Kodak EasyShare Z915

Viewfinder

Like almost all point and shoot cameras, the Kodak EasyShare Z915 does not have a viewfinder.

LCD

The Kodak EasyShare Z915 has a smaller LCD than other cameras in the compact ultrazoom space at ony 2.5 inches. We don't have any information about the resolution of the display yet.

The 2.5-inch LCD display is smaller than we'd like.

Flash

The flash sits on a bulge just above the lens. It looks like Kodak tried to put some distance between the lens and the flash to mitigate red-eye issues.

The flash has been raised up above the lens a bit.

Lens

Like all compact ultrazooms, the key feature on the camera is the lens. Kodak has gone with a 10x Kodak Retinar lens with a focal range of 35mm to 350mm, which doesn't offer the wide angle capabilities of other cameras in this space. That's likely one of the places where Kodak saved money on production in an effort to offer the camera at a much lower price than competitors.

The 35-350mm zoom lens is at the heart of the Z915.

Jacks, Ports & Plugs

There are two ports on the Kodak EasyShare Z915, a DC input and a mini USB port that handles both video out and data connection duties. Both are found on the right side of the camera under a plastic cover.

Both ports are found on the right side of the Z915.

Battery

The Kodak EasyShare Z915 uses two AA batteries, which are loaded into the bottom and held in place by a swiveling cover, right next to the memory card slot. The advantage of AA batteries is that you can almost always find replacements for them when they run out of juice, and you can invest in inexpensive rechargable versions.

AA batteries makes finding replacements a breeze.

Memory

The Kodak EasyShare Z915 uses standard SD/SDHC memory cards, available up to 32GB of storage. The memory card slot is located right next to the battery slots on the bottom of the camera.
