Kodak has been focusing on rather simple digital cameras for many years. But it is known to everyone that technologies are growing fast and customers start to grow out of starter models. This evident tendency made Kodak to expand its offerings to include higher end features and SLR-like qualities. Just look at the innovative Kodak EasyShare P850 Digital Camera. It features 5.1 megapixels and an optically stabilized 12x zoom lens. At the same time, this camera, when being hi-tech and using latest technologies, remain easy use and handling. The P850 model also has elements from other Kodak’s compact models: a ruby-colored Share button, a large 2.5-inch LCD screen and 16 scene modes. ... read more Design
The Kodak EasyShare P850’s design is created to look and feel a DSLR while at the same time remain a very compact model. The handling is much greater if compared to the most compact models; the grip is more comfortable with its shapely curves and rubber surfaces. The rubber feels very good to the touch. The rest of the camera body is constructed of plastic.
Size
The dimension of the camera is the following: 4.3 x 3.3 x 2.8 inches. It  weighs less that many analogous cameras from other manufacturers. Kodak EasyShare P850 Camera runs on a light lithium-ion battery. If without a battery, the camera weighs a mere 14.2 ounces. It is light and stable enough to be held with one hand, although two hands are recommended. This model is very compact if compared to other ultra-zoom models, but make sure that you carry it in a bag for safety.
Handling
The shape of the Kodak P850’s is designed especially for easy and comfortable handling. The base of the camera is wide and balanced so users can successfully support the camera from beneath. The hand grip has a nice curve on its front with a chrome lip and avoids the  slipping of the fingers back around the camera. The lip is surrounded by a rubber material which makes gripping easy and worry-free. The eyecup is positioned very comfortable in order to avoid major collisions between the user’s nose and the LCD screen. The Kodak EasyShare P850 also has a few slopes in its plastic housing that are aimed at making handling more comfortable.
