Kodak Z915

An average camera that's priced fairly low

Lightweight, sturdy design, 10x optical zoom, good placement of keys, fast performance, well priced

Small LCD display, noisy images, poor lowlight performance, focusing issues, horrible battery life

Expert Review

The Kodak Z915 is an inexpensive high zoom camera having10x optical zoom with a 10 megapixel sensor. The camera offers plenty of other features along with full manual as well as automatic setting options for shooting. Read on for the full review.

Design, build and controls

The Kodak Z915 has a very simple and basic design. It is available in three colour options; all black red and blue. The design of the camera is fairly compact and it feels pretty light as well. The build quality too is good and the camera has a sturdy feel to it. The Z915 has a comfortable design with all the controls at hand. We especially liked the location of the focus, flash and self timer beside the shutter button, which made changing these settings quick and easy.

On the front the camera lens is circled by a chrome finished ring. Right above the lens is the flash. The location allowed the flash to provide proper illumination without getting obstructed by your fingers. On the left of the lens is the microphone and on the right is the LED autofocus assist light.

Hi Prasad, i think the use of Alkaline batteries in Digital cameras should be avoided. Even my Canon A640 which needs 4 AA's doesn't go beyond 40 shots on alkaline cells. After switching to Sanyo Enelops i have getting around 300 shots per charge. I don't feel it's correct to penalise this camera for horrible battery life. Check it out with the Enelope, i am sure you will change the verdict

Dude! Are you sure it takes up the battery in like only 50-60 shots. I mean even a 100 shots is too less. And CIPA states 280 shots (photos only). So I think it would be nice if you guys could follow the CIPA specification and find out the battery life that you are getting. That would be much appreciated man.

ordinary alkaline batteries really dont hold good power as they too have drain effect starting on the selfs itself. Also standard SANYO ENELOPE AA size branded batteries are supposedly widely popular to hold charge after even 300 shots on DSLR cameras. Good charger and branded rechargable batteries should help.

It would be good to know what sensor size these compact cameras have. The image resolution is more of a marketing gimmick. The image quality is what really matters. For majority picnic & party users this cam offers lot of features as a PS camera. For the rest DSLRs are the way to go.
