Kodak Color Science Image Processing Chip Kodak's Color Science Image Processing Chip offers a new high-speed digital image processor, advanced algorithms, and hardware acceleration features that enable the CX7530 make simultaneous, split-second decisions to produce rich, vibrant, true-to-life colors in almost any lighting situation. Each time you click the shutter, the Kodak Color Science Chip performs an instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and correct multiple factors that influence picture quality. Scene light source is detected and adjustments are made to capture bright whites and true, vivid colors under difficult lighting conditions--fluorescent, tungsten or daylight. Scene content is analyzed for luminance, focal distance, subject matter orientation and color to determine the correct exposure and capture the natural details, accurate flesh tones, and rich colors you see in your composition.

I've taken some great pictures with this camera!
I'm a thunderstorm enthusiast, so I've been using this to take photos of clouds and video of lightning storms. While it's definitely not professional quality, it's great for a hobbyist.
Don't bother with the digital zoom, though, honestly. It makes pictures far too grainy.

Doesn't like cold weather!
I bought this, my first digital camera, to document the building of my new house. It worked reasonably well at first, but when winter closed in and the builders were still hard at work, my camera wasn't. Every time I turned it on it immediately turned off again. For a while after that it still worked okay indoors, but eventually I had the problem regardless of the temperature. Occasionally if I kept turning it on I won the battle and it would stay on and take a reasonably good picture, but the next time I wanted to use it I would have to go through the same hassle. I have seen good reviews of other Kodak products, but I won't buy another. I've just replaced the camera with a Nikon S700 and the difference, both in quality of the pictures and in ease of use (make that possibility of use) is incredible.

Battery consumer
The 7530 works fine. Like some other reviewers, battery life is very short. I've tried rechargeable NI-MH cells rated 2200 mAh each. These did not last more than a day or two. The camera seems to drain them even when not in use. This happened with AA Lithium cells also. These fresh cells lasted 2 or 3 days and were then dead.
This camera has been around and has many reviews. This seems a common problem. I wonder if it is common to all digital cameras?
Aside from this the camera is easy to use. It does take a very good picture.
When I use the camera I turn off the image display, and there are no "dirty" contacts. I can not get over how it goes through batteries.
It is bad enough to make me miss my old SLR film camera. I wanted rechargable lithiums but they are limited and may not be much better. Oh well.

Pretty Good Camera
This camera does work pretty good. I had a 1GB sd card and it held tons of pictures. The pictures turn out good and the camera has a good flash. The only problem I've had is that the batteries don't last very long. It seemed to do fine for about a year but about 6 months ago I noticed I would put new batteries in and they would be dead by the end of the day sometimes even sooner. The instructions say that if you use the LCD when your taking the pictures instead of the viewfinder it uses up more of the battery but I don't use the LCD so I don't think it's that. If no one else has had this problem then it may just be my camera but in my opinion it's a lot cheaper and easier to just have a rechargeable camera then to be buying numerous batteries. Or just buy your own rechargeable batteries. Other then that, I've had no other problems. It's a great, easy-to-use, beginners camera.

Low price for a reason
If you have a limited budget this is a good camera, the batteries run out fast and if you don't mind pressing the shutter button and the picture finally snaps which seems like 2 seconds later-this is for you. I thought this lag time wouldn't be a big deal until I used it, it became a huge annoyance and a big drawback for enjoying using this camera.
