THIS CAMERA IS BETTER IN MANY WAYS BUT NOT NEARLY IN ALL WAYS THAN COMPETING CAMERAS COSTING MUCH MORE MONEY. I WAS HAPPY ENOUGH WITH IT TO REPLACE IT WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION OF IT, THE KODAK EASYSHARE Z1485 CAMERA, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THAT THE Z1485 IS BETTER THAN THIS THIS CAMERA IN QUITE A FEW WAYS OTHER THAN THE INCREASE IN TOTAL AVAILABLE PICTURE ELEMENTS (PIXELS). THE KODAK Z1275 CAMERA IS ESSENTIALLY IDENTICAL TO THE Z1285 FROM ANYTHING THAT I CAN SEE OTHER THAN ITS COLOR.
Close ups, brightlight, nightime, you name it, it really performs, particularly if it is on the proper settings. I purchased this camera for my daughter as her first digital camera. The automatic settings do a ho hum job, so it is best to read the manual on the specific settings and use those. I really hesitated getting this one because of all the diverse ratings on this, but the price prompted me to take a chance. This camera does a fantastic job. My only complaint is that the review screen is hard to see in direct sunlight. I strongly recommend this camera and do yourself a favor, just glance at the manual.
The clarity and color is phenomonal. I previously owned the Kodak EasyShare 6.1 MP camera and thought it was time to move up to a smaller camera with higher MP. What I don't like is the picture on the screen after you take the photos can sometimes be grainy. I found the Kodak Easy Share to be sooo easy, I wanted to stick with that brand. I am extremely happy with the way the photos come out once printed. The photo that is printed does NOT come out grainy, but while reviewing the memory for some reason a few (not all) photos are grainy. The smaller size is great, but not so small that I can't hang onto the camera wihtout pressing other buttons.
I did this three times and every time I got it back there was something else wrong with the camera. however, my experince was terrible with this camera as far as the reliablility. Kodak EasyShare Z1285 12.0MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical ZoomI bought this camera (kodak easyshare z1285) spending a little extra than I wanted to thinking I was getting a good name brand. the second time it was the review button would not work at all. the featers were decent I suppose but the camera shutter froze up shortly after I bought it (brand new at walmart) I kept very good care of the camera and it had only been less than a month. so i naturly went through the whole process of returning it.waiting to weeks to get it back. I took the batter out and restarted.called customer service.ect. ended up sending the camera back.again and again until my warrentee ran out and not Im stuck with a camera that has the zoom stuck all the way out and will not even turn on.
We bought this so my wife could have a simple camera to take pictures of the grandkids and for eBay. It was great for that - at least while it worked. After 4 months the camera froze. Kodak was useless - if you can't fix it by swapping batteries they don't know what to do.Save your money - buy a different camera.
