Kodak Z 915

19 Nov, 2009, 2:59 pm IST | Dhruv Dutt | Point and Shoot

With the dimensions of 90 x 64 x 39 mm and weighing at 194g, the Z 915 is not compact, but one can easily make space for it in a shoulder bag or hand bag. The Z 915 comes in three colors red, blue and black. The camera has a complete plastic body with variations to the grip of the camera, which has� matte finish to it and the plastic surrounding the LCD screen on the back has a glossy finish to it, but otherwise the body of the camera feels a bit- cheap.

The front of the camera has the regular look of a basic consumer camera. It features a 10x optical lens with an aperture range of F3.5 - F4.8. and a sensor resolution of 10 megapixels. The camera runs on the regular 2xAA batteries so constant travelers can be at ease as they can buy replacements at just about any store.

It has mode dial for changing the camera modes and to its right is the shutter button.� Just above the selection dial, is a small on/off button.� The zoom lever is a flimsy plastic knob surrounding the shutter button which feels really bad. Next to the shutter button are three shortcut buttons for flash, macro and self timer.

At the facing side of the camera, we have the 2.5 inch LCD screen. Even with a pixel count of 230,000 dots, the image quality on the display doesn’t look that good. Just next to the LCD are four buttons placed vertically — Delete, Basic settings, Information and Play button. Next to these buttons is the 4 way navigation console with the ‘Ok’ button in the center. The 4 way navigation console doesn’t have any short cuts assigned to it as seen in other cameras. It’s just for basic navigation use for basic and manual settings, etc.
