Summary: GREAT CAMERA!!!
Review: I am an amature at picture taking but I am a new mommy and I wanted a digital camera for shooting and e-mailing pics. I have not been disappointed with this camera it is very user friendly and takes AWSOME pictures EVEN IN LOW LIGHT(there is a feature that automatically brightens your pictures in low to no light). This camera is worth every penney and I couldn't be happier. I also have the dock printer which seems to develop better than ANY developing place I have ever used...I am normally not a big spender because Im a FT student but this is worth your money.

Summary: Never go out with out your Kodak CX7530 camera
Review: 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!

Summary: it's great!
Review: I love this camera, I got it about 2 weeks ago and I have taken tons of pictures with it. It's so great because I can take a picture, put it on my computer and then zoom in and crop it and I have an even closer up picture. The video is also really fun. I took it to a concert and I could actually record the songs from the concert while taking video of the group singing. I love it.

Summary: Great camera for the price!
Review: I love this camera. I previously owned a Sony 3.1 MP, which broke after two years. We chose this camera to replace our Sony after reading many good reviews, and I have to say I agree--this is a wonderful camera for the average user.<br /><br />Takes great pictures, easy to use and understand--can't beat it for the price.<br /><br />

Summary: Exactly what I needed.
Review: I needed a good point and shoot digital camera at a good price and so I went with this Kodak after quite a bit of research. I have taken some absolutely beautiful pictures with this camera, right out of the box. Easy to use, and fantastic results, I highly recomend this camera to anyone who doesn't need the SLR type of control. A great buy!

Summary: KODAK DOES IT AGAIN
Review: 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!

Summary: Amazing - Outstanding - Incredible camera!
Review: 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
