Compact Camera Group Test: Travel Zooms

The so-called 'Travel Zoom' category hasn't been around long - in fact the first camera that could really lay claim to the label was the Panasonic TZ1, released in 2006. The idea of a wide zoom lens in a genuinely compact form factor (as opposed to a...

As you can imagine, a test of this scope, of so many cameras takes a long time. During the couple of months that we've been using and writing about these cameras, everyone on the dpreview.com team has had the opportunity to use and give feedback on...

Kodak EasyShare Z950 (Black) review

The Kodak EasyShare Z950 is a fairly dry camera, but in a good way. After testing so many cameras with hot, new special features lately, the Z950's straightforward "I'm a camera, I take pictures" package is a nice change. Its most exciting element is a...

Nice features, photo quality for the money.

Shooting performance can be frustrating; comparatively narrow lens.

As long as you're a patient snapshooter, the Kodak EasyShare Z950 is a respectable compact megazoom camera.

Kodak EasyShare Z950

The 12-megapixel Kodak EasyShare Z950 ($250 as of 12/7/09) is an easy-to-use pocket megazoom camera with an impressive list of advanced features. In addition to a 10X-optical-zoom lens, it has exposure bracketing, shutter priority, aperture priority,...

Quick shutter on individual shots ; 10X optical zoom ; Very good still-image quality

Mediocre video quality ; Shutter lag between shots ; No wide-angle capabilities

Simple to use, the EasyShare Z950 offers impressive color and a powerful 10X optical zoom. The only disappointment is its mediocre video quality.

Kodak EasyShare Z950 Review

The Kodak EasyShare Z950 is the latest compact camera to feature a 10x zoom lens. Providing a focal range of 35-350mm, the Kodak Z950 makes up for its lack of wide-angle capability by offering a wealth of features for beginners and more experienced...

It's perhaps the case with this latest Kodak that if you don't expect too much you're bound to be pleasantly surprised – and after what feels like a run of distinctly average (though typically fairly priced and pitched) showings from the brand, we...

Kodak EasyShare Z950 review – relatively narrow lens

The Kodak EasyShare Z950 is a straight forward digital camera. Its design is quite similar to that of the EasyShare Z915. It features 35mm equivalent lens with 10x zoom in a compact body. This lens is not a wide-angle one used by the other companies...

Average photo quality and mid-range features as per its price tag

Relatively narrow lens; a bit frustrating shooting performance

The Z950 is a standard mega-zoom camera with narrow lens. It gives simple semi-manual and manual control. The photo quality and performance is average as per its price tag.

Review: Kodak EasyShare Z950 digital camera

Simple to use, the EasyShare Z950 digital camera offers impressive color and a powerful 10X optical zoom.

The Z950's bricky, all-black design won't win any awards, but you could consider it a bit retro; it reminded me of my first 35mm camera from childhood. Though the Z950 has a 3-inch LCD, it lacks an optical viewfinder

Kodak Z950

High-end aspirations but average performance, with slightly soft images and fuzzy video

Low image noise; Decent zoom and nice LCD

Soft edges on long zoom; Underwhelming video

The Z950 is a decent camera, with decent performance and a decent set of features. And decent is not a bad thing: it takes good pictures and has a zoom long enough to get close to the action. But it doesn’t really shine in any area, and some of the...
