Each time you click the shutter, the KODAK Color Science Chip performs an advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and adjust multiple factors that influence picture quality.
- High Speed Performance
- Using dual sensing technologies, the Easyshare Z812 IS provides a high speed, auto focus system that is effective in both low light and bright light situations, and there is also continuous auto focus which provides an impressive 0.23 second click-to-capture time (with preview on). Furthermore the camera has two burst modes; the First Burst mode captures up to 5 frames in rapid succession at 2 fps, while the Last Burst mode captures up to 30 frames at 2 fps, with the last 5 frames saved.
- Kodak Perfect Touch and Face Detection Technologies
- For great shots of your family and friends, face detection technology locates up to 10 faces and automatically adjusts the focus and exposure for you to maximize the visibility and appearance of the subject faces. Then print better, brighter and more vivid pictures using Kodak Perfect Touch Technology.
- High Quality Video Recording
- Choose settings for HD Video (1280 x 720 @ 30 fps), VGA (640 x 480 pixels @ 30 fps), or QVGA (320 x 240 pixels @ at 30 fps) video recording with stereo sound and capture up to 80 minutes of continuous video, depending upon available memory, or record 5, 15, or 30 second clips. Video is recorded in the universal QuickTime Video format using MPEG-4 compression, so sharing video clips with family and friends is a snap.
- Manual and Auto Controls
- The camera provides a complete range of manual exposure and focus controls for the ultimate creative experience. These manual controls include exposure compensation, aperture control, shutter speed control, ISO Adjust, multiple focusing modes, exposure metering selections, multiple white balance modes, and more. There are also a host of auto control modes including program auto, and custom modes. There are even five color modes (High color, Low color, Natural color, Black and white, Sepia), and an image sharpness control feature.
- Programmed Scene Modes
- To provide greater image quality for those users who are unfamiliar with typical Manual exposure control features, The Kodak Z812 IS includes a series of Programmed Scene Modes. Using these scene modes changes the camera settings to provide the best possible image quality and exposure settings for these unique shooting situations.
- 2.5" LCD with Histogram Feature
- Frame your shots with the high-resolution electronic viewfinder (EVF) or with the 2.5" indoor/outdoor color LCD, and then verify the exposure of your pictures using the histogram feature with highlight clipping. The LCD Display lets you view your pictures right-side-up with auto picture rotation and in review mode, quickly magnify images up to 8x to confirm focus and details, fast scroll through pictures, or view multi up images.
- Picture Enhancing and Editing Features
- On-camera cropping lets users frame pictures on the spot without the need for a computer, and the digital red-eye reduction eliminates red eye while capturing a picture in real time.

I use this camera for a small carry, point and shoot. I was very pleased with the quality especially with the HD feature and the photos look fantastic. I'm a professional photographer for 32 years and a memeber of the Press Photographer association NAPP. If you use a fast SD card it will work fairly fast loading down from the card.

Comments about Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS Zoom Digital Camera:
This is a fine camera for its type and, particularly, its price.
If you want to take good pictures, learn more about digital photography, and not spend a large amount of money then this is the camera to get.
The lens is great; it's real glass and not cheap plastic and its diameter is large compared to many other cameras in this price range.
You can use the camera in Automatic mode and get great pictures. You can also, when you want to, use Manual mode and learn how to control light and exposure time. It can provide good training for later moving up to a more expensive DSLR camera.
I actually have the older model, a Z710. They keep improving it, mainly by adding more megapixels. Look for the 'Z' in the model number.
The Z812 is an excellent camera that you will like and will keep. It's light enough to travel with you but advanced enough to get good pictures and provide flexibility for your shooting needs.
I also bought a Tamrac Expedition 3 back pack to hold the camera and accessories, such as a cleaning kit, spare batteries, etc.
This is a great value in a good camera.
