Awesome camera for a great price! email this discussion to a friend?

I don't personally own this camera, YET. I do have the older model with 8 megapixels though. If you're looking for a good camera with great specs, including 12.1 megapixels, video capabilities, HD resolution and other stuff, AND at a great price, I would recommend checking this one out. Whenever I get the chance I will be buying myself one.

I can't paste on this site yet, so if you want to check it out, go to Bestbuy.com and search for Kodak Z1285. I think Walmart has it on their site too.

I am looking for an extra camera, I take photos for a band and I have learnt it is a good idea to always have a second camera, but what I have noticed with digital cameras there is always a couple of seconds delay from pressing the button to when the photo actually takes which is a nightnmare when taking stage shots, this is even with the red eye function off so if when you get your camera I would be interested to know if this happens with this camera...I hope you get your camera and I hope you are happy with it...


myLot reputation of 88/100. jrum68 (136)   ranked 4 out of 126 in digital camera  3 months ago

Yeah, the delay can suck. As I said, I have the older model of this camera and I can say that the delay was not bad at all. I would suggest looking into this camera. It's only $199 which is a great deal for a 12.1 mp camera that can take videos and is in HD resolution.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lilaclady (14400)   ranked 11 out of 126 in digital camera  3 months ago

Thank you for that, i had actually been thinking maybe SLR with a zoom lense but it would havre to be a good deal as they are expensive...

Lilac,

If you are doing photos of a band you really might want to consider a DSLR as well, point and shoots are good but every point and shoot I've had has had delays with taking shots, especially in low light shots.

I also have to say that most cameras have red eye function built into them, you just have to get into the set up.

But the delay that I would suffer with night shots and low light shots is something I didn't want to deal with anymore.

I also wanted something that you could use a flash with.

And you can get a D40 iwth a lens for 600 or less --and it might be something you could save in a year or less for on mylot.

Check out DSLR's, and good luck towards your dream o a better camera.

Mooch

I just got this camera the other day.

As for the previous posters question, there is a delay still with the image capture, but not nearly as long as it used to be. It's about half a second, maybe less. There is a way to turn this off on most Kodak camera's now, I managed to do it on my old one. Have you tried taking it to a camera shop to have them look at it? Thats what I did with mine and they managed to get the delay off.

Back to this camera, it is one of the easiest to use so far. The thing is truly idiot proof. The only thing you have to do is put the memory card in, and theres a cute little arrow to tell you how. Then turn on and shoot.

Enjoy your camera, you'll love it. Something tells me though, based on your profile picture, that you did not get the hot pink one that mylot uses as the icon...:)


myLot reputation of 88/100. jrum68 (136)   ranked 4 out of 126 in digital camera  3 months ago

Haha... no, I think I'll pass on the hot pink camera. Good to hear that this really is a good camera. Hopefully I'll have the money to buy it sometime soon. I like the Kodak C875 I have now, but this newer one is way better.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lilaclady (14400)   ranked 11 out of 126 in digital camera  3 months ago

Yes I think I might take my camera along with me to a camera shop when I buy my second one and see if they can take the delay out of both for me, good idea thanks for that..

point and shoots are good cameras and they have come a long way since my first digital camera, and while I have a 2-3 year old Sony DSC h-5 I am ditching the point and shoot and bought my first high end DSLR a Nikon D300,

I will be keepin gmy point nd shoot Sony for now but I can't wait to get my Nikon.

Point and shoots are great, but I've had my fill of them and really want to o something with some kick to it...
Mooch

Heres a review of it. I own a Canon PowerShotA540 4Z zoom and 6.0 MegaPixels. It's not the greatest but it does a super job for a camera in this range.
