- High performance stabilization, - Nice images up until 400 ISO, - Very fast autofocus, - Solid construction, - HD photo mode

- Disappointing HD video mode, - No true wide angle, - Significant smoothing starting at 400 ISO, - Only a 12 cm macro mode, - Doesn�'t come with rechargeable batteries

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.
