Hello, Miriam:

I own a Kodak P850, which is somewhat similar to the newer P712. (The
main difference is the latter's higher megapixel count, 7.1MP versus
5.1MP.)

The P850 seems to have garnered a greater percentage of favorable online
reviews, than the P712, from what I've gathered. I've been very pleased
with my camera, and would heartily recommend it; in my estimation, it's
quite possibly the best, overall "super zoom" digicam, in its price
class.

The P712, on the other hand, is significantly more expensive, and its
image quality is (reputedly) a bit subpar.

Good luck, and please, let us know your buying decision!


Cordially,
