In August 2005 Kodak announced a new class of 'advanced digital cameras' with the introduction of the P series, which it hopes will provide an alternative to entry-level DSLRs. The EasyShare P850, which has an image-stabilized 12x zoom Schneider-Kreuznach lens (36-432mm 35mm equiv), is a direct competitor to the likes of Canon's S2 IS, Sony's H1 and Panasonic's FZ20. As well as the new image stabilizing feature the P850 boasts RAW file capture and a flash hot shoe, plus a real wealth of photographic controls.

IN-DEPTH review of the Kodak EasyShare P850 digital camera, with actual sample images, and a detailed data sheet.
A pretty solid advanced camera. It is functional, comfortable, has all the features one could expect, and above average sharpness. It is only let down by overly saturated pictures.
Kodak EasyShare P850
Is the best Kodak can offer at the upper end of the market?
The P850 is the first of Kodak's new series of 'Performance' digicams and the first model with a 12x optical zoom lens. Made by Schneider-Kreuznach, this lens includes an optical image stabiliser and has a threaded mount for fitting optional wide and tele converter lenses or a lens filter. The lens is reasonably fast (f2.8 at the wide position and f3.7 for tele) and covers a focal length range equivalent to 36-432mm in 35mm format.
Features & Controls The P850 is equipped with a 12x optical 36-432mm (35mm equiv), f/2.8 - f/3.7, professional-quality Schneider-KREUZNACH VARIOGON zoom lens. This
