"With the introduction of its new EASYSHARE DX7590 zoom digital camera, Kodak expands upon features that made the KODAK EASYSHARE DX6490 model one of the most popular cameras in its class during the past year. A unique combination of sophisticated features, exceptional performance, and trademark ease of use gives amateur photographers the opportunity to shoot like a professional. The camera will be available worldwide beginning this month for US$499 (MSRP), setting a new price-to-performance benchmark for high zoom consumer digital cameras."Looks like a fabulous mid-range camera. The specs provided in the news link are very impressive. I really need to upgrade from my Canon PowerShot A40. It takes excellent outdoor distance shots, but close-ups are lousy, which makes photographing products for review very difficult. :(
