Abstract: As Geeks.com had indicated, the camera was a refurbished one, and (as weve experienced several times in the past) the only hints that it had been refurbished were the generic box and a "refurbished" sticker on the camera; without a doubt Kodak is seri...

Like the models that preceded it in the DX and Z ranges, the EasyShare P850 offers a lightweight, easy-to-use alternative to users wanting a big zoom camera without the bulk or weight of something like the Panasonic FZ20. It has a truly sophisticated ...
Abstract: The EasyShare P850 ($499) is one of two cameras in Kodaks new Performance series of digital cameras. The P850 (reviewed here) features a 12X stabilized zoom lens, while its sibling the P880 (review to come) features a 24 mm wide-angle lens. The P85...
Abstract: There are a lot of 5 megapixel EVF (electronic viewfinder) cameras but few of them have the 12x zoom of the EasyShare P850, which gives it the equivalent of a 36-432mm lens. Thats particularly impressive given that this is a relatively small and light...
