Kodak EasyShare Z950
$250.00
Released July, 2009
The Pros:Ergonomics are good - comfortable to use, all buttons are accessible. 10x optical zoom is a plus, for this price range and relatively small form factor. Help menus and explanations are built into the camera software.
The Cons:Built-in speaker (for video playback) is very quiet. Image processor can really slow down when taking multiple shots in a row - fourth or fifth images will take several seconds to process. Default video mode is continuous focus, which causes blurring unless changed to manual.
The EasyShare Z950 is a higher-end consumer digital camera from Kodak. Advertised as offering 'pro-like' performance, the Z950 utilizes a Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon lens with 10x optical zoom, shooting at a resolution of up to 12 megapixels.

Optical, but not digital, image stabilization is included, minimizing the effect of camera shake. Kodak also builds in a 'Smart Capture' feature, which detects scene conditions and composition and adjusts camera settings accordingly. The Z950 also captures HD video at 30 fps, and features a 3" LCD display, but lacks a manual viewfinder. PASM modes allow the user to set aperture and shutter speed or allow the camera to set either, or both, automatically.
