"WOW is all I can say!" on July 6, 2007 by surgeon1919

Pros: Image quality, speed, size, overall build quality, image quality!! Image stabilizer

Cons: Kodak changed the menus a tad too much, slighly weak macro, doesn't come with rechargeable baterry or charger.

Summary: This camera can take pictures! It has the ability to meter the light properly allowing the pictures to be super clear. It must have somekind of face detection because when I zoom onto a person's face even just a little and I move the camera, the detected subject lock tries to stick to the person's face.The flash is great and you can adjust the flash compensation while in PASM. The PASM mode brings a nice level of control for those who like to manually control the camera. This camera is also very fast. Not even a second after you turn it on, will you be able to take a picture. Write speed is fast but could be faster. The LCD screen is 2.5 inch big, it's nice and clear but not SUPER sharp but no complaints over this whatsoever. Overall, a very nice improvement over my Kodak Z650.

I also forgot to mention the image stabilizer works very well and the battery life is also fantastic even with IS always turned on. The high ISO mode works very well and the pictures have barely any noise when the flash is used and of course are noisy but actually still pretty nice. The fireworks setting is perfect. Canada Day fireworks pictures turned out fantastic! The videos are super smooth but image quality could be a bit better. Indoor shots are also very crisp. To conclude, you won't be disapointed!!

I have owned a Z712 IS for over two months and it takes great photos. I just took photos of a friend water skiing with the boat bouncing quite a bit and at least 80% of the photos were sharp. The stabilizer really works and the 12/1 zoom really brings in your subjects. My only complaint is that the rechargeable battery and charger is not included. Buy it directly thru Kodak, it's much cheaper than Best Buy or Circuit City.
