A little disappointed May 1, 2008 Halloween Girlie (Los Angeles, CA) Is is just me or has anyone else experienced a grinding noise coming from this camera?? Right out of the box, it sounds like a little motor wants to shut down. Is this normal?? I didn't expect the camera to make any noise aside from zooming in and out. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced the same thing.
Very Very Bad Repair and Warranty April 11, 2008 S. K. Johnson (New Meadows, ID) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This camera worked good for about six months, then it would just shut down. It will turn itself off, and won't turn back on. I sent it in to be repaired while it was still under warranty. They returned the camera to me without fixing the problem. So I sent it back and now they are telling me I have to pay $150 to have the camera repaired or I can buy a different kodak camera and get 15% off. Even though the camera was sent back to me the first time without being repaired while it was under warranty, they will not fix it. Nobody at Kodak or precision camera was willing to stand behind the camera or the warranty.
Unreliable April 9, 2008 J. G. Young (Benicia, Ca.) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Owned this camera less than 1 year and its in the shop for the second time. Customer support was okay the first time but sucks now because they put me on hold for so long that I didn't get the issues resolved. I'm willing to try another Z612 before switching brands because I love the picture quality and the ease of operation.
The Perfect All Around Camera March 4, 2008 Zen Williston (Heavenly Valley, NV United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I will not repeat all the positives found in reviews on this site and on others. I have owned 23 digital cameras (most for reviews) over the past 20 years, and I must say this is the best all around camera of them all. It is not quite a s good as some of the Fujis for very low light shooting, but other than that it can compete with $500 cameras easily. Picture quaility is what counts and this camera even beats my Canon G7 in that regard and easily beats the Fujis in adequate lighting. I have had no problems with this camera and have loved it from day one. With all the professional settings as well as point and shoot, it can appeal to everyone. At the price, it is a steal.Those who write negative reviews about this camera either have a defective unit or do not know how to use a camera, or think they are writing a review on a $1.000 camera. Highly recommended without reservation.
Amazing Camera...Amazing Zoom March 4, 2008 G.O.B. Bluth (San Diego, Ca.) I wanted a digital camera that I could zoom onto the field of my nephew playing football and other sporting activities far away. I did extensive research on all kinds of different cameras and finally chose this one. I am SO glad I did. Thousands of extremely clear pictures and hundreds of zoomed (!) videos later I know I made the right decision for me. If you are focused on zoom and clarity you will enjoy this.
