This review is from: Kodak Z1085 10.0MP Digital Camera (Black) (Electronics)

This camera is a relatively new entry, so there are not many reviews out there. I bought it based largely upon the hype of it's low noise high ISO performance - and I'm glad I did. The camera's large sensor (.61") and superb image processor allow low-noise photos up to about ISO 1250. And the optical image stabilizer works very well in both single and continuous modes. Another selling point is the fact that you have three battery choices. A non-rechargeable CRV3 lithium, a rechargeable DLK-8000, or two non-rechargeable AA batteries. The camera comes with the CRV3 only (the reason I deducted one star). The CRV3 seems to last forever, but it ain't cheap. I picked up a Lenmar DLK-8000 and charger for $40 and will use the CRV3 as a backup. The menu system is so intuitive, I have yet to read the user guide. And for the first time ever I actually use the scene modes, since there are clear on-screen explanations of each icon's meaning and its function. Other things I love about this camera: face detection, very intuitive program and manual modes, automatic in camera red eye reduction, 720p HD video mode, wide screen capture mode, sound tag recording capability, in camera cropping and slide show/multimedia sideshow playback capability. All at a great price point. I love this camera. I think you will too.

This review is from: Kodak Z1085 10.0MP Digital Camera (Black) (Electronics)

After reading several mixed reviews, I was a little reluctant about purchasing this camera. So far, I have been extremely impressed with it. Pictures come out great even in low lighting thanks to the strong flash and high ISO. The panorama stitch mode is a really cool feature. It works best with a tripod but even without one, it still works well. The macro mode has some issues focusing if you are too close but with 10 megapixels, you can just back away a few inches and crop the photo. For the price, you get great performance and a lot of great features (high ISO, HD video, 5x zoom, panorama, etc...) in a very easy to use camera. Highly recommended!

This review is from: Kodak Z1085 10.0MP Digital Camera (Black) (Electronics)

I have the big brother (Z712 IS)to this camera and wanted something smaller that would be easier to carry around. My kids have one of the smaller versions of the kodak and I wasn't crazy about it. It was slow to start-up and the pics weren't very good. I deceided to give this camera a try and love it. The HD pics are crispy clear and it starts up very fast. The only problem I have found so far is the lense cover sometimes gets stuck and wont close. The battery has lasted a long time. I am very happy with it.
