''The camera is all yours...take as many snaps as possible.I have to see everything through your eyes and the pictures you take!'' My elder sister told me when she gifted me the KB-12, as a parting gift two years ago when I was leaving home for my hostel life.Misty-eyed and delighted at this lovely surprise,I took the camera which has since then become a physical link to the memories I have built over the years!


KB-12 is a small, handy camera. It is very light and easy to carry. I used to be quite skeptic about my abilities to load and unload a film.However, the instruction booklet comes to good use. The camera is not automatic and has to be loaded manually so one has to be a little more careful, when rolling in the film inside the camera. Unloading the film is quite easy...(ahem..I managed it all by myself from the first time only !). One just needs to rewind the whole thing backwards...will hardly take you a minute!


The camera comes in two colours...black and a striking silver.( Since I have added an adjective in front of the latter colour, you know which one I have!). The camera is very effecive for amateur photographers like me . Firstly, if the lens is not open , you cannot click any snap. Hence, there is no possibility of anyone clicking a snap with the shutter closed! Secondly,you cannot click unless the wheel has been moved forward completely. This also ensures that no reel goes waste.


Plus, you have a self-timer. Setting the timer is fairly simple and it gives you all of 10secs to run back to your place and say 'cheese!'.There is a tripod which comes with the camera, which I feel is not very helpful.It can be used when one wants to take a snap through the timer and it has to be attached to the camera everytime. It is a little cumbersome and the tripod itself doesnt even give a height of more than half a foot, at the best!So, I have chucked the tripod , as it is awkward to carry it too!


The picture quality is very good...a lot also obviously depends on the skill of the photographer. Snaps which are clicked without a flash, come out very bright and vivid.But even at night, the camera hasnt let me down!


All this comes at a price of Rs.1100 and you get two Kodak rolls and a pair of batteries free with the purchase The company also believes in building customer relations, I believe! When I had gone back home in the term break, I saw a very colourful handbook from Kodak awaiting me . It had the 'Kodak' story in it and also talked about various ways to improve clicking snaps...so I think, the company which has almost become synomynous with photography and quality,is heavily into brand building and generating customer loyalty.


The camera hasnt given me any trouble yet ,...and every term I have gone back with a rich collection of photographs to cherish and show to everyone back home...it somehow helps me to bring them closer to the world I live in at the moment! Its been a faithful companion all through! I am glad I have so many 'Kodak moments' to remember by!


Good for amateurs

I wanted to buy a cheap camera just to get comfy with the thing, and thats when I approached a shop showcasing a lot of Kodak cameras. I bought the KB 12 plus just on two counts:




  1. Sleek silver design, 2. Self Timer and stand.




The camera is pretty easy to use, and the manual loading system means that every roll gets me 40 snaps without fail. There is no way to turn the flash off, so you cant ever have dark snaps.


On the flip side, I had hoped to be part of my own snaps courtesy the timer and the stand. Unfortunately, the timer malfunctioned after the first 5 snaps! the timer works, but it doesnt click the image. As a result, even the Stand is of no use.


So, in case you are buying this solely for the timer, DONT!


A Samsung/Canon would be better. In case you want a cheap camera for starters, better go for a KB 10 or some such thing just to get comfy with it instead of paying 200-300 extra for a timer and stand that you wont be able to use for long.

Kodak camera's have carved a niche for themselves, thanx to some agrressive marketing. Well, Their KE series are handy, cause they r all automatic. Me, I have noticed one things with cameras. I like them to be easy to handle.When I mean easy, I mean I do not want a hassle of loading films etc. And The KE series are just that ..hassle free. But KB10 is another story. It is easy to use, I agree. But there is that hassle of winding the roll forward after every shot. And then the loading. You have to pull up the spool loader, and then only u can put the film inside. Often, it happens with amateurs, the film gets snagged inside on account of improper loading. So if you've got this camera free, its good. Else spend a bit more and get a total auto camera, wherein you have to film leader upto the load mark (while loading the film) and the camera does the rest. Well, why did I take so much time about KB10. There always is a reason folks.


Kodak's latest release (its either KB12 or KE12) works on the same principle. However to woo folks, they have included a small tripod with it. It'll be so useful for family portraits etc. But the twist is that apart from the new tripod, this camera works on the same principles as the KB10. It is not totally auto. And it is priced at 1000 plus. I am not saying it is a bad camera, but if you want ease of use, spend 800 more and u can get an automatic camera from canon. And Canon is anyday better. And I know from specific users that that Canon model is good.
