The Digimax 530 is a 5.0 megapixel digital camera that is big on quality and small on price. A quality 5-megapixel auto focus digital camera with 3x optical and 4x digital zoom, the new Digimax 530 allows even the casual snap shooter to experience everything the 5-megapixel world has to offer without breaking the bank. The Digimax 530 is an incredible value. Its 1/1.8" CCD captures razor sharp images, and the 1.5" TFT LCD with multiple language support is ideal for image preview and review.

The Digimax 530 offers many of the same state-of-the-art technologies found in higher priced 5-megapixel cameras, including multiple flash modes, adjustable white balance and selectable ISO sensitivity (100, 200, 400 and Auto). The camera's super macro mode allows users to capture crystal clear images of subjects as close as 6cm from the lens. Digimax 530 users can capture both still images and movie clips with audio, and the bundled USB and user selectable NSTC/PAL connectors allow for high-speed transfer to a PC.

The Digimax 530 has 32MB of internal memory and also has a built in slot for up to 256MB of external SD/MMC memory. The Digimax 530 supports 8 different power sources in AA Alkaline, Ni-MH, CR-V3 Lithium, Digimax I-Pack, Ni-Cd, 2 x Ni-Zn, 2 x Ni-Mn and optional AC adapter. With TTL Auto Focus, Programmed AE and Metering exposure controls, Normal and Night scene modes, and Single and Continuous shooting, the Digimax 530 screams value as it's packaged with features that would normally draw a higher price-tag in other 5 megapixel digital cameras.

    Great camera with lots of features for the price.

    Pros: Best flexibility in the 5MP compact category. Easy to use for the beginner to the pro. Great image quality.

    Cons: Battery hog! Manual features can be overwhelming to a beginner without reading manual.

    I was looking for a 5MP digital with wide flexibility in photo selection. I wanted something that had a good choice of manual modes and being easy to use for the novice "shutterbug" as well. I knew a little about photography before I bought... my camera so I knew what I was looking for and wasn't going to allow any showroom salesmen to sway me from my course. I wanted to stay under $300 with some specific features in mind. I wanted the highest resolution I could find along with manual shutter speeds and manual aperture settings. I wanted white balance flexibility and a wide array of flash combinations such as red eye, fill flash, etc. Zoom capabilities weren't all that important, but this offers a very nice 3X optical zoom and a 4X digital zoom for those EXTREME closeups. With the camera set to "full auto", it's as easy as any camera to point and shoot and will return wonderful quality snapshots. I like the near portrait ability with all the manual settings and high resolution that borders some lower end SLR digitals without the bulk. With the plethora of functions available, you have to read the manual to understand how to use this camera to its designed capabilities. I would also STRONGLY suggest you invest in two lithium CR-V3 rechargeable batteries and a charger because this camera eats AA akalines like Rosie O'Donnell at a free buffet! I also purchased a 512MB SD memory card for $50.00 from Ebay which expands the storage capabilities of the camera to almost immeasurable proportions. With medium quality settings, the SD card will store over 2700 images, or will record over 20 minutes worth of AVI video with audio. I highly recommend this camera if you're looking for a lot of choices for very little money. You can buy better cameras, but they'll cost you considerably more than $250.00 and won't necessarily be any easier or more flexible to use. Read more Less

    Pros: Excellent value, great feature set

    Cons: Slow shutter, will drain alkalines

    Was looking to get the highest resolution at the best price I could find. Saw a banner ad !?!(hope no marketing guys see this :)) featuring the 530 and clicked on it...thought it was too good to be true, searched for reviews, found good balance of c...omments on the previous generation, and a sale on it at Sears of all places! Purchased the cam, tripod, 512MB SD card, and extended warranty(still was not comfortable with samsung quality, but it has been improving), for about $245, the starting point for most in the 5MP range! Print and digital quality has been excellent, I will never go back to film! As stated the shutter is slow, but that's not a problem for the "snapshot" photogs this camera is marketed to. I had been away from serious photography for a while, and bought this camera to ease myself back in...it's manual setting are just varied enough to alow me creative range without being overwelming, and when I just want to take a quick shot of the kids, full auto. Regarding the battery issue: yes, it will drain alkalines quickly, but that's only to be expected; I have had good experience with Ni-MH, but the best life comes from CR-V3 Lithiums. I have quite a few functions in the coming months, and I plan to order the AC pack, as a convenience. In closing, I have to say that this model is a sleeper, and an excellent choice for the person looking to basically take shots of the family and friends, and occasionally something more adventurous.
