Its an old kodak dx7590 not to old maybe 3 or 4 years old. 5mp point and shoot type. It has a full auto mode or a manual mode. Not to bad, but its no DSLR Im thinking about getting the Nikon D80 or the D200. Im not sure ill need all that the D200 offers. I do like the D80 and its a bit cheaper, but I can always grow into the D200 I guess.
