Kodak Z1015 IS

Digital Camera Review

The Kodak EasyShare Z1015 IS is an affordable ultra-zoom point-and-shoot retailing for $299.95. A 15x optical zoom for that price is certainly a deal, and we're sure that many will be attracted by that feature alone, even if the resolution is an unremarkable 10 megapixels. The user interface of the Z1015 IS is simple and easy to learn, and more advanced users will appreciate the full complement of manual controls available along with RAW support.
