I just buy kodak z612 from us , its cost $210 , nearly 8.5k without external mamory card , i found this cam is cool WITH all pics , I did .. lot of R&D , altough this is my first digi cam .but I have some professional idea about cam in my view this is best buy at this price with lot of features, but this is not for those who just want a digi cam , you have to have know what a big zoom means , and how to use this while lot of diffrent people including gals has snapped from this and no singal image is bad .
Good :12 x optcal good 6.1 MP image stablization works V well in day light and best of that u can shoot macro , to land scape with amazing quality and video (i have not checked this )BEST OF PRICEbad:in night long zoom is blurred in hand , in tripod I have not tried there is nothing to increase white balance if make changes in apparture and iso , that reflect in snap but its dos’t show at LCD /EVF on run time all bad is is negligible things and that do not used much if u asked from my side just buy this .dont waste time ... this is best deal u can find my snaps at https://picasaweb.google.com/paresh.mishra23/Flower/photo#s5070717984794631346and with technical stuff https://picasaweb.google.com/paresh.mishra23/NewStuffOnSnappingWithKodakAz612/photo#s5070981760211115378paresh
