Kodak Easy Share Z1275 By Flash on Feb 09, 2008 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

I have been using the EasyShare Z1275 for several months now and find it is delightfully light weight. This camera can produce 12 megapixel pictures though it has lower resolutions that are suitable for my work. Although I like the camera overall, I find that the buttons are somewhat inconvenient for the way I intuitively hold the camera and too often I accidentally turn the camera off. The camera also seems to eat batteries so when I am going out to take 40-50 shots I take along several extra sets of rechargeable batteries because after a dozen or so pictures the display darkens and only if the camera is allowed to rest for a while or the batteries are changed, does the display return. Photos can still be taken while the display is inactive but they are blind shots. I am impressed by the quality of the pictures and the convenience of the 5X zoom. I also find that the Digital Image Stabilization works quite well.
