From its headquarters in Rochester, New York, Eastman Kodak Co. has today announced a new long-zoom digital camera for its EasyShare lineup.

Only limited specifications were available for the Kodak Z915 at press time, but we do know that it will be based around a Kodak Retinar-branded 10x zoom lens with optical image stabilization in front of a ten megapixel image sensor. With no optical viewfinder on offer, the Kodak EasyShare Z915 user will frame and review their images on a 2.5" indoor / outdoor display. Operating modes will include program, aperture- and shutter-priority, manual, and "Smart Capture". This last mode will automatically select a relevant scene mode after analysis of the framed scene. Power will be provided by AA batteries, and images will be stored on SD or SDHC memory cards.

The Kodak Z915 will ship from April 2009, priced at around US$200. Body colors will include red, blue, black and gray.
