Отзывы о Фотоаппарат пленочный Kodak H35N Ektar Half Frame 35mm Camera

It's hard to choose a Kodak subcompact today when Canon remains the standard, with consistent quality through the years. If a particular Canon model is not the leader in it's class it's always a solid 2nd or 3rd, and no company has maintained such consistent standards in this catagory over the years. With such a time-tested pedigree why would anyone choose to NOT buy a Canon? Kodak, by comparison, has nearly vanished from the high end, with the majority of its models sub 100$ generic mediocrities.

In this context, i purchased the v1273 (the 12 megapixel version of this camera), the second most expensive camera offered on the market by Kodak today. So how does it fare?

Suprisingly well, in fact, but with some significant drawbacks.

For the 12mp, the HD quality on my 42" TV is stunningly acceptable (which creates a zoomed in, 16:9 9mp image). Kodak's secret is it's "Smart Capture" function which automatically applies Kodak's "Perfect Touch" technology. Which is, in a nutshell, automatic post-processing. It increase saturation, contrast, and other similar values automatically, creating stunning first-time photos without tedius work on the computer after the shoot. It also retains full access to most manual functions, although this requires a bit of hunting and pecking because these functions are not explained in the manual.

And that manual functions are not explained is just the beginning to this camera's drawbacks. There is no battery meter! You have to guess about how much charge it has; and this is important, as the touchscreen devours energy. The screen is completely illegible in bright sunlight - not sort of/kind of dark but completely washed out (98%-99% washed out). You cannot preview your photos without turning on the lens, and it remains on. It takes dissapointingly average "HD" video, which is all but the exact same as a 4 year old Casio Exilim, only larger. A camera with better lenses and image stabilization, like the Panasonic FZ-18k, takes vastly better videos, despite the megapixel gap.

Perhaps the biggest drawback is with it's very halmark. The Perfect Touch pseudo-postprocessing technology does well in bright sunny days with blue skies and green plants - but it tends not to choose the correct settings in early or late hours, or at night. The rich colors of sunsets tend to be washed out as it attempts to brighten the whole scene and make everything equally visible, blue-ify the sky and green-ify the trees around with somewhat oversaturated "Kodak" colors. Sadly getting pictures to look half as good with manual settings is nigh impossible and often the result is comically bad, like some polarized nightmare.

Still, with all that said... out of the box, on full auto, it took a better landscape picture on automatic than a full 1000$ Canon Eos 40D on auto (we compared). If you're an obsessive control freak about RAW data, ect., this camera will not make you happy. If you want beautiful pictures, on full auto, to show on your 1080p HD TV that make non-photophilles go "wow! ooh, ahh!", without any post-processing effort, this, or it's cousin the v1253, which doesn't have a horrible touchscreen, might be the camera for you.

Just be sure to bring an extra battery.

I really couldn't afford this camera being as we are needing every penny to feed our animals at our rescue this winter BUT I'm so happy I found it and the gentlemen selling it gave so much along with it. We needed a good camera to take pictures of our animals for adoption. Thank you [...]

after a year using this camera, it breaks. it also would not charge. the picture quality is not so great either, especially when it's 10mp. i have used over cameras that are cheaper and it is far better than this camera.

Kodak battery arrived within two days of ordering. Exactly as advertised. Please with the transaction Will certain use the vendor again.

The camera malfunctioned after 13 months of light usage. When the camera is turned on, it turns off within 1 second. Tried another new battery. It still will not turn on properly.

I ordered the wall AC power adapter for my Kodak V1253 digital camera so I would not always have to use my computer to charge it. I was delighted that it came with a Euro plug because I was getting ready to travel to Europe for three weeks. I just returned from my trip, and I couldn't be happier with its performance. Not only did it charge my camera, but the Euro plug also adapted the current for my curling iron,toothbrush, cell phone, and my friend's laptop. It worked great and took up very little space.

I purchased two of these cables (one for each daughter who have the exact same camera), and the one cable we have tried does not work. At this point I don't know if the second cable works.

This little camera has gone everywhere with me for the last three years. It's lightweight, easy to select lighting (flash, red eye, no flash, etc) and focus (landscape, low light, close-up, etc). Unlike some cameras, there's not a big delay in snapping a picture and the face detection feature is great. My daughter got the Kodak that the next step down and about $30 cheaper; she gets much better landscapes than I do, which is disappointing. Her camera is just as easy to use. Not sure what I paid the extra $30 for.

Very happy with this purchase. Seller was swift in mailing out product. I would do business with this seller again. Had this exact camera and dropped/broke it. All I needed was the camera and none of the accessories; which is exactly what I found on Amazon. Thanks Amazon!

This camera is great. I got it for Christmas of 2008 (also at a Target Black Friday sale for $79.99) and I do not regret the purchase at all! I'm often amazed that my little camera can take such clear pictures and it's been very fun to have.

The shooting modes are great and the video is very clear. However, I've noticed then when I'm taking a video the camera lags bit. It's hard to describe, but when I move the camera it takes maybe 1/6 of a second to show the move on the screen. It hasn't been a problem for me at all and I really don't mind it, but I thought I should mention it.

Occasionally I end up with dark pictures, but most of the time that's due to the lighting conditions. No matter how expensive or amazing your camera is, you don't typically get good pictures in bad lighting. It's just a fact. The outdoor pictures are fantastic though.

I've had no problems with the battery life, and I don't really have to charge it all that often.

One thing that I don't like are the buttons on top of the camera. The flash button and power button are both small, and they both feel exactly the same so I often press the wrong button when trying to turn it on quickly. Again, not a huge problem, but worth mentioning I think.

All in all, this is a GREAT camera. I absolutely love it, and I'm sorry that other reviewers haven't had as great of an experience. I definitely recommend it and I would buy it again if given the chance.

Hi,
I have owned this camera for a little over a year and it has performed well. Last week when I needed it the most for my trip, it decided to have problems.

The camera would take only one picture, will not zoom and none of the other buttons functioned. I had to turn off the camera after taking one picture and turn it back on. It also took 2 tries to turn it off.

I contacted kodak support. I was disappointed with the responses I got, They wanted 90$ (including shipping) to take a look at the camera, because it was out of warranty. This is my second kodak camera that decided to die in two years.

Once it was clear that Kodak was not going to help me, I decided to take it upon myself to see what can be done. I opened the cover by unscrewing the little screws all around the camera. When I opened it, the zoom button fell right off. I have a feeling it was disloged somehow.

I put it back, put the battery in and decided to try it and everything started working again. Put the cover back on, and screwed everything back together and everything works now.

I am glad I dont have to buy a camera, but not glad about the kodak quality. Not sure how buttons can get dislogded.

I made a mistake, to buy a used camera and (bad) repaired, I sent back to fix the problem, I recived back with the some problem

Personally I would never buy another Kodak camera. With the experience I had with my digital camera, it soured me forever. Got one as a gift, used it for 6 months and it would not hold a charge. Contacted them, was told to try differant soulutions buying different batteries, even another charger to no good. Finally sent it in before warranty was up. Instead of repairing it properly they more or less put a bandaid on it and called it a day. Worked as long as the battery they replaced and that was it. More solutions offered, nothing constructive. Told me to send it in for another 'repair' and because it now had passed the warranty stage it would cost me more than the original cost of the camera. Hmmmm...good business practice? If they would have fixed it properly by testing it to see what really was wrong instead of just popping a new battery in and considered it fixed....well, heaven help the person who happens to get a malfuntioning camera from Kodak.

Works perfectly as advertised on my Z712IS. The fitting is ever so slightly on the tight side, but that just means it won't fall out easily.

Best camera i have had in a long time. I love it. I love the menu option. TAkes crystal clear pictures. Love the share button.

There is so many pros I couldn't possibly write them all.
Definatly worth buying. CNET says it is one of the best compact point and shoot camera's out on the market today.

I knew I could depend On Amazon, always comes through when I need something..I just type in keywords and WahLah!!

I've never owned a digital camera and I'm not a photo-taking kind of person, but I didn't have a camera at all. So I did my research (I thought) and took the plunge. This camera is really everything I was looking for (and much more), except for one thing. The "joy stick" button that you use to go through the menus, review the pictures, and probably a lot more that I don't know about, is less than half the size of my little fingernail, and I don't have big hands. I had to use my fingernail to move it and, most of the time, it didn't move in the direction I wanted it to (didn't get to the function I wanted) because my fingernail was just a little too much toward another direction. I hope that makes sense. I REALLY wouldn't recommend this camera for anyone who has large, or even medium-size, fingers.

In addition, while I was setting up my preferences, I noticed that the battery needed to be charged again. I had fully charged it when I got it. I don't know how long I was playing with it before I noticed this, and I don't know if this is usual, but I thought I'd mention it.

One of the preferences I set up was for the camera to turn itself off after not being used for 3 minutes. After I was finished playing with it, I pressed the button to manually turn it off, and it wouldn't turn off. I didn't think about taking the battery out (novice, remember?), so I just left it alone. It turned itself off after about 4 hours! From then on, it turned on and off just as it was supposed to.

Anyway, except for those things, the camera was great! The 3" display is terrific. There's virtually no delay between pressing the button and the picture being taken. The pictures are good, but I'm really no judge. Upon reading the instruction manual, I found that the camera had many, many more features than I ever anticipated needing, but it's nice to know that they're there.

I guess it's back to doing more research.

I used this camera for about a year before it stopped working. I was happy with the picture quality and features, although it never did hold a charge. If I didn't use it for awhile when I did go to use it the battery was always completely dead. But, now it has stopped working completely. When I press the on button the lens opens and then closes again immediately. After searching around online for a solution it seems like this is actually a very common problem and of course it is just outside of the warranty. Very disappointing.

This is the worst camera I have ever owned. I have sent it back twice trying to get multiple problems fixed, and they just keep sending me back the same camera. It is a short amount of time before I have another problem. I can usually take 5 pictures before the fully charged battery dies and the camera shuts off. After I take a picture, it can take 30 seconds before can take another picture because the screen says "processing". I can't say enough negative things about this camera. WORST CAMERA EVER!!!!

Having owned digital cameras for nearly 10 years now, I'm no stranger to them. I currently own a somewhat old Sony 5mp "prosumer" camera (which still takes very nice photos) and an 8mp Canon DSLR. Since the latter weighs nearly 4 lb. with my favorite lens on it and the former is not exactly compact either, I went shopping for a reasonably good quality and not too expensive pocket camera. After reading some reviews I was interested in a Fujifilm J10, which while inexpensive seemed pretty decent and got good marks for image quality. I treked down to a local Best Buy to check it out. While the J10 does look like a very nice camera for the money, I was not quite enthused about what I perceived as a sluggish response, and the camera buttons seemed a bit clunky. I decided while I was there to look around at other brands and models while I was there. That was when the Kodak M1033 caught my eye. I thought it was a very attractive looking camera. Part of this was due to the fact that it had little in it's finish that would attract finger prints ... something that drives me crazy. Upon picking up the camera I then noticed it was a Kodak and was a little surprized. To be honest, I've not perceived Kodak cameras as being of particular quality or performance. Upon playing with the controls I was immediately impressed with the build quality and the feel of the buttons. Discovering the joystick control ... I was off to the races. Most of the camera operation was fairly intuitive and I found the joystick a much more convinient selection method than the multi-way controls used in most pocket cameras. I was also impressed by the quick responses of the camera ... start-up time, shutter lag, magnification and image scrolling on playback were all quite good, particularly by pocket camera standards. I decided to wait and research the camera some more and then once I found out about the HD video modes with MPEG-4 compression, I decided to give it a try. After several days of using the camera, I'll say that overall I'm fairly impressed with it. The image quality doesn't compare with my DSLR but even though shots in low light are frequently a bit noisy and blurred (again, by DSLR standards), they look pretty good compared to other pocket cameras I've seen reviewed. With 10mp you can afford some blurriness which you'll never see unless you enlarge quite a bit. While full manual modes are not present on this camera, it does give some manual control and has several features that surprized me on this type of camera (spot metering and histogram to name two). On one hand the high ISO settings can make for pretty blotchy and/or noisy images, but again, I've seen far worse in camera reviews of shirt pocket cameras and I must say I'm surprized that these images seem usable even at such high settings. I'm just a bit embarrassed to admit that I've grown accustomed to shooting most of my shots in fully-automatic "dummy" mode. I can't complain about the results and should I need a little more control, to some extent I have it. All in all I'd have to give this little bugger a big thumbs up.

Don't let the Kodak name fool you on this one!!! This camera has been nothing but problems!!! Its sad that you spend almost $200 on a camera to have it not work properly & not be reliable for all those important memories!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CAMERA!!! ITS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF CRAP!!!!

I'm always a little cautious ordering no-name electronic items, but this Chinese-made charger seems pretty well made, and does exactly what it's supposed to.

It's clearly designed primarily to charge the Fuji NP50 battery, but works fine for the Kodak batteries listed. The first battery I tried it with (a Kodak KLIC 7004) slid in fairly easily but had a tendency to pop out and lose connection to the charging pins if knocked. Not a huge problem but make sure you've pushed the battery in fully, otherwise it won't charge at all. The unit displays a red, amber or green light depending on the charging stage, although the green light stays lit whenever the charger has power, suggesting that it's a fairly simple system.

I prefer this style of charger to those that have the plug built in - this one uses a common two-pin socket into which pretty much any standard mains lead will fit (a UK lead is included, although it's fairly short). Also included is a cable for powering the charger in a car, which plugs into its own socket on the other side of the device.

Overall, it's a good charger and certainly recommended for the price. It gets five stars from me purely because I can't think of a good enough reason to knock any off - slightly cheap construction is probably the only negative, but what else would you expect for this price?

I WILL NEVER BUY A KODAK CAMERA AGAIN AFTER THS EXPERIENCE. THE BATTERY LIFE ON THIS CAMERA IS A MERE 3-5 DAYS. A FEW PICTURES, TURNED OFF, IN A DRAWER. THE NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE THE CAMERA IS DEAD AND NEEDS A FEW HOURS TO RECHARGE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY SAME ISSUE. I BOUGHT IT NEW. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH KODAKS 'HELP' CENTER WHERE I HAD A COMPLICATED CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE OVERSEAS. THEY WERE VERY POLITE BUT COMPLETELY USELESS. I HAVE HAD THE CAMERA IN FOR REPAIR NO LESS THAN THREE TIMES. OF COURSE, IT IS RETURNED WITH ALL FUNCTIONS NORMAL. AND TRULY, THE CAMERA WORKS BEAUTIFULLY BUT IT WILL NOT STAY CHARGED MAKING IT USELESS TO ME. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FLAW IN DESIGN AND KODAK SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE AND HONOR THAT. THEIR WEBSITE CLAIMS THAT NORMAL BATTERY LIFE SHOULD ALLOW FOR 120-550 PICTURES. I'VE NEVER GOTTEN PAST 10. INCIDENTALLY, I BOUGHT THIS CAMERA TO REPLACE MY EASYSHARE I HAVE HAD FOR PROBABLY 8 YEARS. IT STILL WORKS (BUT I WANTED MORE MEGAPIXELS) AND I ONLY CHARGE THE BATTERIES EVERY FEW MONTHS!!! I PURPOSELY BOUGHT ANOTHER EASYSHARE. BIG MISTAKE. I'VE GIVEN UP. DISGUSTED. BUYER BEWARE!

I was a first ime buyer. I was very pleased with Amazon preformance. I recieved my camera on time and the product was in good shape as stated.
