Kodak Easyshare Max Z990 Review; Well Featured, But Falls Behind on Performance

So, as you may already know, I recently purchased a Kodak EasyShare Max Z990 camera. It had pretty great features including a 12 megapixel BSI-CMOS sensor, 30x optical zoom, 1080p video recording, full manual settings, and a variety of other features. I really liked the camera on paper; I mean, it has better features than any other camera in the same price range. I received the camera, and it worked great upon light inspection. Picture quality was amazing and I really liked the features. The only problem was that the camera was slow. It would randomly freeze and become unresponsive, and I had absolutely no idea why. I tried replacing my SD card with a class 10 card, but that did not help. I even got a replacement hoping that it was just my unit having issues, but that still did not fix it, so I decided to return the camera. It took great low-light photos, amazing video with stereo audio, and had pretty much anything that you could ask for in this class of camera. The only problem was that it was slow, which caused me to miss a lot of shots while I was waiting for it to become responsive again. Since I returned the camera, I didn’t even have time to do a full review. All I can tell you is that the camera takes great pictures and videos, has great features, and sells for a pretty good price, but it’s *really* slow, and causes you to miss a lot of good shots. I don’t think that the features make up for that, and I think that I will be purchasing another camera, so expect that review soon. P.S. It won’t be a Kodak, because when a brand fails on me once, I don’t consider that brand again.
