I purchased a lot of camera equipment
in the last 6 months. I upgraded my Pentax dSLR, lenses, purchased a
Panasonic mirrorless(hate that term), a Panasonic pocketable super
zoom, a Kodak z990; even the kids each got a Pentax dSLR. All but
the pocketable super zoom impressed me.

This post is about the Kodak Z990. The
features of the Kodak are amazing. It has...
- A high quality Electronic View
Finder(EVF) as well as a 3”screen.
- A Back Side Illuminated CMOS
sensor(Great in low light).
- Real multi-exposure HDR(shooting technique feature
only found in mid level or better dSLRs)
- An equivalent 28-840mm(Wide angle to
telescope) f2.8–5.6(FAST good DOF(Depth Of Field)) Schneider Kreuznach lens.
- True HD video.
- The best image stabilization I've ever
used.

All of that for under $150(Closeout,
original msrp was $499). The only negatives I would give this camera
are, no on camera 3d and below average battery life. It uses AA
batteries and good rechargeables only get 150-200 shots. I suspect
this is due to the image stabilization.

Kodak really missed the mark when they
marketed their cameras. I don't know why they pushed their, run of
the mill, low end cameras while nobody ever got to hear of their
impressive higher end models. This is the second, 'high end' Kodak
camera I've owned(The first being a P880) and both were excellent.
