Video: Brian Fox of Eastman Kodak goes over the appeal of the Kodak Z980 prosumer digital camera.

You want more power than a pocket point-and-shoot camera offers, but you don’t want the difficult settings or high price of a professional DSLR. What do you do? If you listen to Kodak, the answer is to go for the Z980.

This prosumer camera has a strong, 24x zoom for zeroing in on little Johnny or Janey in the middle of a middle of a knot of soccer players. A vertical shutter button helps make portrait-oriented shots a snap (ugh). And a hotshoe up top lets you add a professional flash for extended range. And unlike the DSLR set, the camera is a median $399. This is certainly no Last Gadget contender, but it appears to be a decent camera on the surface.

How it works:

We welcome any and all 'hot' products slated to appear at CES. Our experts screen them. They'll continue to narrow the list until we get to a Top 25 and then a Top 10. We'll also conduct a online vote among the Top 25 to determine a "people's winner." The Top 10 will appear at a CES supersession where a live voting audience will determine which deserves to be the Last Gadget Standing.

When: Saturday, 10:30 a.m., Jan. 9, 2010

Where: Room N255-257, LVCC, North Hall, 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
