Kodak Z885 with ISO 8000
Monday, May 14, 2007
After releasing Schneider-Kreuznach lens cameras, Kodak is about to hit the market with the new Z885 camera that is capable of taking 2.2 Megapixel pictures with ISO 8000 level. Yes you read it right it's 8 and three zeros. The ISO 8000 is too much to digest ;), but well it should be good enough for small pics taken indoor or in dark areas, as ISO level 6400 and 8000 are availalbe only for 2.2 MP, 2.1 MP, and 1.2 MP setting in P/M mode.
Well a casual non-professional user does not need all the megapixels other cameras generally offer; usually 2-3 megapixels is good enough for every day shoot-n-click cameras. If you have seen those pics clicked by Mars Rover, you might be amazed to know that it was clicked with a one megapixel camera. With such a high ISO level and 5X optical zoom, Kodak Z885 can be a big hit only if the image at such high ISO levels are non-grainy and maintains decent contrast.

[EDIT] The new Olympus FE-250 boasts ISO 10000 at 3MP.
