The Kodak EasyShare DX7590 packs a load of features into a relatively compact 12.3 ounces. The 10x optical zoom lens, flash accessory connector, and 32MB of internal memory launch this camera into the ranks with higher end models. These features, paired with 5 megapixels, make the EasyShare DX7590 a good buy at $499.95. This camera would be great for an entry level or intermediate user. The controls allow for automatic or easy functionality, while still leaving room to grow into the more manual modes. There are 16 preset scene modes, plus manual, semi-automatic, and automatic functions. This camera does lack in the movie clip area, shooting 12-20 frames per second without image stabilization as well as lacking an essential custom white balance setting. The camera struggles to control noise and scars most images shot in less-than-ideal lighting, however, the DX7590 does provide strong color reproduction capabilities and sharp image definition with 5 megapixels of resolution. Despite the camera’s difficulty handling noise, the Kodak EasyShare is still a strong buy for a 5 megapixel camera with 10x optical zoom, simplistic functionality, and a variety of features.

The Kodak Easyshare DX7590, has some appealing qualities, the 10x optical zoom lens, the large 2.2″ screen, a 5 megapixel sensor, a good macro mode, and it’s quick focusing and shot time, however due to the camera not having any form of image stabilisation, the 10x zoom is often only usable in good lighting, and it’s images are a bit soft and fuzzy. The MPEG4 movie mode is appealing, although other cameras often have a higher frame rate. The camera is definitely worth considering due to the competitive price and features, but personally I’d be more inclined to find an ultra zoom with image stabilisation, such as the Konica Minolta Dimage Z5, or the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 / FZ20.

Kodak expands its DX line with the 5-megapixel Kodak EasyShare DX7590. Kodak’s latest superzoom has a virtually identical body to that of the 4.2-MP EasyShare DX6490, which we awarded an Honorable Mention last year. This camera is also a solid performer, but as with the DX6490, we wish it had antishake capabilities for long zoom shots. Still, the camera’s overall image quality and performance remain good, and, as we’ve come to expect from Kodak, it’s a very user-friendly camera. This is a good camera that’s easy to use and takes appealing pictures. If it had antishake technology built in and took slightly sharper images, we’d have liked it even better.

The Kodak Easyshare DX7590 is a direct evolution of the DX6490 that we tested precisely a year ago. This camera maintains the design and the 10X Schneider-Kreuznach optical zoom, but with a resolution increased to 5 megapixel and a redesign of some of its external controls. The camera body is black plastic with a metallic ring at the lens mount, and a brown metallic area at the top of the large ergonomic grip, itself covered with non-slip rubber.
