Summary: I love kodak cameras
Comment: I had an old Kodak 4530 (which I dropped into Lake Michigan)...ooopps! It was still working but was a slow camera. I love the almost instant ready feature on the Z1012. Turn it on and it's ready to go! Also the 3 picture right-after-another feature is great for action shots, (like the dogs running in the surf of Lake Michigan!) (I won't drop this one). The zoom on it is also great. Having used a kodak before, the buttons and menu's are similar, so it was easy enough to adjust. But, I still haven't even begun to use all the features on this camera.

Summary: Kodak Easyshare Z1012
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great Camera - Eats Batteries
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great camera with an excellent zoom ability!
Comment: 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.

Summary: DON'T BUY THIS CAMERA!!!
Comment: 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.
