Once you use the Kodak Easyshare Z915 you’ll be truly impressed by the clear, sharp images from a relatively inexpensive camera.  This camera follows the Kodak mantra “easy to use”, with easy to read and use buttons, and a setting dial on the top which makes switching between shooting modes simple.

This camera is great for someone who just wants to point and shoot, or someone who wants to try artistic things with their photography.  This camera works great in automatic and also provides lots of setup options when you like to go manually.

It’s comfortable to hold, fits easily in a belt pouch, or pocket and really is a very simple to use point and shoot.  Like all digital cameras it does need to have the shutter held half in for a moment to focus, else you will be frustrated with blurred shots.

The video mode allows you to zoom in and out while shooting, and like most digital cameras the sound is not always quite what you would like it to be if recording in a noisy area, or too far away from the camera.

This is a smaller pocket sized camera, that still takes AA batteries, inexpensive SD memory cards and still delivers fantastic photos with all the features.

The still and video capture both work well in both bright light and low light.
When playing the sound back via the camera it is hard to distinquish, but fine once it is uploaded.

Great quality for the price, basically well worth the money you pay for it, it is incredibly inexpensive for a camera of such value.

The camera body is fairly small, making it easy to carry and hold. The control layout is very intuitive which is good for those of us who want to pick up a camera and just start using it.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B has a super steady shot – and is excellent for fast motion shots. It has tons of neat settings to allow you to catch the perfect shot. The macro and close up capability has amazing detail – and the zoom quality is quite incredible.

While you are learning the features of the camera, leave the setting on to give you detailed info on the little icons indicating what they do. Once you know all the features you want to use then you can turn it off.

You can edit peoples faces ON the camera to make it look like they were smiling! How cool is that? Another great feature is the ability to set priority face recognition so that it will focus on the person you want it to when you’re shooting pictures, that way the person you want is always in clear.
