Kodak EasyShare M530

If you want to do it right, photography is undeniably an art form. If you're really talented you would go for an SLR professional camera where you get to control your shutter speeds, interchange your lenses, adjust your exposure levels with the help of light metering and such the like to get a perfect picture every time. For people like me, i.e. a layperson that doesn't know their aperture from their elbow, a simple point and shoot model should suffice - no need for any of this fancy stuff that'll get you an international photography award - I wouldn't be able to cope with the fame anyway ... more

When the camera arrived I was quite surprised by its size. I’ve got a Kodak Z730 4.2 MB camera (which I love) and it’s twice as heavy! However, being small doesn’t take away any of the options – if anything there are more now. It’s excellent at picking up light and colour in low-lit areas, meaning that you don’t need the flash all the time.
