Opinion: In 2005 I purchased the Z7590 when it was first pute on the market. The first thing that got my attention was the SYNC/Pro Light Socket on the left door.

Many buyers to this day and year of 2009 are not aware of this cameras pro functions on this model.

I am infact an owner of three DSLR Pro Cameras and run a portrait studio. When I first pluged in the Z7590 into at least 280 watts at ISO 100, I was amazed of its performance.

This is not your average point and shoot camera, it is a fact that this is a great tool for the beginner starting a small portrait studio.

Though the Mega Pix are topping only 5, the results are amazing, the color is rich and the contrast is perfection.

(NOTE) When using your snyc/lighting socket, camera flash must be raised for blure free photos

Though I own three DSLR pro cameras, I will always remember that the Z7590 got me started

To my old Kodak Z7590 (RIP) 2008

Problems: When using the SNYC/Pro-lighting socket, the camera warned me to raise the flash, when taking photos without the built in camera flash raised or on, you may encounter blurry photos even when using over 300 watts in the socket.

Opinion: i bought a used kodak z7590 for less than a third of its original selling price (brand new) in the philippines. lucky, i know! it was one of the best purchases i have ever made.

Problems: the built-in flash has a very minimal effective range.

Opinion: This is not only an easy to use camera, but it has a nice solid quality feel to it. I really like the compact dimensions - it feels natural to hold. It's not overly heavy, and is fairly well equipped. The stock 10X (38-380mm equiv.) Schneider-Kreuznach lens offers a very nice combination of wide to telephoto capability. Manual shots taken with ISO 400 can get noisy, however a little fine tuning of the other parameters can minimize and even eliminate it. Kodak threw in a few more nice touches - a gamma scale to assist in achieving vibrant shots with out the use of a flash, and a color spectrum graph. Best of all is Kodak kept the price tag low on this camera. For a novice thats just getting into photography, it's nice blend of features and how easy it is to use makes using this camera an addiction.

Problems: I found a few little niggles. No RAW image support - only JPEG. If auto-focus is enabled while recording video, you can hear the camera focusing during play back (is is due to the fact Kodak located the mic is right beside the lens). The internal flash is very week, and has a small working range. Auto-focus sometimes has a mind of it's own. And last minor quibble is the sensor above the lens is easily blocked by add-on lenses and hoods - luckily the camera is smart enough to work things out, but this can occasionally confuse the camera (esp. if one forgets to remove a hood and is trying to take pictures indoors).

Opinion: After trying many point and shoot rigs including the NIKON 8700, SONY H1, CANON S2IS, and PANA FZ30. For my money this has to be one of the best non DSLR's

Problems: Low light can be a bit of a let down. To help remidy that be sure to set the JPEG compression to FINE.

Opinion: I got my Z7590 last November 2005 and since then I became a photography enthusiast.

I like the features it has and the photo quality. I like the construction and ease of use. before I have a problem with the auto focus but now I already know the limitation of it. This camera really fits for newbies in photography.

Problems: ISO 400 is really noisy but ISO 200 can pull it off already.

Opinion: I am very pleased with the Z7590. I have had only one other digetal camera and was disappointed with the life of the batteries. Every time you wanted to take a picture the batteries would have to be charged. So far the batteries in the Z7590 have held up well. I love the point and shoot not having to change settings and the many preset modes. It fits you hand well and weight is very acceptable. All around this has been a good purchase for myself. I am sure that my wife will love it too.
