5.0 out of 5 stars AN EXCELLENT CAMERA FOR THE PRICE, March 21, 2009

This review is from: Z1485 PINK 14MPIX DIGTLCAM 5X OP IS (Electronics)

Kodak calls this camera 14 mega pixels but it is actually 14.2+ mega pixels. Some less scrupulous manufacturers would call it 14.75 mega pixels because of the CCD used, not the actual image area. I bought this camera to replace my Kodak Z1285 12 mega pixel camera, mainly because Kodak eliminated just about every complaint that I had about the Z1285 with the Z1485. These two cameras look similar and seem to use the same 5x optical "zoom" lens, although the lens has different names on the two cameras. 5x "zoom" is about as far as you want to go on a camera that doesn't have a true zoom lens and still have a lens of acceptable overall quality (a true zoom lens maintains the same aperature throughout the zoom range instead of increasing the aperature number as the lens "zooms" {in general, the higher the maximum [smallest number] aperature is the less desireable the lens is}). I have bought wide angle/"macro" and teleconverter magnetic mount lens through Amazon.com for the Z1485 but they do not work well. I don't at all understand why the Kodak Z1485 is selling for so much less than Nikon, Pentax, Canon, Olympus, Sony Camera Division (formerly Minolta) and other cameras that seem to be either no better than it or inferior to it. The Z1485 does need a much better tripod socket, though. Advanced users will want to download the Z1485 Extended Users Manual from Kodak.com - other users don't need it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Camera, February 25, 2009

This review is from: Z1485 PINK 14MPIX DIGTLCAM 5X OP IS (Electronics)

The past year, I have been searching for the perfect camera and I can finally say that I am done buying and returning cameras. I have purchased so many digital cameras and gave them to my daughter if I wasn't able to return or sell them. I love all the features on this high tech camera and it meets all my needs. I don't have to be an expert on taking pictures, because the camera does everything for you with the smart capture features and it automatically detects the right lighting mode for you. I also love all the extra features that come on this camera. I won't be buying another camera for a long time. The pictures are very nice. The only complaint that I have about this camera is that it is very bulky and I wish that it was one of the slimmer models, because I like to carry my camera every where I go and it's always in my purse, but other than that, I am very satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars I could not be happier with this camera., August 6, 2009

This review is from: Z1485 PINK 14MPIX DIGTLCAM 5X OP IS (Electronics)

This camera was WAY more than I expected. I read the negative comments about the bulkiness and the battery drain. I almost did not buy this camera because of this. I want to let all of you know that you will NOT be disappointed in this camera. The pictures look like they were taken by a professional. I bought the battery charger and never even used it on our trip. We took about 150 photos and made three short videos before the battery low symbol even popped up. One thing I did like about the camera is the auto power off to save your battery. I read that it was bulky and would not fit in someone's purse. If you carry a wallet sized purse, then you may have a problem. My husband kept it in a fannie pack with sun screen, bug spray, passports, keys, etc, and still had plenty of room. The base of the camera is the size of a pack of cigarettes and the handgrip and lens stick out about 1/4" further. It is not big at all. The color is so pretty too! This is the most bang for your buck and you will be very pleased with it. I LOVE MY EASYSHARE!
