A better choice is the Z981 (also discontinued liked the Z980) or the new Z990. Both of these other models handle noise MUCH better than the old Z980. In fact, the Z990 is a very significantly better camera. Picture quality and noise reduction is MUCH greater because there is an improved sensor in the Z990.
@daniellepimpin07 i started photography last week and i got this cam it is really good on automatic to start and for the move advanced u can mack your own settings in manual
What a shitty review. I feel bad for low-level photography consumers because they have to deal with this shit.. where everything is "great and amazing and beautiful."
HEY ppl , I am new to photoshooting , I am gonna make some kind of classes about photographing and I wanna know if this is approppriate for me .. [SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH LOL]
why didnt she mention the Vertical Grip or show us where the normal Zoom in / out is ... that is important. what about a battery charger, does it come with an external separate Recharger ?
That has to do with the aperture. The highest the aperture (lower f number), the lower your depth of field, which means that your focus is on the foreground therefore your background will be blurred.
Its like watching a philistine trying to pass as a curator! She doesn't sound at all credible and its to the point of being distracting. And yeah, "Buh-'inn" - Christ!
Lol, so because she's a woman, you guys have to analyze her to death ? It's not about her hair, or how she pronounces a word, it's a camera review. What's with the harsh criticism ? I already know if it were a guy no one would be talking about how it looks like his breath stinks, or that his hairline is receding...
Wait a minute...She said; "Children are prone to red-eye"....Ummm...I think that was a funny way to describe the "red-eye" problems people have when shooting pictures...lol!! Didn't know pictures with children in them vs pictures with adults were more "prone to have red-eye problems"..... To me,....eyes are eyes,....someone correct me please!!
@Haze1692 It have various options specially in the PASM modes: 1.- automatic focus. 2.- (2.1.-optional selectable zone for medition of the focus, or 2.2= Complete scene medition for the focus). 3.- manual focus... but is not a manual focus, its a semi-manual because you change it through the interface... additionally you can select the macro, supermacro or normal for a short times in the focusing!
@ohmydanielle I have one of this, its very powerfull with the HD videos specially for the zoom (macro, supermacro, normal) but the color chip in automatic mode of photos mode is very awful, i currently use the kodak z740 for photo's and the z980 for hd videos (sd strandar size memory is needed for rec in HD ).
@ohmydanielle You need to take control over the PASM modes for get a a little acceptable Quality but continuous left much to be desired. (much noise in the contours) Have 2 continuous shot mode (5/1seg< looks li ke a poor cel phone and the continue mode its more slow but bigger sizes) the obturator sound is very quiet than the z940!
@adankarrito Yeah i have it too! its a motorized flash!! when you take a distant picture, the flash light get back inside the plastic, and the frontal ¿mica? < i dont know how to say it, because is transparent plastic, not glass, with rounding lines magnifies the light!!
zeezy share, butun, was this girl hired because she "knows" someone at Tiger Direct? She sure can't speak for anything. But I am getting this camera soon and I am excited, regarless of not being to speak correctly.
So basically it can take a better picture than my canon rebel xsi 12mp with a 300mm IS lens?
I understand its an autofocus, but I also have a kodak z650 and it takes almost as good of pictures at close range as my 1100 dollar canon. Could this z980 really keep up with my rebel xsi and 300mm IS lens?
I had z650... it was the BEST CAMERA EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had nikon cannon... every camera that supposed to be "THE BEST" .. no camera got as far as Z650!!! Killer pictures actually!!!!
chick... a camera is not just a "zoom tool", i´m not spying my neighbors through the window.... anyway, if you want you can add a lens to, even with a higher range... so in that way they can be compared...
@shigalbigal errr ... and you mean...? forget it mate, it was a year ago, Sam probably knows already what's that "beautiful flowers" mode for, i know how to spell right (thanks for the observation, thank you i've improved my english ;)), kodak is releasing more cameras... and you... oh, you're still complaining about an old yt comment... yeah, THAT IS what a real fag do.
now, i don't have the need to play along with this, so get lost, i'm not replying to a fag. Thanks and see'ya.
have you ever head of Schneider lenses, cause i am a photographer business and have never heard of them (for stills images) they do a lot of video camera lenses
I have nothing against her doing videos on computertv.. but she shouldnt be doing product reviews.. she doesnt know what shes talking about.. like how she spells out "WLAN" .. its wireless lan .. aka wifi! quit spelling it out -.-
I have the z812is. It takes BEAUTIFUL amature photos and has a 12x optical zoom. The BIG problem is the video mode. The z812is CLAIMS to do HD quality video, BUT - the audio quality SUCKS in videos. It has a built-in stereo mic, but it does a PISS poor job with audio. As I said - photos look SO good, but it's DEFINATELY a consumer camera.
Concerts? With that small a sensor? Ha good luck with the noise on your image!
Still it has an use, bird, events where there is enough light [outside concerts maybe] and so on.
24x zoom well it helps. I do suggest whoever is interrested in this model to see pictures shot with it. And read reviews though I like to see an F2,8. It probably won't sustain in the full range though ;)
