Kodak 7590, 7440 or Canon a95
Hi:
I have been saving a few bucks to originally buy the Kodak 7590 but it is taking too long and started to look at other cameras. I have a Kodak DX3600 which I love and it takes great pictures, but I wanted something with more manual controls and perhaps low light settings. I mostly take pictures of "things" like rocks, water, trees, stuff like that. I don't really take pictures of people. I went to the website www.imaging-resource and read reviews and compared pictures hoping someone would say - this is the best camera you could buy. I have enough money saved now to buy the Kodak 7440 or the Canon A95 but I am not sure which I want - any ideas. I do like the fact that the Canon will take AA batteries because I can buy those in bulk and be fine, but I really like the quality of Kodak. Thanks for adding your 2 cents. Carol |

I just got the Kodak DX7590 two days ago to replace my aging DX3500 which I
will admit was horrid under all but the best lighting conditions. If you purchase the camera before the end of the year, you are eligible for a free 1GB memory card for it if you send away for the rebate from Kodak. Better get it today! I've tried the camera under alot of different conditions, and its flawless for them all. The flash is powerful enough to provide excellent fill across a large room. The 10x zoom is also very nice! The superior optics are what really sold me. My friend had just bought a Fuji FinPix S7000, and there is just no comparison. He saved some money, but drooled hard over my Kodak. Sucks to be him...lol. If you buy it from the web from Circuit City, its only $450.00 and you can do instore pickup. Good luck! J "Carol Elder" wrote in message ...

Carol You might also consider the older DX6440 if you can find it. It is likely to be cheaper and has most of the features of the DX7440, and uses AA batteries. I made the switch from the DX3600 to the DX6440 and it has performed very well. I am still learning what all the scene modes do. One thing is certain, using the night mode REQUIRES a tripod, or nice solid rock. -- Ron Hunter |

The DX6440 uses AA batteries, and takes awesome pictures. The DX7630 is
incredible for the type of pictures you like to take. Those are my favorite subjects, also. "Carol Elder" wrote in message ...

Its funny, I thought I was the only person who had this delimma. I too have
a DX3600 which for me was fine until I wanted to crop a few pics and still print a very good 8x10. Now I realized I needed an upgrade, yet still didnt want a degree in engineering to operate the damn thing. I also suffered from information overload --Consumer Reports, Steves Digicams, Imaging Resource, etc. I originally bought a Fuji E550, but wound up returning it because I still like to look through a viewfinder like a film camera, and this one was useless. I also nixed the camera because of its expensive memory card. What I decided to do was not pay a penny more than the old DX3600 and see what I came up with. Here it is- A CX7530. Fully automatic 5 megapixel, with a few different scene modes, a 512mb card and a tripod, and still paid a few bucks less than my old (3 yrs) Kodak. "Carol Elder" wrote in message ...

Greetings Carol,
I would wait a bit longer and get the DX7590. It has more of the features that I am going to guess that you would enjoy and use in the future. The camera has nice features and a great optical zoom (10X) as well as enhanced digital to 30x. Since you note nature scenes, I believe you would enjoy it greatly. Plus, this model has the option of external flash, that would greatly enhance your nature shots, i.e. rocks, trees, etc. You can easily switch between screen and EVF as well (EVF = Electronic Viewfinder). I suggest a full review of the camera and features. If the flash and optical zoom is not important to you, then you may enjoy the DX7440 as well, also an excellent choice. If you have any particular questions regarding either of these, Carol, let me know, I am here for you. Ron Baird Eastman Kodak Company "Carol Elder" wrote in message ...
