The Kodak EasyShare Z1275 Zoom Digital Camera incorporates a 5x all-glass zoom lens in a suprisingly compact camera body. The Camera records images with resolution up to 12.1 megapixels, and features a 2.5" display. It also has Kodak Perfect Touch Technology for automated image enhancement, on-camera cropping, a histogram dispaly and a vast array of user-friendly features.

The camera also incorporates digital image stabilization to ensure sharp images when shooting in low light or fast moving subjects. Twenty programmed scene modes (e.g., party, fireworks, children) and five color modes are available to help capture the best shot with the least effort, and the EasyShare Z1275 camera also records TV-quality VGA video at up to 30 frames per second using advanced MPEG-4 compression.
On-camera picture-enhancing features include cropping, auto picture rotation, digital red-eye reduction, and blurry picture alert. The EasyShare Z1275 also integrates Kodak's Share button with its 'favorites' feature for storing multiple pictures in an on-camera digital photo album. Each picture can then be shared anytime on the camera's high-resolution LCD display, or print and share your pictures by using the Kodak EasyShare system.

And if an appropriate scene mode cannot be detected, the camera will default to Auto Mode. With the Smart Scene mode, you can shoot without even thinking about the camera settings.
- Shoot High Quality Video in HD Format
- Shoot continuous VGA video (640 x 480 at 30 fps), or record HD video (1280 x 720 at 30 fps) featuring audio capture and playback, and capture more video while using less memory with MPEG-4 compression. There is also a video print option to produce 4, 9, or 16 up prints captured from your video clips. The camera also features audio only capture, and on-camera video editing.

Comments about Kodak EasyShare Z1275 Zoom Digital Camera:
It's an excellent camera. A very powerful lens. A complete functions "in-camera" to edit and adjust photos "on the road".
The software is funny but do not expect a professional functions.
The camera use "AA" batteries, this is excellent (cost-performance). I suggest to buy a NiHM batteries.
I encountered a bad characteristic: the time between shots, depending on the settings (auto scene, manual, etc) is too long, also without flash (is not a recharge-flash problem).
Excellent Video Record quality (HDTV), but if you use the zoom during the video record, the sound of the "zoom" will appear over any other sound in the movie.
Comments about Kodak EasyShare Z1275 Zoom Digital Camera:
I love this camera, all the same great Kodak features and more. Auto & manual settings, more ISO settings. I especially like the panoramic feature that stitches the photos right in the camera, no transferring to computer software to stitch. You can also edit, enhance and crop right in the camera. Only hitch is fill flash is not available in the auto mode.
Expertise: Advanced Amateur/Hobby
Problems Encountered: I have encountered no problems with this camera and with my experience with Kodak products I don't expect any problems.
