Comments about Kodak Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS Zoom Digital Camera, 8.2 Megapixel, 12x Optical & 4.2x Digital Zoom, 2.5" LCD Screen, Black:

This is a fine camera for its type and, particularly, its price.
If you want to take good pictures, learn more about digital photography, and not spend a large amount of money then this is the camera to get.
The lens is great; it's real glass and not cheap plastic and its diameter is large compared to many other cameras in this price range.
You can use the camera in Automatic mode and get great pictures. You can also, when you want to, use Manual mode and learn how to control light and exposure time. It can provide good training for later moving up to a more expensive DSLR camera.
I actually have the older model, a Z710. They keep improving it, mainly by adding more megapixels. Look for the 'Z' in the model number.
The Z812 is an excellent camera that you will like and will keep. It's light enough to travel with you but advanced enough to get good pictures and provide flexibility for your shooting needs.
I also bought a Tamrac Expedition 3 back pack to hold the camera and accessories, such as a cleaning kit, spare batteries, etc.
This is a great value in a good camera.

This is an all around great camera for that step below the D-SLR. It is a great learning tool for the novice photographer who would like to learn about manual photography. Top notch images.

This camera is as fast as my Canon Rebel XTi; compact so it's easy to carry; full menu on LCD or EVF; I just toss it in my bag so I never have to travel without a camera anymore. Buy a rechargeable LI-ion battery.
