Pros: SO EASY to use camera and software. Takes videos, too. Great resolution.
Cons: The kids wiggle out of position before the camera takes the shot.
The Bottom Line: I can't say enough about how easy this camera is to use. The software makes it so easy to e-mail or "play" with pictures.

| tamraarruda's Full Review: Kodak EasyShare DX4530 Digital Camera |
Okay, I know so many of us are worried about getting a digital camera. You're thinking "Gee, I'd really like to do all those neat things, like e-mail pictures. But, I'm not going to understand how to use it.". Well, if you are currently USING e-mail, then you can definitely do this!! The greatest part is the software that comes with the camera. The camera has one dial on top with little pictures. You simply turn the dial according to what kind of picture you want to take. I use "auto" almost every time. The flash is automatic (it goes off whenever it's necessary). There's a setting on the dial for fast action shots, close-ups, far-aways (landscapes), nighttime, and a little movie camera picture for taking videos. After you take your pictures you either plug the cable included) from the camera into the computer, or take out the memory card (sold separately)and stick it into the corresponding slot in your computer (newer models). without doing anything else, the kodak program will open and download your pictures. There are many models of this camera (easy share) with various megapixels. I chose 5, but that is very high. You can make a poster out of these pictures and it will be great quality. For just taking snapshots, you can go with lower megapixels (I'd say 3 at least) and they would still be good. But, you will never be disappointed with the higher megapixels if it's in your price range. I bought mine for about $300. Oh, once you download your pictures you can EASILY fix red eyes, or make them black and white, or sepia (old fashioned brown color) and much more. All you do is click on the pictures you want then easily click the e-mail tab to e-mail them. If you are afraid of technology....GET YOURSELF A KODAK EASY SHARE CAMERA!!!
