Good picture quality for a low price
Date of Review: Mar 24, 2008
The Kodak Z650 Digital Camera provides decent picture quality with 6.0+ megapixels. The 10x optical zoom is one of the key features that led to my decision of purchasing this camera. At the time of the purchase I had been comparing several digital cameras and this one seemed the most economical based on the features. It may seem a bit bulky in comparison to other compact Digital cameras. It uses AA, CRV3 lithium, and Ni-MH batteries. I prefer the Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. I bought a separate battery charger and Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, which are a great alternative to the AA batteries. Pictures that are taken without the built in flash and under low light settings appear unfocused. Manual settings provide better results in comparison to the automatic mode. I was a bit disappointed with the ISO settings. The highest it can go to is 400 at full picture quality, and 800 at the 1.7 megapixels setting. Photography enthusiasts will find a decent amount of manual settings, including shutter speed, exposure, f-stop, ISO settings, and settings for the lighting environment. It's a great choice for outdoor photography. It provides crystal clear and picturesque shots of the outdoors.
