Kodak Easyshare P712 [Posted on 2007-11-03]
This is a great digital camera. It's light weight and the 2.5 LCD screen is a super size for me. I don't know a lot about digital camera's, but I know that I really like this one. I enjoy taking a lot of pictures, and I mainly take them in 'auto' mode. But this super camera has so many optional modes. I'm a little shaky so I really like the fact that it has the 'stabilizer'. I also bought the 'wide angle zoom' lens and had to buy the Kodak Adaptor for it. I wanted to zoom a little further than the impressionable 12x zoom aloud me. This is quite a unique camera and I truly enjoy using it.

Great Camera! [Posted on 2007-12-08]
I own the P712 and have had mine since July 2007. This camera is rugged and a real performer. I originally started with a Z740 Kodak point and shoot and moved up to the P712 because of the good results I had with my Z740. The accessory lenses (55mm) I had purchased for the Z740 worked just fine with the P712 and I've been doing a huge amount of macro photography with the new set up.
I do note that in movie mode, the motor noise of this camera is very noticeable, but luckily, that is a rare mode I select with this bridge camera. The battery life is somewhere around 250 - 270 shots per charge and I did buy a second battery to keep me shooting for extended day photo shoots.
The menus are easy to understand and I've been pleased with the image stabilization. I do recommend that you get a nice tripod set and beanbag for macro work, since even the image stabilization is overcome by camera shake at the magnification levels needed for macro shots.
I did purchase the flash attachment specifically for this camera and was very pleased with the results. All in all, a very good purchase and one I have no regrets about. My only wish is that Kodak will bring back it's professional line and focus on building high-end DSLR cameras since I've become loyal to the brand and think the world of the cameras I have purchased from them.
I recommend the P712 for the user who isn't quite ready for a DSLR and who wants enough control over photographs to do interesting work and yet still has the benefit of automation of exposure working for you.
The P712 is a good camera and worth every penny! Buy it!

This is the third Kodak Digital camera I have owned and the best yet. The problem with past digital cameras,not just Kodak, was shutter lag. Press the shutter and the camera shot the picture a moment later. Not good for action shots.
The Kodak P712 shutter is nearly instantaneous, like a film camera. The 12X zoom is a great feature as well.
The only down side to this camera is the zoom is a little noisy. A small price to pay for a great camera.
Never had a problem with a Kodak camera. Nice to know American quality can build a product to compete with imports.

Yes I bought this one too. Then sold my P850 very soon after. Read my review for the P850 http://www.amazon.com/review/R18JLYOTY8JU4U/ref=cm_cr_rev_detup_redir?%5Fencoding=UTF8&cdPage=1&newContentID=Mx2CXEXVNFXORIW#Mx2VXWDT72Y2HQF
then double it. That's how I feel about this camera. Superb picture quality, faster focus, better low light performance and Raw burst mode. An overal better camera than the previous model. I just wish that the internal buffer was larger and the write speed was faster. But
