Product Description

Style: Camera Only

From the Manufacturer

The 6.1-megapixel Kodak EasyShare Z650 digital camera offers aspiring photographers exceptional performance and greater photographic control through its professional-quality Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 10x optical zoom lens, helping capture detail from afar and flattering portraits.

10x optical zoom gets you close to the action without compromising image quality.

As with the entire line of EasyShare Z-Series cameras, the Z650 delivers more advanced control when necessary and simplicity of operation for everyday situations. Although the new Z650 has an impressive resolution, it also demystifies the idea that megapixels are the only standard of measurement when buying digital cameras. By adding advanced features like 10x optical zoom and a live histogram, Kodak has raised the bar by providing photographers with the tools to create high-quality photos, enhancing their overall digital photography experience.

Exclusive Kodak Color Science Image Processing Chip
The exclusive Kodak Color Science image processing chip results in portraits with edge-to-edge sharpness and brightness, rich color, accurate skin tones, and highly accurate exposure.

The exclusive Kodak Color Science Image Processing Chip delivers superior image quality for pictures that come to life just the way you remember it.

A new high-speed digital processor chip, advanced algorithms, and hardware acceleration features let the Z650 make simultaneous, split-second decisions to produce rich, vibrant, true-to-life colors in almost any lighting situation.

Each time you click the shutter, the Kodak Color Science Chip performs an instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and adjust multiple factors that influence picture quality.

Scene light source is detected and adjustments are made to capture bright whites and true, vivid colors under difficult lighting conditions--fluorescent, tungsten, or daylight.

Scene content is analyzed for luminance, focal distance, subject matter orientation, and color to determine the correct exposure and capture the natural details, accurate flesh tones, and rich colors you see in your composition. View and share your pictures with brilliance and clarity

The 2.0-inch (5.0-centimeter) LCD and electronic viewfinder (EVF) let you arrange your subject and evaluate the details of your shot before you move on.

View your pictures right-side-up with auto picture rotation.

In review mode, quickly magnify up to 8x, fast scroll through pictures, or view multi up.

Good value when bought thru Amazon. The camera is very small, but full featured. Full auto still shots produce great photos, yet if you prefer, it allows aperture/shutter speed priority for more control. The buttons, switches and controls are placed where they are easy to find without looking and the on-screen display lets you see what you will get. I recommend this camera.

I just purchased the Kodak z650 and have taken a number of pictures. It's easy to use and learn all the functions. Before buying this camera I looked at a number of cameras. I picked this one because of cost, zoom, and mega pixels. I looked at the Kodak z740 which is being replaced by this model and for a few more dollars you can get this model which takes better quality pictures and has the histogram feature.

A read reviews and a number of people complained about having the zoom without image stabilization. Well, when I took pictures at full zoom, even using the digital zoom, the picture was shaky in the view finder but came out clear. The 10x zoom is very nice even without image stabilization.

The price of this camera for the features is incredible. That is why I picked this camera over others. Read the reviews. This camera gets good reviews, even from the professionals. For the price you won't go wrong.

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare Z650 6.1 MP Digital Camera with 10xOptical Zoom (Electronics)

I am very pleased with this camera. I bought it in hopes of replacing the Canon Sure shot that I had that took blurry pictures. This camera is the nicest digital camera I have seen. It is below a SLR digital, when in reality, it takes about the same kinds of photos as an SLR digital. If you are a professional photographer, you could do wonders with this camera and get awesome results. The LCD screen will show up fuzzy when viewing the image..BUT, once you take the photo, it comes out crystal clear. I am very much pleased with the performance of this camera. When I figure out how to work the image sharing on Amazon, I will show you some sample images from some of the modes the camera offers. I think anyone who buys this camera, and reads about all of the features and knows how to work it properly will love it. Like anything, you need to read instructions to see how it works, what does what, etc. From each mode I tried, this camera took a nice clear shot with amazing detail. Anyone who buys this camera will not be disapointed. It is a quality item. Also, very light weight and small. Great camera with a very affordable price.
