Need help with Kodak Z950

[saphire01]

I read on here that you're supposed to keep it on "P" and to change the mp to 9, and I've done that but I still get the processing screen after 3 shots, and if the little memory card icon is still blinking, I will get the processing screen after each consecutive shot until I've waited at least 15-20. I'm not sure what else I can try, I really want to take shot after shot with my new baby and I know its a good camera but this is really making me think of returning it. Any suggestions?

what class is your sd card? I have class 4 and i'm able to take 4 pictures straight @ 9mp the 5th photo gets processing message which last for half a second.

Yeah this camera isn't perfect and kodak has no plans to fix.. so yeah return it! i'm quite happy with it especially since i paid only $100 for it

I'm not sure how to tell for sure what class it is but it does have a small 4 on the front. Its the 8gb PNY sdhc HD card that was on sale for 14.99 at best buy on black friday, so I'm sur it wasn't a 6 or 10 class. I'm thinking about getting the Z915 instead because I like the fact that it has continuous shot capability and it has just as good reviews as the Z950 on amazon. I really don't care for the HD video on the Z950 much and rather prefer to take faster multiple shots. This is really my only gripe about this camera if I can fix it. Is the Z915 worth changing to for the smaller screen and bulkier body?

yeah sure.. z915 is a great choice. They are practically identical cameras. I am not sure but that's what i've been hearing about z915.

If you want to take photo after photo as fast as possible, the Kodak Z950 will not do it. That kind of capability costs more. Something like the Canon SD-4500 is a better choice, allbeit at a higher price.

It sounds like you should return the Kodak Z950.

I bought the pny professional class 10 memory card and it does really seem to help. There's of course still a little delay but I think its fine for my speed. As I learn to use the camera more ill probably be more satisfied with it.
