GREAT CAMERA
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought my first Z990 several years ago. After using it awhile I went and bought a second z990 for a backup. I have two young great grandsons, and one of the features I REALLY like is the very short lag time (time between shutter press and actual photo taking. I had been using an expensive Nikon and losing many shots because the instant expression on their face was gone before the NIKON got down to really taking a photo. I tell my wife, "if I can see it this camera can photograph it." The 30X zoom should be adequate for nearly everyone.
A couple of downsides - this camera is heavy, likely around two pounds when loaded with 4 AA batteries. The camera is not designed for screw-in filters, and I like to use them. The camera says "Kodak" on it, and some people consider that to be the mark of an amateur.
When travelling I normally carry a pocket size CANON and the Kodak.
