A Kodak digital camera:EasyShare Z915 Digital Camera

Published on August 18 2011 by electricproductsview

Become a better photographer with a smarter camera. The KODAK EASYSHARE Z915 Digital Camera has an extended zoom so you can get closer to those far away shots. And, with Kodak’s innovative Smart Capture feature, camera settings are adjusted to deliver beautiful pictures, automatically. The Z915 is compact, not complex, so you can take incredible pictures at an incredible price.

The Z915 gives you as much or as little control as you want over shooting, making it a good candidate for those wanting to step away from fully automatic snapshots or if there are many different user types under one roof. Except for white balance, you get full manual control as well as shutter speed and aperture-priority modes. (Note, though, the shutter speeds are only from 16 to 1/1000 of a second and three apertures at each of the wide and telephoto lens positions.) You also get exposure bracketing, color effects, and sharpness adjustments. Of course, you can use the Z915 as a standard point-and-shoot camera too, thanks to 17 scene modes and Kodak's Smart Capture mode that combines its Intelligent scene detection, Intelligent capture control, and Intelligent image processing. It's a reliable mode if you don't trust yourself--or others--to get a good shot.

Typically, megazoom cameras--especially lower-cost models--are slow performers, but the Z915 is surprisingly quick. Start-up to first shot is very good at 1.7 seconds. Time between shots is a fast 1.1 seconds and adding the flash only tacks on another second. Shutter lag in bright lighting conditions is excellent for its class at 0.4 second and only goes up to 0.6 in dim conditions. The Z915 has a three-shot burst mode, too, and it's capable of 1.6 frames per second. One thing worth noting, though, is the AF performance that was noticeably slow. This was particularly true in dim lighting where it would frequently take a couple tries to get the subject right.
