Kodak Easyshare Z812IS- Love itNovember 17, 2008 I purchased the Z812IS to upgraded from my 1974 Minolta SRT201 35mm SLR camera (stop the laughing). I got tired of waiting to see if my pictures were any good after developing. I've only used it a handful of times, mainly for photographing race cars. I like the very short shutter delay. (I think it's 0.23 sec.)The camera also takes exceptional pictures at a distance. For cars in motion, it's easy to pan along with them to get that speed effect, using a shutter speed of less than 1/320,and the screen & view finder do not go blank when taking pictures at a slower shutter speed. I also used it to photograph close ups of morning glorys. The detail is outstanding. For the batteries, I purchased 2 KODAK(KLIC-8000)Li-Ion rechargeables. I also purchased a KODAK High Performance 2GB memory card. I don't know the performane of this(or why I bought it), but the 2GB memory card that came with the camera is sufficient,holding over 700 photos. The most I've put on it at 1 shooting was 195. The Image Stabilization is great. I think someone with Parkinsons Disease could easily take perfect pictures. 'Nuf said. As of this date, I highly recommend this camera.
Popup flash stops popping upNovember 2, 2008 The popup flash is a big issue with camera like this. The popup flash stopped popping up for my camera and the camera is basically useless. The camera also shuts down every once in a while for no reason and I miss precious shots. I loved the camera initially because of all the features it has but now I hate it.
Great cameraOctober 28, 2008 This is a great camera! You can get it for almost $100 cheaper direct from kodak.com
battery problemsOctober 17, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have had this camera (z812is) for about 6 months and there are two things I can say about it the first one is this camera goes through a lot of batteries quick including rechargeables, and high end digital batteries. I am at a point that I am thinking of buying another camera as keeping up with the cost of batteries is vey high. The second item is I have tried a number of times to contact Kodak and every time I have been dicconnected. I would not recommend this camera at all.
Poor customer service, poor productSeptember 25, 2008 I received this camera for Christmas, and by June it had stopped working. First, it stopped focusing. Then about 1 in 25 pictures would turn up absurdly pixilated. Finally, the small self-timer light next to the flash would not turn off even when the camera itself was off. The battery itself had to be removed for it to go off. I contacted Kodak, and since the camera was still under warranty, I sent it back to get fixed. I just heard back from them that due to "corrosion damage" the camera is not repairable and not covered under warranty. (They were kind enough to offer to return the broken camera to me for $12.95.) I take very good care of my cameras. It NEVER got wet. I never even had it long enough to take it anywhere for it to get wet. I do not store the battery in the camera because I have a rechargeable battery. I cannot stress how incredibly aggravated and disappointed I am. If Amazon.com would let me, I would give this product zero stars.
