KODAK-EasyShare Max Z990 12MP Digital Camera


Kodak EasyShare Max Z990 12MP Digital Camera (Black) is well-named: a 30x optical zoom is pretty much the Max for a compact consumer digital camera. But it's not only the lens that makes this camera a contender.

The camera features Full HD 1080 video recording at 30fps with stereo sound, optical zoom and continuous focusing are available. The camera's mode dialfeatures HDR, Auto, P, A, S, M, Scene, Sport, Portrait, and Art modes. The other buttons on the top include on/off, zoom and shutter release, continuous shooting, macro / super macro button and self-timer. The playback mode has a clever feature where it can sort your photos, showing all photos, photos of people (using face detection features).

A 12MP CMOS sensor that has improved performance in low-light situations, a large, bright 3inch LCD monitor, full 1080 HD video, and the option of shooting in the advanced RAW format are all reasons to take a closer look. And, the 30x zoom includes a 28mm wide-angle (the lens is a 28-840mm (equivalent) Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon with a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8-f/5.6). Combined with optical image stabilization and ISO sensitivity up to 6400 (ISO 12800 at 3.1MP resolution), you'll get sharp, clear pictures even in dim light.

Kodak Easyshare Max Z990 features an impressive ultra zoom, that at the wide angle end has an aperture of f/2.8 and 28mm equivalent, and zooms all the way to 840mm equivalent at the telephoto end, with an aperture of f/5.6.The Z990 brings lots of other sophisticated features usually found in DSLRs, as well-- Program, Aperture, Shutter and Manual dial, plus RAW format (which can give dramatically better results using post-processing software), scene modes that can optimize settings for a variety of common subjects (portrait, night, landscape, sports, children, beach, fireworks, etc.), and artistic effects including High Dynamic Range (HDR), panorama, photobooth, etc.
