Digital Camera Info have tested the Kodak EasyShare P850, a DSLR like camera with a 12 time optical zoom as well as full manual controls.

The test results:
“The 5.1-megapixel Kodak EasyShare P850 has a large cushy viewfinder with resolution that is better than most of its competitors. Its stabilization system keeps video looking smooth even when utilizing the long lens while recording. There are lots of movie editing features that allow users to save only what they want. The list of great features coupled with the low $299 price tag does sound very inviting. But are you buying the specs or the pictures that will come from the camera? If beautiful pictures are desired, pass up this model. There is noticeable shutter lag and the built-in flash casts an eerily uneven light that is reminiscent of the Blair Witch Project’s now infamous cover shot. Overall, the P850 can take decent pictures in bright light but its indoor shots are just as scary and amateur looking as the Blair Witch’s cover art.”
