Blazing Fast Auto-Focus System, 12X Image-Stabilised Lens, 7.1 MP Sensor Combine for Crisp, Clear Pictures Ideal for Sharing
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.
DP Expert reviews the Kodak P712 digital camera and writes - ''The Kodak P712 is a disappointing camera. It is just as well that digital images are free because you must take at least 5 photos to get one worth keeping. We understand the attraction of these super-zoom cameras. They seem to offer so much -- a pseudo SLR through-the-lens viewfinder; a lens which is the equivalent of at least three interchangeables; a compact body and, so people hope, simplicity. In our experience it takes much more effort to produce a good picture with these gimmicky cameras than with any digital SLR. The super-zooms are light and cheap and that is the end of their advantage. Kodak’s lovely little V550 is a better camera even with only 5 million pixels and a 3x zoom and optical viewfinder.'
Let's Go Digital has a review of the Kodak EasyShare P712 and writes, "... I have mixed feelings about the Kodak P712 test. On one hand there is the ease of a compact design, great optical range and handy image stabilization, and it provides much user-friendliness. On the other hand there is the disappointing quality of the ISO and the limited ISO range, as well as the, sometimes slow, reaction speed of the camera. It makes me feel as if Kodak eased their way out at these points. Had it been so that the competition showed the same images I would have been milder in my judgment. But with the current technology and hardware/software quality a lot more is possible, and that is where Kodak fails. The Kodak EasyShare P712 is an attractive camera for the every day shots of the beginning photographer. The Kodak EasyShare P712 may certainly not be seen as the alternative to a digital SLR camera. The difference between them is just too big."
