» Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS review
|
|
The Z1085 is a 10.0-megapixel compact camera featuring a 5x zoom optically stabilised lens, a 2.5-inch 230k LCD monitor and manual exposure options, and is currently available direct from Kodak's website for GBP149.99, although it is so new that few other shops are offering it yet. There are surprisingly few cameras that match this specification. Given its plastic body, AA batteries and longer zoom a tempting comparison would be something from Canon's PowerShot A-series, such as the 8-megapixel, 6x zoom A720 IS (GBP155), however a better match would be the Panasonic DMC-LZ10 (GBP170), or the Samsung S1050 (GBP150).

The new MiniDigi AF (auto focus) 5.0 has been given some significant performance upgrades, including a 5MP image file from a 3MP CMOS sensor; auto focus (between 10CM and infinity); and a clear 1.1 inch TFT, which allows you to preview and review images on a very clear 1.1 inch monitor, which is located at the top of the camera as it is on the full-sized Rolleiflex TLR.

» The Flying Camera
|
|
The title should be enough to explain what this is. In case it isn’t, it’s a flying stick with a camera! Rub it between your palms to get some kinetic energy stored up. Then release and the Flying Stick automatically takes pictures at set intervals. You know what they say, everybody looks 5 lb lighter when photographed from above.
No mention of specs like camera resolution or memory but hey it’s a concept. If anything, it’s supposed to get your mind thinking, not criticizing.
