My Kodak DX7590

A digital camera is a phenomenal gadget that’s a must have nowadays to us explorers, wannabe photographers, trendsetters, businessmen, students, etc.

I started to love photography when I started traveling with friends to various amazing places. I felt the need for a handy digital camera and felt guilty not being able to take a shot of never before seen beauty of nature (at least for me). Although my cell phone helped me capture photos, it sadly wasn’t up to the task and couldn’t give me a perfect still shot.

So I decided to browse online & purchase a camera that I would just need. I was so lucky as a very gentle guy was ready to give up his Kodak DX7590.

I can still recall how he turned it over to me and said,

"I hope you’d love the camera and capture your most cherished moments with it as my wife did.”

I didn’t hesitate to buy it instantly.

The packaging was so well preserved, that you can almost mistake it for a brand new one. It was neatly tuck inside the box and well kept.

After using the camera for a month, these are the following things I like about it:

- It’s not heavy; portability is no issue
- The color of the pictures are vibrant and consistent to its true appearance
- Capable of getting wide angles
- Battery power is a winner
- Can directly dock to a printer
- has internal & expandable memory
- Its optical zoom of up to 10x
- Has a very cool design

If you think this semi-SLR is the heavy type of camera like the ones used by professionals, you’re mistaken. It’s sleek design and portability is just right.

Kodak DX7590 was awarded as Innovations 2005 Design and Engineering award at the Consumer Electronics Show. Reading the professional reviews, it is no doubt a good buy for anyone.

If you happen to have the Kodak DX7590, check if it’s not updated to the latest firmware. I’ve recently upgraded to the 1.01 firmware and have noticed crisper pictures in low-light levels.
