Kodak EasyShare P880

Performance
The Kodak EasyShare P880 is a mixed bag when it comes to shooting speed; while it is a relatively quick performer in JPEG mode, it is excruciatingly slow in RAW and TIFF modes.

With no electronic zoom lens to rack out at start-up, the camera can capture its first frame after only 2.3 seconds. While a mere 1.8 seconds pass between two JPEGs taken successively and 3.3 seconds when using flash, 18.1 seconds must pass between RAW files; an epoch of 30.1 seconds must pass between those big TIFFs. Processing a RAW file takes 30 seconds per frame.

The EasyShare P880 has very respectable continuous-shooting rates, at 1.4fps at full resolution and a fast 5.1fps at the lowest resolution, though the buffer runs out after 40 frames. Shutter lag is also very respectable in optimal lighting--0.6 second--though a more middling 1.2 seconds in low-contrast conditions.
