4 out of 5 stars Good Value Some Minor Annoyances   July 3, 2008
I have owned this camera for a short time and took it out for a day of wildlife photos recently. It has nice features and functionality for the price but a few deficiencies were apparent right away.

1. LCD is dim when taking pictures in sunlit to overcast lighting. Had difficulty seeing what I was taking pictures of.

2. The zoom in/out buttons are awkwardly placed so that when you use the eyepiece, your fingers get in the way. If the LCD was brighter you wouldn't have to use the eyepiece.

3. Time delay between depressing the shutter button and data transfer. It seems that after some tweaking like scaling down the image stabilization and autofocus options has reduced this delay. Actually seems acceptable now.


Other than those deficiencies, I am currently satisfied with it.

This camera takes so so pics, but is not built to last what so ever. Camera one lasted about 4 months with top notch care and just stopped working all together and support is nowhere to be found. The second one I bought, same model just more pixel's started to have flash problems with the bulp after maybe 30 pics and now wont turn on at all, again with top notch care after just 3 weeks. Kodak camera's suck, I got a HP and it works excellent and isn't so cumbersome and lasts more than a few weeks for the price. Kodak is such a Waste of money for such a hefty price for it's products.


2 out of 5 stars Great pics, but no life   June 19, 2008
I got this camera a few moths ago and loved it. Then BAM it takes like 20 pictures to one lithium battery. That's freaking expensive. I sent it in for repair under warranty (which was incredibly inconveinant, since it left me without a camera with my 6 month old). They sent it back saying that it's "repaired" and now it takes a whopping 40 pictures per battery (to top it off the guy at the repair number was a jerk). It's awful, and I wouldn't buy another Kodak after this.


5 out of 5 stars AMAZING   June 19, 2008
The photos taken with this rival those of more expensive SLRs and this is MUCH easier to use. I bought this after I bought my almost 70 year old mother the Z712, and saw the outstanding photos she took. Plus it has enough control for the experienced photographer to fine tune their shots. And the HD video is a BIG plus.


5 out of 5 stars Great SLR-like camera   May 29, 2008
This is a fabulous camera! I didn't think that it could take better pictures than my older Kodak, but I was really wrong. The picture quality is amazing, and with a billion different shooting modes, you can always get the picture you want. Love it - recommend it to anyone.
