DCRP Review: Kodak EasyShare P850
Digital Camera Resource Page
The EasyShare P850 is one of two cameras in Kodak’s new Performance series of digital cameras. The P850 (reviewed here) features a 12X stabilized zoom lens, while its sibling the P880 (review to come) features a 24 mm wide-angle lens. The P850 is Kodak’s first ultra zoom with image stabilization, a feature which is becoming more and more popular in the ultra zoom category. Other features include a 5 Megapixel CCD, full manual controls, large 2.5″ LCD, hot shoe, and VGA movie mode. The ultra zoom category is one of the most competitive out there, so Kodak has its work cut out for them. How does the P850 compare to the best cameras in this class?
