Strengths: Great zoom, compatible with different types of batteries and easy to use

Weaknesses: No view-finder, Absence of lens-cap, average battery life

The Kodak Z8612IS Digital Camera is an 8.1 mega pixel camera that is simple to use. The Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 12x optical zoom lens is its biggest asset.

The image quality is etches its competitors to a far end. Even fast movements are captured by the camera instantly and clearly. Kodak has included the Perfect Touch Technology to solve the problem of dark shadows. Photos can be printed by simply connecting the Kodak Z8612 IS to any PictBridge-enabled printer with the help of the PictBridge technology. The Optical image stabilization works great to avoid blur-free images. The Kodak Z8612IS Digital Camera comes with the award-winning Kodak EasyShare Software that lets add fresh twists to your memorable pictures.

On the downside, the Z8612IS consumes quite a lot of time to get the flash ready as well as to store the shots taken. This can be a snappy affair for frequent photography sessions. This sturdy camera has a sober finish and doesn’t possess great looks. The lens is prone to external abrasion because of the missing lens cap. You will have to rely on the 2.5-inch high resolution LCD monitor as a back-up for view-finder while framing a few shots.
The Kodak Z8612IS Digital Camera is not teeming with advanced features but will prove a fine pick for beginners and amateur photographers.
