Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS Review

 

Overall, the Kodak Z1012 IS usually succeeds in producing nice pictures, but some parts of the camera just get in the way. At the end of the day for me, judging a camera comes down to its ability to produce a good image. On this score, this camera is...

12x zoom with minimal distortion, Good battery life and loads of options, Great SLR-like feel in hand, Exceptional auto white balance performance

Very slow image processing and laggy firmware, Auto focus slips prevented some shots, Too quick to use flash on auto

Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS

 

Ultra-zoom camera with a 12x zoom lens

12x zoom with image stabilisation, speedy operation, manual shooting modes

Slightly soft shots, processing lag becomes annoying

A good but not great entry-level ultra-zoom, the Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS should satisfy users looking to take the next step up from a compact, as long as they can put up with a bit of lag between their shots.

With 12x zoom and optical IS, can the Z1012 measure up to the competition?

Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS

 

The Kodak Easyshare Z1012 is going to be the next flagholder for the Kodak special and high end cameras. The camera comes with a 10 megapixel resolution with a 12 x optical zoom.

Kodak Z1012 IS & Kodak Z1085 IS

 

Two Kodak cameras and each capable of rich looking 720P HD video. Whether you're looking for a big zoom or a pocket snapper, these two models have it covered.

Best American camera there is

 

The battery in the package is single use. I got a charger plus 2 Li-Ion rechargeable for $20. Works great. Box says INSTEN KOD 8000 charger 8980. Lens cap is a little annoying to deal with. But it does not impact picture quality.

Use American brand, with pride. Good picture quality. Large lens. 1-3/8 inch diameter. 12x optical zoom, beats any compact by several fold. Easy to focus, even when zoomed to max. Flash produces good lighting. Intuitive to use, after reading the 20...

Produce grainy picture when zoomed to the max, or under low light condition. This is probably true for all camera though. Manual is very brief. Go to Kodak website for more manual, or read a Canon/Nikon manual. The icons all work the same way. Bottom...

Great Camera

 

This the first really serious camera I've owned and am still learning all of the functions. It takes really beautiful pictures outdoors. Some indoor shots are fuzzy and have to be take several times, but when you get it right - WOW! The bundled...

My biggest gripe is batteries. I like rechargeables and my NI-MH batteries won't work. The Z1012 sees only Kodak propriety battery or non-rechargeable Lithiums. I think that NewEgg should offer a bundled of two KLIC-8000 rechargeables and a recharger...

Comprehensive Z1012 Review

 

Definitely read the manual - it's straight forward and intuitive. Ultra quality camera for decent price, I think that's a deal no matter how you slice it. I wonder how sturdy this thing is though, it's actually a smaller camera than most, no bigger...

Great technology - Smart Picture mode is very easy to use - point and shoot ; Great features, complete creative control ; Zoom is amazing, very fast responsive ; Quality is amazing in low light ; Some guy said the write speed is slow? He has a buggy...

Very high quality movies, but they're rendered as .mov (not a bad thing) just make sure you have quicktime to view ; HD mode is nice, but in low light environment despite the mode you're in, you'll have alot of "visual noise" in video to compensate for...
