From dpreview user review:
--------------------------

Well, I thought it about time I post some sort of review of my 7590.

These are just my opinions and though not an industry professional, I am by no means a novice either...this is my 10th digital camera, having used everything from Kodak to Olympus previously.

My most recent camera was an Olympus 5050 with a f1.8 lens which performed wonderfully in low light, but lacked a significant zoom.
OK, lets hit the hot points first.

EVF - It's a viewfinder for heavens sake! It gives a reasonable representation of the subject. Yes, it does have a slight yellow tint, yes, it kind of has a sepia wash in low light. To the detracrors who say that it doesn't review pictures as well as the LCD...D'OH...of course it doesn't..and why should it? I have to say that I rarely use the EVF, relying on the LCD. One last point - my EVF is very sharp, perhaps with a hint of softness at the very outer edges. But as I said at the start...it's a viewfinder!! No real issues with the EVF in my opinion.

LOW LIGHT FOCUS - Potentially problematic. I'm not going to lie, I'm not thrilled with the low-light performance of this camera. Now maybe that's because I was spoiled by my Olympus, but this just falls short of what I was expecting...especially as Kodak heralded the low-light capability as one of the improvements over the 6490. The biggest problem, as I see it, is the inability to use the zoom and flash together. By this I mean that the camera has trouble focusing if you use the zoom indoors with flash. The worst thing I have experienced here is that the camera erroneously advises that is has focus lock..when the results patently display that this is not the case. If you don't use the zoom or don't use it much, then the results are what I would expect from a camera without a low-light AF assist lamp. The 7590 relies on contrast detection, which obviously diminishes significantly as brightness drops!
Ok, so that's the hot points out of the way, what about the rest.

Well, ergonomically, the camera is a dream, the controls are well laid out and easy to use. Certain common features like macro, landscape and bracketing have been given their own buttons.
The LCD is great, large and clear and I am very impressed with this.

The 10x zoom is an absolute godsend and I'm beginning to wonder how I ever lived without one! Not since my SLR superzoom days have I had as much creative ability at my fingertips (Now I just have to learn how to use it!!) It zooms quickly and quietly and with sufficient light focuses accurately and speedily.

Colour rendition - Well, what can I say..it's superb. To those who are saying "well, the reds look under/over exposed"..Have a go of some other cameras and then compare colours. The Kodak is better or equal to cameras way above it's price band. One of the biggest strengths of the camera.

Menus - A real surprise here. I was sort of expecting them to be a little clunky, but kudos to Kodak, the menus were obviously designed by camera users. Very user friendly and intuitive.

Usability - This is a great camera giving you abilities over and above what you would expect from a camera this price. There are a couple of niggles - Having to reset the date and time every time I remove the battery to charge it, having to scroll through the menus to change the focus options..things like that, but overall a great camera to use.

I have never experienced the "Busy Processing" message that I saw reported here and I performed a test where I shot 10 pictures on best quality one after the other with no lag at all!.

Conclusion - This is a great camera!! Is it faultless? - No. Is any camera? - I doubt it. Is it worth the money? - Absolutely.

The DX7590 is a reasonably priced camera that punches above it's weight. It is not a DSLR, so don't compare it to one. If you are going to draw comparisons, compare apples with apples and look for a similarly fuctional camera in this price band.

I'm sure that I have missed loads of things out that people want to know and if you've got any questions, ask away and I'll answer them if I can.
Hope this mini review is useful.

As the proof of the pudding is in the eating, you can find some of my 7590 shots at Photobucket (a service incidentally, I'm really not impressed with!)

今日行過鐳射門口玩過部7590， 好似好正咁， 反應都算快。係d製(好似包圍曝光鍵)細粒咗d， 好難按。 $37xx，買得過嗎﹖

[Tsun~~]

我聽日應該會出旺角行下,隨便試下機!!

[火焰BaSaRa]

昨日去左旺角行, 試左部DX7590一陣, 剛剛有promote買左張kingmax 512mb 60x sd card, 插入去部DX6490試影左幾張, 遲d post 比大家睇下..., 部幾正如futo所講都幾快, 對焦快過DX6490好多, 比DX6490順好多, 不過丟覺得部機d color冇DX6490咁靚.

[futo]

火焰BaSaRa, 多謝你身先士卒。 好心急想看samples。 我對kodak 的室外和夜景拍攝都信心十足， 但反而有d怕佢室內唔得。唔知我的impression是否正確﹖

[火焰BaSaRa]

唔好意思, 我所講既color係指部相機既機身color...我怕悟道人地以為我講d相既color :P

[Tsun~~]

今日唔得閒無出去試機
不過幸好有火焰BaSaRa兄試左!!

1. Very high-resolution (311K pixels) electronic viewfinder with dioptric adjustment 真係好清晰~
2. 反應及快門時滯比DX6490快好多~
3. 半按快門對焦比DX6490快和準確好多~
4. 快門鍵好好禁~ 按快門鍵時唔會咁易震機~
5. 整體機能比DX6490快和順暢~
6. 機身比DX6490重, 手感更好冇咁容易手震~
