One of the newer compact non-SLR point-and-shoot cameras to compete in the recent SLR video boom, the Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS is turning some heads.
Crunch Gear had the following to say:
This camera is really, really light. It’s surprisingly light. You could easily forget that this thing was in your pocket. It’s got a fast start up time, which means you’re less likely to miss those impromptu shots. The auto focus is fairly fast, and certainly adequate for most casual users.
However, the camera might preform well, but the user interface seems to be a pretty big problem:
The on-screen user interface is sluggish. The menus aren’t entirely unintuitive, they’re just laborious to navigate due to the slow response. This is probably not a bad thing for a more patient user, but for an instant gratification fanatic like myself, this was a turn off.
Consumer Reports also called the Kodak a great camera for the price, with the EasyShare taking a spot in the magazine’s top 100 products of 2008 list and toping off its “superzoom point-and-shoot” catagory.
To me, the camera is kind of a cheap camera with okay specs. I wouldn’t go with it because I’d feer it would give out on me in a time of need. But, for the price, the reviewers might be right.
