Not sure why anyone would belive a 24x optical zoom cam would not have stabilization.

Unless Schneider have found some way around the laws of optics, I don't see how you can compare this to a 5x4 system.]]>Jan 4th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 4th 2009 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/

My friend got a LZ5, by all account it has good spec on paper, I could have recommanded him this if he asked me. But it really takes bad picture. Lousy white balance, noisy and it even look terrible on the tiny playback screen.]]>Jan 4th 2009 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 5th 2009 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/
And after owning my Canon S5 which has a fully articulating screen, I wouldn't even consider a camera like this without one.]]>Jan 5th 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Jan 5th 2009 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/
As the top of the Z series I expect the Z980 to be an excellent camera. The lens is an F2.8 - F5.0. The camera will shoot 5 frames per second in sports mode for a burst of 9 shots. It will do raw as well as jpgs. The LCD is 3".

I have 38 years experience in serious photography and own way too much Japanese camera equipment for my own good. The Kodak Z cameras compare well with anything even vaguely in the same price range coming out of Japan. A friend of mine in the Photo and Video lab at the Johnson Space Center has a Z812 and says he prefers it to the Canon s5is.]]>Mar 9th 2009 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/kodak-delivers-z980-24x-megazoom-m380-point-and-shoot-cameras/Mar 25th 2009 9:39PM
