Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Kodak Z915 is a decent little workhorse camera with a surprising number of adjustable controls.You have to have certain settings active before you can access some others, so that's a little confusing, and it definitely wasn't my first choice.But for the money, it's a nice little camera that takes very nice pictures.
Regarding this "bundle," I would not recommend it.The items included with the camera include a completely worthless camera bag that is so big and so poorly padded that I would never trust it to protect anything electronic.As well, the word "bundle" would suggest to me a manufacturer's bundle.Instead, I got a bunch of generic stuff thrown in a plain cardboard box.The picture for this product is misleading, and the items included with the camera feel cheap and shoddy - like something you'd find in a fast food child's meal.
I initially wanted to return the entire package, and - to be fair - Big VALUE Inc. told me I could, but I was hesitant because I was only told to return all items before a refund could be processed.They did not tell me whether it would be a full or partial refund, or how long I would have to wait.No postage due shipping label was offered (as Amazon has so kindly done on the few occasions I've returned something purchased directly through them), and I feel there was a lack of professionalism all around.
While I give Big VALUE Inc. full points for speedy service, I feel misled by the "bundle" picture, and the return permission felt a little too cryptic to me.I decided to keep the camera because the prospect of returning it felt like a back-alley deal.
As for the camera itself, it also feels a little bit like a child's toy, not solid and sturdy like the Canon point-and-shoots I've had the privilege of operating.Alas, I can't afford Canon, and this camera so far seems worth the small investment I would have made had I purchased it separately.I'm impressed by the image stabilization and optical zoom, and its ability to resolve fine detail.The pictures are a wonderful improvement over my 3.2 megapixel dinosaur, and its ability to take crystal clear photos with flash, without, in low light, in high light, and even in complete darkness is worth an honorable mention.You can shoot in vibrant, regular or low color, black and white, and sepia.
If I had it to do all over again, would I buy from Big VALUE Inc?I don't think I would.Would I recommend the camera by itself?Sure, but if I had do-overs with the same amount of money, I think I'd buy a more expensive model, and I'd buy direct from Amazon to get the Free Super Saver Shipping.Thanks for reading.
