Top Kodak Easyshare Z712 IS Camera Reviews

DC Resource wrote a review on the Kodak Easyshare Z712 IS and said: "Photo quality was generally good, though a few issues did arise. The Z712 took well-exposed photos, with highly saturated colors (perhaps too much so). Images were on the soft side, with noticeable noise reduction artifacting, even at the lowest ISO setting. Noise reduction really starts to eat at details until ISO 400, but small prints were still very good at that setting. Above that, things get dicey, so I'd avoid ISO 800, 1600, and especially 3200 unless you're really desperate."

Trusted Reviews wrote a review on the Kodak Easyshare Z712 IS and said: "Picture quality is generally very good, but it could have been even better if the excellent Schneider-Kreuznach lens wasn’t let down by a small sensor and over-enthusiastic image compression."
