Kodak EasyShare DX4530 Digital Camera

Pros: AA betteries, threaded lens adapter, weight, simplicity
Cons: Poor image color, far too few user settings

I wondered why professional online reviewers such as steves-digicams and dpreview made no mention of this camera. I think I can tell you why. This is a 5 megapixel camera designed for low-end consumers. However, I will tell you that there are things to li ...

Pros: Priced very competitively with other 5 meg cameras.
Cons: Needs just a few more menu options.

I just purchased this camera about a week ago and I'm happy with it so far. It is very light and uses standard AA batteries. The LCD screen is easy to read even outdoors. I like the 5 megapixel resolution, but I think Kodak compresses it a little too much ...

Pros: Photo quality, internal memory, battery types
Cons: Silly lens cap, limited exposure controls, no uncompressed setting

The DX4530 fits into Kodak's upper end of digital cameras - it lacks some features of the higher end DX6 line, and has a better resolution (at 5 megapixels) than the CX line. This camera has a target market and if you fit into that market, this camera is ...

Pros: Perfect pictures, ease of use, long AA battery life, low price!
Cons: ??? silly lens cap, ...still thinking....

This camera is nearly perfect out of the box. Drop the included pair of AA batteries in and start clicking. The picture quality is the best I've seen in any digital camera. It takes better pictures than my moms $4000 Minolta 35mm! When printed on a ...

Pros: Cheapest 5.0mp camera on the market, generous amount of internal memory
Cons: Pictures aren't sharp, autofocus actually blurs images, flash is weak, no rechargeable batteries included

As is true with most things in life, you get what you pay for. This camera, although claiming to be 5mp in actuality has the quality of a 2-3mp camera. Kodak tried too hard to make this camera appeal to everybody, and the end result is horrendous. This ...

Pros: Good photos from a small camera - and it automatically rotates portrait photos. Great price.
Cons: Lens cap

I'll admit that I've never been a fan of Kodak cameras. In my mind, their 35mms never seemed to match the Canons and Minoltas. I've always owned Olympus and my last digital camera was a 3 year old Olympus D490 that took fantastic photos. But it was ...

Pros: A great camera for someone looking for point and shoot features. Great family camera!
Cons: The silly little lens cap is really a pain!

My experience with Kodak has not been very positive, so when my husband presented me with this camera for Christmas, I didn't quite know what to say. I told him that I would try it out and see what it could do. Keep in mind, all I really want was a ...

Pros: Great pictures, even at lower quality settings. Easy to use. Uncomplicated menus.
Cons: Iffy lens cap. No webcam capability

I bought this camera as a "point and shoot" small camera to take with me as I travel on business. I say "Instamatic" because this camera fulfills Kodak's tradition of bringing easy photography to the masses. The analogy ends with the quality of the ...

Pros: 5MP, affordable, Kodak name, Movie mode, User friendly, 32MB internal, did I mention 5MP??
Cons: The lens cap isn't that bad...

Want more from your digital camera? How about 5.0MP for prints up to 20"x30"? Close-up details with 3X optical and 3.3X advanced digital zoom. One-touch-simple e-mailing, printing, and picture transfers thanks to the on-camera Share button. ...

Pros: A lot for your $$
Cons: Low quality prints for a 5MP camera

It'll be hard to find a cheaper digital camera on the market that is a 5MP. But what are you giving up in order to have that 5MP at such a great price? It's hard to define the picture quality on this camera. Overall, 4x6's and 8x10's produce excellent ...

Pros: One-touch buttons, 32MB built-in memory, 5MP resolution, lengthy AV captivity.
Cons: Slower start up time, no image stabilizer, no burst mode.

Well, all I can say - DX4530 is a good entry-level 5.0MP digital camera indeed. Bundled with one-touch buttons make the sharing of photos for emailing, printing and downloading never been easier before. Image Resolution The powerful, ...

Pros: Easy to use (for the no-brainer market). Clear, well-placed controls.
Cons: Spyware in the EasyShare web-updater. Non-rechargeable batteries. Totally lacks fine-tuning controls.

Recently, there has been an explosion of personal digicam purchases in our office. I had the opportunity to compare the performance of my new DX4530 with a Sony DSC P8 belonging to a colleague. Excepting the megapixel max count (5 megapixel vs P8's 3 ...

Pros: Price, essential features (zoom, macro, flash, movie, etc), AA batteries, SD memory.
Cons: External lens cap, slightly large size, not-so-great software.

My wife and I were in the market to replace our HP camera, which broke after one year (just after the warranty expired). On the advice of my sister, we got a Kodak easy-share that was on sale. It came with a free 256 MB secure digital chip. Good ...

Pros: Resolution, Movie Mode
Cons: Only 3x optical zoom

This Kodak camera was one I picked out for my 21st birthday. I was looking for a camera with high resolution but at a very affordable price. I was intending to choose a 3.2 mp camera for about $299 but this exclusive kodak camera was the same price ...

Pros: Best value for the money, good pictures, ease of use
Cons: No major drawbacks that I can think of.

This camera is an excellent bargain. It is one of the cheapest quality 5 megapixel cameras you will find on the market. At the time of this writing the camera itself is probably over a year old which is ancient in today’s technology standards but its ...
