8 MP Digital camera

Strengths:

8 MP at very low price

Weaknesses:

Does not give error message when it cant read the card

Posted Jul 17, 2007 - Bought it for $129.00+tax. Good price for a 8MP camera with 5x optical zoom. So far, used indoor and few shots in low light sunset. Picture quality is pretty good. Only issue I faced was, that the camera was not saving pictures onto a 2GB SD card I formatted on a PC. Weird thing was the camera was not even giving me any error message. I snapped few picture and noticed the remaining was stuck at 799. I had to use the format card in the camera to fix this issue.

Kodak Z885

Strengths:

easy to use and good price

Weaknesses:

software must be used to load pictures from camera

Posted Jul 18, 2007 - It is very easy to use. intuitive menus and features. good color and auto adjustments. nice in-camera feature. relatively compact. The LCD screen has a relatively low resolution. Another thing I do not like is the software. It is very slow. Overall, it is a good camera at this price

Kodak Z885 Digital Camera

Strengths:

Fast startup, crisp image, large lcd, longer than average optical zoom (5X), and easy to use functions

Weaknesses:

2.5" lcd has lower than average resolution, camera a bit bulkier than the v600 v700 series fm kodak. hallow and flimpsy plastic case makes the product seem cheap.

Posted Jul 14, 2007 - I like the product features vs sales price ratio. This camera offers a lot of functions and features for it's asking price. The various shooting mode are easy to access and understand. The better than average zoom lens is a welcome plus. Not to mention the 8.1 mp ccd giving you lots of options when taking a picture. Personally i use the 5.0mp mode to save some spaces in the memory when i'm taking sports/ moving shots. If the object is not moving and i'm using a tripod, then i would choose the highest setting. Check it out, for the price this camera simply can't be beat.

Acceptable performance for the price

Strengths:

High MP count good for pictures that will be blown up to poster size. 5x optical zoom is higher than typical in point n shoot cams. Outstanding user interface.

Weaknesses:

Casing is particularly flimsy & cheap feeling. No viewfinder. High ISO rating seems inflated. LCD res is below average.

Posted Jul 15, 2007 - I bought this camera for one specific purpose: a cheap point n shoot that has a very high megapixel count for printing out poster-sized prints. It fulfills this function very well. It has the added bonuses of being extremely easy to use (others in my family can take good pics with it) & its 5x optical zoom is great for amateur wildlife photography when I don't feel like lugging an SLR w/ lens around. Otherwise, the camera's case is particularly flimsy feeling, its low-light picture taking capability is below average, & the LCD resolution is below average. No optical viewfinder is a pain in sunny conditions when the LCD screen is difficult to see. I'd only recommend this to people looking to be able to take high-res pictures and/or have 5x optical zoom in a relatively inexpensive camera - but it performs these tasks very well.

Nice camera at a good price

Strengths:

5x Zoom; Good performance without flash

Weaknesses:

Plastic body; No viewfinder; Lens stays extended when viewing photos

Posted Jul 21, 2007 - This is a very nice camera, especially with the 5x zoom capability. It takes much better photos and movies in low light than my old sony camera. The movies are VGA quality, and you can change the zoom during the recording of the movie. The plastic body makes it seem not to sound structurally, so I would be very careful with this not to drop it. Also when viewing photos in the LCD display, the lens stays extended, so be careful. It looks like it is not a camera to let little kids handle. Takes 2 AA batteries, so naturally you will want to use rechargeables and have some extras and a travel charger with you when you use it on vacation.

Kokak EasyShare Z885

Strengths:

5x optical zoom good pictures sd card

Weaknesses:

weight and size but this is probably due to the 5x optical zoom. No viewfinder.

Posted Jul 31, 2007 - I got this camera because my current Canon A540 takes too long between flash pictures. This camera can take pictures rapidly between flashes and so far had done a good job. The video also seems pretty good. The LCD screen is also pretty good, but I wish it also had a viewfinder like my Canon. I would recommend this camera and so far it has done everything well.

Great picture quality but weak power management

Strengths:

Great picture quality, especially for low light night scenes. Video recording is fantastic.

Weaknesses:

Use battery too fast

Posted Jul 21, 2007 - I had a Kodak c360 digital camera, and I love the picture quality of Kodak cameras. I purchased this one from Circuit City after searching its reviews on the web. I prefer its high ISO function so I could take nice picture during night. It has intelligent auto mode function, and all the buttons and functions can be operated easily without reading the user manual. The normal alkaline battery died quickly with 20-30 shots, and the camera heats up quickly. I switched to high power Ni-mh rechargeable batteries and the batteries can last about 200 shots.

Good Camera. Excellent price.

Strengths:

8 MP and 5X zoom at a good price.

Weaknesses:

No viewfinder, which makes it difficult to view from LCD during bright sunlight.

Posted Aug 1, 2007 - 8 MP and 5X zoom at a good price. No viewfinder, which makes it difficult to view from LCD during bright sunlight. Other than that this is an excellent camera.

Nice compact digital camera

Strengths:

5X optical Zoom with 2.5''LCD is great feature for a compact digital camera like that. Plus, the cost is afforadable.

Weaknesses:

LCD resolution is not high. Its performance under low light is not ideal. The shell could be more sturdy.

Posted Aug 15, 2007 - I bought this camera at $129.00+tax, very happy about its performance. The 5X optical zoom is a nice feature and works pretty well. I wish it could do better job in low light surroundings.

A good camera for a low price

Strengths:

5X zoom, High 8 megapixel resolution, low price and use normal AA battery

Weaknesses:

No viewfinder, LCD resolution is low and perform not very well in both low and high light situation

Posted Aug 29, 2007 - I bought this camera when it was on sale in circuit city, and I am pretty happy with it since I only pay about 130 dollars including tax for a 8 MP digital camera with 5X digital zoom. the pictures and videos taken by this camera are in good quality, and everything else seems in good except very few weakness, such as no viewfinder, and LCD works not very well in very bright sunlight and very low light situation. all in all, I rate this camera 4 star and highly recommend it

an affordable DC for daily using

Strengths:

price

Weaknesses:

size

Posted Oct 10, 2007 - I bought the Kodak z885 in a sale, so the price was one of the best advantages of the camera. For regular daily use, the resolution of the picture and the speed of generating a new picture are at an acceptable level. As digital cameras nowadays become more and more portable, the size of this one might be a little big to carry in pocket.

Cheap and Best - Kodak Z885

Strengths:

5x Zoom, Easy to use,User Friendly.

Weaknesses:

Low LCD resolution, poor case.

Posted Oct 30, 2007 - Nice camera with 5x optical zoom and very good price (Got it for $110). Performs very well in low light conditions, far better than SONY T series cameras. Re-chargable battery would have been an added benefit.

I love it !

Strengths:

Ease of use, love no view finder, nice big screen,excellent pictures

Weaknesses:

lens stays out when downloading pics and viewing pics, red eye feature is useless

Posted Feb 25, 2008 - This camera in my opinion is great! I think it is costructed well all the way around with the exception of the lens staying out when downloading and viewing pics. I have never known a camera that totaly eliminates red eye and this one is no exception. I didn't think I would like not having a view finder but I was wrong. It is so easy to use and takes the most beautiful pics. A bigger memory card is a must as with any camera. Regular batteries for digital cameras work very well if you can't afford a charger. You won't be sorry if you buy this camera. There is no camera in my opinion that is going to do everything you want but this sure comes close!

good camer at decent price

Strengths:

1 8M pixel 2 decent manual operation 3 composing frame is helpful 4 bracelet exposure is useful

Weaknesses:

1 high iso is a joke 2 no manual input with Image Stabilizer mode 3 Aperture is only available on 2.8,4.8 8.0

Posted Jul 14, 2007 - a good 8M camera which can print excellent resolution pictures of 14*11 inches with a price below $100. good for who occasionally use manual mode and mostly rely on smart scenes. over all. good for the price.

Excellent for the price

Strengths:

8M pixel, 5x optical zoom, easy operation

Weaknesses:

Software is very problematic.

Posted Jan 22, 2008 - This camera is a steal for about $120. One of the best things about this camera is that it powers up quickly and is ready to go. But the picture color and quality is not good. If it is not very bright, the picture will have lots of noise. Also, the EasyShare software is problematic. I can't get it installed. The best method I find is to use a card reader to transfer the photos from the memory card to computer, use microsoft digital imaging software to edit photos. and forget the EastShare CD all together. This camera is a battery monster, prepare some rechargeble batteries for it. Overall, this is a good camera for the price.
