 Worst I have seen from Kodak August 9, 2007
15 out of 32 found this review helpful
I have never wrote a review before but I felt I had to on this one. I researched this camera everywhere, read all the reviews. Everything I found was rated excellent on this camera. So I thought I would upgrade from my 4 mp Kodak (which still takes great pictures). I got it home took it on a family adventure to the aquarium and the pictures were awful!! Blurry, out of focus, flash not working when it was supposed to. So I took it back, got another one thinking that the camera was bad. The second one was just as bad as the first one. I used the second one to take pictures of my daughters first day at school-kindergarten. They were all fuzzy, out of focus. Needless to say those are pictures I will never be able to replace. After taking back the second one, another person at the store finally told me that the camera was not very good for being a kodak. She told me that the lower end mega pixel cameras are excellent but Kodak got in a little over their heads with this one. All in all the price is excellent but the quality is poor.
 Best Kodak Camera Ever!!! August 7, 2007

I have had 3 kodak cameras and this was by far the best! Ive seen many kodak cameras such as the z710 but... , not even close to the performence of the z712is. Great buy! I do recomend the Klic-8000 battery and i use the g600 printer dock to charger it. All great products if you see bad reviews i would say people dont take care of their products as i do. Im also impressed with the DX6490. This camera is discontinued, But 3 years later and still works! I am very happy with kodak, and i confidently say YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAMERA!!!

The Kodak 712Zis is a great camera. It's lightweight and easy to use. As an owner of the Kodak DX7590 (still working great!) I upgraded to the 712Z for a few reasons:
1. the video is wonderful, although you cannot zoom during the video - you can make still pictures from the video, edit the video, and with the Kodak 2GB High Performance SD card I purchased the quality is wonderful.
2. In automatic mode this camera takes phenominal pictures in low lighting.
3. The LCD screen is large and easy to see. I can see it outdoors (if I am not wearing sunglasses). I wish I had not taken off the LCD protector because the screen DOES need constant wiping from fingerprint smudges.
There are two not so great features - one is the cap IS cheap and does not stay well on the camera. The other is the zoom - Although you have a 12x zoom, which is nice, while zooming you do not have a clear picture like you do with the DX7590, and it takes quite some time to get used to that feature.
Overall, it's a great camera that takes great pictures. With the price drop it's an incredible buy.
Tip - The camera does NOT come with a recharable battery, so purchase the Kodak KLIC-8000 battery, and the Series 3 dock (which transfers pictures AND recharges your battery).
First day's impressions July 21, 2007

I received this camera today. I've taken 20 pictures, half of which were of a lighthouse that can't be reached by foot. I don't own a boat so optical zoom is as close as I'll get. With this camera I was able to read warning signs posted on the door! I set the camera to the "beach" mode for the pictures and they turned out very nicely. The image stabilization worked beautifully.
That said here are the few other minor issues I discovered:
Hatch over card slot seems flimsy and certain to break if you remove and insert cards quite often as I will be doing.
Neck strap is not very easy to install but hopefully this means it won't come off unexpectedly.
Lens cap seems to be made of cheap plastic and prone to breaking at the attachment point but only time will tell if it does or not.
I like that you can use AA batteries if you wish since I've found them easier to get in my travels than CRV3 batteries.
Camera was surprisingly light and small compared to what I expected but for me this is a plus.
After one day's use I am impressed.
I wish I could take my 5 stars back-its THAT BAD-My edited review is below... July 8, 2007

I went back and forth over what new camera to buy. I want amazing pictures of my kids at Disney and I know I will get them with this camera ***edited: The pictures at Disney were bad, and the batteries-all 12- died so fast that an hour into our visit, I could no longer take photos!
Less than a year later the SOB died on me. Just. Died. Found that out at my daughter's birthday. What's worse? When I took it back to the store I was told that this camera was being discontinued completely because so many of them are simply dying or breaking for no reason. I was sick. I loved this camera, but like another reviewer said, what good is an awesome camera...if it doesn't freaking work?!? I paid $300 for mine, and it died about 6 months later-I moved on to the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS, so far so good and the pictures are better than the kodak hands down. Awesome color-crisp shots. What ever you do, save yourself the headache and pass on this camera. I'll never by kodak again.
