Kodak Z650 review; Photos included



Right before Christmas, I decided to finally replace my broken HP digital camera. I was looking for a camera with a higher pixel rating and good optical lens but didn't want to spend the 800 + dollars to get a SLR. So after searching the internet, talking to friends and going to Best Buy, Circuit City and Target I decided on the Kodak Z650.

The Kodak Z650 runs under 200$ at most retail stores that carry them. It packs a nice 6.1-mega pixel with a whole array of 17 diff3erent scene modes for taking pictures. Another great feature is the 10X optical zoom Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon lens. The Camera is definitely designed for the person who wants to take great pictures but does not have the time to make a full time hobby out of photography.However if you do want to take a bit more advanced photos the settings definitely allow you to take your photographs to the next level.

Video features on this camera allow you to take 640X480 at 11 frames per second or 320X240 at 20 FPS. I have not really used the video mode a whole lot yet but it is also extremely easy to use (just turn the top switch to video, press the button and point).

Kodak Easy share Software comes with the purchase and installs in just a few minutes. I find the software good source for organizing all of your photos. Easy share software allows you to share your photo albums on the internet with family and friends effortlessly. There is also the option to order your prints off the web and have them mailed directly to your house.

Overall, I find this to be a great purchase for a family camera.
