 Do not buy this camera! November 25, 2008

I made the mistake of buying this camera sight unseen and without reading the reviews.
First, the good: takes wonderful pictures. I had an olympus 3.2mp 10x optical zoom camera. this one beats it in all modes I've tried including the super macro setting for ultra close ups.
Having said that, the engineers who designed this screwed the pooch so badly they need to be shot, hung, drawn and quartered, and their heads put on a pike. Same goes for the marketing morons who specified this product.
It takes 2 AA batteries. It eats them. Nope, rechargeable Nimh won't work. Not even the high capacity ones; too much power draw. You MUST use the lithium ion ones. Yeah, the $2 each AA lithium battery. Stupid engineers.
The reason it eats them is the large LCD display on the back is the ONLY way to take a picture; there is no viewfinder. Stupid engineers. The LCD washes out easily.
Second, the delay time to store the picture is ridiculous. I've tried faster SD cards to no avail. If you want to take more than 3 pictures within 10 seconds (count to 10; it's a long time...), this is not your camera.
And the lens cap always comes off. WTF?? I've owned a number of cameras; expensive, cheap, and moderate, and never been so disgusted with their inability to execute on this simple thing. It's like they put their worst guys on this camera. Really, how hard is it to make a camera and lens cap that stays on? If Boeing designed things this poorly, planes would be falling out of the sky. The lens is one of the most important parts of the camera and it's at high risk of getting scratched with no lens cap.. Stupid engineers.
There are other issues with this camera, but those are the biggies.
Don't buy this camera. There are other cameras out there where you don't have to make the tradeoffs this one requires of you.
 Great Balance in a Digital Camera November 1, 2008

I received this camera a couple of months ago, and I am so glad I purchased this model. First I love the size. The Z8612-IS has a large optical lens like a Digital SLR which produces the outstanding clarity I expect. Second, it is much lighter and easier to travel with than a digital SLR. You can still use threaded lens adapters and filters too.
The camera has a lot of capability but it is not so complicated as some of the digital SLRs. I like a cameria that has manual settings and priority modes - although I think most digital camers have these features.
Then there is the fact that it is am American company. Now I know it is made overseas - but at least it is an American company and that is better than buying a Japanese brand in terms of helping our economy.
The value for the price is really outstanding as well.. I paid $209 in August and now they are about $40 less. It is one of the best photography buys of my life. I just returned from a hike in the forests along the Hudson river and now have a hundred wonderful photos of the beautiful autmun trees. The photos ar exceptional crisp and sharp and I used the close up setting to take artist pics of numerous textures.
Good Job Kodak!!
Outstanding PIX and Value October 10, 2008

12X optical zoom with stabilization is outstanding
Easy to use
Full manual control or P/S simplicity
Color of pix are true and vibrant
No issues to this point
Well worth taking a look at.
If you want accurate facial tones and clear crisp images, than this camera should be on your short list.
 Cheap plastic September 30, 2008

This camera arrived and immediately I was concerned. It felt extremely lightweight and cheap, as if it would be easily damaged by normal handling. I purchased this camera for a trip to Alaska. Overall, it did take clear images and featured reasonable image stabilization, but I did not think it would hold up well for my vacation. I returned it for a Nikon Coolpix P80, which is solid in the hand and takes GREAT photos.
