Digital Camera Info has just put a first impression review of the Kodak EasyShare Z612 on their website which has features like 2x zoom with optical image stabilization, a 6.1 effective MP CCD, a 2.5-inch LCD with 230,000 pixels and direct printing capabilities. These 6MP cameras is primary for point and shoot users though the manual controls are not the easiest to access but features like a 12x zoom and good image quality will keep the average users extremely satisfied though pro and serous photographers should stay away from it. Also they could have come up with a better design and made it more compact.

The Kodak EasyShare Z612 with its Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon lens stabilized 12x zoom lens with an electronic viewfinder has modes like auto mode, preset scenes and a full manual mode in addition to shutter and aperture priority modes. It also has a feature to record videos in formats like MPEG-4 QuickTime and the 2.5 inch LCD provides resolution of 230,000 pixels. The Z612 also has a built in flash with settings like auto flash, fill, red-eye, and off and the flash can be set up +/-1.0 in 0.5 steps. Scene Modes include Portrait, Landscape, Night Landscape, Self-Portrait, Flower, Sunset, Backlight, Candlelight, Manner/Museum, Text, Beach, Snow, Fireworks and Children modes
