Conclusion
The Kodak EasyShare DX7590 packs a load of features into a relatively compact 12.3 ounces. The 10x optical zoom lens, flash accessory connector, and 32MB of internal memory launch this camera into the ranks with higher end models. These features, paired with 5 megapixels, make the EasyShare DX7590 a good buy at $499.95. This camera would be great for an entry level or intermediate user. The controls allow for automatic or easy functionality, while still leaving room to grow into the more manual modes. There are 16 preset scene modes, plus manual, semi-automatic, and automatic functions. This camera does lack in the movie clip area, shooting 12-20 frames per second without image stabilization as well as lacking an essential custom white balance setting. The camera struggles to control noise and scars most images shot in less-than-ideal lighting, however, the DX7590 does provide strong color reproduction capabilities and sharp image definition with 5 megapixels of resolution. Despite the camera’s difficulty handling noise, the Kodak EasyShare is still a strong buy for a 5 megapixel camera with 10x optical zoom, simplistic functionality, and a variety of features.
