Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS

$250.00 Released April, 2008

The Pros:Works reliably in normal light, finds the subject and captures a great picture every time. Extreme zoom remains sharp and clear. Internal panorama stitching works well, easy to do.

The Cons:Auto-focus struggles a bit in low light conditions. Documentation is sparse, barely covers any of the functions. Lots of lag, burst mode doesn't work very well.

The Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS is a digital camera that falls in the middle of the Z-Series of Kodac EasyShare cameras. Like all cameras in the Z-series, this model is capable of capturing true HD pictures and video in 16:9 format.
