The EasyShare Z650 replaces the Z740 at the top of the Kodak’s reasonably priced super zoom range, and offers a lesser cost, lower specified alternative to the ‘professional’ P850. The changes over the earlier model are fairly modest; the pixel count increases from 5 to 6MP and the lens is now a Schneider Variogon (as opposed to the Z740′s Kodak Retinar) – though it looks suspiciously alike. The brand new model also gets a better (though lower resolution) LCD screen, a little new scene modes and a live histogram. It may have a budget price, but the Z650 boasts a comprehensive set of shooting options and Kodak’s famous ease of use, though it is one of the few models in this class not to offer any form of image stabilization.

The Kodak EasyShare P850 joins a extensive line of EasyShare digital cameras that are amongst the easiest and generally goof-proof out there, and the Kodak P850 maintains this ease of use, though it does offer an expanded range of options. Featuring a five-megapixel CCD, an impressive 12x optical zoom, and an extensive array of automatic and manual exposure modes, the Kodak P850 is a capable camera with huge flexibility. Like the rest of the EasyShare line, the Kodak P850 is compatible with Kodak’s popular Printer Docks, offering one-button printing. The P850 appeals to novices and skilled users alike, and will make a excellent fit for many consumers.
