'The P880 was designed to combine the sophisticated performance options and advanced creative capabilities of a dSLR with Kodak's signature user-friendly philosophy and legendary operational simplicity.'
'The EasyShare P880 is a fairly large camera that looks more at home with D-SLRs than fixed-lens cameras.'
'on paper - looks like a very compelling mix of features'
'There was no pincushion distortion visible at the telephoto end of the zoom'
'The Sony Cyber-shot Pro DSC-V3 is a solid, full-featured digital camera with a Zeiss f/2.8-to-f/5.4 34- to 136-mm (35 mm equivalent) 4X optical zoom lens and Sony 's exclusive NightShot mode for viewing and shooting in total darkness.'
'it's a great choice.'
'Do note that it's not camera-specific:
complete, but cluttered, complex, and poorly-organized.'
'You have to go through the shooting menu, which is annoyingly oversized and has a hard to follow layout.'
'Both the shutter release and the refresh rate on the LCD screen are disappointing - and, surprisingly, the extra megapixel doesn't seem to add any extra sharpness at all.'
'The downside of proprietary batteries like the BP-511 is the cost ($50) and the fact that you can't use standard batteries (as you can with AA-based cameras) if you're in a bind.'
'the 32MB CompactFlash card seems stingy ??? fortunately, there's support for Microdrives too.'
