Kodak Z981

I bought (and returned) a Sony Cybershot last week because I was utterly unimpressed with the lens and image quality. I decided to try another 14MP camera from costco - this time the Kodak z981. The z981 has a Schneider-Kreuznach lens (like my z760) - I'm hoping for better image quality and decent action shots.
Here's what I was able to get this afternoon before heading out:

Teller with the bumper

Murphy on the chase (don't worry, the squirrel won).

Murphy head shot. Yes, his eyelashes are really that blonde, and yes he does look a bit like a golden retriever muppet.

The jury is still out. I've got some time to continue playing with it.
