  • Kodak EasyShare P850 5.1-Megapixel Digital Camera with 12x Optical Stabilized Zoom

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 12, 2005
    Pros: Price, features, performance, movie mode with zoom, RAW, large screen, rechargeable battery
    Cons: Noisy ISO 400, some image quality concerns, noisy zoom, slow low-light focusing at telephoto

    Summary: Once I found out that Kodak has recently released a camera that combines 5-Megapixel resolution and 12x optical zoom with optical image stabilization, I knew I had to get it. In addition to the aforementioned qualities, the Kodak EasyShare P850 also ... read more

  • Kodak P850

    Jun 20, 2007
    Pros: Excellent image stabilization, excellent color, large lcd screen
    Cons: doesn't stay powered on very well, long shutter lag time

    Summary: At first this camera seemed wonderful, I loved the mega pixel level and the 12 zoom, but within about 5 months of owning it, it failed to stay powered on for any length of time. I bought a new battery thinking maybe it had sat on the store shelf for too ... read more

  • Wow! It has a Hotshoe! Oh Yeah, and It Takes Decent Photos

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 10, 2007
    Pros: Hotshoe! Can be used with studio lights. Decent quality.
    Cons: Tends to shoot slow shutter speeds. Easyshare software cripples all other camera wizards and explorer

    Summary: I'm releasing this review a year late. I wrote it, thought it was too negative, and just forgot about it, so this article is written after becoming intimate with the camera and taking over 4000 photos with it. It's amazingly feature-laden for $379! It ... read more

  • Good but no Minolta or Canon

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 13, 2007
    Pros: 12X zoom, image stabilization, VGA movies, zoom during video, large screen
    Cons: oh-so-painful shutter lag, very sloppy zoom control, zoom noise during video,

    Summary: Wanted to move up from a 2MP Samsung to a top-end 5MP with speed, zoom and good color. Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad I suppose but the P850 is every bit in the shutter department as slow as the Samsung (~$125 US). Sometimes you can actually count off the ... read more

  • Kodak P850 - Average Quality Camera

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 15, 2007
    Pros: Occasional great photo, but not often
    Cons: Low Quality, Noisy, Battery Life, Flash problems, Shutter lag

    Summary: I bought this camera when it first came out. I didn't do a great deal comparing this with others brands, and I am now paying for that mistake. Basically, the camera takes "okay" photos. However, the lag time between pushing the shutter button and ... read more

  • My P850 review

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 4, 2006
    Pros: long zoom, RAW, large bright LCD, nice grip.
    Cons: camera crashes too often.

    Summary: My Kodak P850 review. You cant check the DOF because there is no DOF button. This camera only goes up to 1/1000, the C330 P&S goes up to 1/1400. Yes, the EVF is nice, but slow. Why no tilt/rotatable LCD? Why only 5.1mp? Why no ISO above ... read more

  • Great camera many features

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 23, 2006
    Pros: large LCD, stabilization, optional lenses, size
    Cons: none

    Summary: Purchased brand-new on e-bay in August 2006 for about $260. Includes all retail accessories: strap, lens cover, docking station template, battery, quick wall charger (full charge in approx. 2 hours), a/v cables, usb cable, software, and manual. I ... read more

  • Excellent value with a wealth of features

    Jul 5, 2006
    Pros: 12X Zoom; Many Manual Controls; Many scene selections.
    Cons: Pronounced shutter lag; poor battery performance; no remote control

    Summary: For quite some time, I had been wanting to upgrade from my Kodak digital camera that was pretty much point and shoot, to a camera that had much more manual control capabilities. For the longest time, I had my eye on the Kodak P880. I really wanted that 8 ... read more

  • Kodak P850 not for my flash photography needs

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 3, 2006
    Pros: 12X zoom, image stabilization, VGA movie mode, zoom during video, reasonable price
    Cons: Allows photo when flash not ready, Movies are Quicktime .MOV, slow focus

    Summary: This camera has some nice features and a good price, but did not fit the need for my situation. I needed another camera to use primarily for indoor flash photography. In the end, I think I’m going to sell this on E-bay and try something different. ... read more

  • A great camera for people interested in making the switch from film photography

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 20, 2005
    Pros: 12x Zoom, Image stabilization, 2.5" LCD, hot shoe for add on flashes.
    Cons: The door for removable secure digital is small and somewhat flimsy.

    Summary: I have owned two Kodak Digital cameras, the DX 3900 and the DX 7590. I liked my DX 7590, but sometimes had problems when using the 10x optical zoom, especially in reduced light situations: the more zoom you use, the more the tendency to have blur in ... read more

    Pros: Nice clean pictures, 12x zoom, 2,5 in LCD, feels good in hand.
    Cons: Loud zoom which activates when camera is turned on. Lack of manual control.

    Summary: I just got this camera and already I am enjoying it and taking lots of pictures of my 3 cats. The flash works pretty well and despite a few distortions when using the zoom up close on what you are shooting, this camera seems to get some very clean ... read more

    Pros: Clear pictures, good action shots, easy to use
    Cons: Lag time between shots

    Summary: This camera takes great action shots. I bought it to take pics of my little league baseball player. What great shots I've captured. The image stabilization works very well. There is a bit of lag time between shots. That's a drawback. The lighting must be

  • P-850 Nice but performs poorly in low light

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Dec 31, 2005
    Pros: Zoom, stabalized lens, Large LCD, Great menu system, easy to use out of the box
    Cons: Poor low light photos and no auto focus assist. on/off switch atop camera seems awkward

    Summary: I will make this short and non technical. This is a great camera unless you will be using in low light situations where it performs poorly. Has difficulty focusing in low light and the photos are subpar. I bought this to replace Samsung A-7 which also

    Dec 27, 2005
    Pros: Easy to use, nice handling, excellent lens and zoom
    Cons: none found yet

    Summary: This is the first digital camera I own. It delivers high quality pictures and can be used by a beginner. You can just start making pictures. At the same time it provides all the features you might need to create high end pictures under each
