Kodak Easyshare Z8612IS 8.1 MP Digital Camera with 12xOptical Image Stabilized Zoom

• Overall I was very pleased with this camera. It\'s got some nice features (more than I\'ll probably ever use, I\'m no expert), the zoom and optical zoom are superb, and the picture quality is nice.There\'s only one problem I\'ve had with the camera, although the problem may not be with the camera itself. At some point I must have turned it on unknowingly because I went to use it and the battery it came with was completely dead. I hadn\'t used it much so I would hate to think this battery was that crappy (plus there was no warning that I saw that it was getting weak the last time I used it, about a week prior). Unless they shipped me an old battery with it I\'m just not sure what happened.If I HAD somehow turned/left it on then I would think they would have some sort of automatic shutoff after a period of time of no use. Either way it was either the lack of this feature or the lousy battery they sent me that keeps me from giving this 5 stars. To me this is a minor beef, I wish they had the option to give half stars.Luckily I had some AA batteries handy and they did the trick, and they\'ve last far longer than the batteries that came with it. I use the camera sparingly for now so I haven\'t had a chance to really test battery life. I would imagine AAs won\'t last long if I\'m walking around New York and taking pictures and/or video so eventually I\'ll have to get some sort of spare of higher quality.So yes I\'m glad I bought it, I would recommend it to anyone, just keep an eye on the battery and have some sort of spare handy.
• I bought this camera refurbished by Kodak from an Amazon seller. I know there are cameras out there with a higher megapixel but I wanted a good zoom. I live in the mountains and we have abundant wildlife. However, they are usually a good distance away, so a good zoom is necessary to get any good pictures. That said, this seems to perform well. The only issue I have is the long time it takes for the zoom to focus. At times it seems to be searching for the subject to focus on and that drives me nuts. I know I miss key shots since wildlife don\'t usually stand at sttention for you to take their picture !Some have complained about the lens cap that pops off when you turn the camera on. That does not bother me in the least. I\'m not crazy about having to manually fold down the flash unit on the top of the camera. That is a stupid feature Kodak should have corrected.I have not used any of the scene modes yet so I can\'t comment on that aspect of the camera. It\'s easy to work thank goodness because the inst. manual enclosed is pathetic. I don\'t use the Easy Share software either. I did order from Amazon a charger with 2 spare batteries and so far I have no complaints about battery life. So for a person who knowingly chose zoom over megapixel, I am pleased. The price difference between a new model and the refurbised model (which looked absolutely brand new & had not a scratch on it) was huge and enabled me to own this camera. For the price, I think it\'s a good buy. I did buy an extended warranty from Square [...] just in case there is a problem.
• Personal Pros:1) Great pictures when you have the right lighting!2) Amazing zoom! I took pictures in ISO setting from about 100yds away at a concert and they came out clear.3) Lightweight and portable.4) The image stabilization works wonderfully. Out of 400 pictures I took while out of town only about two turned out blurry.5) Flash can easily be pushed down and then reopened with a button.Personal Shortcomings:1) The indoor pictures can sometimes be dark, even with the flash. I didn\'t have this problem with my old camera. My boyfriend says his older model Easyshare is the same way. Switching to the ISO setting helps a lot unless you are close to the object, then it can sometimes come out too bright. I haven\'t got this part quite figured out.2) It takes videos in .mov format, which I have to convert before I can edit on Windows Movie Maker or even play.3) It is a bit slower than I am used to... Especially if you try to switch from Still to Video (make sure not to switch the way that takes you through the panoramic setting, or else you will be waiting for a full minute while it catches up).Overall this is a great camera for the price, I am just a little picky about the things I want. Some people may not be as picky as me. lolOh, and let me mention that I bought mine refurbished and it really is like new. :) It came with all the accessories and manual. Always make sure you check to see what is included before you buy a refurbished camera, so you don\'t end up without the straps and caps and booklets.
