 Kodak Easyshare Z1012 December 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just bought this camera at WalMart. I wanted the 12x optical zoom, ease of the camera and to maybe later do videos. The instruction booklet is far too big because it comes in many languages, but for my use what instructions I need is there and simple. So, only 25 pages are useful. I am unhappy at this time with the Kodak lithium CRV3 non - rechargeable battery that came with the camera. The camera died after about 200 shots (not including some deleted ones) and I zoomed in to crop several pictures. I also played and tested as many of the features as I could or want to. The zoomed in picture quality was very grainy and so the pictures became garbage - useless. Quite a few pictures taken outside on a clear day came out really bleached out (the subjects faces) and the colors (their clothing) were really bad. I could not fix them any where they were so bad. I'm not sure if this was due to the cameras battery getting ready to die or not. Also, once you crop a picture one time you cannot crop it again, the option is not available. I'm not sure if I will keep this camera or not. I will give it one more chance with the new Duracell CR-V3 battery I just bought, otherwise I will not invest in a charger and re chargable battery, I will just return the whole camera. I'm not crazy about the lens popping off the camera like others mentioned and I thought I wouldn't mind the bulk but a smaller camera may suit my needs better, as I take a lot of pictures and usually keep a camera with me fully charged and in my purse. I have a Sony DSC P100 that takes much better pictures, zooms in as close as I want, is light weight and easy to use. I just don't have the high zoom (it's only 7.0). We'll see if I keep the new Kodak camera.
Great Camera - Eats Batteries December 1, 2008
Picture quality is very good. Auto focus does great on still objects, but is a little slow on randomly moving objects.
Video feature is top notch
Batteries have not lasted long at all. I have ordered the Kodak rechargable battery suggested.
 Great camera with an excellent zoom ability! November 29, 2008
I have been using this camera for over a year. It's great to capture action during sporting events, even soccer from the sidelines across a big field. The strong optical zoom is great. The pictures it takes are crystal clear, sharp, and have true colors. The panorama option is incredible. It stitches three photos together seamlessly. Con's: The on/off slider switch is poorly designed. The battery does not recharge in the camera.
 DON'T BUY THIS CAMERA!!! November 25, 2008

I bought the Kodak Z1012 to replace a 8mp Kodak Easyshare P880 (a great camera by the way)
and I must say I was highly dissapointed.
The photos were grainy and the zoom made the problem worse.
10.1mp???? I don't see it!
The On/Off switch is very awkward and if you don't remove the
lense cap before you turn the camrea on, the cap pops off...
..puff...Ta Da...LOST CAP...!!
I sent the camera back, got a refund and bought a Panasonic Lumix
DCM--FZ28.
Being Fair November 24, 2008

To be fair to this camera, it is good and bad. It depends on what you're looking for in your camera.
I bought this camera in August 2008 and now it's on eBay. I upgraded from a Kodak C series point and shoot digital and thought this was the logical next step for upgrading to an SLR format. I also really like the EasyShare software.
I was very disappointed with the camera.
First of all, do not be decieved by how large this camera looks in the photograph on ANY website. It is very small and light weight. Which can go one of two ways depending on what you're looking for.
There is no fun clicking sound after you take a shot, no shutter closure, the camera makes more of a hissing sound. That can take the fun out of taking photos for some people.
The lens has a wonderful zoom of 12x optical, but the lens is slow to respond to zoom commands. The camera is slow overall and often did not turn on quickly when I went to use it. I had to turn it on and off several times before it was ready to go.
The burst mode is horrible, it lags when shooting anything and it freezes up often. Which is bad news for people shooting children in motion. Or any wildlife shots. Even in the special function modes, like sport, etc, it lags and the photos come out blurry. It's speed performance leaves a lot to be desired and I ended up shooting in automatic mode more often then I wanted to b/c I knew I would miss critical shots if I changed the settings.
I used the fireworks setting for shooting fireworks at Walt Disney World and all of the photos ended up blurry. I was stood as still as I could while the shot was being processed and none of them were usable. Once I switched to shutter priority and set the shutter speed very low, I was able to capture some nice shots. So the fireworks setting was useless.
10.1 megapixels does not a good camera make. It's nice to have if you're blowing up shots to the size of a billboard, but otherwise, if you're getting sucked in by the high MP, look elsewhere. It's just not that important in a camera this small.
The f number has a surprisingly high setting at 2.8. I was able to shoot in apeture priority quite a bit and get some very beautiful macro photos. The borkeh was beautiful and the depth of field was lovely. The photos I am most proud of that I took with this camera are the ones shot in apeture priority.
Every shot I took in Program mode came back blurry. Even professional photographers that I know who used P mode couldn't quite get it. So back to the auto setting.
Manual mode was a waste since this zoom lens is too hard to control for manual shots. It's fine for manual macro shots, but, otherwise, another miss.
The Shutter Priority mode is just ok. Since the camera is really slow overall, it's not much of an improvement to change the shutter priority to anything fast, since it's never really fast at all. The click to capture best in class award must be a joke. Seriously, there is no speed with this camera.
The flash always fires, even when I had the flash turned off and wanted to shoot in natural light. That was impossible to overcome.
The camera does not come with a battery. You can expect to purchase an alkaline battery and the recharger separetely. So the camera does not work out of the box. You can use regular AA batteries, but they will be drained within a day. You also have to purchase extra memory cards. The camera held maybe 20 pictures without the memory card.
If you're not into using the viewfinder, then you're in luck since this camera comes equiped with the option to use either the viewfinder or the monitor for picture-taking.
The battery life seemed to be fine. I used it all day on several vacations and trips and even when the battery started to get low, I would turn off the camera and that gave the battery a boost. It charges up quickly which is a nice turnaround feature. The small size of the camera is nice for traveling with and easy for carrying around. It can be mounted to a tripod, if you so desire.
The worst part about this camera is the speed of it is just totally lacking. The additional modes to use are pretty worthless, but it's is nice to have advanced settings (PASM) to experiement with. You're better off with a regular point and shoot if you're not into creative photography. If you're into exploring photos and taking more creative shots and learning more, then this camera is a SKIP. Do not waste your money or time on it. Go for something like the Canon Rebel XSi or the Nikon 40D. Spend a couple of hundred dollars more to get exactly what you want (or save money and just stick with a point and shoot.)
I just upgraded to the Canon 40D and skipped over all the step-up cameras and went for the one I knew I'd end up.
The class this camera belongs to is confusing...it's not a point and shoot and it's not a true SLR...
Last point - HD video. I took HD video of my 3 year old trick or treating with my niece. It would have been a nice keepsake, but when I played the video back, it was extremely choppy. It wasn't even watchable since it cut in and out from start to finish. That feature was disappointing to say the least. I planned to send it off to my brother who lives some distance from me, but since it wasn't watchable and we couldnt' even tell what was going on, I never did send it.
