Kodak EasyShare Z990 12MP Max Digital Camera with 30x Optical Zoom, HD Video Capture and BSI CMOS!

When inspiration strikes, whether in direct sunlight or sitting by a campfire, you want a high-performance camera that makes it a breeze to capture what you see. In that case, you can count on this Kodak EasyShare Z990 MAX camera to deliver crisp, beautiful pictures. Pictures you want to share proudly. Complete with a Schneider Kreuznach Variogon 30x optical zoom lens (28-840mm, 35mm equivalent), 12 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, full manual controls with histogram and 3 inch LCD screen, the Z990 looks to be all the camera that a keen photographer like you would need if a DSLR isn’t a viable option. The optical zoom lens zooms in faster and closer than ever to deliver crisp, steady shots for extraordinary creative performance and thanks to the BSI CMOS sensor you’ll be able to capture every low-light ambience in stunning low-light picture quality with less noise and less blur with no flash needed. BSI stands for Back Side Illuminated and has nothing to do with the buttocks. On a standard sensor, pixels are surrounded by circuitry which transfer the information that the pixels collects through the processor and stores them on the memory card. The circuitry hides a portion of the pixel making it less responsive to light. ISO then needs to be increased to work in low light situations. On a BSI sensor, the circuitry is placed on the back of the sensor meaning the entire pixel is exposed. This means a lower ISO can be used and noise is reduced. Due to the fast f/2.8 28 mm wide-angle lens you can now capture dramatic shots in tight quarters or in front of spectacular landscapes! But the Z990 ability to capture details in low-light conditions and fast-action siutations is also due to the powerful, high ISO up to 6400. The Optical image stabilization will automatically minimize camera shake so you can capture sharp, steady shots when shooting at long zoom ranges. With fast, click-to-capture speed and auto focus you’ll get in on the action without delay and capture that challenging action shot. The clear 76mm HVGA LCD screen has twice the resolution of standard displays and the Kodak Color Science technology takes care of vibrant, crisp display to the smallest detail. True photograph fanatics will love the electronic viewfinder which switches on if you press the EVF/LCD button on the back that makes the experience complete and is a much better option than trying to use the screen in very bright sunlight. You become a better photographer with a smarter camera. Kodak’s innovative Smart Capture feature automatically identifies the scene and adjusts camera settings for a great picture in just about any environment. Intelligent scene detection—analyzes the scene to give you better pictures under various conditions, Intelligent capture control—automatically sets camera settings for clear, sharp pictures even in low light and challenging situations and Intelligent image processing—reduces noise and clears up dark shadows for vibrant, crisp details and true-to-life colors. Besides that you can get creative with advanced camera features like PASM, RAW, creative modes, and film effects, you can also manually adjust all the settings you need. With Kodak’s Share button showing off your shots simultaneously via multiple social networks and e-mail is as simple as can be. But it just starts with taking realy impressive pictures. Cause with the Kodak Z990 you even shoot the best videos in Full HD 1080p with stereo sound, with ease. Inspiration at your fingertips, excitement from your pictures.
