Amazon.com Product Description
The Kodak EasyShare V530 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom lifts the bar for family-friendly digital photography. As powerful as it is petite, you'll not only turn heads while you're taking pictures or shooting video with this baby--you'll also gain the enthusiastic accolades of your friends and family when you start sharing the shots you've taken. Whether it's a TV-quality video of your child's first step, or a 20-inch by 30-inch family photo you have printed for framing, the EasyShare V530 is designed to deliver.

And this camera proves that looks can truly be deceiving. At about the size of a man's wallet, with a stylish black casing, the EasyShare V530 is loaded with features that were formerly reserved for cameras twice as large and much more expensive. Included among the many features are:

  • 5.0-megapixel resolution for 20 x 30 inch prints of amazing clarity
  • 36-108mm f2.8-4.8 lens (35mm film camera equivalent) with 3x optical zoom for close-up shots
  • Up to 80 minutes of continuous MPEG-4 video with audio capture and playback
  • Two-inch high-resolution color display with 170 degree viewing angle
  • Quicktime video format and one-button EasyShare system for quick, universal sharing of videos and photos
  • Photo Frame Dock 2 for stylish display of your photos and easy transfer to your computer

With a resolution of up to 5.0-megapixels, you won't have to worry about grainy, pixelated images when it's time to print. Sporting a 3x Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon Optical Zoom lens, the EasyShare V530 is built to produce professional-quality prints with remarkable clarity, precision, and sharpness from edge to edge. You no longer have to sacrifice quality for the convenience that digital photography delivers. Kodak's proprietary "Color Science Chip" ensures that the colors and flesh tones that you capture are accurate, clear and precise. Digital red-eye reduction, cropping, and blurry picture alert features and more will keep your subjects looking great shot after shot.

And when it's time to make a movie, the EasyShare V530 will be waiting to deliver outstanding video that you can simply plug straight into your TV for instant viewing. With up to 640 x 480 pixels of resolution, and a zoom-in feature and digital stabilization that will keep your frames from shaking, you'll have the confidence you need to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Kodak's EasyShare software, a simple way to edit, organize, print and view a slide show of your photos on your computer, is included. Also included is the Kodak EasyShare Photo Frame Dock 2, a unique way to display your photos and easily transfer your photos to your computer while recharging your battery at the same time.

In short, the Kodak EasyShare V530 gives you everything you need right out of the box to start capturing your own Kodak moments with professional-quality photos and videos.

3 out of 5 stars Good Camera For Beginners   December 15, 2008
L. Welch (Arizona, USA)
I bought the Kodak V530 to replace my AMAZING Pentax Optio, which I dropped (jamming the lens and rendering it useless). Unfortunately, I was on my honeymoon in Hawaii and paid almost $400 for this camera (about three years ago). The Kodak wouldn't have been my first choice, but it was the most comparable to the camera I had--so I thought.

I'm a nerdy picture person; I use my camera every day. I like to be able to stick it in my pocket and be ready for anything. Yes, the V530 is very small, it has a big screen and it's easy to use. For someone who is already camera savy, this isn't the product for you. The shutter recovery speed is incredibly slow, so you can't catch really good frame-after-frame action shots. The optical zoom says 3X, but I have my doubts about that--it sucks. There's no stabilization control, so if you're moving, you tend to get a fuzzy picture. However, if you want a camera for a beginner--maybe a grandparent--this is a good choice. It's fine for every-day pictures and, like I said, really easy to use.

My best advice: wear your wrist strap. I really regret losing my Optio and still haven't found a comparably priced camera to match it.



5 out of 5 stars I love this camera!   December 11, 2008

I've had this camera for years now, it's never broken, i've never treated it well or stored it in a case, and it's held up great. it feels really solid and heavy in its construction.

the pictures are great, the video is great (for the price anyway, i've never had a super pricey camera). i'm very happy with this camera still after all these years...



4 out of 5 stars A good first camera   November 12, 2008

I received this camera as a high school graduation present from my parents three years ago. This was my first digital camera and think that it's a great first camera to own and to play around with. I love the black color making it look sophisticated and also how small it is. It fits perfect in most camera carrying cases. Though it is only 5.0 Mega Pixels (I realize that cameras go up to a lot higher number now) the quality of the picture on the screen was always satisfying to me. I love all the options you have to change what kind of setting you are in including making the picture black and white or sepia. It even has a setting on there for fireworks and moving objects.

One of the main issues I had with the camera that I would have change is the size of the viewing screen and what it is made out of. I just would have liked to see the screen a little bit bigger. Some cameras now have the screen covering the entire back of it and I would like to see this screen bigger. Also, whatever the screen is made of attracts fingerprints like crazy. Every time I would try to wipe off the screen, I just smeared the fingerprints instead of really getting rid of them. I would have liked to see the screen more of a shiny substance easier for wiping off or including some kind of cloth that will take off all the smudges.
I recently had to buy a new camera because this one just bit the dust after 3 years. Suddenly the camera just stopped working and I was unable to turn it on or off. The shutter wouldn't come out. Or, if it did, I would have to wait until the camera battery died for it to go back in. Also, all of the screws except one that hold the front cover on fell out.

Overall, I would recommend this camera as a solid first digital camera to give a young person to capture the last of their teen years. It was a valued asset to me.



3 out of 5 stars Canon is still best !!!   June 24, 2008

I purchase this camera almost a year ago. I think it's a good compromise between price and features.

Pros --
1> Price. Much cheaper than other cameras and has good features.
2> Size. Compact, can be easily carried in pocket without hassle. Almost size of cell phone.
3> Point & Shoot. Good photos with Auto mode.

Cons --
1> Battery. After a year, now the camera dies before end of day. Since it has rechargeable battery, you are stuck with dead camera for your evening s.
2> Software. If you don't have memory card reader, then you must install Kodak software. This means, after every reboot, it will check for updated version. If you have card reader, you can download pics right from the card.
3> Video. Every time you are trying to capture video, if the camera has to focus, the noise of lens shifting is recorded too. It's audible when played back.
4> Selected mode is lost when power turned off. Suppose if you select 'Night Portrait' mode and after taking couple of pics, you turned off camera, next time when you switch back on, it's back to 'Auto' mode. You need to switch back to 'Night Portrait' again.
5> Flash. Just not powerful enough. It's good for 4-5 feet range but if you are taking pictures in a large room, pictures come dark due to inadequate flash. Same time pictures taken by Canon G5 came perfect.

(DC charger which plugs in charger station can be plugged directly into camera for charging.)

I purchased this camera to replace my Canon G4. I was pleased initially at it's size but soon started missing Canon's powerful flash, swivel screen, picture/video quality etc.
