Kodak EasyShare Z885 8.1MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom



From Kodak

Stunning pictures start with smart features, which is what you'll find in the Kodak EasyShare Z885. The 5X optical zoom lens captures crisp details and gets you closer to your subjects without losing picture quality. Kodak Perfect Touch technology makes your pictures as vivid as the moment you took them, right on the camera. It clears up dark shadows to reveal more smiles, and allows you to print better, brighter pictures. Faster shutter speeds mean you can capture details in low light conditions and fast action situations. The camera automatically selects from ISO 80 to ISO 3200 based on lighting conditions. The 8.1 MP sensors deliver excellent resolution for prints up to 3040 inches (76102 cm) ?you can crop your pictures and still get stunning quality. Capture natural details, accurate flesh tones, and breathtaking color with KODAK Color Science. Plus, the Z885 is part of the KODAK EASYSHARE System, so sharing your pictures is amazingly simple. Digital image stabilization reduces blur cause by normal hand movements LCD - 2.5 in.

Camera works very well, pictures are of very good quality at 8 megapixels. One drawback is that when you remove the batteries for charging, it loses the date and has to be reset. Supposededly, a docking station (extra charge) eliminates the need to remove batteries. Also, there is no "Easy Share" if you are running older operating systems, like my Millenium Edition. Guess I now need a new computer to print or email my pictures. I suppose Walmart could at least do printing.


Bought the Kodak Z885 for my daughter. She has been interested in digital photography since using my Kodak D7630 camera. The camera is a birthday gift that was recieved with great enthusiasm. We both like the 5x optical zoom and easy operational steps. We were able to go through the features on the camera without a problem and are pleasantly impressed with the clearity of captured images.
