This review is from: Kodak Easy Share ZD8612I'm no photography expert -- strictly point and click. This is my first digital camera. I'm pretty computer literate but know a very little bit about manipulating digital photos using very basic programs -- mostly I know how to fix color balance, crop and resize. From my very amateur perspective: the photos are excellent, I love the video capability, and the automated functions (zoom, light level, etc) work very well. There are 2 major drawbacks to this camera, though: there is no direct viewer, so you can only use the LCD display, which is very hard to see in daylight. And there's a huge lag time between photos -- it takes several seconds for the camera to reset itself to take a photo, unless you use a feature that I never remember to turn on until afterwards. There's also a long lag between the time you press the button to take the photo, and the time the photo is actually taken. Very frustrating if you're trying to catch those moments-that-occur-in-a-split-second. The zoom is great, but you MUST have a tripod to use it to fullest advantage -- it's a very long exposure. I don't like the EasyShare digital editing program at all, and use PaintShop Pro instead. I got an LCD cover/shade for the display -- protects it, and makes it easier to use in direct sunlight.Wouldn't buy it again, but it was a good starter digital camera (I got it at a terrific price from a redbrick store -- much less than what it's being sold for here) and now I know what to look for next time....
This review is from: Kodak Easy Share ZD8612The store i work at was having a MASSIVE sale on old model digital cameras and this was one of them. for the price i paid ($60) its a great camera. it has the manual modes takes great photos and is responsive. also changing the settings in the manual modes is very easy and intuitive. the only reason i give a three instead of a 4 is because of the type of battery it uses. it use some lithium ion battery (which last a bit longer than regular batteries) that is a $10 replacement every time it dies. well is it rechargeable you ask? nope! once its dead its dead and you must pay ten bucks to buy a new one. it has a ac adapter port on it, im assuming for a rechargeable version of this battery, but said adapter is not included and you must purchase the rechargeable battery separate. why kodak did this i have no idea. it was a very bad move not to use a mainstream battery form factor or even a proprietary rechargeable battery with charger included. im not TOO peeved about it since i only paid sixty bucks for it and am willing to pay for the rechargeable version. if you aren't willing to do so id look at a different camera....
This review is from: Kodak Easy Share ZD8612I've had this camera almost a year now. I have taken many professional looking photos for friends, family & even myself for my own family. I love the clarity of the photos, they're so sharp and clear. If you learn to use the right settings for each situation you will have better results. I have had many compliments on my photographs that I have taken with this camera. I definately would suggest it to anyone....
