Digital camera reviews of Kodak Easyshare Z612 6.1 MP Digital Camera with 12xOptical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Do not buy.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this camera in Nov 2006 for $250.00. I had to send it into Kodak for repair six month later. The camera would show a white screen on outdoor picture. The camera was repaired under warranty. Eight month later the same problem occured. This time Kodak wants $135 + sales tax + $10 for shipping to repair it for the same issue. It is a piece of junk. Kodak now offers a 15% coupon trade in towards on a new camera. So I give thme my crappy camera and they send me a 15% discount towards the purchase of a new camera. Then turn around and resale my camera to some else. I will never buy another Kodak product. Buyer beware! Save you money. JUNK JUNK JUNK!Digital camera Review: Easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
My Z612 is very easy to use and I am terrible with cameras! Digital is the best for me because I need the option to erase the ones that don't come out the right way. It takes great pictures, especially wildlife, hummingbirds, butterflies etc... Also great for pictures of kids who won't hold still.Digital camera Review: Easy to use takes good pics
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved 35mm photography and used a Nikon for years. I just wanted to take pics without all the hassels have the convenience of auto focus. The camera has been simple to use, has good documentation and the software for downloading the pic to your computer works very well. There is also a docking station that you can purchase that will automatically download your pics as well as recharge the batteries. I really like this camera and would recommed it for folks who like taking pictures and are somewhat particular about their pictures and the quality of their shots.Digital camera Review: Easy to use, except the zoom
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this camera since 10/06. It is very intuitive and easy to use with the exception of the zoom, which is very jerky. This means that instead of being able to zoom until you are satisfied, it jerks past where you want to go. When you try to go back a little, it jerks way past where you would want to stop.
I am also having to return this one to the manufacturer for repair under warranty. When I try to do video, the camera makes grinding noises as it tries to focus and you can hear the noise on the video. I sincerely hope that is not how the camera is supposed to operate.
But the images from the lense and 6.1 megapixel camera are excellent and Kodak software is easy to use.
Digital camera Review: Easyshare Z612 - WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL CAMERA!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this camera! I have a Nikon N90, which is an excellent camera, but I wanted a digital, smaller camera. Several years ago, I bought a Toshiba PDF4300, and my husband purchased a Nikon Coolpix 5000. Both of these digital cameras are not user friendly or fast. As a result, we stopped taking photos. I bought a Kodak C model Easyshare camera for my mom for Mother's Day and was shocked at how easily I was able to immediately start taking photos. There were dedicated Review and Delete buttons by the LCD panel. What a concept! (To this day, I have problems deleting on my Toshiba.) It made me want to start taking photos again. I studied specifications from camera to camera; e.g. Canon, Nikon, Kodak, but I kept coming back to Kodak's simple, easy-to-use formula. I decided on the Z612 for a multitude of reasons: size, speed, stabilization, TV quality video with stereo audio, 2.5 LCD with 233K pixels, 35mm to 420mm zoom, 6.4 MP, ability to use a 2 GB SD card (with the best res (6 MP), this card can hold 491 photos), etc. I called some camera stores in town to see if they carried the Kodak Z612, because I wanted to see it in person, and I was surprised at their snobby responses that they don't carry Kodak. Don't let that kind of attitude stop you from seeing this camera. I found one close to home, and bought after looking at it - great sale price, too. This is the easiest camera out of the box. Very fast! Excellent quality - no red eye on my new kittens. In one day, I took 200 photos, copied them to my computer - no hassles. I am the happiest I've ever been with a camera. As an additional FYI, Kodak announced the P712 in London on June 20, 2006. This should be better than the P880 which I was considering. If you want to add an external flash and things, the P (Performance) line is the way to go. For this purchase I wanted size, quality, AND EASE OF USE. It looks like the new P712 is very similar to the Z612, which was announced Feb 2006. (Z is for high zoom, 6 is for MP, and 12 is for 12x zoom.)
I am ABSOLUTELY THRILLED with my Kodak Easyshare Z612. (No, I do not work for Kodak.)
