Kodak Z712

Pros: Phenomenal camera at a fantastic price with a zoom to knock your socks off

Cons: No hotshoe, no RAW support

The Bottom Line: Buy this or regret it forever!

Review: I want to begin by agreeing with everything that shamino says in his review of this camera. If you are thinking that a good camera has to be made in Japan, this one can change your mind. I paid $180 plus tax (at Dell.com using PayPal) and couldn't...

Pros: 12x zoom, great picture quality, fast action.

Cons: Poor documentation. Doesn't include rechargeable batteries.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this for anyone who is not a professional but wants more power than just a simple camera.

Review: Kodak cameras have always impressed me. They offer much more of a camera than anybody else does at the same price point. The Z712IS is no exception.

I bought this camera because of its 12x zoom lens and 7.1MP resolution. I frequently...

Pros: Lightweight, 12x optical zoom

Cons: Battery life should be 370 pictures; was only 100-125

Review: I purchased the Kodak Z712 IS on 7/26/07 and used it for 2 weeks and was impressed with the color and clarity of the pictures. The main reason I bought this camera was that it had 12x optical zoom, 7.1 MP and had a pretty good rating. The camera is...

Pros: -12x optical zoom -Image stabilization -High-ISO mode

Cons: -Rechargeable battery/charger not included -AA batteries won't work -QuickTime video -Lack of on-camera firmware features

The Bottom Line: If possible, find a camera that runs on AA rechargeables and records MPEG video.

Review: The main feature that sold me on this camera was the good 12x zoom lens. In retrospect I should have thought it through further and bought something else.

The camera firmware is pretty basic, although Kodak for some reason thought adding...

Pros: it has 7.1 mega pixels with a 12 times zoom.ease of operation,light weight.

Cons: batteries included are not chargeable

The Bottom Line: Easy to use.Purchase the chargeable batteries.

Review: This is the one camera that is so self starting.It takes wonderful pictures from any distance.It is fabulous in low light situations.the flash is terrific.Awesome in action sequence.I will always own a this camera.It comes with software and a neck...

Pros: Great for the price. Use rechargeable battery and you will have no trouble.

Cons: Should have come with dock and rechargeable battery as part of the camera.

Review: I have had this camera since Christmas and I am very pleased. It is easy to use and understand. I bought rechargeable batteries from the beginning and have had no problem. I use a docking station to recharge the battery.
It takes great pictures...

Pros: Good pictures.

Cons: Short battery life. This camera eats them fast.

The Bottom Line: I would buy it again but think that Kodak needs to improve their camera batteries so they last longer then 20 pictures.

Review: I did a lot of research before purchasing this camera but could find nothing negative so I bought it. At the time it was priced at around $400.00 and came with a "free printer." There were two batteries included and a charger. I charged the...

Pros: Great zoom, if you need it.

Cons: Not really any different from any other camera other than the zoom. Poorly made (cheap)

Review: I bought the z712 on Black Friday for a full 120.00 off the original price, which was a great deal. I was SO excited to get it home and use it, and once I did, it quit working after a week due literally to a BUMP. I exchanged it for another an it...

Pros: Makes a decent paper weight

Cons: Horrible battery life, blurry pics, slow processing pics, panorama stinks, software stinks, no rechargable battery

The Bottom Line: Don't buy it. 7.1 mega pixel and 12x zoom doesn't matter if you get a blurry shot, batteries are dead, or you missed the shot because the camera was processing.

Review: My fiance bought a cheap easy share years ago and it was a horrible camera. We both hated the *&^* out of it. I told her, "that's what you get for buying a kodak camera." Then my small little digital HP camera broke when I dropped it and I went in...

Pros: Good low light
Awesome Resolution
Array of modes

Cons: Battery usage

Review: This camera is great. I've had mine for months and it works great. The picture quality is through the roof! It is great in low light (though Some Noise) The only thing i will caution you about is the battery. It says it works w/ any old AA. IT...
