Kodak Easyshare P880 8 MP Digital Camera with 5.8x Wide Angle Optical Zoom

Kodak Easyshare P880 8 MP Digital Camera with 5.8x Wide Angle Optical Zoom by Kodak $102.00 At Amazon on 3-20-2012.

8-megapixel digital camera captures enough detail for photo-quality 16 x 22-inch prints 5.8x optical zoom; 2.5-inch high-resolution LCD display New RAW file support, with JPEG and TIFF capture; RAW editing with Kodak EasyShare software v5.1 included Includes high-resolution electronic viewfinder and hot shoe flash connector and PC flash sync built-in flash also included Powered by Lithium-ion battery battery and charger included From the Manufacturer The innovative Kodak EasyShare P880 zoom digital camera brings in-demand Kodak technologies and features to serious photographers, setting a new price-to-performance benchmark. It provides more expansive picture-taking capability with a 24-140mm (35mm equivalent) wide-angle, f2.8-f4.1, professional-quality Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon zoom lens. The 24mm wide angle setting is ideal for landscape photography, allowing a person to get closer to subjects, while contributing to greater sense of place by "pulling in" foreground objects with greater depth of field. It's also ideal for interior photography, where barriers such as walls typically make it difficult to get all desired subjects into a shot. Creative photographers can also shoot with this wide perspective for unique portraiture, or to capture a greater scenic expanse for later cropping. The Kodak EasyShare P880 allows you to optically zoom up to 140mm (5.8x) With the same integrated lens, users can also optically zoom up to 140mm (5.8x) using the manual zoom ring for precise framing. Achieve accurate focusing, even in low light conditions, with the selectable 25-point, advanced, hybrid autofocus system or via the manual focus ring. Experience enhanced, flexible lighting control via the hot shoe flash connector, and use the PC sync port for off-camera flash options. The P880 model offers the freedom to select multiple shooting modes, including program, aperture and shutter priorities, fully manual, and custom modes. For rapid camera adjustments, dial-in multiple pre-set scene modes or switch to automatic mode. Video takes on a new dimension with the EasyShare P880 camera--a function not available in DSLRs. Capture VGA video at 30 frames per second (motion JPEG compression) with the unique ability to use full optical zoom, then trim, cut, splice and merge clips on the camera. Even extract individual video frames as JPEGs at 640 x 480 resolution--presenting an ultra-high-speed alternative to the camera's multiple burst modes (first/last/time lapse burst)--which can then be shared and printed up to 4 x 6 inches. Compatible with all EasyShare printer, camera docks. For the first time, Kodak has added RAW file support to its EasyShare camera line to enable more post-capture flexibility for enthusiasts. These files allow for in-camera JPEG and TIFF extraction, as well as RAW editing within new Kodak EasyShare software v5.1. The new Kodak RAW format uniquely embeds a dynamic JPEG within the file, permitting rapid RAW file viewing and organization in the software, without requiring RAW conversion. Additional highlights include a live histogram with highlight and shadow clipping for immediate on-camera exposure assessment; a 2.5-inch, high-resolution LCD; a 237,000 pixel electronic viewfinder with diopter; a high-capacity lithium-ion battery; shutter speeds ranging from 16 seconds to 1/4000 second, plus a bulb setting, one-push custom white balance, digital red-eye reduction, and a manually raised pop-up flash. At a weight of only 19.6 ounces (556 grams), including battery and SD card, with a compact body (4.6W x 3.8H x 3.6D inches), including lens, the camera is highly portable while providing an excellent in-hand fit and feel. As with all EasyShare cameras, the P880 model is compatible with Kodak EasyShare printer docks and camera docks, the IMAGELINK print system, and PictBridge technology for direct photo output without a computer.

The 8 megapixels, RAW, Manual Zoom and Focus rings. I've been using this camera for the past two to three months and I have to say it's one heck of a camera. This camera is read to go almost as soon as you turn it on because it's manual zoom there's no need for the camera to run a check on the zoom motor. That check delays the readiness of most zoom cameras. It has multiple scene modes and the PASM manual modes plus three C (custom modes) in which you can save your favorite settings. It also has an improved video mode. This camera even has a "Bulb" mode (this is where you can set how long the shutter stays open by holding the shutter button up to 60 secs, helpful when the 16 maximum programmed shutter opening isn't long enough). It has a hotshoe for an external flash gun (P20 Zoom Flash) which gives you more flexibility and power when the ambient light and the onboard flash isn't good enough. Kodak has placed buttons on the back and top of the camera that control the most of the main functions of the camera with out having to bring up the main menu and search for them, they are White Balance, ISO, Metering, Flash, Focus, and Digital Zoom. This camera has so many options that I could spend the next hour writing about them. I really recommend going to the Kodak website and checking out the specs.Let's get to the most important feature of this machine...the pictures. The quality is very good, the lens captures a lot of detail and is really sharp. My wife and I just had our second child, I brought the camera to the hospital and took some pictures of out newborn, some color and some black & white, they came out so well that we didn't order the usual hospital photos. The results were so good that when visitors come to our home they find it hard to believe that the photos were not professionally done. I've also taken landscapes and macros with this camera and I must say I have not been disappointed yet.Now for the bad news... The auto focus sometimes hunts in low light and low contrast situations which is not really a major problem because you can just turn the manual focus ring and adjust it until you're satisfied. There's a lot of noise over ISO 200 (can be corrected with a good noise reduction program i.e. Noise Ninja) and you only have ISO 800 and 1600 at 0.8 megs setting, which is really only good for the web. Slow write times for RAW and Tiff modes and the camera is pretty much inoperable while the camera writes to the memory card. No burst mode when shooting RAW and Tiff modes.All in all this is one of the best cameras out now. It's really a flexible piece of equipment and a very capable backup for DSLR users that have tired of carrying all the extra equipment that goes with owning a DSLR. It is also a very good camera for those not quite ready to make the jump to a DSLR but find they are ready to spread their photographic wings. I recommend it wholeheartedly. Check out the customer images (most of them are mine), very little or no post processing...judge for yourself!****EDIT**** Kodak has recently released a firmware upgrade for this camera that decreases shutter lag, improves the auto focus and exposure and adds a pixel remapping program to remove any malfunctioning pixels on the sensor. I upgraded mine and I highly recommend anyone that owns this camera to do the same. It makes a world of difference in its operation.
