 Fabulous, sleek little camera August 1, 2006

I bought this camera in July 2006 at Wal-Mart for $149, but I had to call 20 Wal-Marts before finding a store that said they had it in black. I was told it was because Kodak was going to quit making this model, which is a shame.
Pros- It takes great pictures, and it is very compact and stylish (I made a case for mine out of a hard-cased band-aid box because it is that small!); I always get compliments on how great it looks. I hadn't considered a kodak before due to the cheap feeling of the outside, but this one broke the mold with style and image quality. The lcd is big enough and its crystal clear. It also has a neat feature that will brighten or darken the picture without having to go through a bunch of menus. The video feature is handy, although I'm not sure I'm too crazy about the fact that it gives you the stills with it. The dock that comes with it is a great way to display it, but seems to be a double edged sword (I'll come back to this).
Cons- the "OK" button is definately too small, as i have small hands and still have to use my nail to press it. Occasionaly indoor pictures turn out a little dark, probably because the flash is right where your hand would normally sit. The battery life is nothing to write home about, but its satisfactory. The dock that comes with it looks nice but it really is not practical as far as transfering pictures because you have to have it plugged in to an outlet and into the computer to transfer pictures, but it is bearable. It came with a neck strap vs. a wrist strap, but thats just personal preference. You can't use the favorite feature without using kodak easyshare software, which is really annoying. These are just a couple of small things that are trivial, as only one thing about this camera really makes me upset- the video records in MOV. This means it will only play in apple quicktime and is not compatible with Windows Media Player or Windows Movie Maker unless you use a converter, which is really unneccesary. Kodak should've thought that one through a little more.
Overall I would not hesitate in recommending this camera, and would strongly suggest the black if you are considering it. This camera is worth every bit that I payed for it, and more. If I had the choice to do it over again, I would.

Excellent camera! Very nice pictures at large sizes. Camera is small and easy to carry. Camera is very sturdy. Has lots of easy to use features which are selected by icon and text. Only problem is the LCD (settings icon and view finder) is very difficult to see in bright light. At a recent skydiving event, I could not adjust the camera, nor could I see where the camera was aimed.

This camera is cute, compact, easy to operate without a manual and has great video quality, but...I am disapointed with picture quality. I would like to buy another pocket digital camera, but to be honest...ALL 3 TIMES OPTIACAL ZOOM cameras are bad. I've tried a sony, a nikon, a canon, a casio, a pentax...none have picture quality. I am a very picky person when it comes to quality. Pictures are memories of ones lives...we need better quality photos. Why can't camera manufactures start working on improving the optical zooms on these pocket cameras? THIS...THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. In case you didn't realize what the difference between and optical and a digital zoom is...is the optical zoom is the closest comparison to a human eye. Digital is tiny parts that make up a picutre. Like a pixel.
First the optical kicks in and then the digital. Digital distorts an image that is already been streched by the optical zoom. You should always look for a high optical camera when buying one. I have a Nikon Coolpix 8700 that has an 8x optical zoom. My pictures are very good. They sell them up to 12 x optical to retailers. Of course..you pay big dollars for this..But. Man. What wonderful quality. Of course the CCD adds alot as well.
But back to the KODAK V530. I give it an 8 out of 10. The macro is good. Just don't hold it too close to your macro subject. Hold it steady and use auto flash and your picture should be good.
Telephoto is grainy! I dont like the telephoto on this camera.
That is my disapointment. You need that killer optical zoom for telephoto shots.
LETS COMPLAIN TO THE MANUFACUTUERS...MAKE BETTER OPTICAL ZOOM POCKET CAMERAS....AT LEAST A 6 TIMES.
PS...THERE IS NO VIEW FINDER ON THIS KODAK CAMERA. I NEVER USE ONE ANYWAY BUT...YOU MAY LIKE A FEATURE LIKE THAT ON A CAMERA.
I love this little camera July 27, 2006

I love how small this camera is. It fits in a dress bag neatly. It takes really good pictures. Read the manual as it will assist you in taking better quality pictures. The easy share software is a bit of a lesson. Be sure to also save pictures on your hard drive, so you can freely share without using the Kodak's program.
Great Camera July 23, 2006
