Kodak Easyshare Z740 5MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom


Editorial Review:

Get close to your subjects with 10X optical zoom and 5X advanced digital zoom (50X total zoom). Create unbelievable-quality prints up 20"x30" (50x75 cm) with 5.0 MP. Get rich, vibrant color under a variety of lighting conditions with the exclusive KODAK Color Science Chip. Capture consistently crisp, precise pictures thanks to the auto-focus system with assist lamp.

The Kodak Easyshare Z740 camera is ideal for people who want to get close to their subject but enjoy the simplicity of a point-and-shoot digital camera. Its powerful 10x (38-380mm equivalent) Kodak Retinar aspheric, all-glass optical zoom lens can quickly zero in on a small object or distant scene, picking up the detail, color, and textures that a less powerful lens would overlook. The 1.8-inch, high-resolution, indoor/outdoor LCD screen and electronic viewfinder are designed for previewing a scene or reviewing and sharing shots just taken.

The Kodak Easyshare Z740's scene modes
The Kodak Easyshare Z740 features 16 scene modes to help you get your shot.
In addition, the 5 MP Easyshare Z740 camera includes more advanced, yet simple to use, features to help people get exactly the pictures they want. These include 16 scene settings (e.g., party, sport, portrait) for various environments, continuous autofocus for crisp pictures, first and last burst modes for action photography, color options (e.g., black-and-white, sepia), and even PASM (program, aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual) modes for greater control and creativity.

The Kodak Easyshare Z740's Color Science Chip
The Kodak Color Science Chip collects scene data to identify and adjust factors that influence picture quality.
The exclusive Kodak Color Science image processing chip helps deliver vibrant, accurate colors time and time again. Each time you click the shutter, the Kodak Color Science Chip performs an instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and adjust multiple factors that influence picture quality. The scene light source is detected and adjustments are made to capture bright whites and true, vivid colors under difficult lighting conditions--fluorescent, tungsten, or daylight. Scene content is analyzed for luminance, focal distance, subject matter orientation, and color to determine the correct exposure and to capture the natural details, accurate flesh tones, and rich colors you see in your composition.

As with all Easyshare cameras, the Z740 includes the favorites feature, which lets people store dozens of pictures in internal memory for anytime, anywhere sharing; the Share button for designating pictures to be e-mailed or printed; popular Easyshare software for computer-based picture viewing, organizing, and sharing; and even high-quality video (640 x 480 pixels) for recording and sharing life in action.

Z740 camera owners can also take advantage of a range of accessories for additional creativity, including a 0.7x wide-angle lens and 55 mm circular polarizer and neutral density filters.

The camera's 10x optical zoom is equivalent to a 380mm zoom on a 35mm camera.

Positive results from camera:

Since purchasing this camera, I have been able to get better telescopic pictures than with my previous smaller camera which, helps in the line of work I am in. Pleased with the purchase, speed of delivery and the care taken to assure the camera arrived in one piece.

fantastic camera:

This is a fantastic camera and has all the features I needed as a newsletter editor and publisher of a flying club journal. The only negative thing is the short battery life with anything less than a 2700 mAh NiCd battery (NiMH 3000Mah are the best), with a good battery and charge the camera will go for weeks. The simm card door is easy to break but functions fine without it. Point and shoot at any air speed provides a clear photo in bright sun or the night sky. The camera has more features than the average... more info

Would buy this camera again!:

We purchased this camera (our first digital) in 3/05 for our Alaskan cruise. We are very inept photographers so we wanted an easy to operate point and shoot camera that would take wonderful pictures. This camera does it all and 4 yrs later we would still buy this camera!! We actually took some of our photos from Alaska and enlarged to 18x20 and they are fantastic. Used it many times while moving on inland boat tour to see whales and the boat was rocking big time but the photos are amazing. The zoom is... more info

Kodak surprise:

My husband & I took 6 weeks to travel to the western National Parks. Our original camera got dropped in the sand 10 days before leaving. A friend volunteered the Kodak Z740. We ended up taking over 1100 pictures including numerous pics of the beautiful scenery shot from our moving car. Much to our delight the camera performed way beyond our expectations and as soon as we returned we decided to buy one for ourselves. It's easy to hold, simple directions, numerous options and takes a clear picture. We... more info
