Trusted Reviews have published their review of the 12-megapixel Kodak EasyShare Z1275 digital camera. 'The Z1275 is a fairly large and heavy camera by compact standards, measuring a substantial 89.5 × 64.5 × 31.6 mm and tipping the scales at 161g without batteries. Since it runs on two AA cells, this means that the total weight can be as high as 210g, so this isn't a camera that's going to sit comfortably in your shirt pocket. Despite this weight the camera body is made of plastic, and it's not the toughest or most rigid structure I've ever seen. Parts of the body flex and creak when squeezed, and although it does look nice in two-tone metallic grey and black, I have to say it feels a bit cheap. In fact it is fairly cheap in relation to the other 12MP models on the market, costing around £160 at retail, compared to £176 for the Casio Z1200 or £190 for the Sony W200.'
