Kodak EasyShare Z650 review at dpreview
Posted by Steve on April 29th, 2006
A review of the Kodak EasyShare Z650 digital camera is available at dpreview. The Kodak EasyShare Z650 is a 6 megapixel ultra zoom camera, offering a 10x optical zoom lens and a 2 inch LCD display. Despite its low price, the EasyShare Z650 offers a variety of exposure options, including fully automatic and fully manual exposure settings, as well as a large number of pre-set scene modes.
The results of the review:
“Like its predecessor it’s actually a very nice camera, and an easy and (usually) enjoyable one to use, and the color is typical Kodak - rich, vivid and generally very accurate. It’s also very compact, has excellent photographic controls and is very easy to use. […]
Taken on its own the Z650 is a perfectly good camera, one capable of perfectly good results, and one that offers perfectly good value for money. Unfortunately perfectly good just isn’t enough in a market this competitive, and the Z650 suffers by comparison to some of its competitors, and because in attempting to ‘dumb down’ the feature set of the DX line Kodak cut too many important features without offering much in exchange. I’m sure it will sell well (Kodak is no small player in this market), and I’m sure those who buy it will be perfectly happy, but I would certainly look at the alternatives before handing over my money for the Z650.”
