Kodak - EasyShare Z740 Digital Camera Review

About 3 years ago, I searched for a camera that would meet most, if not all of my requirements.  My goal was to be able to take fabulous pictures of wildlife, and still be far enough away that 1) they looked natural and 2)we didnt have to fear being eaten.  We picked out the Kodak Z740.  It was inexenspive, had great optical zoom, lightweight and easy to hold.

We took our first outing to Estes Park, Rocky Mountain national forest.  I was able to capture litters of coyote puppies doing a community nurse, on several moms.  In the same instance, I also was able to get a great picture of an Elk chasing a coyote!  We were very far away, and the camera does tend to get a little shaky at the 12x zoom.  My coyote pictures were slightly out of focus, but definitely viewable.  It made me immensley happy!

What Ive discovered does the BEST is natural light pictures of our pets.  It has a quick take, quick focus, and it allows me to catch active kittens or puppies.

Our first Z740 was even chewed up by our bulldog!  It lived to tell the tale, and had many hundreds of thousands more clicks through it.  It was stolen though, which led us to our 2nd Z740.  I left it out in the rain (it worked for maybe 60 more shots) and we're now on our third Z740.  Love these cameras!!
