Kodak surprise
- Reviewd on: 2008-10-22 By: J. Armitage
My husband & I took 6 weeks to travel to the western National Parks. Our original camera got dropped in the sand 10 days before leaving. A friend volunteered the Kodak Z740. We ended up taking over 1100 pictures including numerous pics of the beautiful scenery shot from our moving car. Much to our delight the camera performed way beyond our expectations and as soon as we returned we decided to buy one for ourselves. It's easy to hold, simple directions, numerous options and takes a clear picture. We downloaded pics every night to our PC and sent them to friends. For "Joe" picture taker its a great camera.

BIG MISTAKE!

Buying this camera was a big mistake as it went bad within one month of extremely gentle and almost non-existent use!

Wouldn't work for son's graduation
- Reviewd on: 2008-05-27 By: E. Nickler
I've had this camera for a year and a half only taking pictures periodically. I took it on a trip and was only able to take 2 pictures before the battery told me it was dead. I thought I might have not put it on the charger correctly. I was sure to put the camera correctly on the charger to prepare for my son's graduation. When the moment came to take the picture at his graudation the battery was dead. I have a friend who also had the same problem and we bought them at the same time. So if you want a good camera for a year and a half, this is a great one. If you want one longer, it'd be best to look somewhere else.

Review
I have owned this camera for a few years and have used it in many situations sunlight, dark, motion shots. This is a super camera that allows to you to shoot in Auto mode or adjust settings as you become a better photographer. Very simple to use for a beginner and helped me worked up to a SLR with ease. Although I still use my Z740. The pictures look amazing and many people ask me what kind of camera I use and appear surprised when I tell them. Size is handy to just grab and go. Now for the not so great. I have better success when I set my own adjustments rather than using the Sports mode. The shutter can lag (expected), and bring along a spare battery if you plan to take alot of pictures.

great camera, until it dies
- Reviewd on: 2008-04-03 By: S. J. Cunningham
I've had the Kodak Easyshare for about two years now, and loved it--great pictures, easy to hold, etc. If I had reviewed this camera until any time in the last month, I would have given it a 5 star rating.

Then one day it simply wouldn't turn on. I changed the batteries twice, and it wouldn't turn on. A quick Google search uncovered four forums with other Easyshare users describing the same problem. And the problem apparently can't be fixed, or at least can't be fixed for less than the price of a new camera, according to the local Kodak shop. I know that cameras don't last forever, but two years of taking maybe 100 photos per year? This is ridiculous!
