Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer Review: A very nice camera, but not without it's flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
For the price, the Kodak Z712IS is a very valuable camera. It can be had as low as $140 depending on the sellers that come across here on Amazon, which is amazing. The 712IS's auto mode has a pretty accurate focus, and it is quite snappy (fast) at doing so. The auto mode is probably what the vast majority of consumers will use on Z712IS, and I can say that the auto mode works quite well.
Additionally, if you're that budding photo hobbyist (like me) who isn't quite ready to jump to DSLR, this camera is for you. On top of the image stabilized 12X zoom, the Z712IS has Aperture, Shutter and Full Manual modes - plus a nifty jog dial to navigate through these settings. You can take some dazzling photos if you fully understand this camera's features.
Keep in mind though, these settings can in no way replace the flexibility of a DSLR. To me, it's more like getting a taste of how a DSLR may or may not function.
Pros:
-12X Zoom, Image Stabilizer
-Manual Modes
-Very quick and snappy
-Electronic Viewfinder, perfect for sunny days when you can't see the LCD
-"Perfect Touch" option improves a lot of dark photos
-Solid & well constructed for the most part.
-Cheap!!!
Cons:
-Lens MUST be exposed if you turn it on... even just to review pics!
-Door for the SD memory cards is a bit flimsy
-Battery life is sub par. But please note that this camera only operates correctly on lithium batteries! It even says so on the battery door. For those of you rating this camera low because you're using NiMH batteries, try reading the instructions! Personally, I bought 3rd party rechargeable batteries right here on Amazon, and they work great.
-A minor con, but the lens cap must be laced through the neck strap.
All in all, this camera is worth it if you can find it cheap (below 200), which isn't difficult. I've used it for about 2 months now, and have taken about 900 photos. I am very happy with it!
