Pros: Quality pictures, great zoom, lots of settings, variety of battery options, easy transfer with computer
Cons: Autofocus and autoflash are disappointing, delayed shutter, takes a while to be "ready"

This camera is a really solid value, and for the price I paid, I'm really satisfied, even impressed. My price of $270 included a cheap carrying case, a Li-ion battery pack, and two AA Ni-MH batteries with a charger. It has a very sleek design; the grip ...

Pros: great zoom with no stabilization reqd, excellent quality photos, compact
Cons: cannot review photos without turning camera on, cheap zoom control button

Pros: Very good versatility; easy to use.

Cons: sometimes takes too long to focus

The Kodak Z650 Digital Camera has a lot to offer for a very reasonable price. The camera is very simple to use, and for what I have used it for, it takes very nice pictures.  There are different settings for different types of pictures, such as ...

Pros: Easy to use, inexpensive, fantastic results, great zoom capabilities
Cons: Eats batteries - buy the rechargeable pack from Kodak.

Cons: Shutter is a little sluggish in automatic

I had an older DX6490 which when it came out two years ago was considered one of the better cameras available at the time. It had its problems but for a point and shoot camera it did produce nice prints. If someone hadn't stolen the old camera I ...

Pros: Kodak color science, tons of features, awesome picture quality.
Cons: Poor lens cap fit, low light focus is poor.

This is my second Kodak digital camera and like my old one I just love it. Flat out it takes some of the best pictures I've seen or taken for that matter. It's rich in features. From almost full manual PASM control to automatic point and shoot to ...

Pros: Ease of use, great zoom, many programs, auto shooting, extremly quick auto focus, great look.
Cons: missing image stabilisation, could be heavier(uses 2xAA)

Have been using the camera for two weeks and had no problems with it. It was a smooth experience. It is one of the easiest to use cameras in the class. Has many different settings and each is explained for couple seconds once you switch to it. Auto Focus on it is a strong feature which makes up for the missing image stabilization. Videos are pretty nice. The sound of indoor video is very clear, but outside there is some wind noise. Pictures are clear and with very natural color. The display size is just about perfect(2 inch). I have used the lens adapter which is included in the package and instead of another lens added a UV filter to it. Now the lens is cased in and protected plus the camera is easy to hold while shooting. Extends the lens section and gives it a nice SLR feel. If you are looking for a best deal outthere this is the camera to go with.

Pros: ease of use, vivid color, clear crisp picture quality, professional lens, high resolution,large LCD
Cons: a bit pricey

I am not the most technically inclined woman. I researched many cameras from many stores in many different brands. I found Kodak to be quite user friendly and with many great options. I figured out how to use the camera with hardly looking in the user guide! It is pretty straight forward and the picture quality is excellent, 6.1mp gives you great pictures. The Z650 also has a professional quality lens so the pictures are sharp and clear and the 10x optical zoom lets you get right up on the shot. The Kodak color science chip makes colors true and bright. I am extremely pleased with my kodak EasyShare Z650 camera. There are so many features that make this camera a fantastic value. My oldest son likes the optional shutter sounds. We chose the "scifi" lazer sound so upon turning it on and off and shooting a picture, it makes a cool sound. It helps to get the kids to smile for a picture. Kodak has thought of everything with this one!

Pros: The camera is very sharp looking.The features are excellent. The video is even great.
Cons: I Have No Cons The Camera is Nothing Less Than Perfect

I have owned my Z650 for a couple weeks now and can say that it has been nothing less than perfect. I am not a professional photographer by any means. I am just the average "take a few here and there" kind of guy who likes a quality photo result. This camera has all of the features that a novice should need...and probably more. My old camera was simple to use as well, however, I always got blurry photos no matter what I tried. The zoom on this camera is superior to any digitals I have seen or tried. Additionally, this camera is very light weight and compact enough to pack into glove compartments or consoles in most cars.

If I had to recommend one additional item to purchase, it would be some sort of protective case. I use the neck/shoulder strap and always fear the camera swinging and striking some statonary object. A case of some type will be on my shopping list very soon.

Pros: 6.0+ megapixels, 10x optical zoom
Cons: Limited ISO setting (800 maximum), no image stabilization. Flash is too bright.

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.
