Pros: Good Image Quality, Easy To Use, Short Lag Time, Good in Low Light, Great Zoom, Large Clear LCD, Good Image Stabilization
Cons:
Other Comments: Have had this camera about six weeks and I like it even more than my previous Kodak. Easy to use, the contrast and colors of images are incredible, even in low light and nightime. Not 100% great pictures but I have found no limits in the places I will attempt pictures...truly a real point and shoot camera with great results most of the time for people with NO talent...me.

EasyShare Z981 14MP 3" LCD 26x Zoom Digital Camera (Black)
(KDZ981)
Pros: Large Clear LCD, Good Image Stabilization, Great Zoom, Good in Low Light, Easy To Use, Good Image Quality, Nice Body Color
Cons:
Other Comments: GREAT CAMERA, I went to the N rim of the Grand Canyon over Labor Day 2010. I took 75 photos in different day scenes, (Sunrise thru night time shots). I also took my old Minolta SLR with a 28-310mm Zoom Lens using 800 ISO film. The Kodak Z981 with the zoom capability took better photos during the day and at night. I also took great photos on the strip in Las Vegas at night.
I would recommend this as an outstanding camera to those who want great shots

A "Do-It-All" camera
By Firecop on

Review submitted for
Kodak
EasyShare Z981 14MP 3" LCD 26x Zoom Digital Camera (Black)
(KDZ981)
Pros: Good Image Stabilization, Great Zoom, Lightweight
Cons: Difficult to learn, Short Battery Life
Other Comments: I wanted to upgrade to this camera from the Z650 to take advantage of the increase in megapixels, so I asked for this camera as a gift. I am impressed with the SmartCapture and it's ability to select the correct settings. I wanted a camera that would take great pictures all on it's own while I learn how to use it to it's fullest potential, and this one fit the bill perfectly! I was able to start taking photos immediately after charging the batteries. I can take all the time I want to learn the nuances, but I don't have to sacrifice photo ops just because I have a new camera!
The ability to take good stills such as protraits, flowers, etc is outstanding for a camera in this price range.
The zoom is fabulous! I am more than willing to lose photo quality for the right shot! I would rather get the shot than bypass a shot just because it may not be poster quality. That said, you lose a lot of quality when you max out the zoom.
This one seems to be a little more difficult to use, even though it is a replacement for an older Kodak camera. It takes more steps to get to some of the settings, but some of the settings you use most are easier to access.
During the first few hours of use, I had to pull out the batteries and do a "hard reset". I don't know why, but it just "locked up" and wouldn't do anything. I've only had to do this once, so maybe just a "brain poot".
I love the added handle for shooting the camera from it's side (portrait). Even with years of practice holding a camera sideways, this made it super easy to get a properly aligned photo. I don't need to use the "straighten" function as much to fix my pics on the computer!
I still have not been able to get the share function to work. I cannot send emails or post to any social sites. I have searched online for support, but cannot find an answer.
Yes, I recommend this product
