'The 10-megapixel Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS is deceptively good.'
'you've got a product that has the potential, at least, to go toe-to-toe with the heavyweight contenders in the enthusiast compact arena'
'Focusing times were generally good, except in low light, where the Z1085 struggled considerably (it really needs an AF-assist lamp).'
'The Z1085 IS determines exposures with a multi-pattern, center-weighted, or center spot TTL metering system, and offers 2.0EV of exposure compensation in 1/3EV increments.'
'Five years ago, this 6-megapixel shooter might have barely passed muster, but today it's simply unacceptable'
'Thick, heavy gadgets fit poorly into pockets, feel uncomfortable to carry around, and simply aren't sexy.'
'efforts at panoramas when holding the camera by hand (no tripod) produced poor results'
'The camera's sadly deficient Movie mode feels like another relic of the past; while most inexpensive digital cameras offer 30fps VGA movies, the C653 can only shoot at 10 frames per second, rendering video jerky and ugly'
'Kodak Z710 intuitive enough for beginners and sophisticated enough for digital photography enthusiasts, the Kodak Z710 camera provides point-and-shoot simplicity with advanced features to easily get professional-looking results.'
'The most annoying thing about the Z710's design is that the flash pops up every time you turn the camera on.'
'there's no image stabilisation on offer here - a painful lack on such a light camera.'
'Intuitive enough for beginners and sophisticated enough for digital photography enthusiasts'
