"Opticat performance Excellent, Audio recording AGC Distorted. Kodak should recall this model ASAP"
Pros: Hi Zoom, HD Still and Video, Fast performance, Image Stabilation
Cons: No external Flash or Shoe, 2.5" LCD Fixed, No Video Pause. Sound recording bad with loud sound music, Very Distorted Unuseable, Cannot turn off sound recording, Accy len adapter makes shadow in wide.
Summary: Nice looking, great feel, hi performance optical except for bad sound recording with 2 new factory sealed units from the Kodak Store.
The model should be recalled as it has an engineering problem with AGC and sound recording level with loud or live music makes the video and still sound narration unuseable. Kodak refuses to acknowledge they have a sound problem. Kodaks $79 C513 and my $30 cassette recorder record clearer sound than this camera. No feature to turn off sound recording. Otherwise a very nice camera. The faulty sound recording released without field testing will fail this camera out of its class of high performance HD, and High Zoom cameras. Do Not buy this model until Kodak recalls and corrects this serious sound distortion problem, or replaces all Z812 IS sold after they do correct this bad sound problem.

Buy a camcorder for those loud head banging concerts you want to film. This is a great "CAMERA" for the price, and takes above average "pictures". Your rating of this model # is based on the video as it should not be. Video on cameras are only for convenience. That's way you won't find video on an SLR.
