The innovative Kodak EasyShare P880 zoom digital camera brings in-demand Kodak technologies and features to serious photographers, setting a new price-to-performance benchmark. It provides more expansive picture-taking capability with a 24-140mm (35mm equivalent) wide-angle, f2.8-f4.1, professional-quality Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon zoom lens. The 24mm wide angle setting is ideal for landscape photography, allowing a person to get closer to subjects, while contributing to greater sense of place by “pulling in” foreground objects with greater depth of field. It’s also ideal for interior photography, where barriers such as walls typically make it difficult to get all desired subjects into a shot. Creative photographers can also shoot with this wide perspective for unique portraiture, or to capture a greater scenic expanse for later cropping.

Digital TrendsThe Kodak EasyShare P880 is a digicam designed for someone who wants many D-SLR features but isn’t quite ready to commit to interchangeable lens and a high price. |

Imaging ResourceInevitably, we found a few minor things to complain about, in particular wishing for more sure-footed autofocusing under dim lighting and a quicker shutter response, but taken as a whole, it’s a highly capable camera with great optics and excellent color, and something of a bargain compared with some of the models it competes with. |

Digital Photography ReviewIn conclusion then, the P880 is well worth consideration if you want a true wide angle zoom built into your camera, and though it’s not going to replace a digital SLR (despite the implication in Kodak’s publicity materials), and it only just falls short of a highly recommended. |

Steve's DigicamsBut if you rarely capture action shots, the P880’s high resolution, image quality, low light performance and wide angle zoom lens may be just what you need for shooting family portraits, vacation landscapes and short movie clips. While its advanced features will appeal mainly to the experienced photographer, novices will easily produce terrific images using the automatic and scene modes and grow their skills by experimenting with its versatile features. |

IT ReviewsThe EasyShare P880 can extend from a fully-automatic, point-and-shoot camera to one where you can take over some or all of its set-up yourself. Its ergonomics aren’t great, but it takes a well-defined image with its 24mm wide-angle lens and offers plenty of scope for indoor shots, thanks to hot-shoe and plug-in flash options. |

DigitalCameraInfo.comThe Kodak EasyShare P880 is perhaps the most difficult to use of the EasyShares. It isn’t incredibly difficult to figure out, but its buttons are scattered and some are stiff and hard to move. The 8 megapixel digital camera is shaped like an SLR, but has many characteristics typical of a compact model. |

ThinkCameraHowever, if you start comparing it to a DSLR then you will probably be disappointed. The speed of operation is decent for a bridge camera but seems glacial next to even an entry level DSLR. But if you just want an easy to use camera that will grow with you and provide trouble free use then the Kodak P880 is well worth a look – especially if you want a wide angle lens. |

Good Gear GuideThe Kodak P880 would have been a great camera but for problems with image quality, and massive write times for the advanced file formats. |

PC MagThe Kodak EasyShare P880 is an enthusiast camera with several fancy features and good video capabilities, but it doesn’t quite cut the mustard on some of the basics. |
