Kodak - EasyShare Z740 Digital Camera Reviews

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...

The Kodak Easyshare Z740 was my second camera i bought for myself. I was tired of poor quality of my very first camera so i found the Z740 one day as i shopping with family members at our locate wal mart supercenter store. everything about this item screamed own me.

We bought this camera 3 years ago, just before our son was born. We also have the docking station printer to go with it. It has had lots of use... probably 1500-2000 pictures taken, and it is still going strong.

I have always been impressed with the zoom feature because it not only has the optical zoom, but a digital zoom as well. Now that Kodak is producing larger multifunction printers with great photo printing, I would consider buying one of those instead of having the docking station. Seems like that would be more cost effective.

The image quality on this camera is really good and the software...

this camera is good for people who are just getting started. i bought this when i joined my digital photography course in college and it was great especially for the types of projects we had to do. it wasn't to technical, with alot of buttons and it was easy to learn how to use. im a major technical person so i picked it up quick and it was my first digital camera. i loved how clear the pictures came out, i was worried they were going to look pixalled and fuzzy. i was able to start a small part time business with that camera i took pictures at a few events. i like how it fits in my hand and its...

The Kodak Easyshare Z740 is one of the nicest camera's I have ever owned.

I have wanted to venture out to try my ability at photography and this camera makes it so easy to just point and shoot.  Although it is missing the image stablization, it has the ability to take very "up close" pictures without the blur.

I sell a lot of things on Ebay and this is the only camera that I use to take my pictures as it is very important to have the ability to take up close pictures of the item I am selling.

If you need to have the image stabilization, then using a tripod will help with this.  Even leaving...

This is the absolute BEST camera I have owned to date.  I recieved my Kodak Easy Share Z740 camera and printer for Christmas about 9 years ago and it is still producing the most amazing pictures. It is easy to use with it many features. You can utilize the auto set features and the camera does all the work or you can manually adjust the settings to achieve that perfect shot.  My favorite feauture is the "children in action" setting.  It captures that perfect moment of childhood memories without the blurring effect when they move.  I have been most impressed with its longevity and durability. It...

I love this my Kodak easyshare z740. the pictures are great. it has so many settings and options for different types of pictures. black and white, sepia, etc. also indoors, outdoors, text, children moving in bright light, landscape, distant scenery, etc.

the zoom is great. you can get very close up on your subject.

it isn't as small as a lot of digital camera are, but the size is just right for me. it can't fit in my pocket, but it is very light and the camera bag is a good size.

the viewing window is a good size to see your pictures as you take them. then you can delete any you don't want to keep...

The first digital camera I bought is the Kodak Z740.  It feels like a "real" camera in my hand and was very easy to use. 

It is probably not too strong to say I didn't live until I bought this camera.  What a difference. The zoom feature is excellent and the quality of  my photos improved considerably.  I was previously accustomed to a Pentax SLR but hated being at the mercy of a 24 hour photo-finisher. 

I bought the photo printer as well and we take it on vacation -- print our photos as we go, so to speak.  While the viewing screen is a little small, it's a standard size. 

This is my second digital camera.  My first, I bought in 2002.  I bought the Kodak Easy Share Z740 in May 2005.  I love the quality and crispness of the pictures.  I was getting grainy pictures with my old camera.

The Easy Share is extremely easy to use, so much so that my 3 yr old can use it without any issues.

This is a high-end camera at a much cheaper price than I've seen some of the other cameras selling for.

This camera is a bit bulky and does not fit in your pocket, it does fit in many other places - diaper bags, purses, camera bags.

We've had this camera for four years, and it's never given us any problems (until recently). I was slow getting into digital. This camera was easy to learn to use. It takes excellent pictures, has a several different settings you can change to your needs. You can change the shutter speed up to an 8 second exposure. It's a great point and shoot. Now the problem we have with it is it won't focus on anything. The auto focus doesn't seem to be working at all. Every picture turns out blurry. The more I zoom in, the worse it is. There was never any issue at with it until then.
