'As a still camera, the Kodak EasyShare Z950 shines, with impressive color quality, crisp images, and a powerful 10X optical zoom. '
'The Kodak EasyShare Z950 is sturdily built, packs a 12Mp sensor and shoehorns a 10x optical zoom into a body that will still fit into your pocket. '
'One of the neatest digital cameras on the market right now is the Kodak Easyshare Z950. '
'For me, the true test of a camera's quality lies in its ability to shoot low light, indoors, without flash, and still produce usable photos. I'm pleased to say that the Z950 does well in this area—far better than I expected.'
'the specs for this battery are surprisingly disappointing: it only gets 150 shots per charge.'
'The camera is quite capable of capturing good images, but "softness" may be an issue at times.'
'It enables the extended group portraits, wide-open landscapes and architectural studies that compacts have traditionally been so poor at capturing, with a minimum of distortion and virtually no purple fringing.'
'world's smallest ultra-wide-angle zoom digital camera'
'At ISO 400, the noise was rampant, making all but 4x6 prints unusable.'
'competitive with some of the higher-end compact cameras.'
'Once you get over ISO 100, the images were pretty noisy.'
'Not only has the company that once dominated amateur photography had to watch consumer electronics manufacturers muscle in on its turf, it's now losing yet more ground as photographers migrate to digital SLRs.'
'For the photographer looking to go beyond the basic, wanting manual creativity of the shot, and not seeking to dump $1000 plus into a digital SLR, the P850 is the ticket.'
'extremely accurate colors'
'I found it a bit difficult to follow a moving subject as the image on the LCD/EVF lagged behind what was happening in real time'
'Directly behind the shutter release are three small round buttons'
