The Kodak P850 has control elements borrowed from both compact and DSLR models. Perhaps to retain users of compact EasyShare cameras, the P850 has similar one-touch buttons for reviewing and deleting photos – and of course the hallmark Share button that streamlines printing and emailing. The Kodak P850 is still a big change from compact models though; its control buttons and dials are more reminiscent of a DSLR. There are more designated buttons to change the flash mode, the display information, the focus mode, burst settings, AE/AF lock, and metering. There is even a Program button atop the camera that is the Renaissance man of the control buttons: it can be set to change just about any option (see the menu section). The grooved mode dial looks like something that could be found on a single lens reflex model, as does the Set button and accompanying jog dial. Many of the buttons are very small, but are spaced far enough apart as to not get pressed simultaneously with neighboring controls. |
