Kodak to release new Ultra-Zoom Z-series Camera

Kodak has added a new super zoom camera to its line of digital cameras called the Kodak EasyShare Z1015 IS. The new camera has a 15x Schneider-Kreuznach Varigon optical zoom lens with image stabilization. The lens has a wide angle setting of 28mm as well to capture dramatic shots in tight quarters or in front of spectacular landscapes.

The Z1015 IS has a 10MP sensor and features a best in class 0.22 second click-to-capture speed for fast action shots. The camera also has Kodak’s Smart Capture feature which automatically adjusts settings for the best image in a given scene. That means that the Kodak EasyShare Z1015 IS can capture the details in low light conditions and fast action situations. The camera automatically selects from ISO 80 to ISO 3200 based on lighting conditions. ISO sensitivity is up to ISO 6400 at 3MP.

The Z1015 IS is part of the KODAK EASYSHARE System, so sharing your pictures is amazingly simple. All you have to do is just press Share. English, French, and German photo card templates turn pictures into 4— 6 in. (10 — 15 cm) announcements, invitations, holiday cards, and more, right at home.
