Does this camera have manual focus too?

I am just starting to do research. I want a camera that I can also manually focus, I think any way. I want to be able to decide what I want to have in focus. It seems they all just say autofocus. Does that mean you cannot manually focus, or is just a given that you can?

The specs on Kodak.com indicate that manual focus is supported.

I think there are probably many digital cameras that don't support manual focusing. Or there are some like mine, the Canon A70, that do, but are kind of a pain to use.

The Kodak page says the 880 has an "indicator and enlargement in LCD/EVF" and a "manual focus ring", which sounds pretty good to me.

The P880 has direct manual focus using a mechanical ring on the lens and a magnified central portion of the finder. It works well, on par with pro dSLR systems and in the same manner. You can choose full manual focus with an external push button or set the camera up for manual assisted auto-fcous that kicks in whenever you turn the focus ring.
