Amazon.com Product Description
Kodak has raised the bar with the Kodak EasyShare Z612 6.1-megapixel zoom digital camera. With a powerful zoom and precision optics, a 6.1 megapixel resolution, and easy-to-use creative manual and custom controls, including video, the Z612 packs a powerful punch into one compact, handy camera.

The Kodak Z612 features an all-glass 12x Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon f2.8 to f4.8 optical zoom 35 to 420 millimeter lens that delivers extraordinary performance and sharp pictures, as well as image stabilization that enables improved image quality at longer zoom ranges and slower shutter speeds. This camera includes a 6.1-megapixel sensor that delivers excellent resolution for prints up to 30 x 40 inches, and provides you with five resolution settings that give you the freedom to pick between quality and quantity per what suits you best at the time. The Z612 lets you view your pictures with brilliance and clarity on its high-resolution, indoor/outdoor viewable 2.5-inch color LCD display, or its high-resolution electronic viewfinder, whether you are shooting vertically or horizontally, both views feature auto picture rotation. You can also quick magnify up to 8x, fast scroll through images, or view multi-up in review mode. And with 32MB internal memory and the ability for expanded external memory via the SD/MMC card slot, you can keep shooting pictures. The Z612's Kodak Lithium-ion rechargeable digital camera battery has an outstanding capacity that provides continuous and reliable power and can be recharged easily via the included Kodak Lithium-ion battery charger.

The simple-to-use video features on the Z612 let you record VGA video at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels at 30 frames per second (fps) with sound, and zoom during the video for increased versatility. Image stabilization enables a steady capture, and you can lessen memory use via MPEG-4 compression. This unit also lets you print multiple frames on a 4 x 6-inch print, or save single frames for later e-mail to family or friends. The Kodak Perfect Touch technology on the Z612 makes your pictures as vivid as when you took them, with better, brighter images that show richer detail and clear up dark shadows to reveal brighter smiles. This camera features on-camera cropping, a histogram function that lets you verify the exposure of your picture on live view, quick view, and review. The Kodak Z612 provides you the option of eight different scene modes, including; portrait, landscape, bright, action, close-up, party, text and museum modes, as well as five color modes, including high, low, natural, sepia, and black and white.

Kodak's Z612 gives you multiple choices in customizing your controls, such as Program mode, Aperture priority mode, and Shutter priority mode. This camera also lets you manually set your exposure compensation, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO equivalents, and includes auto and manual controls for white balance, flash mode, autofocus, and exposure metering. The exclusive Kodak Color Science image processing chip provides vibrant, true-to-life colors in every picture using advanced algorithms and hardware acceleration features that let it make instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to influence picture quality. Not dubbed the Easyshare for nothing, this camera lets you share pictures right out the back of the camera using its exclusive share button, or transfer pictures at high speeds to your PC or other devices via the built-in USB 2.0 connection. And with the included Easyshare software, you can organize your pictures to find them instantly, select from a variety of easy-to-use printing options, share pictures with family and friends, as well as get creative with or edit your pictures in a variety of ways. This compact unit weighs 10.6 ounces without batteries, and measures 4.1 x 2.9 x 2.7 inches (W x H x D).

1 out of 5 stars Do not buy.   June 30, 2008
I bought this camera in Nov 2006 for $250.00. I had to send it into Kodak for repair six month later. The camera would show a white screen on outdoor picture. The camera was repaired under warranty. Eight month later the same problem occured. This time Kodak wants $135 + sales tax + $10 for shipping to repair it for the same issue. It is a piece of junk. Kodak now offers a 15% coupon trade in towards on a new camera. So I give thme my crappy camera and they send me a 15% discount towards the purchase of a new camera. Then turn around and resale my camera to some else. I will never buy another Kodak product. Buyer beware! Save you money. JUNK JUNK JUNK!


1 out of 5 stars buyer beware   May 30, 2008
I bought this camera a little over a year ago, it was great at first and got some really nice pictures. After a bout 6 months it started to act up, Since then I have had to send it in to kodak three times. The camera will no longer focus and I am upgrading to a real SLR...DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CHEAP CAMERA... I lost some really important moments to blurry pictures because of this camera.


2 out of 5 stars A little disappointed   May 1, 2008
Is is just me or has anyone else experienced a grinding noise coming from this camera?? Right out of the box, it sounds like a little motor wants to shut down. Is this normal?? I didn't expect the camera to make any noise aside from zooming in and out. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

Owned this camera less than 1 year and its in the shop for the second time. Customer support was okay the first time but sucks now because they put me on hold for so long that I didn't get the issues resolved. I'm willing to try another Z612 before switching brands because I love the picture quality and the ease of operation.


5 out of 5 stars The Perfect All Around Camera   March 4, 2008

I will not repeat all the positives found in reviews on this site and on others. I have owned 23 digital cameras (most for reviews) over the past 20 years, and I must say this is the best all around camera of them all. It is not quite a s good as some of the Fujis for very low light shooting, but other than that it can compete with $500 cameras easily. Picture quaility is what counts and this camera even beats my Canon G7 in that regard and easily beats the Fujis in adequate lighting. I have had no problems with this camera and have loved it from day one. With all the professional settings as well as point and shoot, it can appeal to everyone. At the price, it is a steal.Those who write negative reviews about this camera either have a defective unit or do not know how to use a camera, or think they are writing a review on a $1.000 camera. Highly recommended without reservation.
