Kodak EasyShare Z1275

I bought a Kodak Z1275 at Office Depot. The camera was on sale for $169. It was a very excellent deal for such a great product. This camera comes with 12mp (3000 X 4000) resolution for pictures and it has HD video of 720p, so it can take movies that are 1280 X 720 without interlace. The LCD screen of this wonderful digital camera is big and bright so you can see the scene without any problems. All the camera controls are big and easy to use so that even a fat finger like me has no trouble getting the buttons to work.

What I like the most about the Kodak Z1275 is the low cost and that it takes HD video. Many movie modes in other cameras are 320X240, but the Kodak Z1275 is HD so it takes 1280X720 which is clear and sharp. I use the camera to take pictures for web sites and plan to use it for Ebay because it has a macro close up mode. The audio output is loud and so that you can review the video and make deletions. There is even in camera editing available to you. This high end feature is rare in digital video cameras that sell for less than $200.

However, there are a few complaints. The HD movie mode eats the battery for breakfast. Also there is no loud warning beep that the battery is low to alert you pop in two more AA batteries. The picture could be sharper, and the 5X zoom is barely adequate. Still, I am quite happy to have purchased the Kodak Z1275 and plan to use it a lot.
