Photos: Hands-on with the 12x zoom Kodak Easyshare Z8612 IS

Read Full Review

Yes, from the back the Kodak Easyshare Z8612 IS looks great: a slick black dune of ebbing fingergrips and flowing buttons. A surprisingly roomy-feeling 64mm (2.5-inch) screen is edged by ergonomic buttons that look terrific, although they're not as grippy as we'd like.

And our favourite feature? The chirpily-named Kodak Color Science Chip, complete with some classic PR-speak. According to Kodak, this little chap beavers away in the background "every time you click the shutter, performing an instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and adjust multiple factors that influence picture quality." Like working out how many daiquiris you've had, or why Jerry from sales has his tie on his head, or whether anyone on Facebook actually wants to see 285 near-identical photos of you having a great time on a Costa Rican beach. Probably.
