Kodak EasyShare Z980
By Svend (reevoo.com) Read the full review
Nice price, Easy to use, Lots of build-in programmes ; 12MP feels almost like heaven, my old camera is 4.1MP
Battery stand time too short, for holiday use with the camera turned on for long periods you must have 2 - 3 sets of batteries. Impossible to get Kodak cameras and accessories in Denmark

Kodak EasyShare Z980 review
By Danny Palmerlee (pcadvisor.co.uk)
As manufacturers produce more megazoom cameras with similarly astounding capabilities (the 26mm-to-624mm-equivalent lens that's now de rigueur comes to mind), pinpointing the features that make a camera unique becomes more difficult. For the Kodak...
If you don't mind the additional weight and size, and you can overlook the slight shortcomings in imaging, the Kodak EasyShare Z980 is a solid buy. Its speed makes it a winner of a camera, even if Kodak isn't as sexy as other brands.

Kodak EasyShare Z980 review
By Joshua Goldman (cnet.co.uk)
The Kodak EasyShare Z980 has plenty to offer, including a wideangle 24x zoom lens, but you'll have to overlook its clunky design and noisy photos
Good, vibrant colour ; Loads of shooting options and manual controls ; Hot shoe for add-on flash
Clunky design ; Noisy photos
Also, other than macro shots, photos tend to be fairly soft. The Z980 handles colour well, however -- it's pleasingly vibrant. Exposure is very good, too, as is white balance. Even auto white balance is decent, avoiding the overly yellow results you...

Kodak Easy Share Z980
By paul_smart (gadgetspeak.com)
Kodak sells a lot of cameras and I get asked why do I not review more of them? Well here is one I was recently sent that has amazing zoom capabilities and it looks like a quality unit around the size of a DSLR.
This is the Kodak Z980 camera and it measures 12x8.5x10.5cm, the last figure the width can vary substantially when in use as the zoom lens moves out between 2 and 6cm when the camera is switched on. It runs on four rechargeable ‘AA’ batteries and they...
The weight with supplied neck strap attached is 540grams.

Long and wide is the order of the day here, with a 24x zoom and a 26mm equivalent wide angle
Kodak is certainly offering a lot of tech for your cash, but there are flaws. Hopefully, this will be rectified with the next incarnation

The Kodak Easyshare Z980 is an advanced ultra zoom camera with a 12 megapixel sensor, a wide angle 24x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation, face detection, and a large 3inch screen.

The Kodak Easyshare Z980 has quite a few quirks and peculiarities, for example, it provides full manual controls, plus RAW support, but no manual white balance! The video mode is great on paper letting you use the optical zoom and record in 720p HD,...
The camera has another rare feature, the vertical shutter release, however this is made more awkward to use than necessary by having a manual switch to select which shutter is in use. Despite all of this, I actually found the camera quite enjoyable to...

Kodak - EasyShare Z980

As with most digital products, Kodak's Z-series of budget super-zoom cameras has gone through considerable improvements in a short period of time. If you think back to the highly regarded, glossy silver Z650 of three years ...
For a surprisingly lightweight ‘bridge' camera, Kodak's new headlining Z980 has strikingly easy controls, a terrific new 24x optical zoom and a helpful second shutter system for use with portrait photography. It's also worth shopping around when...
