Kodak Easyshare P-850 Review

DPReview have reviewed the new Kodak Easyshare P850 - a 5 megapixel ultra zoom digital camera with a 12x optical zoom lens, with image stabilisation, and a 2.5" screen:

"In August 2005 Kodak announced a new class of 'advanced digital cameras' with the introduction of the P series, which it hopes will provide an alternative to entry-level DSLRs. The EasyShare P850, which has an image-stabilized 12x zoom Schneider-Kreuznach lens (36-432mm 35mm equiv), is a direct competitor to the likes of Canon's S2 IS, Sony's H1 and Panasonic's FZ20. As well as the new image stabilizing feature the P850 boasts RAW file capture and a flash hot shoe, plus a real wealth of photographic controls."
