It is a fast, accurate-focusing camera. The 12x zoom is fabulous. It has an Auto mode that evaluates the shooting conditions and subject and chooses the correct scene mode automatically; in my experience it is quite accurate. You can use it as a point and shoot or make your own aperture, shutter or completely manual settings. The high ISO on the camera does a nice job--even my worst shots at 1600 are usable (with a little help from Neat Image). There are almost no ruined shots due to camera fault (photographer fault, yes). The colors are definitely Kodak, but not as saturated as some of their cameras have been. There is plenty of detail in the photographs. The CRV3 battery lasted over 500 shots with frequent flash and LCD use. It is a camera with a great combination of qualities and few faults.

A solid, but not exceptional, advanced ultra-zoom camera, Kodak's Z712 IS offers a big zoom backed up by optical image stabilisation. However, its pictures aren't quite as good as some of the competing models on the market.

In the increasingly crowded high-zoom, SLR-like digital camera market, consumers are faced with many options. These cameras offer the feel of an SLR in a smaller size with many automatic options. Some manufacturers are offering solid examples and are also constantly improving the category. While the Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS offers some new technologies, like Perfect Touch and their new Color Science Image Processing Chip, its major selling point is the price. If you want a high-zoom camera with a lightweight design at an affordable price, this camera will suffice. However, if you are drawn to this camera because of its "Easy" designation, don’t be fooled, most cameras in this category have a full auto mode and will function as a direct point and shoot. For those interested in the Z712 IS, it will likely serve your needs, it just may not provide as much control or the image quality of its competitors.

There are some excellent features on the Z712 like the good lens, low ISO speeds, 12x optical zoom and panoramic stitch feature and is let down in other places like the Auto mode giving better portrait results than the portrait mode, the use of the wheel to change the ISO annoyed me and the favourites area seems a waste of space. However, if you are after a small SLR style camera with a large zoom and packed with features, then this camera meets those requirements and is worth considering.

Kodak's EasyShare Z712 IS is a nice superzoom, especially for the price, though its image quality does falter at higher ISOs.

Kodak's 6.1-megapixel EasyShare Z612 looks like a Lilliputian SLR. The good: 12X optical zoom; full manual exposure controls; optical image stabilization. The bottom line: The superzoom Kodak EasyShare Z612 has style and plenty of features, but its image quality leaves a bit to be desired.

The Kodak Z612 is very up front about what makes it an intriguing camera: The Z is for zoom, the 6 is its 6 megapixel CCD, and the 12 is for 12x optical zoom. The Z612 also has a live histogram feature, letting users see their photo's exposure before taking a shot, and all the cropping, rotation, and red-eye reduction you need to do can be done right in the camera. The Z612 is a powerful performer and post-production unit.
