Kodak Z650

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Mar 13, 2006 11:36PM PST

The Kodak Z650 is very new and has not been reviewed by any of the big name reviewers yet.

But it appears to be a 6 megapixel version of the Z740. It does have the exact same lens.

The reviewers of the Z740 stated that the images were a little soft (meaning not razor sharp). They also complained about the over agressive .jpg compression used by Kodak.

For a business camera.....I would pass it by.

I don't know exactly what you are planning to do with the camera.
That would be essential before recommending a camera.

I am wondering why you need a camera with a 10X zoom.
That really cuts down on the camera choices available.
