Comparing the kodakz612 with canon s3is?

Hi -

I'm agonizing over a decision on a digital camera. have been leaning back and forth (based on a number of reviews) between Kodak's Z612 and Canon's S3 IS. I'd classify myself as a "higher-end" amateur who loves taking pictures - but I want clarity, ease of use, and everything else most of us common consumers want. I'd like 12X optical zoom, but could be convinced to settle with 10X if all other specs were great - any help you can provide would be GREAT! Thanks so much!

I think you're right to go with the S3 IS. The S2 IS was well loved by many and the S3 is a reasonable, if underwhelming upgrade. It's a good solid camera and I think you'll find it a satisfying one for taking more than just your typical snapshot.

The Z612 is also a good camera, and Kodak has done an outstanding job in general. It's a good option, a little less money, but my gut says you'll be happier with the S3 IS. Well, ok, my gut says I would be happier with the S3 IS :-).

\From a retired professional........Canon is tops....I have high regards for canon products......As for the zoom....as a professional I prefer 28-130mm zoom. It is the best I have found for being creative. Try semi-wide angle for most everything and I think you will be amazed at the fantastic creative results. You can have both close up with a scenic background at the same time. And if you want to give emphasis to the major object just use depth of field. Have a super time ..........Dale
