I bought this when I decided to get back into photography after several years off.
It has a good focal range (although something a little wider would be preferred) and the user interface is outstanding.
The EasyShare software (not the camera's fault) could offer some more options, but it's generally pretty good.
Size is perfect for carrying around.
I did invest in an after-market shade for the view screen since it's almost impossible to see in bright light without some assistance.

Just got the z915- love the click to capture speed, burst feature and zoom! So far everything about it is great, except the playback audio, both in video and voice tags. The volume on the menu is set at high and it only plays a bit louder on the laptop even at full volume. Also need to figure out how to keep focus when zooming while in video mode...

Surprisingly pleased
I have had probably ten different digital cameras over the last ten years, mostly Kodak, although the most recent ones were Canon. I was spoiled with the 12x optical zoom on my Kodak Z1012 and the clear, sharp images it produced. I don't want to carry it in my purse every day though! I recently purchased a Canon SX110, which is small enough to carry daily and takes great photos; however, it doesn't allow for a date stamp except at 1600x1200 resolution. After researching for several days online, I purchased a Kodak Z915 today. Took it straight to the park and played with it. Got some fantastic photos today. I mean, I was surprisingly truly impressed by the clear, sharp images I got today for a relatively inexpensive camera. I love the 10x zoom -- can't even imagine owning a camera with less after having that feature for a couple of years now. This one does all that I need and does it well. The movie mode seemed to have tiny shifts in focus while recording, but I don't use the video features on my cameras too often, so not a concern for me. I may play with it some more and see if some tweaking of settings will allow for a smoother playback. Again, can't say enough how happy I am with the image quality and that's my main requirement.
