| Is is just me or has anyone else experienced a grinding noise coming from this camera?? Right out of the box, it sounds like a little motor wants to shut down. Is this normal?? I didn't expect the camera to make any noise aside from zooming in and out. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced the same thing. |

 "Very Very Bad Repair and Warranty" | 2008-04-11 |

| This camera worked good for about six months, then it would just shut down. It will turn itself off, and won't turn back on. I sent it in to be repaired while it was still under warranty. They returned the camera to me without fixing the problem. So I sent it back and now they are telling me I have to pay $150 to have the camera repaired or I can buy a different kodak camera and get 15% off. Even though the camera was sent back to me the first time without being repaired while it was under warranty, they will not fix it. Nobody at Kodak or precision camera was willing to stand behind the camera or the warranty. |

| Owned this camera less than 1 year and its in the shop for the second time. Customer support was okay the first time but sucks now because they put me on hold for so long that I didn't get the issues resolved. I'm willing to try another Z612 before switching brands because I love the picture quality and the ease of operation. |

 "The Perfect All Around Camera" | 2008-03-04 |

| I will not repeat all the positives found in reviews on this site and on others. I have owned 23 digital cameras (most for reviews) over the past 20 years, and I must say this is the best all around camera of them all. It is not quite a s good as some of the Fujis for very low light shooting, but other than that it can compete with $500 cameras easily. Picture quaility is what counts and this camera even beats my Canon G7 in that regard and easily beats the Fujis in adequate lighting. I have had no problems with this camera and have loved it from day one. With all the professional settings as well as point and shoot, it can appeal to everyone. At the price, it is a steal.Those who write negative reviews about this camera either have a defective unit or do not know how to use a camera, or think they are writing a review on a $1.000 camera. Highly recommended without reservation. |

| "Amazing Camera...Amazing Zoom" | 2008-03-04 |

| I wanted a digital camera that I could zoom onto the field of my nephew playing football and other sporting activities far away. I did extensive research on all kinds of different cameras and finally chose this one. I am SO glad I did. Thousands of extremely clear pictures and hundreds of zoomed (!) videos later I know I made the right decision for me. If you are focused on zoom and clarity you will enjoy this. |

We bought this camera a year ago for our trip to England. I switched from my point-and-shoot Sony because the zoom was completely insufficent for my purposes.
We received it a week before the trip, and I was concerned I wouldn't be able to master it before we left. I was very wrong. The controls are intuitive and well-placed. I took some of the best photos I've ever taken on that trip - and many of them at long range. The power of that 12X zoom is fantastic! Not to mention the video capabilities are more than adequate. Color stays faithful to the subject (so long as you have the right natural/atmospheric lighting).
Besides the great features, surprisingly small package, and beautiful picture quality - did I mention the camera is really cool-looking? It's startlingly novel in its chrome and brushed-nickel looking housing.
I'll be holding on to this camera for a very long time. |

| After owning many simple plain type cameras , including the throw away types , this is my first really good camera , and I am having a ball with it . This camera has more options on it than I will probably ever use, but then again , that may very well change . I take it camping with me all the time and have taken some fantastic pictures at the state parks that I visit. Close ups or far away , they all come out great.Even the video part is great . My only complaint so far is the sound from the video is not loud enough, could be better . The walls in my den are filling up with framed 8 x 10 pictures taken on camping trips.I Just purchased a tripod for it and that should help in taking videos. Excellent camera for the money . |

I bought this camera as a refurb, and I am extremely satisfied. The camera has a great manual mode, and together with a 12x optical zoom, it has proven to be a perfect intermediate step from a point-and-shoot camera to my ambition of getting a DSLR.
The only problem I have noticed is that in a few of the pictures is that the borders seem a little darker than the center (kind of like a circular frame at the four corners). This does not happen in every picture, and might be due to some setting.
On the whole, the camera is perfect for me (I take low-light pictures, wildlife pictures, as well as regular shots of people) |

I bought this camera on April 2007, and I have to say that I was really excited with its performance. I took great pictures, considering my amateur level. Unfortunately, by November 2007 it got broken.
Without any notice, from one day to another, it showed a 'tick'. The image in the viewfinder or LCD goes up and down continuously, making a still pic or exposition almost impossible.
I wont give one star to this camera because during the time I used it (about 6 months) I thought it was great for its price. For the time being, I will fire my last shot to Kodak US, since the local repair center couldn't fix the problem... =( (I got the camera via Amazon, I live outside US).
Wasn't I just lucky enough?
