5 out of 5 stars Excellent camera   January 1, 2009
Denise Grandits
I have been the proud owner of a Kodak Z710 for 2 years. It is a great camera especially for outdoors shots. I was able to stand on the sideline of my son's high school football games, snap random shots (not really focusing on anything in particular) and then zoom/crop the shots for some spectacular images. I've uploaded some of those under the Z710 review.

But, I was ready to upgrade since the trusty old Z710 wasn't great indoors at the basketball courts. I could never figure out the PASM settings so that I captured the fast action in dreadful gym lighting. I actually broke down and ordered a digital SLR from another retailer and gave it a try for a good month. I was surprised that the results weren't that much better than the Z710 so I have returned it.

Today, I headed off to try the Z1015 and I was very happy. The firmware upgrade on Kodak eliminates the wait time between shoots and if you turn off the automatic preview after each shot, you cut down on more time. I have just a 2MP memory card in it and I think that is slowing it down a bit, too.

However, tonight I played around with the camera. While sitting on my couch, I used the 15X optical zoom to zoom in on ornaments on the Christmas tree. Then, I cropped them further. Was I shocked! I only have the Christmas tree lights on and the images are stunning. You can see the detail as if I were standing right next to the tree (the couch is about 12 feet away from the tree).

For the regular photographer, this is a great camera. If you are considered a digital SLR, you might want to give this camera a try first. I would never have bought it but my older version Kodak just couldn't achieve good pictures in poor lighting conditions. This camera's higher ISO capability just might solve my dilemma. We'll find out...between 3 sons, we have 6 games in the next week. I'll post an update after I test my new Z1015 at the courts!



5 out of 5 stars Excellent buy for the average person   December 23, 2008

Excellent digital camera for the average person. Takes outstanding pictures. My son loves the camera and that is something coming from a 17 year old. I read all I could about inexpensive digital cameras and realized the best buy was the Kodak Z1015IS. Most of the problems listed for this camera are operator headspace and timing. I would recommend this camera to anyone.
