Digital Camera Review

The 5 megapixel Kodak EasyShare DX7590 aims to satisfy with its SLR-like styling and Schneider-Kreuznach 10x optical zoom lens. The DX7590 boasts the highest number of megapixels in the $499.95 price range. The camera body is boxier than most digital cameras, but still fits comfortably in two hands — it’s got a large right-hand grip and a wide bottom. The DX7590 contains an oversized 2.2-inch LCD screen, single and continuous shooting modes, as well as 32MB of internal memory. The camera offers 16 preset scene modes as well as numerous semi-automatic, automatic, and manual modes. With the feel of an SLR and ease of a point-and-shoot, this camera enables a novice user to feel like a true photographer. Announced in August 2004, the Kodak EasyShare DX7590 provides users with increased megapixels at an affordable price.
