Digital Camera Review

First Impressions Review

Feb 20, 2005 - By Emily Raymond
This 5-megapixel digital camera is the latest in the Z-series of cameras and fits right in with its 10x optical zoom lens. The Kodak EasyShare Z7590 has a 1/2.5-inch CCD with 5.36 total megapixels and 5 effective megapixels; the CCD works side by side with the Kodak Color Science Chip. The SLR-shaped camera is the first of the Z-series to offer a flash sync connection. The Z7590 offers a variety of optional accessories including wide and telephoto lenses as well as being compatible with both PictBridge and ImageLink printers. With a full range of manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic features, the Z7590 can please just about any consumer willing to tote a 12.3-ounce SLR-shaped digital camera. It will be available in April 2005 for a retail price of $449.

Conclusion
The Kodak EasyShare Z7590 is very similar to the DX7590, but has a 26-pin connector to the USB cradle, which makes it both ImageLink and PictBridge compatible. Besides the extra flexibility, the Z7590 adds a live histogram feature in shooting and can recall the histograms in playback mode. With 5 megapixels on the 1/2.5-inch CCD and a Kodak Color Science Chip to boot, the Kodak Z7590 has plenty of resolution to produce clear and colorful prints. The black SLR-shaped digital camera has polished silver highlights around the Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 10x optical zoom lens. With plenty of automatic scene modes, the semi-automatic priority modes, and the manual mode, this model offers versatility for the beginning shooter to blossom into an experienced photographer.
