Summary
My brother has this camera and he lets me use it sometimes. It is one of the best cameras out there, my other camera had only 5x zoom (in aviation photography it gets you nowhere). But this one had an astounding 12x zoom!!! And it is 7mp which is even better, so you can crop your photos and they still looked nice. I have dropped it a couple of times, and it has survived! I also use it in all kinds of light especially bright, and it has suprised me with the photos, I have taken a couple of low lights, and they still turned out pretty great! I am hoping to buy this camera for myself, so I don't have to use my brothers.

Strengths
12x zoom
photo quality
7 mp
all the different shooting modes

Weaknesses
none

Summary
Kodak EasyShare P712 sucks.it is the worst camera ever manufactured by Kodak.THE WEAK POINTS OUT-NUMBER THE POSITVE POINTS.
it is a blot in the name of prestigious company Kodak.

Strengths
it can zoom up to 12X optical zoom

Weaknesses
the image is not clear if it is near to the lens of the camera
brightness of the flash can't be controlled,it changes the natural colour of the object
too bulky
too heavy
the picture enhancing feature is way off the mark,making the option wasteful
the colour variants are very limited
image stabilization not up to the mark
