Camera Overview — Kodak EasyShare Z980

The Kodak EasyShare Z980 is a 12MP point-and-shoot camera built around a 1/2.3-inch sensor and designed to cover a wide range of shooting scenarios. It offers an ISO range spanning 64 to 6400, giving photographers flexibility from bright daylight to lower-light conditions. Image stabilization is handled by a Sensor-Shift (IBIS) system, helping to reduce camera shake during handheld shooting.

For composing and reviewing shots, the camera provides both a 3.0-inch TFT LCD display at 201,000 dots resolution and an Electronic Viewfinder, giving users two options depending on lighting or personal preference. Autofocus uses Contrast Detection with 25 focus points across the frame. Video capture tops out at 30fps with 8-bit color depth.

The camera stores images and video on SD and SDHC cards and connects to a computer via USB. Powered by four AA batteries — with NiMH recommended — the camera is rated for approximately 400 shots per charge under CIPA standards. The body measures 124 x 91 x 105 mm, weighs 445g, and is constructed from plastic with no weather sealing.

A built-in pop-up flash is included, and a Standard ISO hot shoe allows for external flash attachment. Color profile options include Standard, Black & White, and Sepia.
