This camera replaced my old F10 Fuji Finepix.I had several cameras (Fuji/Canon/Olympus) but this is the first time I'm trying out Kodak (cheapest HD camera I've found that allow zoom during movie recording mode)
I took two stars away from it for two reasons:
1. Macro shooting mode is horrible.It won't shoot at close range at all comparing to other cameras I have had.I was able to shoot a nice close up at 1 inch range with Fuji and Olympus but this Kodak Easyshare will not focus and get blurry as soon as the lense is in the 6 inch range from object.I returned and exchange my Easyshare once because I thought the first one was broken.I was surprised to learn that this camera will not do a close up shot.
2. Movie recording length is limit to 29 minutes when shooting in HD.I read on Kodak website and it says "80 minutes" and I misunderstood.80 minutes max ... at lowest resolution - that is :(
There are many good things about this camera.It uses SD card.It records very nice HD quality video (picture/sound).It can zoom in recording mode (Fuji does not). It takes good pictures (12MP).Battery life is pretty good.Forget Sony Handycam, get this Z1285 instead and have a blast with HD video recording!
