The camera sucks.
The resolution's been bumped up to 14 megapixels, but the photo quality is predictably worse than the 12-megapixel Z980. Although I typically have no major issues with Kodak's image processing, this model is inconsistent with color and exposure. Shooting performance is decent, mainly because CCD-sensor-based megazooms all have a tendency to perform slowly
the 26mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with a 26x zoom, is disappointing, with very visible barrel distortion that Kodak doesn't correct for in its JPEG processing
