The Kodak EasyShare Max Z990 was released in 2011 with a 12 MP BSI CMOS sensor. It’s considered a bridge camera, a compact digital with some features and styling of a larger DSLR. It has a 30x optical image stabilized lens made in Germany. I love the bold, bright, and contrasty photos it captures.
Fernandina Beach lifeguard Gavin is standing watch over the beaches of Amelia Island, Florida.Busy beach.My three ‘test’ palms.More expansive view – note the three ‘test’ palms.Wide angle of about 28mm.Telephoto at around 800mm.HDR setting.Kodak film simulation of ‘Vivid’ is closely associated with Kodacolor film. Sharp and contrasty.This is a lifeguard stand shot with the camera’s ‘HDR’ setting. Notice how the yellow flag shows movement since HDR takes three images in succession and then combines them into one image.
The Kodak EasyShare Max Z990 is a worthy digital camera from the early 2010s. At 12 MP, it has plenty of resolution for most applications, and its superzoom lens (28-840mm) blows away most other cameras in its class. By the way, all these images are straight from the camera – no post-processing. JPEGs can be sharp and colorful.
