Kodak EasyShare P880 reviewed

P880

LetsGoDigital has a review up for Kodak’s classy 8 megapixel shooter, the EasyShare P880. They find it to be a good middle ground between easy to use consumer cameras and those pricey, but feature laden, D-SLRs. We covered the basics when we saw this in August, but just in case you forgot, it has a wide-angle 5.8x zoom lens, a 2.5-inch screen, an accessory shoe, accepts SD cards, and shoots in RAW if you’d like. As for the review, they do like the lens, the extra wide-angle of 24mm being a definite plus, along with great focal length; and there are also a good amount of controls that you don’t normally find on a $600 semi-compact camera, such as a manual zoom ring, external flash mode, and aperture, shutter, and manual control modes. It’s definitely not as fast or feature rich as a real D-SLR, but the overall verdict seems to be that it should make for an easy to use, and well priced, transition into the higher end realm.

For those of us who don't need the functions of an SLR but want a great lens.
