Launched in 2009, it was part of Kodak's EasyShare line and catered to both amateur photographers and enthusiasts looking for a reliable camera with enhanced capabilities.

This high-resolution sensor allows users to take large prints without a loss in quality, making it suitable for various photography needs.

Additionally, it includes a wide assortment of scene modes, allowing users to select specific settings tailored for different shooting situations like portraits, landscapes, and fireworks.

The Z950 features high-definition video recording capabilities, allowing users to capture moments in 720p at 30 frames per second. This was an appealing aspect for those who wished to document events beyond still photography. The camera also supports an in-camera editing feature, enabling users to enhance images without the need for external software.

In terms of connectivity, the Kodak Z950 employs the EasyShare system, enabling simple sharing of photos and videos through various platforms. This made it easy for users to connect the camera to their computers or directly to printers for quick photo printing.
