Digital Camera Reviews and Ratings By manufacturer:
Canon | Casio | Fuji | HP | Kodak | Minolta | Nikon | Olympus | Panasonic | Pentax | Samsung | Sony | Misc. | Accessories | Lenses
The Kodak Easyshare Z7590 digital camera is a 5 megapixel camera with a 10x Optical Zoom SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON lens. It will retail at $449.95 (US) and be in stores in May.
Digital Camera Info review the Kodak Easyshare Z7590 and write - 'The Kodak EasyShare Z7590 is very similar to the DX7590, but has a 26-pin connector to the USB cradle, which makes it both ImageLink and PictBridge compatible. Besides the extra flexibility, the Z7590 adds a live histogram feature in shooting and can recall the histograms in playback mode. With 5 megapixels on the 1/2.5-inch CCD and a Kodak Color Science Chip to boot, the Kodak Z7590 has plenty of resolution to produce clear and colorful prints. The black SLR-shaped digital camera has polished silver highlights around the Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 10x optical zoom lens. With plenty of automatic scene modes, the semi-automatic priority modes, and the manual mode, this model offers versatility for the beginning shooter to blossom into an experienced photographer.'
CNET Reviews has a review of the Kodak EasyShare Z7590 digital camera which it rates at 7.2 out of 10 (very good). They write - 'The Kodak EasyShare Z7590 looks great on paper: it has a 10X optical zoom, a 5-megapixel resolution, an SLR-like electronic viewfinder, and manual exposure controls. Unfortunately, its photos tell a different story. A variety of artifacts, including purple fringing around highlights and noise at higher ISO settings, drop this camera's desirability a few notches. Still, niceties such as an action-ready burst mode and a standard PC (Prontor-Compur, not personal computer) connection for an external flash will appeal to photographers who love to play with a full set of features.'

Kodak Press Release: New KODAK EASYSHARE Z7590 Digital Camera Delivers Greater Picture Range via Extended Zoom
Z-Series Designed to Bring Everyday Picture Takers Closer to their Subjects
Eastman Kodak Company today announced an addition to the new line of KODAK EASYSHARE Z-Series digital cameras, which now features four models with extended optical zoom lenses up to 10X. The KODAK EASYSHARE Z-Series cameras help everyday picture takers get closer, better, more creative shots.
The new KODAK EASYSHARE Z7590 (10X optical zoom, 5 megapixel resolution, US$449.95 MSRP) digital camera combines fast-performing, point-and-shoot flexibility with the photographic control achieved through extended optical zoom lenses. They join the previously announced EASYSHARE Z740 and Z700 cameras, which are now shipping.
“People are realizing that the secret to a great digital picture isn’t just about the number of megapixels in the camera,” said Mary Hadley, director of worldwide digital capture marketing at Kodak. “EASYSHARE Z-Series cameras bring extended zoom capabilities such as more flattering portraits and capturing detail from afar — until now the domain of higher-end digital cameras — to more people.”

The KODAK EASYSHARE Z7590 camera is ideal for people who want to further experiment with photography using a fast performing digital camera that includes both automatic and manual settings. Specifically, the Z7590 model offers a professional quality SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON 10X optical zoom lens (38 – 380 mm equivalent) for outstanding dynamic range, fine detail and delicate highlights, and it is the first Z-Series camera to feature flash sync connection. Further, the camera is equipped with a live histogram, which enables users to see the exposure of their subject before taking the shot. Additionally, the exclusive KODAK Color Science chip results in portraits with edge-to-edge sharpness and brightness, rich color, and highly accurate exposure.
The EASYSHARE Z7590 camera will be available worldwide beginning in May 2005.
Making the EASYSHARE System Connection
Z-Series camera owners can quickly print KODAK 4 x 6-inch pictures with just one touch in as little as 90 seconds, using the new KODAK EASYSHARE Printer Dock Series 3. This version is the first to support the new IMAGELINK print system, working with new EASYSHARE cameras and other manufacturers’ compatible cameras.
The Printer Dock Series 3 also transfers pictures to a connected computer, and recharges and reconditions the cameras’ batteries. Pictures made from EASYSHARE printer docks are vibrant, borderless, waterproof, and will last a lifetime.
Only the EASYSHARE line of printer docks makes printing truly one-touch simple, and does not require people to connect a cable between camera and printer. Their convenience, print speed, ease-of-use and phenomenal picture quality have resulted in overwhelming demand from picture takers worldwide, with the line having achieved the number one market position in the United States and the United Kingdom, according to The NPD Group and GfK. Since Q2 2003, Kodak has shipped more than two million EASYSHARE printer docks worldwide.
Kodak has also announced the EASYSHARE Camera Dock Series 3 (May 2005 availability; US$79 MSRP), which provides one-touch picture transfer to a connected computer, video out for television viewing, and battery recharging and reconditioning.
The Z-Series cameras include new KODAK EASYSHARE software version 4.0 for WINDOWS and MACINTOSH systems, providing effortless digital picture organization, editing, sharing and printing. The exclusive One Touch to Better Pictures feature takes advantage of proprietary color technologies developed by Kodak to help users get vibrant, true-to-life prints from inkjet printers. Version 4.0 — also available for free download from http://www.kodak.com — now includes the ability to edit pictures in third-party applications and optional Video CD and DVD burning.
In the J.D. Power and Associates 2004 Digital Camera Satisfaction Study SM evaluating performance, connectivity, cost and appearance, KODAK EASYSHARE cameras in the $200-399 and $400-599 price ranges ranked highest in customer satisfaction. Digital cameras in these segments comprise more than 60 percent of the U.S. market, according to data from The NPD Group.
The award-winning KODAK EASYSHARE digital photography system — consisting of cameras, printer docks and camera docks, software, inkjet and thermal photo papers, and accessories — makes taking, organizing, sharing, and printing high quality digital pictures effortless.
