Kodak EasyShare Z1275 Digital Camera

I bought this camera as I wanted a high megapixels at a budget price. The most I've used before was a 6 megapixel camera, so this was more of an experiment. I liked the design seen in the photos. This particular one is refurbished, I have had refurbished stuff before and have had no problem, plus this one came with a one year warranty. In the beginning I had a problem with battery power but found out with high power batteries 2500 ma or near then there was no more problem ( Kodak sends you two alkaline batteries which fizzle out quickly )I was a bit shook up at first thinking it was a camera fault. I was ready to send it back till I found out the problem. Anyway the good bit is that the camera is packed with features and shooting modes which I'm still trying out and enjoying, so far so good. It's a neat little camera and I am enjoying using it. I would say it is for the enthusiast as well as a beginner. Overall it's a good little camera for the price and you get 12million pixels to play around with. It also has a cropping facility in the camera edit which I like. I'ts extremely handy to carry around being so small. My only fear would be dropping it, as it's not a very robust bodywork like a canon powershot etc.,nevertheless if you have a good case for it and wristrap you should be okay. As I said I'm still trying the camera out, especially the various shooting modes which so far seem more reliable than just using auto mode. One last comment is I found the Kodak back up service to be very good. I had a few questions which were answered very quickly which I was pleased about. To me that's a good sign and not just that they want to get rid of some cameras and make a profit at our expense. Anyway hope this helps someone out there, sorry it's not very technical but you can probbaly find that there out on the web, regards JAM6846
