Kodak EASYSHARE Z1285 Digital Camera Review

I got this Kodak Easyshare Z1285 almost a year ago. I had a Vivitar that was a great camera, so it was gonna be hard to top. But the Kodak had alot more megapixels, had HD video and alot more settings and more zoom. I got the camera and I absolutely love it. The LCD screen is huge. The camera is lightwieght. The shape is not akward like some of the cameras I've used. I take it almost everywhere I go because I love taking pictures.I can stick it in my purse and go.And the panorama feature is awesome.The batteries last a long time as long as they are rechargable.It doesn't have a whole lot of cons but here goes. One thing that I don't like is that there isn't a viewfinder on it. I like a viewfinder because when your batteries are low, it helps save them. Another thing is when you take pictures or videos, sometimes it takes a few seconds to take another one.That's annoying when you are trying to snap fast.One last thing is the closeup shots,when I try to get a reallycloseup shot of something it is blurry. I haven't figured out why. Even if I put it on the Scene setting "Closeup". All in all it's a great camera, I don't regret buying in it, though I could've went for less megapixels and more zoom.
