The Kodak Easyshare Z812 IS digital camera has been given the thumbs up by reviewers after making a powerful impression with its high quality photographs and compact size. Unveiled in August, the device has a 12 x optical zoom lens and a 8.2 megapixel sensor that Kodak says will help users “get in touch with [their] inner photographer”.

As well as taking high-definition stills, owners of the Kodak Z812 IS will also benefit from a 30 frames per second video capture facility.

Howard Creech, of digitalcamerareview. com, was broadly positive about the device, despite the fierce competition from other similar cameras.

“The Z812 IS offers users impressive responsiveness, super images with very accurate colour, a nice selection of useful features, loads of creative flexibility, direct access to the most commonly changed/adjusted camera settings, and a lower price than most of its competition.”

He added: “The very compact Z812 IS delivers SLR-like features and performance, a nice balance of tweakability and flexibility, and P&S (point and shoot) ease of use at a much lower price than a comparable dSLR.”
