Kodak Z812 IS

Pros: Video and still camera in one, image quality, zoom, ability to extract stills from videos

Cons: Lens cover pops off easily, uses lots of battery power

The Bottom Line: EasyShare is easy to use yet offers a lot.  I'm VERY happy with my purchase.

Review: I've used digital cameras in the past and often went back to the good old, film loaded, point and shoot type because the digital cameras seemed to always take forever to capture the picture.  I'd have to wait for the camera to warm up and then it ...

Pros: Cost,Great picture & video quality, Easy to use, Great zoom, LCD & optical viewfinders.

Cons: Poor battery life, Weak built-in flash, no flip out LCD viewfinder.

The Bottom Line: Highly Recommended!

Review: I have had the Kodak Z812-IS camera for about 6 months now. My first digital camera was an Olympus Stylus 300 (3.1 MP and tiny optical zoom). With a new baby due and the fact that the Olympus took awful pictures in low light, I was looking to move up to ...

Pros: Ease of use, great pictures

Cons: battery life, bulky size

The Bottom Line: This camera is a great option to step above the simple point and shoot, and at a great price.

Pros: Easy for amateurs. Great zoom and quality of pics.

Cons: Lens cap can strap to camera, but cap pops-off easily when anything touches it.

The Bottom Line: Easy for anyone, but definitely flexible for enthusiasts! Options for amateurs and more advanced photogs. An amateur can grow into this camera.

Review: Firstly, I am an amateur. I use my camera to take pics of my kids while on vacation, at school concerts or during sporting events like soccer. I chose the Kodak Easyshare Z812-IS because I wanted a camera that could really zoom in from a distance, but ...

Pros: Great photo quality, easy to use, keeps the Kodak meaning alive.

Cons: No back button in menu features, flash goes off sometimes when not needed, EATS BATTERIES!

The Bottom Line: I love this camera for it's ease of use and photo quality.

Review: I, like many other users of this camera, bought this to replace an older model of another Kodak camera. I've had two Kodak’s in the past and will stick with the name despite amazing things I have heard about the Canon and Nikon brand name. I bought ...

Pros: Kodak software is very user-friendly for downloading pictures.

Cons: This is an excellent example of bigger and newer is NOT necessarily better.......

Review: Because I had another Kodak, Easy Share, DX 6490, I chose the Z812IS when I wanted to upgrade to a larger zoom and more megapixels. What I gave up has left me very disappointed, the improvements (zoom and megapixels) do not out weigh the things I ...
