Marvellous Pictures Even By 2010 Standards
To a great extent rarely do I like a product enough to take time to minimize a review, but my old friend the Kodak DX4530 deserves some love.

I bought this camera "like new" in its nonconformist packaging at a local pawn shop in 2004 - about a year late it hit the market with a $400 list price. This camera was made in front of you could buy a 10 MP camera new for $75. I paid $75 for it adapted to and it has proven to be money well spent. It is our "go to" camera for point and speed use.

Every family gathering we attend, this 5 MP camera routinely outperforms newer likeness cameras with larger file size capabilities. The sister in-laws with 8 and 10 MP cameras are perplexed by their cameras mediocrity to the DX4530 and always ask how we take such great photos.

One aloof feature this camera possesses is that it actually has a viewfinder (you cognizant of, the little glass window folks used to peer throughout for a preview of their shot) in addition to an LCD screen. I am not aware of any point up and shoot digital cameras made with a viewfinder now. The viewfinder is fair for two reasons - (1) it allows you to save money on batteries by disabling the "red-hot view" LCD screen, and (2) it reduces camera shake when you clasp it against your face to take a photo.

I really don't be struck by a problem with the lens cap and "bulk" I have read others discontented about. Compared to the 35mm's I grew up with this thing is little.

This camera has been a real workhorse over the concluding 6 years. If you can find a used one in good condition I would gap on it. It will take photographs comparable with many of today's headland and shoot digitals.

Absolutely an Excellent Camera
I bought this camera 5 years ago during a Unprincipled Friday sale for $140, and its best some of the best affluence I've ever spent on any piece of electronics. Rarely is a tech effect good enough to remain useful nearly 7 years at the back of its debut, but I still use this camera all the time.

The camera takes handsome shots, especially outdoors. The optical zoom is great, and on all occasions provides a clear picture when employed. The flash is proficient, though you do need to be careful about redeye. The facial detection software is great, and for the time this camera was made, was genuinely fantastic. The image stabilizer is really great as well. It was one of the original camera's Id used that let you focus by holding the shoot handle down half way, letting you take instant shots with no stop. (If you dont realize this, your shots will depreciate forever, and will always end up blurry, I think many buyers dont achieve this).

5MP is more than enough for most people, I end up shrinking nap most of my photos anyway. A few people mentioned interior photos are too hidden, but if you give the camera a second or two to adjust, or manually change settings, Ive had no problems at all.

The camera is exceptionally stout. After my friend crammed a broken SD card in the slot, the sd reader once in a blue moon works, but I can't blame that on the camera. It spends most of its however getting crushed under text books while my day-sack is being thrown around, and the though the plastic cover for the LCD vet recently cracked (the screen is still 100%) Ive never had any problems whatsoever.

The contrariwise downsides are only a few downsides. This is a large camera. Granted not oversized for the time, modern consumers will find the camera unusually bulky and a bit heavy. It's comfortable in a pants pocket, but its the only quirk you'll be putting in that pants pocket.

The other big downside is the battery-operated. While it claims AA batteries are usable, they really aren't. You for to buy http://www.amazon.com/Kodak-MAX-CRV3-Lithium-Battery/dp/B0000632T3 or equivalent. When I maiden bought the camera, these were expensive, which was a outstanding downside. Now however, they're only about twice the payment of 2 double A's for the Duracell brand, and they last a for a long dream of time. I can count on my fingers how many times Ive changed the battery-operated in 5 years. I dont have any experience with rechargeables on this camera.

The solely other improvement I can imagine is allowing longer video clips. Respectively video clip is limited to 60 seconds. This is reasonably to make it useful, but it would be great to be able to record for hours to an big SD union card. You also cant zoom in or out whithout stopping your video photo and starting again.

Overall a great camera. If you happen to crop up b grow across one I'd still recommend it against most new cameras for the worth. The camera feels more like a film camera than a digital camera, and this could be warm for not so tech savvy people.

I've hated this camera for 4 years ...
I virtuous bought a new camera today, and while linking this recto to show the old one to some internet friends, I figured I might as all right review it ...


Man, I am SO glad to be rid of this thing. I mean, sure, it takes sufficient pictures, I love the docking station, and it's lasted this want (and is still in decent shape), so I guess my dislikes are just a of importance of being picky. Anyway, I hate the d-pad control on this standard. I thought I hated d-pads in general, but I have realized that it's THIS d-pad that I flinch from. It really sucks. And it's about shot after 4 years of use. I disinclined that it has a lens cap instead of the lens that automatically shutters itself. I detestation that it's so bulky. It has terrible hand-feel, it's difficult not to last your fingers into the shot. I hate how long it takes concerning the time you push the button and the time it actually takes the double. I hate that you can't do any editing through the camera (I had a sony formerly, and you can crop, take pics in sepia, black and white, etc, you can liven up, etc, etc, right ON THE CAMERA). And I hate that the editing software sucks so bad (am fully sensible I could use something else, and I readily admit that I do not differentiate how). I hate that it takes TERRIBLE close-ups even in assiduous-up mode (I know you love the highly technical terms I use). I aversion that my mother-in-law's cat knocked my sony off the top of her entertainment unit 4 years ago, and THIS is what she replaced it with as my xmas introduce.

I just really hate this camera.

It works granting. I guess that's something ...

Effects Camera but....... 4gb sd card does not work
This is my triumph camera, bought it on Black Friday of 2003 for $299 (included a uninhabited 128mb card)
I've taken over 6000 pictures with this cam, a preponderance of them are good. However, nighttime pictures do not come out uncommonly well.

Since then, I've bought a 256mb card, upgraded to a 1gb.. Yesterday bought a 4gb Overstep card and it did not work :(
Checked the Kodak site, found no firmware upgrade at, stuck with firmware v1.000

A excellent camera
Straightforward though this is an older model that is no longer sold new, this is my patronize one. It's a great camera with good features. Best to buy an supernumerary memory card since the internal memory is limited.

One year promise warning, not enough
Behind schedule getting this camera as a gift last Xmas(2005) i was glad with the features and picture quality. However, when attempting to use it this Xmas (2006) i was greatly troubled when it would not turn on at all. It works in the docking station only and a new battery does not fix it. I had only used it about 4 times in that senior year and when contactin Kodak about a obvious defect, they blew me off and said it was out of it's one year covenant and all i could do was trade it in and buy a referbished lower end camera for about as much as i paid for this one. I am no longer a Kodak consumer due to this and their response to my inquires. This is not to disuade someone from buying this product, just know in their warranty and how they deal with them prior to buying.

heinous camera
I passion this camera! I already used the Kodak easyshare software, and there were zero glitches with updating my camera and medico. The short video clips I can take turn out well too. Nevertheless, I bought this camera thinking that video clips, while shorter, would be righteous like a video camera stream. Nope. Once you upload, it's unblemished the images aren't as high quality. When I was created a DVD and inured to video from my old camcorder files (which broke, as a result getting this camera) and the files from this camera, OK, there's no comparison. HOWEVER, the photos are awesome and perhaps all video files from digital cameras aren't as pure as a real camcorder. Anyway, overall VERY happy with the camera.

Handsome pics time after time
I genuinely love this camera. My previous camera was a Minolta SLR, which I in the same way loved, and I swore I would never "go digital". I take three children (ages 7, 4, and 1) and I was going at the end of one's tether with at least 2 rolls of film/month... more if a individual event occurred. Several photos on each roll wouldn't arouse out, of course, and sometimes (at Christmas, for example) I'd waste an entire swathe in one sitting, hoping to get JUST ONE photo where all three cherubs were looking in my charge instructions. But I loved the beauty of the prints so much, and I thought a digital camera couldn't set side by side. Oh, how wrong I was! My parents got my husband & me the Kodak for Christmas, and I (sadly but truthfully) refuge't touched the Minolta since. I have just as much fun playing with this camera as I did my SLR, turning off the whizz and using natural light and changing the color setting to outrageous/white or sepia. My prints are gorgeous, and the best part is sly what I'm getting BEFORE I visit the photo lab. I also like the rechargeable tamper with, even if it is a little bulky to travel with. I would mention favourably this camera time and time again, especially to digital "rookies" like myself!
