'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.'
'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'
'The V550 not only looks good, it is a genuinely capable digital camera that produces consistently super images by providing users with a well thought out array of easy to access picture perfecting tweaks and adjustments.'
'the KODAK EASYSHARE V550 digital camera is perfect for nearly every social occasion.'
'it is an attractive product with the features most people are interested in.'
'Image noise remained at bay at lower ISO settings but got very nasty at ISO 800, rendering images generally unusable.'
