My second Kodak camera and one that performed as well as could be expected for a digital compact.
The CX7530 is a 5 megapixel (2560x1920) camera with a 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. Although the digital zoom is of no importance to me as it is no different to zooming the image once on the PC.

There were a number of specifications that attracted me to this camera, the first two being storage media (Secure Digital/MMC) and battery power (2xAA). An optical zoom, while only 3 times, is enough to frame a picture correctly when you can't quite get in the right position. There is MPEG4 movie capability but this, along with the 'share' facility were of least importance to me. At least Kodak supply a hand strap which is something most mobile phone manufacturers seem to omit.

While the pictures are undoubtedly of good quality this camera is let down by the heavy battery consumption. The menus, controls, and functions are easily understood although the on/off rotary dial (pictured below) is easily accidentally turned while in your pocket or camera case.
