I just got the 7590 yesterday. So far, I'm VERY impressed. I haven't
printed any pix yet, but
I'm sure they'll be fine. When dnld to pc, they're vibrant/beautiful pix.
Much better than
my Canon A20.
I love the zoom, the dock, the HUGE lcd, software is great. the Menus on
back are very user friendly, it holds
good, boxier, but good.
Hope this helps.
Mark

Maybe the main difference is batteries.

It recharges
It transfers just by pushing one button
and
YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOUR CAMERA IS!!!
Get the dock, you wont' be sorry.

My DX6440 came with the dock in the package, but it was several months
before I got around to hooking it up. The only really good thing about
it, over a card reader and charger (both of which I already had) is that
the camera is always ready to go with a fully charged battery. I still
do more transfers through the flash card reader than the dock because
the card reader is much faster.

Here in Australia they didn't sell the 6490 with the dock, and it's probably the
same situation for the 7590.

It is not a problem for me. I hardly ever need to charge the battery as I take
about 100 photos of my baby daughter every month but charge the battery every 2
months. I put the card in the card reader of my printer/scanner/fax machine to
transfer the photos, and I use Windows Explorer instead of Kodak EasyShare to
manage my photo collection.
