The Z's blocky, direct design highlights its most prominent physical attribute: its lens. The camera includes a 36mm-tomm-equivalent, 5x optical zoom lens for a bit more telephoto power than most compact cameras' 3x lenses. It doesn't have the mechanical image stabilization of the EasyShare Z IS , but it doesn't have its much larger 12x lens, either. As part of Kodak's EasyShare Z series, the Z is directed primarily at more experienced camera users rather than your average snapshooter.
Besides the standard automatic and scene preset modes found on every EasyShare camera, the Z features complete program and manual shooting modes. Manual mode lets you change every exposure setting from aperture to shutter speed and even manually focus the camera. On such a small, inexpensive shooter, these are welcome options.
Unfortunately, if you want to adjust those exposure settings, you're forced to adjust them all individually; the camera lacks shutter- and aperture-priority modes. Kodak really pumped up the ISO sensitivity in the Z By ratcheting the camera down to 2. Unfortunately, this feature only looks good on paper; when you shoot at the super-high ISO settings, noise engulfs the pictures so much that you can actually see the grain in the camera's 2.

I once bought a digital camera and tore my hair out with similar symptoms until I formatted the card in the camera. If the problem persists, I'd call Kodak.
Good l Downloaded firmware update for olympus vr and now its frozen with the lens out, wont turn on and the camera is not detected through the usb cable I ended up with a brick and the camera is not responding to anything and it is not charging. What should I do? Olympus VR Digital Camera. GE X5 Digital Camera. This will improve colour accuracy at slow shutter speeds when using Nikon flash units and other improvements so I am l told advice and download required [email protected] Camera eos 50D started giving an error 99 code, I updated firmware through a download.
Receiving multiple error codes definitely indicates that your camera should be taken in for service. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do on your end in terms of troubleshooting or fixing a range of error codes. The camera needs to be sen I get the 6 Quality options, but not the RAW option.
I think the RAW is not available in the "Auto" option. Thank You. I've updated drivers for Vista OS, still no success. Canon Digital Cameras. I think my camera is about 3 years old also. I thought it was the battery , but it isn't.
It just started doing it one day and it won't stop. I downloaded the updated firmware and it stopped for about 3 days , now it is doing it again. I recently bought a sunpak digiflash external flash for my canon T2i. I doesn't work. But Dave had a completely different experience. It's clearly not an enthusiast model, but I was calling it 'the little camera that could' for the great job it did under a variety of lighting conditions.
Noisy at high ISO, its prints still looked good as 5x7s, great as 4x6s. It did great with white balance, its color was a bit oversaturated, but typical of a lot of consumer digicams. I share Dave's enthusiasm for Kodak's Color Science chip, responsible for the virtues he enumerates. But the Kodak Z itself is another story.
The slow startup, the difficulty finding focus with no assist lamp, the reliance on Scenes and Smart Scene detection all rubbed me the wrong way. If you wait a good long while it writes your shoot to the memory card.
I can also appreciate the pleasure of using the Kodak Z for snapshots. At intermission of Opera in the Park, I wandered around Sharon Meadow taking snapshots for the gallery.
Some I liked, like the instrument cases taking a break, or the bike with no brake. Others were less successful, like the crowd scenes. After the concert, I took a walk to the Dahlia garden where my sunglasses amused me and was so disappointed in the Kodak Z's closeup options that I switched cameras. One advantage the Kodak Z has over its competitors is the EasyShare universe. That starts in the camera with Favorites images retained in the camera's internal memory and easy docking to make 4x6 prints, but it extends to Kodak's free EasyShare software that can import your images when you attach the camera to your computer with a USB cable.
And it goes even further to Kodak Gallery where you can share your images and turn them into prints and all sorts of gifts. EasyShare is the really valuable accessory that comes with every Kodak digicam. It's a shame the EasyShare experience doesn't extend to the product's Web site, though. While you can read about the camera's features, its specifications, click through the manual, and get firmware updates, the page design and navigation need work.
I was always losing the Kodak Zspecific pages when trying to drill down to a specific topic. Perfect Touch. The Kodak Z does include some in-camera editing functions like Kodak's Perfect Touch, which displays the automatic enhancement in a split screen view so you can decide whether to keep it or not. You can also crop pictures in the camera, and edit video, too, saving a frame as a still, or trimming the video of unwanted segments.
You can add video bookmarks to skip to interesting places in a movie, and you can make a 4-, 9-, or up image from video frames. Overall, it was a mixed bag. The Kodak Z was able to make some good snapshots for a low priced camera, but its high ISO feature and supposed digital image stabilization left much to be desired. Movie mode was good, and so was the camera's connectivity to the many EasyShare printer docks.
Image quality is good up to about ISO , with reasonable clarity considering the 8-megapixel resolution, but noise suppression starts to tamp detail down from ISO on up. Prints from the Kodak Z look good at ISO up to 8x10, and ISO 1, is usable for 4x6, but avoid the higher ISO unless you want to save time and money on making water color paintings, because that's just what the output looks like at ISO 3, to 8, The Kodak Z is not a bad snapshot camera on a budget.
Dave liked the Kodak Z, Luke said some nice things about it, Rob found it flustering, and I'm not really a fan. You break the tie. Consider the charming, simple design but the slow startup with a lens that protrudes an inch and a half.
Take into account the Smart Scene modes, but don't forget you can't get very close in Macro mode. And don't discount the annoyance of the long write times. Printed results are good at 4x6 up to ISO 1,, so it will do decent duty as a snapshot camera even at night if your subject's close enough. The Kodak Z is reasonably good for the money, but you might want to look around a bit for other bargain cameras that deliver a little more.
