Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kodak EasyShare Z8612IS 8.1MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Customer Review: a slightly different point-and-shoot
Summary: 4 Stars

note: i purchased this camera from a different vendor.

this camera is larger and more bulky than many point and shoots out there. it is because of a 12x zoom with the lens.

the camera has numerous condition modes to select from with a turn dial atop the camera along with view screen button selectors and adjustments. i, by accident, started off using one of the manual control settings which allows one to carefully adjust aperture, film speed, exposure time, and white balance. it turned out to be a good way to learn the camera.

i have found the kodak to be more fun to use and take better pictures than some smaller cameras with higher megapixel counts.

when you turn the camera on the flash mechanism automatically pops up...i would get around this by keeping my thumb on the spring loaded flash carriage when i was sure i wouldnt need it...it kept me from having to push it back down when i turned the camera off.

i dropped the camera twice. one it popped out of a moving bicycle bag onto the asphalt. the camera afterwords seemed to collect moisture behind the lens but still worked fine on cold damp days...but this went away. the second time i dropped the camera the flash didnt recover. so i am ordering a refurbished one since i have the proper batteries for the camera.

i have found battery life to be very good even with additional memory added.

i would say a good value overall..just larger than many point-and-shoots.
