Digital Camera Review

1.7 The Kodak EasyShare V530 hit the market in July 2005 and received a price reduction in November to make the camera an affordable choice for holiday buyers. Kodak shed fifty bucks from the original price tag so the stylish 5 megapixel digital camera is now $299.95. This model is designed to appeal to a range of style-conscious consumers with its offerings in several colors. The Kodak V530 comes in midnight black, silver essence, red shimmer, and absolute pink. The digital camera comes with a Schneider-Kreuznach 3x optical zoom lens, a 2-inch LCD screen with 230,000 pixels of resolution, and digital image stabilization in the movie mode. The V530 is very simple to use and has an auto mode, a movie mode, and 20 scene modes. The camera will appeal to consumers who want to print and otherwise share pictures. The V530 has a ruby colored Share button and the camera comes with a Kodak EasyShare Photo Frame Dock 2 that streamlines the transference of photos and movie clips while charging the battery.
