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 first two models are the EasyShare P850 (reviewed December 2005), and the camera on review here, the EasyShare P880. The 8 megapixel P880 offers a fairly unique mix of features, due in no small part to the wideangle 24-140mm equivalent 5.8x zoom. Throw in raw capture, full photographic control and a 2.5-inch screen and you have what - on paper - looks like a very compelling mix of features, though with a price tag of just under $600 it needs to impress if it's going to provide a real alternative to a digital SLR. Let's find out if the P880 lives up to its promise, starting with a quick run-down of the key selling points:

Detailed review of Kodak EasyShare P880, with actual sample images, and a detailed data sheet.
The Kodak P880 would have been a great camera but for problems with image quality, and massive write times for the advanced file formats.
The Kodak EasyShare Z980 is the latest super-zoom camera on the block, offering a 24x image-stabilized optical lens with a remarkable 26-624mm focal length. Other key features include a 1cm macro mode, electronic viewfinder, PASM shooting modes, external flash hotshoe and RAW file support. With an official price of $399 / £379, can the Kodak EasyShare Z980 challenge the likes of the Panasonic DMC-FZ28, Olympus SP-590UZ, Nikon Coolpix P90 and Canon PowerShot SX1/10 IS?
