5 comments about Kodak Easyshare Z7590 5MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom.

1. I brough the z7590 camera in July 05 and at that time it was one of the best in terms of features and price. I used it quite a bit - the usual stuff - family parties, camping or long trips on car. Outdoor shooting was pretty good - especially if the lighting is good the camera gave pretty good pictures. Indoor and low light performance is below average (even shooting in best quality mode). On outdoors I should mention the long zoom performance was poor. For example when I shot the golden gate bridge (from the nearest view point) on a bright sunny day the camera only gave a pale red color to the bridge :(
   
   After 1.5 yrs the flash is now not working. What puts me off badly are the options for repair - a quote of 150$ for repair, a minimum charge of 50$ for the Kodak folks to just take a look at it, or a silly trade in program where you get like 10-15$ discount on refurbished models.
   
   Overall average performance, poor customer service and the fact that the flash broke after a year, I am not going to buy a Kodak again.



2. I use this camera in my work. We bought it for newsletter photos, etc. I like it so much better than my personal camera that I've been allowed to use it for personal times and I've had really good luck with it. I just discovered the sports button on the dial and it's been great! I got my son's baseball hit in action! very cool! I now want to buy my own! I'm totally an ameatur and this camera makes me look pretty good!!



3. The Kodak Easyshare Z7590 is the third we have purchased for the newsroom of a small daily newspaper. It is small enough to go anywhere with you yet has a "heft" that makes you feel you are holding an actual camera rather than a plastic toy. All three cameras have been extremely reliable, holding up under daily use by a number of different photographers, some gentle and others not-so-gentle. With a 10x zoom it is capable of going out and getting that distant shot. Has acceptable speed for most sporting events and at 5 mp produces an image with enough resolution for all our needs. Flawlessly connects to all our computers (Mac with OS 10.2). Battery life is always a factor, and the Easyshare battery life is great! This is a perfect first camera for the amateur, casual photographer or anyone who does not absolutely have to produce a poster-size plus image.



4. I love the fact that you can go in and change the settings and that makes for control over taking great pictures! This is my first real digital camera and I'm using it for a class in the Spring. Though it doesn't take that good of night pictures, it more than makes up for it in the way it takes low light pictures! Great Job and props to the people at Kodak for creating a great design on a camera!!!



5. 10x Optical Zoom - Yes
   PC Flash Socket - Yes
   
   Those are the only reasons I bought this camera. To get those features in a better camera would cost quite a bit more $$$. I downgraded from an Olympus SP-320.
   
   The image quality from the Olympus was much better. Better detail in shadows, better color saturation. But it didn't support the remote flash or have the optical zoom range this Kodak had. The flash especially was a feature I needed.
   
   If you don't need the PC socket, look elsewhere. If you do, you can't beat the price.

1 comments about Logitech ClickSmart 510 - Digital camera - 0.35 Mpix / 1.3 Mpix (interpolated) - supported memory: MMC - black, metallic gray.

1. We our purchased our first Logitech webcam-camera a 420 for our son in the military and was so pleased with it's performance that we want to upgrade to the 510 for our son away at collage.
   
   The 510 has a removeable SmartMedia memory card that you insert in the side and you can upgrade to a 16MP plus if you need more memory.
   
   Easy to use, simple instructions just point and shoot. Again, like out other son, we didn't want to invest a lot of money in an high end camera for what he was going to use it for. Mostly to keep intouch with us and his brother.
   
   The resolution is crisp and clear and the 510 has great software like video editing motion detection feature that automatically starts recording when the camera detects movement. It's easy to save and send pics via e-mail. Or live video streaming with audio.
   
   The optics are very good such as brightness, contrast, hue etc on the 1.3 MP Like the 420 works great in low light indoor operation.
   
   Like the 420 the case is plastic and as a toy-like feel to it; but if you can get past that this is an excellent value for the money.
   
   When I rate an item on Amazon I like to keep the rating in perspective. I would not compare a bottom of the like Chevy to a loaded Lincoln. There just not in the class or price range. As with the 510 I compare it with the creative Labs PC-Cam 600 not with a top of the line Minolta which is to expensive for kids to use.

2 comments about Bogen-Manfrotto 3021N Classic Tripod without Head (Silver).

1. I use this tripod with the Bogen/Manfrotto 3030 pan/tilt head, and a Canon 20D DSLR. I've used it for about ten months, mostly outdoors.
   
   The tripod is sturdy and well-built. It's easy to disassemble for cleaning. Cushions on two of the legs make it a little more comfortable to carry on your shoulder if you have a long walk.
   
   Minor extension (an inch or so) of the center column is needed to bring the camera's viewfinder to comfortable eye-level (I'm 5'8"). The center column can be removed and the head fastened to the top of the tripod. Then the legs can be spread flat so that the head is only inches from the ground. That means that with the center column removed the camera lens can be located anywhere from about 8 inches to about five 1/2 feet from the ground.
   
   Use of the center column can add 15 - 16 inches of height. The height of the column has to be adjusted manually and fixed in place with a wing-nut type setscrew. My old tripod had a crank to adjust height, and I miss it a little. Presumably, the lack of a crank mechanism facilitates removal of the center column and therefore provides more versatility at the low end of the height range.
   
   Three regular setscrews help secure the head to the center column. It's a good idea to have a screwdriver (maybe a Swiss army knife or multi-tool) in your camera bag so that you can tighten the setscrews when they work loose in the field, or when you want to remove the center column and place the head directly on the tripod.



2. Purchased this as a gift, it is a great set of tripod legs. Easy to use, great min and max height. Actually considering getting one for myself.

5 comments about Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart 215 1.2MP Digital Camera.

1. This camera has two very bad problems. First, it goes through batteries like they're going out of style. Several other reviews have advised using rechargeable batteries, but in fact, that's a very bad option with this model. The user manual doesn't explain why, but on page 47 it says "do not use rechargeable batteries." I researched this a little - rechargeable batteries get too hot, putting the camera's innards at risk of melting. More importantly, any use of rechargeable batteries will void the service warranty. A voided service warranty would be bad under any circumstances, but it's especially bad in this case, because this particular camera is more likely to break than many others; there is a bug in its software.

   There are two ways to delete pictures from the CF card. You can use the camera itself, or you can use your PC when you have the camera connected. The bug comes into play if you use your PC to delete pictures - you run the risk of "toasting" the camera's firmware. "Toasting" sounds bad, doesn't it? It is indeed very bad - the cost of repairing a "toasted" camera is much greater than the original price of the camera. (Meaning greater than the price of the camera when it was sold new two years ago.) Cameras under the service warranty are simply replaced, but if the service warranty has expired or is void, the customer must pay.

   This is a well-known defect; in fact, it is one of the most-discussed problems involving the HP 215 on HP's "Support Forums." The original post dates back to September 19, 2001.

   I was fortunate; my camera was still under warranty when it broke. I had an extremely difficult time with HP customer service, but eventually I did convince them to send a replacement.

   The replacement camera is adequate, but that's about it. The on/off switch is poorly designed. It takes a delicate touch to properly turn the camera off, and I've lost count of the number of times I've accidentally left it on and returned to find the batteries dead.

   The focus & shoot function is aggravating - to "focus" you must gently depress the button half way, and then you must wait for a signal before you can actually take the picture.

   Judging the camera functioning as it was designed, I'd have given it 2 1/2 stars. With the software bug and HP's lousy customer service added in, it really doesn't deserve any stars at all!




2. i paid over 100.00 for this camera new. if i had the chance to buy another one brand new for 10.00 i would pass it up. this is the biggest piece of junk i ever seen in my life. to call customer service its 2.50 a minute with a 10 minute minimum billed to your phone bill. shame on hewlett packard. i will NEVER buy another hewlett packard product.



3. Our HP camera started taking pictures like the one at: http://67.168.53.83/dfranksweb/files/photo.jpg. HP support is in a foreign country, and they keep wanting to provide suggestions for improving the image. I'm sorry, but this camera is broke. There is no improving the image. Replace the thing already and move on. "But have you tried holding it still?" "Maybe the flash is off?" If they would just look at the pictures it takes, it would be fairly obvious. "Is the lens cap on?" Oh well, I'm off to buy a Canon. Thanks HP.



4. The battery life makes this camera nearly useless. Most times we wanted to use the camera, we needed to switch out batteries first. It would be cheaper to get a better camera and save the money on electricity or batteries. There is also a long delay from the time you push the button until the time the picture is taken, so you can forget about catching kids at the right moment. To make it even more difficult, what you see in the view finder is not neccessarily what is in the picture. Many heads have been cut off in pictures from this camera. I just bought a Kodak digital camera to replace this, and it is fantastic; none of these problems. I don't have anything good to say about this camera. I got it when it first came out a few years ago, so it wasn't even cheap at the time.



5. I got this camera for Christmas several years ago (2001). It was a decent camera during its time. The battery life is non-existant. I used to spend a fortune on batteries. The memory card included allows you to take 12 pictures of highest resolution. The camera is huge, so it is hard to transport in pockets. When it focuses and adjusts to the light levels, etc., it makes an awful noise. The delay with the shutter did create some portraits of hilarity though as the people posing thought the picture was taken and it catches them between a smile and a straight face. It was a nice camera to have as a high school student, but after graduating from college, it is severely inadequate.
