Very good to excellent image quality.Very wide angle.Very sharp EVF.Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor.Full range of shooting modes.Flash shoe for dedicated flash.Three JPEG compression levels along with RAW and TIFF formats.

The EasyShare P880 can extend from a fully-automatic, point-and-shoot camera to one where you can take over some or all of its set-up yourself. Its ergonomics aren't great, but it takes a well-defined image with its 24mm wide-angle lens and offers...

Manual zoom ring, quick to access scene modes, super wide lens, wealth of features while still easy to use.

Not great if you have big hands, slow compared to a DSLR, defaulting to standard jpeg every time you change scene mode, oh and most people say it's ugly.

When I contacted Kodak and told them this camera had done well in our £250 test they were surprised because the RRP is £450. However, search hard and you'll find it for less than £250. At that price it represents a very good buy. Image quality is up...

Great features, Huge battery life

Below average image quality, huge write time for TIFF files

The Kodak P880 would have been a great camera but for problems with image quality, and massive write times for the advanced file formats.

Wide-angle end of the zoom gives you a wide (24mm) view. Good video capabilities, with zooming. Precise control with zoom ring.

Noticeable shutter lag. Picture sharpness could be better. Flash shots so-so.

Excellent color, good resolution Generally very good exposure Very useful - and pretty much unique - 24-140mm zoom range Manual (mechanical) zooming Manual focus ring Sharp lens, good edge-to-edge consistency even at 24mm Lens thread for optional...

Focus slow in low light and at long end of zoom Flash won't fire when battery is low, but picture still taken Occasional focus errors at long end of zoom ISO 400 JPEGs quite soft due to noise reduction ISO 800 and 1600 only available at 0.8MP...

The two cameras in the new EasyShare 'P' range are superficially very similar, yet in many respects they are like chalk and cheese. Where the inherent problems of a soft lens and noisy sensor meant Kodak had to process the P850 images to within an inch...
