The Kodak EasyShare Z612's body is styled somewhat like a miniature SLR camera, and contains both a six megapixel CCD imager and a Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon-branded 12x optical zoom lens with a powerful 35 - 420mm equivalent focal range. For framing images, the Z612 offers both a 202,000 pixel electronic viewfinder, and a large 2.5" LCD display with 230,000 pixels. Images are stored on Secure Digital / MultiMediaCards, or in 28MB of internal memory. The Kodak Z612 has a generous 16 scene modes to help beginners achieve the results they're looking for without the need to understand subtleties like shutter speeds, apertures and the like. If you want even more control though, then aperture- and shutter priority modes are available, as well as a fully manual mode.
