Kodak EasyShare Z885 Review
The Kodak EasyShare Z885 strikes the right balance between features and price. Featuring an 8-megapixel lens, the camera comes with a number of good features and can be had for around $200. However, on the minus side the Z885 isn’t that pleasing aesthetically.
The Kodak EasyShare Z885 is designed for the practical-minded photographer. The camera measures 1.2-inches in thickness and weighs 7.3 ounces. The controls are very simple. The mode dial on top of the camera and a large square navigation button on the back control all the operations.
The Z885 can make beautiful images, especially at lower ISOs, but we did see some image artifacts which make some diagonal and / or curved lines look jagged. In addition, the lens of the sample was slightly out of alignment, making the lower left corner, a little weaker than the rest of the plot.
The Good: Lots of manual controls; fast burst mode.
The Bad: Sluggish; noise issues at ISO 800 and above.
The Bottom Line: While it suffers at higher ISO sensitivity settings, the Kodak EasyShare Z885 is a surprisingly flexible, affordable camera.
