    A super camera!

    I have used many cameras, but this one has features I have never seen in any camera. The camera has a menu for each type of photo-taking, and lacks nothing I would want in a camera. I really enjoy using it.

  • Top critical review

    Got a good deal on this

    We needed a new one at work as the old one wouldn't hold a charge, though that could have been the old rechargeable batteries. And the back to the battery compartment was not attached. So I bought this as a replacement, it's the exact same.

  • Best camera for the money

    This is my second one, and I couldn’t be without it. I wore my on off switch out after 15 years worth of great pictures. This camera can be setup from total point and shoot to everything is manual. Great pictures with great clarity at any size blow ups.

  • Good Camera for the money

    Very good camera for the money. It is not a small camera but fits very well in a Man's hand..thats why I like it. The grip is rubberized which helps to prevent a person dropping it by accident. Again the weight and size are great for me. I intend to use this in my job as a real estate appraiser. Picture quality is better than needed for my use. Field of view is very good for taking pictures indoors of all room sizes.

  • Great Kodak camera

    I bought this camera new 12 yrs. ago. I accidently dropped it and can't find a repair shop to fix it. This camera has always been a favorite of mine. The features are great for a novice photographer. It has many features that a more advanced camera can deliver. I was so happy to find the same product on Ebay. It is like having my "friend" back.

  • Good product lightweight with great features

    I bought this camera to replace one that was stolen. It is an exact duplicate of the stolen camera and works as new. I would buy another if this one is stolen as well.

  • Kodak Easyshare Z981

    I bought this camera when it first came out and loved it. I used it so much that the prongs that kept the battery door closed broke off! The camera I just bought is as described and it also takes wonderful pictures as my old one did. The seller sent me what was described and in a very timely manner. I was quite satisfied with the service I got. Thank you!
