The Kodak Easyshare Z885 is an 8.1 megapixel point and shoot digital camera with a 5x optcial zoom lens. It also has a massive ISO range of up to 8000!
It will have a retail price of $199.95 when released in May.
Kodak describe the Easyshare Z885 in their promotional material as:
"The KODAK EASYSHARE Z885 Zoom Digital Camera boasts a 5X optical zoom lens and 8.1 megapixel resolution. When combined with high ISO (up to 8000), it tackles low-light environments and action situations with ease. The fast AF 5X optical zoom lens (36-180 mm equivalent) combined with 10 automatic smart scene modes makes it easy to get stunning shots every time. Available in May, the KODAK EASYSHARE Z885 Zoom Digital Camera will retail for US $199.95 (MSRP)."
Megapixel reviews the Kodak Easyshare Z885 and writes - 'In view of its manufacturer’s suggested retail price, the Kodak EasyShare Z885 is a camera that is destined to be at the top of anyone’s short list when considering the purchase of a camera with a longer than average zoom and a high resolution. While its monitor offers a comparatively low resolution, that drawback is quickly forgotten when the first photos captured with the camera are viewed. The colour rendition the camera yields is excellent and, as long as they are noise-free, images remain detailed after the compression process.'
ePhotozine review the Kodak Easyshare Z885 where they recommend - "The Z885 seems to underperform in some areas and perform well in others. The features are well balanced for the price so that the kind of person buying this camera will not be overwhelmed by it, the zoom is adequate for the price as is the resolution. However, the focus range is appalling in both auto and macro modes. the image stabiliser is only digital and the continuous shooting capability is rubbish. For the price, their are a lot of features but don't expect to be bowled over and the focusing may make picture taking a struggle at times."
Imaging Resource reviews the Kodak EasyShare Z885 and writes - "Dave liked the Kodak Z885, Luke said some nice things about it, Rob found it flustering, and I'm not really a fan. You break the tie. Consider the charming, simple design but the slow startup with a lens that protrudes an inch and a half. Factor in the High ISO mode that can get you to ISO 8,000 but the difficulty focusing in low light without an assist lamp. Take into account the Smart Scene modes, but don't forget you can't get very close in Macro mode. And don't discount the annoyance of the long write times. Printed results are good at 4x6 up to ISO 1,600, so it will do decent duty as a snapshot camera even at night if your subject's close enough. The Kodak Z885 is reasonably good for the money, but you might want to look around a bit for other bargain cameras that deliver a little more."
