DPReview has a detailed review of the new Kodak EasyShare P-Series digital cameras, the EasyShare P850 and the wide angle lens EasyShare P880. Both have impressive specs yet are surprisingly reasonably priced for what they offer. From DPReview:

Kodak has announced a new class of ‘advanced digital cameras’ today with the introduction of the P series, which it hopes, will provide an alternative to the DSLRs. The flagship of the range is the 24 mm wide angle lens EasyShare P880, which offers 8 megapixels, manual zoom ring and full manual control. The second camera in the range is the EasyShare P850, which has an image stabilized 12x zoom Schneider-Kreuznach lens, 36-432mm (35mm equiv). Both cameras can record RAW files and include a hot shoe. The EasyShare P880 wil be available beginning this September priced $599, while the EasyShare P850 is available at the beginning of this month, priced $499.
