Kodak Easyshare Z812 IS: Review

 

Kodak's new Easyshare Z812 IS ZOOM gets the ThinkCamera treatment...

The 12x optical zoom ; The solid design ; The easy-to-use interface ; The high-definition video

Too much noise at higher ISO ; White balance options are limited ; Colour reproduction not the best ; Price Comparison ; Kodak Easyshare Z812 IS

This new camera aims to change that. The Z812 IS is, we suppose, a bridge camera, coming in at the larger end of the compact market, with an impressive zoom and some of the looks of a 'proper' Digital SLR camera. It's therefore quite chunky compared to...

An image stabilized superzoom that won't cost the earth

The Z812 IS can deliver images in most light levels, but only really shines when the blazing sun does too.

Kodak EasyShare Z812IS

 

If you're looking to buy a high resolution, ultra-zoom advanced camera at some point soon you're currently spoiled for choice. In a market filled with...

Big zoom, tons of features, 1280x720 video recording, sharp pictures

Some chromatic aberration issues, colour could be more accurate, no custom white balance option, no battery charger in package

While it isn't the best ultra zoom on the market, Kodak's EasyShare Z812IS is a good all around package combining a ton of features with solid image quality and a big zoom. The high-definition video recording in particular will appeal to some users.

Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS

 

High definition (HD) is a buzz term circling the consumer electronics industry for televisions, camcorders, and now digital still cameras. Following in the footsteps of powerhouse Canon's first still camera to capture HD video, the PowerShot TX1, is...

The Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS records movies at 1280 x 720 pixels at 30 frames per second (fps), much higher than standard 640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps. Pictures and movies won't look any different for buyers without high definition TVs, however. To use...
