Bottom-Line: If you need a compact, lightweight, versatile, 7.1MP digital camera, loaded with features, look no further then the Kodak EasyShare Z-712IS.

I loathe computer class; sounds funny coming from a self-avowed computer geek and IT Professional, but there is the bare naked truth.  But occasionally...

This camera is very nice for those who want to shoot and take pictures.  The automatic feature helps to do just that.  There are other settings if you choose to get a little more involved in picture taking.  To learn to use those features takes a little more time than I care to spend - but it's nice...

all in all the camera does a great job for the price.  I got this for my ebay products  and home use.  most of the time you can really get a great pic.  I would think that if I knew more about the right buttons to use I would get a better one.

the only real problem was when I took pictures of my son in a play.  it did not bring the pictures in although the stage was bright.  they where all dark . again that could be where I didnt know which setting to switch to.

the first batteries that came with this camera lasted great. but the rechargeables  goes really fast. just make sure to have plenty...

We purchased this camera just prior to a trip overseas. We were definitely impressed by its versatility, the quality of the photos, and its ability to compensate for a variety of circumstances. However, the batteries wear out very quickly, and they are both expensive and difficult to find. On more than one occasion we found ourselves frustrated by a sudden death of battery power while in a situation where we really wanted photos (like in a favorite castle in France!). If you choose to purchase this camera (and its functionality will NOT disappoint you!), be prepared to spend quite a bit of...

The Kodak Easyshare digital camera was bought for me as a gift and boy was I happty.  The first thing I did was opened up the manual that came with it and jumped right in on how to function this camera.  Once I was comfortable with that, which did not take very long because they make it very user friendly user, I was ready to start taking some pictures.  The camera was really lightweight so it was easy to tote it around with me all the time.  You turn it on, then pick from many choices of what kind of photo you will be shooting and the camera adjusts the fx and aperature for you so you don't...

I bought this camera after my last Kodak camera was stolen on a vacation. I'm thrilled with this one and secretly pleased that the last one was stolen!! I love the size of the camera - a little bigger than most but I think more comfortable in my hands and easier to use. I'm an amateur photographer so know little about the technical aspects but I'm pleased with this image stabilization - I have less blurry pictures!! I've taken hundreds of pictures of my nieces' triplets and they have all turned out great. I love the zoom and the video aspect has been a added bonus. I've learned to use it and then... read full review »

I purchased the Kodak Z712 IS in 2008 when my first grandchild was born.  It is my third digital camera and by far the best.  The pictures, whether indoors or outdoors, are clear and precise and the many capture modes are incredible.  My granddaughter is in constant motion at 15 months old, and I find the sport mode works great to capture her antics.

I spent several months researching cameras before this purchase, and read as much as i could.  This model received great reviews.  The only downside is that it is a heavy camera, not a lightweight to fit in a purse or pocket.  My husband prefers...

This camera is my third venture into the world of digital cameras and I couldn't be happier with it. I love to travel, but was always loaded down with cameras - one with a zoom lens attached, one for "point and shoot", still another for digital backup.... I looked like a picture-taking bag lady!

Compact and lightweight, this little digital camera is now going everywhere with me. The zoom and stabilization features are great - I've taken pictures of hawks in flight and zoomed in on my niece playing in a marching band out on a football field.

From both candid and portrait shots at family gatherings...

I started out loving my camera.  I take pictures of my family and friends all the time.  I am the one who always has the camera and takes tons of pictures.  I gather the pictures and organize them to share with family and friends.  It is a passion of mine to make sure that my kids have all these pictures of all our memories when they get older.

The camera started out working great, I captured so many lovely pictures.  However, when taking pictures indoors, the quality isn't good.  The pictures are dark.  I tried to change the speed, and tried to take off auto and use a different quality,...

I just love my digital camera. I recieved mine for Christmas and I have taken so many pictures that I just don't know what to do with them all. I am always using the zoom in and zoom out feature. It's great. I never could afford one so disposables were always my game and they just stink. It also has a big screen in the back so you don't have to put the camera to your face and if you didn't like the picture you just took, guess what,  you can delete it. WOW! That's a plus for me cause I'm definetly not a professional so I always have alot of deleting to do. I can also take home movies on it which... read full review »

I thought the Kodak EasyShare Z712 digital cameara was initially okay.  The photos it takes are fairly good considering the price I paid for it. 

When I took my camera along while touring the United Kingdom, I used it to record a live stage show called "A Taste of Scotland".  The footage looked good when I played it back on the camera, but when I returned home and uploaded the clips I'd taken to my computer, I noticed that the so-called "improved image stabilization" was terrible!  The footage I'd take would cause one to think the camera man had either had too much to drink or had an extreme...

     I got this camera for christmas last year and it is great!!! It replaced an older kodak it was i think 3 or 4 megapixels, this one is sooooooo great. the built in features are amazing!!!! I highly highly reccommend this camera. the zoom is great. I have not had any problems with it yet. The battery it came with ws not the recharge kind. but i take a lot of pics, and it lasted about 4 months. not bad for a battery in a digital camera!! it takes the sd memory cards wich is great b/c i already had one for my older camera, and i don't like the sony cameras that you can only buy that kind of... read full review »

This camera is everything I wanted and more!!  I wanted one that I can zoom in on when my kids are running down the soccer field to kick in the winning goal...and I got it!!!  The 12 x optical zoom is amazing!!  My kids play soccer, football and are on the swim team so its almost impossible to get close ups at any of these events.  With this camera I don't have to worry.  All I have to do is zoom it in and its like they're right there in front of me even tho they are at the other end of the swimming pool or soccer field.  I love it and I reccomend it to parents not looking to spend a lot... read full review »

I have had this camera for two years and I love it. It is SUPER easy to use. The zoom is fantastic and takes clear pictures even from a distance. The camera does best in daylight and outdoors. It's loaded with features that the way more expensive competitors have. It has action, portrait, manual, and my favorite the Smart Scene. It also takes great video.

If I were to have any complaints, it would be that this camera does not take very good pictures in dim/dark conditions or indoors. I would also suggest NOT using AA batteries, even the lithium ones. This camera is very hard on batteries, the CRV3...

If you enjoy taking photo's, this is the camera to have. Its easy to use, even for the amateur photographer. Make your pictures as vivid as the moment you took them, right on camera. I love taking pictures of my two shelties. Being able to view your shots as taken is another plus. Superior performance. Superb picture quality. Capture sharp, steady shots when shooting at long zoom rangesOptical mechanical image stabilization automatically minimizes camera shake to deliver sharper pictures. Available modes include: portrait, night portrait, back light, candle light, flower, text, close-up, landscape,... read full review »
