  Overall Rating: 5 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:3 Years

  Strengths: Easy to use, easy to download, nice link with Kodak to share photos. Link through Easyshare to print at home.

  Weaknesses: Trouble focusing when zooming out all the way.

  Overall Evaluation: I am a custom home builder and most of our clients live out of town. We take photos weekly of their job sites to keep them up to date. The homeowners use the link with Kodak to forward pictures to friends and family members and to order prints. I didn't research this model, I found it at Wal-Mart during their Black Friday sale a few years ago. I haven't had any problems with it and would recommend it.

  Duration of ownership:18 Months

  Strengths: Easy zoom , several modes for photos, video w/sound pickup that rocks thats better quality than some video cams I've used.

  Weaknesses: Impossible to take a long distance zoomed shot without a stand.

  Overall Evaluation: We had a Fuji Fine pix before we got this model and had nothing but headaches with it,paid twice as much and the piece of junk broke a mnth after the warranty ran out, so ,unless you rather spend hundreds more and I've checked prices,this is by far the best one for the average user and the quality of photos is superb. One feature is battery life is exeptional and use only two aa size. rechargable or not your never stuck with a dead cam because the battery died.

  Duration of ownership:6 Years

  Strengths: Cant say enough about this camera, had a Z700 stolen off me, it was 6 years old 4MP and it out performed most new cams, I decided to find the Z740 as its replacement, Perfect!

  Weaknesses: Not one

  Overall Evaluation: great pictures, great close ups, great quality, I cant say enough about it, I would take this older camera any day over a new one in its price range. This camera gives you pro shots at a beginers level, and if you step it up and know what your doing with the scene settings...forgetta about it, you got some quality pics, 4/27/12 and im not givin it upRaffaele

  Duration of ownership:2 Years

  Strengths: Can start using this camera without a manual, and my kids have a cheaper priced Kodak for their 1st camera. I would recommend this camera for anyone.

  Weaknesses: The distance part is difficult, but then so are many other cameras I have had that are not digital.

  Overall Evaluation: I like the fact I can bring in this camera, turn off the automatic light, and take pictures in say a museum. I did that, but I did learn that you have to hold down the shutter to be able to receive the full light when taking a picture. I have had to use other software to copy pictures onto a CD, but I have the current version and have not used it yet to copy any CDs. I have used the software to send pictures, very easy to use! Love this camera! This is my 2nd one I have purchased. Would buy this one again!!!!

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Outstanding image quality, great interface

  Weaknesses: That bleeping green light, occasional blurry images, computer software is bloated

  Overall Evaluation: Wonderful pictures from this camera...worth every penny. I don't like that bright green light...people look at you when you're trying to take candids. The software it comes with is bloated as well...use a card reader.

  Strengths: Optical Zoom

  Weaknesses: Macro zooming

  Overall Evaluation: This is a fantastic camera! My husband wants one now! So on the first, we are going to get one for him. Imagine - his & hers digitals...now that's America! We love this camera sooooo much. I had to have it before Christmas because it has 1 hour of video on top of all of the photos it takes with the memory card. You definitely need a good video card. But, this camera is fantastic! Not too bulky, fits the hand nicely. It looks big, but it really isn't. Great deal for the money. Buy it!

  Strengths: Camera is ready for next picture very fast; Its so easy to use the different scene modes and they really make a difference.

  Weaknesses: I wish it would stay on standby longer

  Overall Evaluation: I love this camera; the quality of the pictures are great. It such a easy to use camera. And, if zoom is important, this one has it. I can't say enough on how happy I am.

  Duration of ownership:4 Months

  Strengths: Easy to use; beginner friendly; price is right; zoom is fantastic-- 10x optical zoom!

  Weaknesses: not compact for a purse or a pocket

  Overall Evaluation: Overall, I am thrilled with this camera! I am a novice when it comes to picture taking, and it didn't take me long to figure out all of the settings that come with the camera. They are easy to understand and use. Because of all of these options, my pictures are actually better than they were with my old Kyocera camera. I bought the camera from Buydigs.com, and received it within 3 days of ordering...no shipping charges or tax! It has a cool feature that 'tells' you where your optimal zoom zone is, before you take a photo. Once you've passed it, it indicates you're in a 'red zone', and therefore have probably 'zoomed' too far in to produce a quality picture. I was not impressed with the EasyShare software, and immediately uninstalled it (it messed some things up on my computer), but it isn't necessary at all.

  Duration of ownership:1 Days

  Strengths: Images were crisp and clear. Limited red-eye.

  Weaknesses: Does not have a true optical view finder.

  Overall Evaluation: We liked the images that this camera took. We hated the view finder... looks like a video game, with some strange colors. Picture you see in finder is different than what is actually taken. The finder is different than the LCD.
