What You Should Know about the EasyShare Z612 Digital Camera (6.4MP, 2848x2144, 12x Opt, 32MB Internal Memory, MMC/SD Slot)

Larger-Than-Average Optical Zoom Range

The optical zoom range on this camera is sufficiently broad to give you considerable creative control. Your options extend from individual portraits to group shots to wide-angle landscapes. Most point-and-shoots offer a focal length range that’s roughly equivalent to 35mm to 105mm on a 35mm film camera. At the wide end (the 35mm, in this case), they shoot a bit wider than what you see with your eye. At the telephoto end (the 105mm, in this case), they can zoom in a good deal closer than you’d be able to with the naked eye.

User Reviews for Kodak EasyShare Z612 Digital Camera (6.4MP, 2848x2144, 12x Opt, 32MB Internal Memory, MMC/SD Slot)

  • Reviewed by: jbsconsult

    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: 12x zoom, Picture quality and the Image Stabilization are all excellent. The price I paid 189 dollars was the best camera for the price. This is my 3rd Kodak camera and it is the best of the three. I also appreciate the fact that I can use my existing SD memory cards for all 3 cameras.

    Weaknesses: None so far. I will update this review after I use the camera some more.

    Overall Evaluation: 5 Stars excellent camera. Would recommend it to anyone looking for an economically priced camera with lots of features.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Month

    Strengths: 12x zoom, different scene modes and controls, SD card slot, Recharable battery.

    Weaknesses: So far nothing

    Overall Evaluation: I have been using this camera about a month and I just love it. So far it takes excellent pictures and allows for several different types of scenery and lighting. The 12x zoom is fabulous and zooming to distant subjects allows for much nicer photos. For a point and shoot camera it's an excellant selection and I would recommend it to anyone interested.
