Kodak - EasyShare Z1275 Digital point and shoot camera

4

Very nice point and shoot camera with lot's of features. Great for capturing pictures on the go and indoors. Image Quality Very crisp images and you can use many different image quality settings. The video is high definition and there is a 5 to 1 zoom. Performance This camera performs very nicely overall. I do have an issue for the closeup macro. It's not easy getting it clear. That would be my one complaint. One other thing is there is no viewfinder. Only the led display. It is sometimes difficult to see in bright sunlight conditions. Ease of Use Very easy to use with the touch of a button. There are three flash options. Full flash, light flash and no flash which is nice in a well lit room or not so well lit. Durability I've had this camera a few years now and have dropped it numerous times and it still works like the day I bought it. Battery Life This may be the only real downside to this camera. Like other digital cameras, it uses a lot of power. I recommend using two AA lithium batteries. They last a long time. Normal alkaline do not work well in this camera. Portability Very small, lightweight and easy to put in your pocket, purse or use the carry cord and wrap around your wrist.

Ahhh me and my Camera.  We are like two peas in a pod.  If you see me, you see my camera.  The Kodak Easy Share Camera has been a wonderful camera to work with.  My husband and I had previously purchased a different model of camera and decided to upgrade.  We love the quality pictures that we get and the ease of being able to print at home.  On more than one occassion at work, I have been asked if the pictures were taken professionally.  I always smile and say that they came from the Guy Family Photo Lab.

Great camera all around

I received this camera as an early Christmas present from my family.  I had been avoiding the Kodak products, thinking that they weren't up to the quality of some of the other items that I'd been looking at, so was surprised at the quality level of this camera.  The operation is simple, intuitive, and requires no digging around through things that don't make sense to use it.  Pretty easy to use right out of the box for basic operations.  I added a 4 gig Secure Digital card to the storage, and am thrilled.  It can eat through AA alkalines faster than what I'm used to though.  Overall, love the camera, picture quality, ease of use, etc.  I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an easy to use, good quality digital camera.

I recently bought 2 of these cameras for my husband and me.  We LOVE them. They fit easily in a pocket to go everywhere we go.  We are impressed with the pictures we are getting. Neither of us are "professionals," but we are picky about our pictures.  I can't wait until Christmas to use it more.

Easy to use, great picture & great price

Great camera for the price, small enough to put in a pocket. The camera produced a clear and defining picture. It is easy to operate and uses Kodak EasyShare software. We purchased it after hearing a co-worker rave about it and found it at Buydig.com at a great price. It was It was delivered within a five day time frame.

easy to use, clear pictures and no delay

an idiot-proof camera with easy to read instructions and simple clear buttons.  some cameras have a second or two delay from pressing the button to the actual picture is taken...this does not and that eliminates getting a photo right after what you wanted has passed!

excellent quality with many options, video with sound,etc

 A quality camera a novice can use.  I bought this camera to video and take pictures of my 2 grandchildren and have not been disappointed.  I use to take 35 mm film pix and took several shots of the same pose hoping to capture a good picture with all eyes open, good angle,etc.  With this digital camera you can immediately see your shot and delete or shoot another.  The z1275 has 12 megapixels and zoom capability.  There are many features I have yet to learn about and look forward to learning the different automatic setting and scene modes.                        Enlargements come out crisp and great video quality.  I reccommend this camera for all novice or better photo enthusiasts.

Good enough, if you can get it cheap

I needed a digital camera, and this popped up on sale, so I grabbed it. It's a middle-of-the-road point and shoot. 12MP camera, 720p video. SD cards and AA batteries. Everything you'd expect. The manual mode to take pictures is useful since it can have a lot of trouble taking night shots. The video recording is good, albeit shaky. A tripod is a must for serious use. The LCD is nice and bright and after taking a photo, you can even apply some color balancing and other things to it. So it's full featured and nice, but there are issues. EVERY TIME you change the batteries, you have to reset the clock. And it eats batteries LIKE CRAZY, so you will be doing that a lot. I'm serious. It goes through AAs like no one's business. Also, the digital image stabilization doesn't work and the SD write speed is very slow, even with a Class 10 SDHC card. Still, it has a nice zoom, and handles well. It's compact and simple enough to hand to someone for a shot. The stiching for panoramic shots also is remarkable. If it's the best you can afford, go for it, but I'm looking for better, soon.

Kodak EasyShare z1275 Battery Eater!

2

This camera takes great pictures but it is horrible on batteries. Sometimes a brand new set of alkaline batteries shows as only half full on the battery meter when they are brand new! Take a few pictures and the camera says the batteries are done. I have been in contact with Kodak about it but they play dumb to the issue, even though I have read alot about this issue online.

Excellent Camera!

I have had this camera for two years now . I have loved it since the day I got it and still do. It takes EXCELLENT quality pictures in every lighting I've put it in, even pictures of fireworks on the 4th of July! If you're like me and want to be able to print enlargements of your photos, this camera is great. It takes good videos too.The screen on the back of the camera is large enough to get a great view of the pictures, but reviewing does eat up the battery life. That is the ONLY con of this camera,battery life. It does go through batteries very quickly, if you don't get the lithium ones and you do take pictures often then you can expect about 2 weeks max ,so I definitely recommend buying rechargeable lithium batteries with this camera.For such a lightweight camera it is very durable,and it has withstood several tumbles. It is a compact size, which is great , easy to fit in whatever you need to haul it around in, not slim enough to be pocket size though. If they would make this camera come with a rechargeable battery I would definitely give it 5 stars.
