Kodak Easyshare Z650 Review

DPReview have published their review of the new 6 megapixel Kodak Easyshare Z650 - it features a 10x optical zoom lens and a 2" screen. The Kodak Easyshare Z650 is available for £187 at Amazon UK:

"The EasyShare Z650 replaces the Z740 at the top of the Kodak's affordable super zoom range, and offers a lower cost, lower specified alternative to the 'professional' P850. The changes over the previous model are fairly modest; the pixel count increases from 5 to 6MP and the lens is now a Schneider Variogon (as opposed to the Z740's Kodak Retinar) - though it looks suspiciously similar. The new model also gets a bigger (though lower resolution) LCD screen, a few new scene modes and a live histogram. It may have a budget price, but the Z650 boasts a comprehensive set of shooting options and Kodak's famous ease of use, though it is one of the few models in this class not to offer any form of image stabilization."

The predecessor, the Kodak Easyshare Z740, a 5 megapixel digital camera with a 10x optical zoom lens, is probably the cheapest ultra zoom digital camera available, at only £152 including VAT and postage at Amazon UK.
