The Kodak EasyShare Z1275 is by far the best digital camera I have ever owned! It has 12 mp's and the pictures come out crisp and clear. I love the size of the lcd screen also. There are lots of functions for different settings and everything is very easy to navigate and use. It has 5x optical zoom, although if you zoom too much the picture loses some of its quality. I found this camera on sale last year for $200 and it was the best $200 I have ever spent. I just love this camera!
