10X zoom, strong and comfortable, above average image quality

Poor recovery time, a little flimsy, quite big

With good features and picture quality, it doesn't do much to distinguish itself from the pack, but if you're after a 5 megapixel camera with 10X zoom, you could do a lot worse than this.

Great for beginners

Plasticky build

Beginners will enjoy the simplicity of the EasyShare system more than they'll lament the Z740's performance

I liked the Z740 a lot more than I expected to; first impressions after months of using the Canon S2 IS and Sony H1 weren't that positive - the Kodak is so small and lightweight that it feels almost toy-like.

Easy photo sharing Powerful zoom

Autofocus is unreliable

Once you've connected the printer to your PC, you must press the transfer button to fire up the EasyShare software and upload your photos or send copies via e-mail. The software works with Kodak's EasyShare Gallery Web site (formerly Ofoto), where you...

Easy photo sharing ; Powerful zoom

Autofocus is unreliable

The Z740's easy photo sharing and powerful zoom are enticing, but tentative long-distance focusing reduces the latter's value

Long (10X) zoom lens. Good ergonomics. Lots of dedicated analog controls. Plenty of manual controls. Good menu system and on-screen help. LCD automatically adjusts to lighting conditions.

No image stabilization. Electronic viewfinder is terrible. Images are noisy and have lots of artifacts. Joystick can be difficult to use.

A simple to use digital compact with good long zoom lens and dye-sub printer dock for direct, photo quality prints.

Plastic construction of camera feels cheap, blue pixel fringing, prints have fine lines in non-detail areas.

Print quality can only really be described as ‘fair', with prints created using thermal dye transfer technology that uses heat to transfer cyan, magenta, yellow and a sealing ‘varnish' layer onto specialist 6x4-inch photo paper at 300ppi.
