Top Kodak Easyshare P712 Camera Reviews
Steve's Digicams wrote a review of the
Kodak Easyshare P712 and said: "The most noticeable feature
of the P712 is the high quality Schneider Kreuznach Variogon 12X
optical zoom lens, that covers a 35mm equivalent range of 36 to
432mm. It offers enormous versatility in image composition,
especially when you compare it to the typical 3x lens found on
consumer models."
Trusted Reviews wrote a review of the
Kodak Easyshare P712 and said: "With 7-megapixel resolution,
a full range of manual shooting modes, a high quality image
stabilised 12x optical zoom lens, good overall handling and the
all-important RAW mode, the P712 has specification closer to a
professional SLR than a compact. However the small sensor size
limits its otherwise excellent picture quality, and unnecessary
complexity makes it difficult to use."
Kodak Easyshare P712 News Release Summary:
KODAK EASYSHARE P712 Digital Camera Unleashes Photographers’
Potential with Precision Controls and Stunning Image Quality
Blazing Fast Auto-Focus System, 12X Image-Stabilised Lens, 7.1
MP Sensor Combine for Crisp, Clear Pictures Ideal for Sharing
London, June 20 -- Eastman Kodak Company today announced the
KODAK EASYSHARE P712 zoom digital camera, setting a new
performance benchmark for the consumer “superzoom” category. Its
precision auto-focus system with best-in-class click-to-capture
rate - literally faster than the blink of an eye, at less than
1/10th of a second (0.07 seconds) - helps photographers get the
exact shots they want, whether action on a sports field or
children on the playground.
“When second and third-time digital camera buyers walk into
stores this year, they’re searching for models with better
performance and more control than point-and-shoots, without
sacrificing ease of use. They want pictures that look phenomenal
straight out of the camera,” said Carolyn Walsh, Product Sales
Director Digital, Eastman Kodak Company. “Our new P712 camera is
specifically designed for these photographers, helping them take
stunning pictures that they’ll want to share widely with friends
and family.”
The KODAK EASYSHARE P712 camera features a 12X (36 - 432 mm
equiv.), image-stabilised, f2.8 – f/3.7, SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH
VARIOGON lens that delivers exquisite detail and sharpness. Its
7.1 megapixel sensor is paired with legendary KODAK Color
Science image processing for spectacular, highly accurate colour
- shot after shot.
Optical image stabilisation provides a two-stop advantage over
non-image stabilised systems for better capturing subjects in
low light for both stills and video. It also minimises handheld
camera shake at longer focal lengths, which is ideal while
photographing sporting events and during everyday picture taking
when carrying a stabilising device is impractical.
The P712 camera will be available in the UK from July 2006, with
a suggested retail price of £349.99.
Sharing Made Simple
The EASYSHARE P712 camera’s large 2.5-inch, high-resolution LCD
and electronic viewfinder simplify framing, reviewing and
sharing pictures. Photographers can select pictures for
e-mailing or printing with a touch of the exclusive Share
button, and even mark them as favourites for automatic uploading
to the KODAK EASYSHARE Gallery in conjunction with included
KODAK EASYSHARE Software version 6.
TV-quality, 30 frames-per-second VGA video with sound is always
available on the P712 camera with the turn of a dial. Convenient
on-camera video editing includes functions such as split, cut,
merge and trim, plus the ability to create single-frame or
multi-frame “storyboard” still pictures.
As with all EASYSHARE cameras, the P712 model is compatible with
KODAK EASYSHARE snapshot printers and camera docks, the
IMAGELINK print system, and PICTBRIDGE technology for direct
photo output without a computer.
Advanced Features for Precise Control
The hot shoe flash connector and optional KODAK P20 zoom flash
(with a suggested retail price of £99.99) provides enhanced,
more flexible lighting control, while the included rechargeable
lithium-ion battery delivers long-lasting power for more picture
taking opportunities.
Additional features include PASM, custom and extensive preset
scene modes; multiple burst modes for action shooting;
three-shot in-camera panorama stitching; a live histogram; 25
selectable AF points; custom white balance with selectable
compensation; highlight/shadow clipping displays; and
RAW/TIFF/JPEG support.
