'The vertical grip is light and performs no other function, but it also improves the horizontal grip, allowing my little finger to grip the front of the camera rather than curl up under the body.'
'poor high-ISO performance'
'Additional vertical shutter button'
'the Kodak EasyShare Z980 is surprisingly quick to focus.'
'Conclusion
The Kodak EasyShare M580 feels slightly tacky, and the interface is awful both to look at and use.'
'The Kodak Easyshare M580 is the new flagship camera of the beginner-friendly M series digital compact camera range. '
'Featuring a 14-Megapixel imaging sensor, 8x optical zoom lens, Image Stabilization, 720p HD video and Kodak EasyShare software, this is one of the easiest cameras on the market to shoot and share your images with. '
'In short, the consensus is that the Kodak EasyShare M580 can't quite compete with its rivals from Panasonic, Sony and Canon, such as the top-rated Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS (*Est. $180).'
'Coupled with a sleek design and a strong feature set with features like sharing and publishing tools, the Kodak Slice is a definite digital camera contender. '
'Its fast and intuitive picture taking features also improves the experience of using this camera. '
'Cons Patchy touchscreen interface.'
'Kodak's SLICE includes the company's face detection technology, capable of detecting up to five faces in a scene.'
'If we take issue it's that image-writing times are quite sluggish - the camera freezing for 5 seconds while a 14-megapixel JPEG file is being committed to SD card for example.'
'Purple/blue fringing around subjects in high-contrast areas is common to megazooms, but the Z981 produces above average amounts of it.'

'Purple/blue fringing around subjects in high-contrast areas is common to megazooms, but the Z981 produces above average amounts of it.'
'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 Kodak M893 IS offers a generous 19 scene modes to help beginners achieve the results they're looking for without the need to understand subtleties like shutter speeds, apertures and the like.'
'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'
