Digital camera reviews of Kodak Easyshare Z612 6.1 MP Digital Camera with 12xOptical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Amazing Camera...Amazing Zoom
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a digital camera that I could zoom onto the field of my nephew playing football and other sporting activities far away. I did extensive research on all kinds of different cameras and finally chose this one. I am SO glad I did. Thousands of extremely clear pictures and hundreds of zoomed (!) videos later I know I made the right decision for me. If you are focused on zoom and clarity you will enjoy this.Digital camera Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered my Kodak Z612 a few weeks ago here on Amazon. So far I'm really happy with it. The colors are brilliant, focus is pretty spot on and the zoom is simply amazing. I've still got to sensibly fool around with the manual settings (meaning that I've already done some random fooling around with interesting results).
Keep in mind this is not a pocket fit and is aimed towards people who take their photography seriously or are developing a serious interest in this field.
The screen is a major fingerprint magnet and I now regret taking off the thin plastic sheet over the screen. Another negative I noticed is that during video recording the mic picks up a lot of sound from the zoom motors and that there is substantial blurring while you are zooming during a video shoot. I'm not sure if these are standard problems that come with video recording with digicams but its not a major issue for me; since I only use it to shoot 1-2 minute clips of my son. I also turned off the Continuous Focus option in favor of One Time Focus since the lens would constantly be adjusting and readjusting and making sounds at every slight movement and it would no doubt be the source of major battery drainage.
The zoom on this thing is awesome and image stabilization plays a major role at 12x zooms; in fact it would be pretty useless without it.
All in all its an excellent camera. Just make sure you purchase a 1gb SD card to go with it (if not more) and a camera bag since it doesn't come with one.
Digital camera Review: Awesome camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched other cameras, and Kodak always gets my vote. This camera is awesome for the price! It also has fun features like you can crop right on your camera, correct the color using Kodak Perfect Touch, take pictures right from your video footage or even make a collage print from different frames from your video, and all on your camera!!! LOVE IT!! If you want a slim camera, it's not for you, but otherwise, it's GREAT!!Digital camera Review: BAIT AND SWITCH
Summary: 1 Stars
When I ordered this camera from AMAZON the price was comparable to local establishments. The only reason I ordered from AMAZON was that there was a tag on the web page that said if you order this item you will get a free SD 512 memory card. This also appeared on the Kodak Z650 add on AMAZON. I did not recieve the card and when I inquired to AMAZON they answered that a card does not come with the Kodak Camera. Well, I knew that! The card was a give away from AMAZON not from Kodak. My biggest mistake, aside from ordering electronics from AMAZON was not saving the web page to prove my claim. Watch out for the bait and switch. Now AMAZON can do it too.Digital camera Review: BEST BUY-Recommend 100%

I bought this camera for myself as an early birthday present. I admit I have not fully tested out this camera as I have had this camera less then 12 hrs at the time of writing this review. But As soon as I got it out of the BOX I thought WOW! glancing through the menu options I only took a couple of pictures but I am still learning. I will update soon :) bye for now. If I could I'd give it 10 out of 5 LOL!
