Our old and faithful Sony DSC-P31 broke up ! Having decided in first place to have it fixed, I changed my mind when I saw the prices of the present "low-end" cameras ( for everyday usage, we prefer to carry a low-end camera, "inexpensive" to replace in case of theft, damage, etc). Almost all our photos are point and shoot type. For more elaborate works we have a Sony DSC-s85, with all kind of manual settings but heavy to carry.
Looking for something not expensive, I decided to get a Kodak CX7530 on sale for about 169 € (this is a 5MP camera! The old one had 2 Mp - despite excellent quality- and costed about 300 €, 3 years ago! Signs of the times). The decision was taken after reading the good review it has on Steve's Digicams - www.steves-digicams.com. I bought it today and started immediately to test. At first glance the gizmo seems to be relatively solid and features a "no-brainer" set of menus, so easy to use that will certainly allow all the family to enjoy it easily. It is using the old Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries from the P-31 and after about 40 pictures taken, still seems to have charge for many more.
The picture quality seems to be good at first sight, with strong colors (Kodak style?). Still no definitive opinion with so few pics. See a posting of one of my first experiences, converted from 5 MP for a more "portable" size. More pictures to come in brief. The exposure was 1:30 at f/2.7. Focal length, 5.6 mm. No tripod used.
