Digital camera reviews of Kodak EasyShare Z612 6.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Poor repair for this camera.. why sell good with poor repair? This went from 5 star in the beginning to 1 star 6 months later!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this camera 5 1/2 months and it's on it's way to the shop to be repaired the 2nd time. First time they did nothing to it. Not sure what was wrong with the tech.
I bought this for good quality pictures to frame. When I'm ready to photograph it sits in the shop. Would I suggest this camera for a serious photographer? NO I would not. My trip is in 30 days and where is my camera? Not with me!
I'm very disappointed. I thought Kodak had better products and repair set up than this. Buy the extended warranty if you get this camera.
Outside pictures are white. Inside pictures are red/blue lines across.
I have grandchildren on the way and no camera to take them. *sigh*
I could go on but you get my point on this.
Kodak has much proving to me to sell me again.
Digital camera Review: Kodak EasyShare Z612 6.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Zoom
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful pictures. Prints great pictures. Digital camera Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars
Great price
zoom is excellent
easy to use even for non camera buffs like me
clarity is beautiful
different scene options deliver great pix: "snow" captured each flake and a
great shot of my daughter in the snow with fantastic color.
portrait setting gives perfect detail-you feel like you can reach out and touch the subject in the photo
battery life is very long- I have been using my camera for a month and have not had to recharge!
Settings are so easy to use that you actually use all the different options to get the best photo
I bought a 1 GB memory card, so I don't know how many photos you'd hold without that.
I use with Adobe Photoshop, and uploading is a snap.
I have owned some expensive cameras, but this is by far my favorite.
I really can't think of any negatives. I am really happy I researched a lot of cameras and bought this one.
Digital camera Review: Very good camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this to replace an Olympus camera that was pretty much junk from the day it was new. I was hesitant about Kodak because some of their earlier cameras were complicated and hard to use.
I wanted to buy a camera to use for product pictures for business and for use for family photos, vacations and such. My previous cameras have been used only for product pictures because the image quality was fair at best. The prints made from the digital images were not of photo quality in my opinion.
The Z612 was a pleasant surprise. It is easy to use, controls are fairly simple. You do not need an engineering degree to use it. Screen is bright and fairly easy to see even in bright light. The quality of the pictures is great. Zoom is fantastic. The auto focus is a wonderful feature that actually works very well.
The bad - the "easyshare" software pretty much hijacks all of the images on your computer. It installs it's self so that it automatically starts when you boot your computer, changes all of the image icons to the easyshare icon. It does not offer many options for installation or operation. It appears to work OK but it is more of a problem than a problem solver for advanced users. I personally use Photoshop and do not want other generic software trying to be the dominate image editor.
The camera should come with a memory card as well as the internal memory. At this time the memory card is sold seperately which adds another $ 30.00 to the price of the camera.
Camera comes with a neck strap no wrist strap. A wrist strap would be a nice addition to prevent the camera from making it all the way to the ground if it was dropped while in use.
Overall it is a great camera and a great value. I have other digital cameras that cost three times as much that are virtually useless.
Digital camera Review: Best camera I've ever owned.
Summary: 5 Stars
So far, this is the best camera I've ever owned. I chose it over the Kodak z710 because not only did it have a more powerful zoom, 12x as opposed to 10x but the view screen was much bigger. 2.5 inch compared to 2 inch. It doesn't seem like much but that's a big difference in view screens. Also, this one came with a rechargeable battery and charger. The z710 didn't. It's extremely easy to focus and taking pictures with it is a breeze. The battery holds up for long periods of time. My old camera batteries didn't hold up near as long and it was only a 3.2 megapixel camera. This camera definitely offers a lot of bang for your buck. I would buy again in a heartbeat!
