Kodak EasyShare Z730 Digital Camera Review

A recent new addition to the Kodak line up is the EasyShare Z730. Like many of the new Kodak digital cameras the Z730 is part of the EasyShare range so the camera can simply sit on the Kodak Printer Dock Series 3 and begin printing all or a select few...

The LCD screen on the back is a nice size at 2.2 inches and is accompanied by and optical viewfinder for traditional 35mm compact camera happy snappers

Kodak EASYSHARE Z730 Zoom

Departing from the trend of flimsy Kodak cameras, the Z730 feels quite a bit more solid than many other Kodak models in this category. There is still ...

Great features, beautiful pictures, wonderful LCD

Recovery time is poor, it's a little large, the on button is irritating

If you can handle its slowness between shots and other minor flaws, you'll have yourself a great camera.

Excellent Purchase

I am very happy w/ this product. I've taken 50 pics in the last couple of days. Took pics of the family, took it to the Colts game (I can even get a decent pic of the Cheerleaders from the upper deck, which the wife didn't like ;-) I got a One gig SD...

Kodak EasyShare Z730 Silver 5.0 MP 2.2" 153K LCD 4X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

i love this camera. i love it so much. sometimes i look at it and say this camera is so sexy. but like 1 out of every 100 times i look at it, i say man i wish my camera was really thin and small. but this thing is great. and it has all these little...

overall great camera

only thing, you cant zoom in and out during a video, only before hitting the record button. and you can't use the digital zoom, only the optical. and this isnt that big of a problem

Very Pleased.

Overall my wife and I are very pleased with this camera. I read many reviews and compared prices and such, and for about 220 plus 19 for an extra larger battery, I think we made the right choice. We take about 10-50 pictures a week of our newborn, and...

Easy to use. Lots of modes. We actually use the scene mode often because they have some onscreen descriptions and the pictures come out much better. Nice pictures inside and outside. Pretty fast between pictures. Lithium battery lasts a long time. We...

1) I don't like having to take the battery out of the camera to recharge. This has actually turned out to be less of a hassle than I would have thought. I will add that even though the battery has to be removed to charge, the camera has held the date...

Compares to a 750 dollar camera!

First thing I wanted to do was take a picture with this camera after it came in the mail. Unfortunately, the battery had to be charged first. So I waited 2 and a half hours. Finally it was done charging, but it was already 10PM and it was too dark to...
