Kodak C360 compare with CX7530

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I am looking for a camera for my wife. The Kodak CX7530 and the Canon
Powershot A520 are at the top of the list. She especially likes the
feel of the A520, but has not had any experience using either. Anyone
have an opinion?

The 2 things most important: super easy to use and good photos in
spite of less than optimal care in taking the photo. Next is
interfacing to the picbridge interface on the Cannon printer we have.

Now, the Kodak C360 looks very nice and looks like it is very easy to
hold. However, there are very few reviews. Is that because it is so
new? Anyone have any experience with this camera? Can anyone compare
with the other cameras mentioned?

I took my wife out to look at cameras and she picked the A520 over the
Kodak CX7530 on feel alone. She liked the Kodak C340 (again, because
of the feel of the slight handle-like bulge on the right) and I really
wanted to have her see the C360, but no one had it. It looks even more
stylish and has a real nice handle-like bulge that I think she would
like. I have to pull the trigger, but hate to order something we have
not seen face to face. I don't think it will be in the retail stores
soon from what I see. I looked at Steve's Digicam review (which he
just got done with) and he gives it very good marks.

My inclination is to go ahead and get the C360, but I would sure hate
to be wrong. Her birthday is next Monday, so I need to order now.

By the way. Another feature she would like is that it would drive
itself to Walgreens and order its own pictures.

Hi Egander,

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the share button lets you order pictures
in the camera. So, when you place the camera on the dock or connect it to
your computer, it will email specified images to those you select from your
incamera email list, print a different or the same selection of images (from
an online service or via your printer dock), or save the picture for use in
the Favorites feature. Nice!

Talk to you soon,

Greetings Egander,

Not to worry, Egander, you and she will love it. Great camera!!! Remember,
all good things come in small packages :-) Actually I think you will find
that the camera will do just about all that you might want and then some. I
found it to be very well designed and if I had your money, I would likely
get one for my girlfriend. Enjoy, and let me know if you think I can help
you.
