera in the dock for recharging.
Camera is easy to use and with enough memory you can capture several short video clips. That feature is also easy to figure out. I have 512 MB of memory which allowed me at last count to store nearly 400 pictures and 2 video clips about 30 seconds long.
I wish I could say my next camera would be another Kodak, were is not for the fact I had a very dissapointing experience with the Printer Dock hardware and software.
On the plus side, this camera is detected properly on SuSE Linux Desktop 10 and works well with F-Spot and digiKam when connected through USB port.
Overall it is a good buy and you will not be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars Great Camera.......2007-04-02

I love this camera! It is so easy to use and easy to learn the features of it.

5 out of 5 stars It's hard to beat!.......2007-02-04

I've had this camera for 2 years now. My wife dropped it and cracked the LCD, though it still works. But I thought maybe it might be time to buy a new camera so I started looking.

You know what? I can't find a new point & shoot camera that produces images that is convincingly better with such ease of use. Bummer! After 2 years, other than just an increase in MP, overall image quality has not gotten any better! We went to Japan and my wife bought a Ricoh R4 for nearly $450 and after comparing photos, my 7530 was still better.

After doing more research and comparing photos of the new Canons (SD600, 700, 800), Casios and other Kodaks, there aren't any new compact models that is convincing me. I don't want a Sony or Fuji due to their proprietary memory cards, and the Nikon compacts are not rated very well.

For now, I've decided to keep my 7530 with the cracked LCD and all because in the end, image quality beats all those bells and whistles.

4 out of 5 stars Works great for my purposes...field camera for indoor & out.......2007-01-12

I ran down this item description because I wanted to compare this 7530 to the newer 7MP-10MP super-compacts out there for size. Noticed the ratings, and had to jump in for a few words.

I bought this about 1 1/2 yrs ago to take pics for work, both indoors and out. Used about 5-10 times / month, 20-200 pics per mo. The pics I've gotten with its "pipsqueak" 5MP have produced the best photos so far from among my co-workers cameras, some as high as 8MP (and they all agree, unanimously). Very bright pics outdoors, good indoors as long as you are within flash range (perhaps 10'-12' max where its real dark).

Granted it is moderately "bulky" compared to the newer super-compacts and is a bit of a squeeze fitted into your typical shirt pocket, but at the current price ($150 or so I see, as of 1/12/07) its a "fair" price and ideal for someone who wants a quality semi-bargain snap and shoot that is relatively easy to learn, even now. Just know that I've only used it for 4x6's (with an HP 375 battery-powered mini-printer in the field) and a few 8x10's.

It is a tad slow to power up, and getting the red "not ready" (mostly because of flash settings I've messed with) light to stop takes a moment of patience. This is all that is even slightly negative that I can say about it. The controls aren't cumbersome, the menus are good (not great, but good for what it does), the battery lasts a long time (and ,nicely, will take AA's in a pinch, its most endearing feature for me at work where I may not have a charger, although I may only get another 20-30 pics with flash from standard AA's), and since its pictbridge compatible I just plug it into the printer or computer and go, everytime.

It has done all I've asked of it, and have certainly got my money's worth (I recall I paid about $200-225 or so). If you aren't going to go and spend $225 & up within the next year for another camera (say a Canon SD600 or 630 or comparable, at that price range, both of which are smaller and take good pics), this is all you'll need.
