5 out of 5 stars Great Balance in a Digital Camera   November 1, 2008

I received this camera a couple of months ago, and I am so glad I purchased this model. First I love the size. The Z8612-IS has a large optical lens like a Digital SLR which produces the outstanding clarity I expect. Second, it is much lighter and easier to travel with than a digital SLR. You can still use threaded lens adapters and filters too.

The camera has a lot of capability but it is not so complicated as some of the digital SLRs. I like a cameria that has manual settings and priority modes - although I think most digital camers have these features.

Then there is the fact that it is am American company. Now I know it is made overseas - but at least it is an American company and that is better than buying a Japanese brand in terms of helping our economy.

The value for the price is really outstanding as well.. I paid $209 in August and now they are about $40 less. It is one of the best photography buys of my life. I just returned from a hike in the forests along the Hudson river and now have a hundred wonderful photos of the beautiful autmun trees. The photos ar exceptional crisp and sharp and I used the close up setting to take artist pics of numerous textures.

Good Job Kodak!!

12X optical zoom with stabilization is outstanding
Easy to use
Full manual control or P/S simplicity
Color of pix are true and vibrant
No issues to this point
Well worth taking a look at.
If you want accurate facial tones and clear crisp images, than this camera should be on your short list.
