Pros

Kodak EasyShare Z915 is a worthy investment because first, it has a comparably shot time lag between shots so you may find its performance somewhat speedy. Due to its megazoom abilities, users can take good quality photos even on far away shots.

 

Thanks to the advanced Optical Image Stabilization, the camera substantially minimizes shake and delivers sharper more precise images. Moreover, Kodak EasyShare Z915 has the Smart Capture Feature which can detect suitable scene modes depending on the environment one is in and thereafter adjust camera settings to produce excellent pics.

 

Users can use the Kodak EasyShare Software to easily add texts or sound tags to photos. Not to mention, it provides an easy way to share because of the Kodak’s EasyShare System.

 

Cons

At 2.5 inches, one of the most noticeable downsides of this camera is the fact that it has a small LCD screen. Keep in mind that the screen is not touch sensitive so this might not be the ideal camera for you if you prefer touchscreen models. Additionally, the AF performance of the Kodak EasyShare Z915 is found to be rather slow.

 

Conclusion

Kodak EasyShare Z915 is a low cost camera with superior zoom function. It will further offer you better manual control than basic point and shoot automatic cameras.
