It is rather hard for us to let go of a camera that promises an optical zoom as powerful as 26x the analogue, 35mm equivalent of that range would be from 26-676mm! The Kodak Easyshare Z981 is one prosumer (consumer as well as professional) camera that comes with a zoom lens that bears the Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon brand. Also, its 14.1mp image sensing device offers more or less professional quality pictures. Its sensitivity ranges from 64 to 6400 ISO, which allows higher sensitivity to even a little bit of light.
Design and FunctioningDo not blame yourself if you begin to consider the Kodak Easyshare Z981 as a professional style SLR camera that will be hard to operate. This classic Prosumer type camera comes with some professional features of a professional SLR camera and the user friendly nature of most compact cameras. Equipped with a powerful zoom range of 26x optical zoom, this camera allows the user to take pictures in even super macro mode of 0.01m to 0,.3 meters range. Its autofocus modes include normal, macro, super macro, infinity and manual, in which the user can make his or her own settings. It also comes with colour temperature adjustments in white balance modes which incorporate auto white balance, daylight, tungsten, fluorescent and open shade. Its shutter speed also has a wide range, extending from 16 seconds to 1/2000th of a second. Another exciting feature is an internal memory of about 64 MB that supports both SD and SDHC storage cards.
