 Kodak EasyShare P880 at Steves Digicams : Our good friends at Steves Digicams have published their review of the Kodak EasyShare P880 digital camera. The Kodak P880 features 8 Megapixels and an interesting wide-angle optical zoom lens with a focal length of 24 - 140mm (35mm equiv.,) f/2.8-4.1. The 24mm wide angle setting is ideal for landscape photography, allowing a person to get closer to subjects, while contributing to greater sense of place by pulling in foreground objects with greater depth of field. With the same integrated lens, users can also optically zoom up to 140mm (5.8X) using the manual zoom ring for precise framing. Kodak has added RAW file support to the Kodak EasyShare P880 digital camera.

 Kodak P880 - Design and Optical zoom
According to Steve Digicams: "I enjoyed using the lens' mechanical zoom ring, a great improvement over the motor-driven zooms of most consumer digicams. Like the zoom controls of dSLR lenses, the P880's enables you to move quickly and directly to the focal length needed for your shot composition. We were happy with the P880's results shooting indoors. The wide field of view afforded by the 24mm end of the lens zoom range makes shooting in small areas a breeze."
Kodak EasyShare P880 digital camera - Steves Digicams review conclusion
Steve continues: "RAW image support in Kodak's EasyShare software is a bit weak. The .kdc image file can be opened and edited, but White Balance is difficult to fine tune, offering only pre-sets and an eye dropper tool to identify a gray area of the image; there is no provision to adjust by color temperature. We were also pleased with our outdoor test shots. The P880's lens and accurate AF system combined to produce sharp results, and the exposure system produced nicely saturated colors and accurate exposures.
