"Softly" Used KODAK EASYSHARE Z612 Zoom Digital Camera. It has a 12X SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIGON Optical Zoom Lens with image stabilization, so you can get tack-sharp long shots and steady videos. See the world through its bright 2.5 in. (6.4 cm) display and capture all the detail with 6.1 MP. The Z612–it's high level photography for the photographer you aspire to be.

Powerful zoom, precision optics

The all glass 12X SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON f/2.8–f/4.8 Optical Zoom Lens (35 mm–420 mm) delivers extraordinary creative performance and sharp pictures
Image stabilization enables improved image quality at longer zoom ranges and slower shutter speeds

6.1 MP resolution 

***(Explanation of megapixels (MP)): the megapixels are how many dots per inch are printed to create the photograph. If you have a 3 MP camera, there would be less megapixels printed per inch when you print out a photograph, than there would be if you had a 6 MP camera. Newer camera's on the market today are coming out with anywhere from 14 to 20 MP but do not be fooled. A 5 or 6 MP camera is more than enough for the average person wanting to take beautiful photographs. The 10 and up MP cameras simply make it possible to print a better photograph ONLY if you are planning on having it blown up to poster size and such. Not too many people plan on making posters out of all their pictures. So if you do not need the high MP, you are simply wasting your money unless there are other features of the camera that you are interested in.)***

The 6.1 MP sensor delivers excellent resolution for prints up to 30 in. × 40 in.. You can crop your pictures and still get stunning quality. Five resolution settings give you the freedom to pick the one that's right for you.
