ThinkCamera 's conclusion / rating - 14 December 2007 |
Still, if you are looking for an affordable camera that offers more features than your average point and shoot snapper there's still a lot on offer here - especially if video takes up a large part of your wish list. A few issues about colour reproduction aside, we feel the Kodak does a good job at providing that little bit more, but without the extra bulk or expense of buying into the 'proper' SLR world...

While it isn't the best ultra zoom on the market, Kodak's EasyShare Z812IS is a good all around package combining a ton of features with solid image quality and a big zoom. The high-definition video recording in particular will appeal to some users...

Video lovers may be strongly attracted to the Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS for its high definition video capabilities. There are also some other motivations, including its compact size, 12x optically stabilized zoom lens, and affordable price. Consumers should note, however, that those specs come with a few blemishes.
In terms of image quality, the Z812 IS doesnt perform as well as top ultra-zooms from other manufacturers, such as the Panasonic Lumix FZ18, Canon Powershot S5 IS, or Sony Cyber-shot H7. The Kodak Z812 IS has one of the slowest processing times we have seen. At high ISO settings, images suffer from extreme noise smoothing, which destroys fine image detail. The camera also has disappointing color and white balance accuracy. On the up side, our tests show the camera has very good resolution, good dynamic range, great versatility in low light, and decent video capture.
The Kodak Z812 IS is competitively priced, at about $100 less than most ultra-zoom compacts, and is certainly less expensive than the other HD video output still camera, the Canon PowerShot TX1. The $279.95 price, however, isnt counting the extra $100 users will need to throw in for the Kodak HDTV dock to actually watch HD video.
Overall the EasyShare Z812 IS is an affordable ultra-zoom that takes decent images for the price. However, there are models by competing manufacturers that cost about $100 more that offer more zoom and better overall image quality...

DigitalCameraReview 's conclusion / rating - 29 October 2007 |
Consumers buy mega-zoom digicams because they want a camera that provides most of the benefits of a digital SLR without the bulk and expense of a modular imaging system, but there are currently so many worthy options that its very difficult to choose. The Z812 IS delivers SLR-like handling, lots of nifty features, surprisingly good performance, excellent image quality, and P&S (point and shoot) ease of use and it does it at a conspicuously lower price than the competition...

PhotoReview 's conclusion / rating - 29 October 2007 |
Kodak's EasyShare Z812 IS sports an 8.2-megapixel imager and optically-stabilised Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 12x zoom lens, which covers angles of view equivalent to 36-432mm in 35mm format. A 2.5-inch 'indoor/outdoor' LCD cover much of the rear panel and the camera supports auto, P, A, S and M shooting modes plus a 'Smart Scene' mode that evaluates the scene and automatically selects the best scene mode and sensitivity setting...
