I had a problem with the first Z1285 (Bill - 7/29/08)

Over all we really like the camera and were not turned off by the first experience. We took our first one back as the auto focus would make a clunk sound every time it focused. With the second Z1285 it does not do that.
A little disappointed with how long it takes between shots to process but we were spoiled with our other camera we bought five years ago for six times the price. There is a burst 3 frame feature to help this, but you have to wait for about 10 seconds for them to process. You should be very happy with this camera for this price range. It is a newer model than the Z1275 for those who may have wondered as I. No macro past 8 inches, but you can get as low as four inches by going into the program manually and work the af.
