4 out of 5 stars good Camera   September 1, 2008
J. A. Hunter (Albany, NY,USA)
Good Camera- Pictures are clear and sharp. NiMH batteries are good. I did not rate it 5 stars because of the batteries. It was listed as a Kodak package, which had 4 rechargeable batteries. That was correct, but they did not say it would not work for charging on the Kodak series 3 printer.
The pictures print, but the battery will not charge. This means switching the battery every time it runs down and using another charger, which they did send with the batteries. I must now buy Kodak batteries, or be aggravated every time I have to switch them.



3 out of 5 stars Kodak Easy share Z1285 12.1 MP Digital Camera   September 1, 2008
Peter L. Hallas (Yelm, WA)
I've had this camera for a few weeks now and havew taken many pictures with it. The photos are generally good, but not as good as I would expect for a 12.1mp camera. It is difficult to accurately compose photos with the digital screen. the screen is often difficult to see well in bright light. the functions are somewhat complicated if you're used to a point and shoot camera, but I'm sure will become more familiar with time and review of the operators manual. I am not unhappy with the camera however and would recommend it to those who have the time and patience to learn to use it properly.


2 out of 5 stars Good for daytime still photos ONLY....   August 23, 2008

I have had several Easyshares. I got this one hoping fo better results, BUT its like the others.
These take terrible low-light pictures, terrible macro-pictures, terrible back-lit pictures. If you go to a concert don't even THINK about taking this camera, you'll be highly disapointed.
It does take VERY GOOD pictures in daylight or in situations where it is well lit and the target is stationary.
Ease of use, battery life, and downloading are all excellent, 5 out of 5.



2 out of 5 stars Turns off when I zoom...   August 8, 2008

When I bought this camera 2 months ago I was so pleased and thought all the bad press was b/c folks got lemons...I got one too it seems. Even when I fully charge the battery, the camera has started to just turn off whenever I zoom in or out. I am stuck with whatever the lens picks up at the distance I am.
I will be returning it.



5 out of 5 stars Kodak Easyshare Z1285 - Great Little Camera   August 1, 2008
Gregory Jepsen (Gloversville, NY United States)
I give the Kodak Easyshare Z1285 camera a huge thumbs-up! It's a great little camera that does a lot of stuff. It has automatic settings for all sorts of different picture-taking situations, as well settings that can be easily manipulated manually. This also includes a manual focus in the P/M manual mode. The pictures are crystal clear, and provide great prints. The pictures are clear enough to blow-up to a 30" x 40" sized poster print. I'm no longer limited to a 4" x 6" print, as I was with my older camera. The videos are also crystal clear. Although it's not a camcorder, it does take incredibly beautiful and fairly long videos. I think buying the camera was definitely money well spent. I highly recommend it to anyone that's looking for an easy camera to operate, that provides either automatic or manual settings, takes great pictures and video, and is fairly priced. This is the one to buy!
