friends say, "Wow!" this is a
great camera. The only issue I've had with the camera is taking photos of
heavily lit situations at night such as Christmas light displays, etc. No
matter what setting I used, the photos still came out a bit unfocused.
However, everything else is superb. A fantastic buy.

Poor Kodak Customer care, March 18, 2006
Reviewer: Charlene Etienne
Kodak products are defective and Kodak consumer advocates that Kodak
provides for consumers is a joke they are not for the buyer but are for
the corporation to appear that they try to help the average consumer. I
will not being buying Kodak I am finished. They are awful with customers.

Unbelievable quality for the price, January 25, 2006
Reviewer: Capt. Quig
I purchased this camera in October 2004 and have been using it now for 16
months. I have to say that I am thoroughly pleased with this product. I am
a professional graphic designer, and I have used it to take photos that
wound up being used in printed national magazines. Everything good about
this camera has probably already been said in the other reviews (excellent
picture quality, long battery life, good software support, etc.).
My only complaint would be that there are times when it asks for the flash
to be popped up (it's not automatic) in scenerios when I would have
thought there was enough light. Also, if you've owned this camera since
it's early introduction, make sure you get the downloadable firmware
update from Kodak's web site--it fixed some issues I experienced earlier
with focusing in indoor photos.
I paid $500 for this camera. The price it sells for now is a steal. Also,
I recommend the faster SD cards for this camera, since the compressed,
hi-res, 5 megapixel JPEGs are about 1.5 to 2 megabytes in size. I bought
the standard 512MB SanDisk, but the 5MP images wait about 3-4 seconds
between shots. Instead, I'd recommend the Ultra II or any hi-speed card
instead.

CLEARING THE AIR, December 3, 2005
Reviewer: DJ
I too am happy with my purchase of this unit. It bridges the gap between
lower spec p&s cameras and SLR cameras nicely. I generally agree with the
reviews I've read here and haven't much to add on the merits of the unit.
The pics are infinitely print worthy and will satisfy all but the most
savvy (or hyper-critical) DC officionados.
My sole reason for adding to this post is that I am reading a thread of
misinformation here and would like to clear the air.
The specs of the DX7590 and the Z7590 are basically identical. The Z7590
was NOT created to address any issues with low light focus and is in fact
an update to allow the DX7590 to work with the new series 3 docking
station. The Z unit does have an improved low light focus accuracy due to
user feedback and this same update is available for the DX through a
simple firmware update available at Kodak's website. Amazon does not allow
linking but a simple search of the support page for your camera will take
you to the download.
If compatibility with the series 3 docking station is a requirement for
you, then you need to be reading about the Z7590, not the DX7590. If you,
like myself, do all of your photo handling with a PC, or if you already
have a series 1 or 2 docking station, then your main factor in choosing
between the DX or Z should be price.
I took adavantage of a recent phenominal price on the DX7590 and feel like
I've almost gotten away with a crime here. Something this great can't be
this affordable, can it?

Easy to Use, September 16, 2005
Reviewer: Shadblu "shadblu"
Never having had a digital camera and having even less knowledge about how
they work, I was very skeptical. My son actually picked this camera out
for me, taking in the above problems.
The camera and docking station are a breeze. I have learned how to use
them much quicker than I would have thought. I also find new features to
master.
It is easy to use, compact and even a beginner can master it.
