New Point & Shoot Digital 8.1

[dtrarch]

Hardware heads up.

We needed a "vacation" camera as the Nikon SLR and lenses were really a pain to drag along for a fun event.

Surprise selection that beat everything I looked checking image quality using my own sd chip for review.

8.1 MP
2.5 inch screen w outside viewing boost.
(no optical viewer on this however)
iso to 8000
shutter 2000/ sec
5X zoom
5 frame burst + video
A really effective auto mode that really delivers what you see on the screen when printed out.
Full manual settings plus presets that include in-camera panorama stitching.
Very sharp output and delivers super results in very low light even without flash.
Compact and easy to one-hand shoot and a no brainer to get up to speed with and use.

The new Kodak (yeh Kodak) Z885
with street price of about $179 US.

A just super P&S and nothing else even
gets close for quality and value.

Check out the Kodak site for full specs.
*****5 stars for the Z885
