Kodak EasyShare Z700 review

Kodak EasyShare Z700

5X zoom lens; exposure-control flexibility; solid image quality.

LCD blackout between exposures; LCD ghosting; excessive image noise.

A 5X zoom lens, aperture- and shutter-priority modes, and plenty of automatic features give the economical 4-megapixel Kodak EasyShare Z700 appeal for budding shutterbugs.

Kodak Z700

The Kodak EasyShare Z700 camera was designed for the value-minded entry-level consumer that seeks high quality images and a more powerful zoom lens. It unites a 4.0-megapixel imager with a Kodak Retinar 5X optical zoom lens (35-175mm equivalent); the KODA

Bottom line - the Kodak EasyShare Z700 will make a great choice for the price-conscious consumer who wants great image quality, a versatile zoom range, and speedy performance, all for a great price. With an MSRP of under $300, it offers a good overall val

Kodak EasyShare Z700 Digital Camera Review

The Eastman Kodak Company introduced the world's very first consumer camera way back in 1888.

Exceptional ease of use, excellent image quality, 5X zoom

Virtually useless LCD viewfinder, flash is too "hot"

Kodak digicams have a well-deserved reputation for remarkable ease of use, very good image quality, and great "bang for the buck". Casual photographers looking for a reasonably priced snapshot/family camera mated to a versatile one touch mini-printer...

Kodak EasyShare Z700

ia] Kodak's EasyShare Z700 combines a medium-range Retinar all-glass zoom lens (35-175 mm equivalent) with a 4-megapixel CCD and 1.6-inch indoor/outdoor monitor. Straightforward to use, its body has the 'boxy' shape Kodak favours for its 'high-zoom'...
