Kodak EasyShare P880 reviewed

By Paul Miller

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.
