I have never had this problem with any and all cameras I have had, including throwaway $8 cameras from a drug store ... Trying to take pictures of a baby indoors without flash ... every shot blurry ... I know there are other cameras I can buy that will give me what I want ... sorry I bought a Kodak

Then feel free to go buy something else please. Or you could say you need some help figuring out what you are doing wrong and we could try to help you! But just saying you are sorry you have bought a Kodak is a invitation to some folks to blast back at you.

blast away, its ok, but its my fault I bought this camera ... Steve's reviews warned me and I ignored it that low light shooting was poor ... and other cameras were recommended that would do better ... my question would then be, why would Kodak produce a camera that has such low light capabilities when other cameras manufactures know how to produce this function ... I think Fuji and Canon were the recommended ones for that feature ...

Bluntly,the best oftheother cameras in the 12x IS class is going to be only marginally better than the Z612. Depending on your actual shooting conditions none may suffice in straight auto mode. If you can give us the specific exposure data (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) we can probably make specific recommendations for both technique and alternate cameras. Deep low light capability is going to be acheivable only with dSLRs and fast prime lenses.

If you're trying to take pictures in a room lit by a single light or window while using any amount of zoom it's likely you'll be disappointed with most cameras. Even @ moderate ISO speeds like 400 you're going to need a fairly low f-stop.....a fast lens. If you end up with a shutter speed below 1/100th odds are high you'll have some blur unless you have the camera supported in some way. You can get a camera with a higher ISO capability but all you'll really end up with is a picture with more noise. Two questions - why not use a flash? The Z612 has a darn good auto WB, the few flash shots I've taken do not have the usual "blue" tint. It seems to do a very good job adjusting the balance. Second question - if it's a picture issue it's likely photoshop (or something) can fix whatever you don't like about the flash image. (look at the image above, an excellent flash pic - what's not to like?) Also, fwiw the camera has a flash portrait scene - designed just for this application. Not blasting but if you think it's "Kodak" the odds are high that you'll be disapponted with most any camera. Or in other words remember it's rarely the arrow, it's almost always the indian. |
