Imaging-Resource reviews Kodak EasyShare Z740 5.0 megapixel digital camera
The Kodak EasyShare Z740 is the latest in a long line of Kodak digital cameras bearing the EasyShare name. EasyShare cameras generally live up to their name quite well, being easy to use, with the accompanying software doing a good job of facilitating sharing through a variety of media. The Kodak Z740 is no exception, providing true point & shoot operation with accurate exposure, a very flexible automatic white balance system, and the bright, highly-saturated color that seems to be preferred by most US consumers. At the same time, while the Kodak Z740 sports a very easy to use "green zone" fully automatic mode, it also offers programmed, shutter- and aperture-priority, and even full manual exposure control for more experienced users. Add its 10x zoom lens and 5.0 megapixel CCD, and the Kodak Z740 is a very digital camera, particularly so for one with such good ease of use.
Initially available only in bundled packages with the new Series 3 Kodak Printer dock (we're told that the camera will be available by itself later in 2005), the Kodak Z740 offers flexible long-zoom shooting in a very easy to use digital camera. Read on for all the details!...
