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 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 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.

    

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

    "I purchased this camera as desperately needed upgrade from my HP 812xi digital camera. After over 2 months of research I decided that Kodak was my best bet as an upgrade and MAN OHH MAN am I pleased! When viewed from the camera display, the pictures look good, but when actually downloaded to a computer or printed they look fabulous. I especially like the fact that the movie mode allows me to film quite a bit of footage and the battery that accompanied the camera is very strong. I was able to purchase three rechargeable back-up batteries on Ebay for $5.00 each.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA! "

    "I'm no professional- just have a couple of toddlers and love to take pictures of them. The object in motion setting is great to take pictures of them with, and the auto setting also takes very good pictures as well. It zooms in great to get close up shots of them from a good distance- they don't even know I'm taking their picture. I use the great, clear pictures for scrapbooking, printing and displaying, and for sending to relatives through email. I'm very happy with this purchase! "

    "There's no doubt about it, the Kodak Z740 is a great camera. Its small enough to carry with you (though a little too big for pockets), has a nice LCD, boasts amazing 5MP resolution, as well as professional quality 10x optical zoom (not junky digital zoom, like other cameras). You can print out an 8x10 poster of your photo without having to stretch the image, that's how great 5MP really is. Also, its got tons of features for a non-SLR model that are easy to use for camera beginners. At about $500, it is a little expensive, however."

    "Camera is excellent. Pictures are some of the best I have ever taken. The printer dock, though I feel is a little fragile, makes great pictures with superb colors.

In addition I would be remiss if I did state that this package orignally came damaged and Amazon replaced all but overnight. I am not accustomed to such outstanding customer service. "

    "If you are looking for a reasonably prices 10x zoom camera that is easy to use and takes great pictures then this is your camera. I looked around at several different types of camera's including Digital SLR but settled in on the Z740. For my general use picture taking it has enough features and quality. It is a little slow between pictures but that is not new to me as a digital camera owner. If you need to take hundreds of pictures a minute this is not your camera. The on screen descriptions when you change settings on the camera were a nice addition for me (I never knew what half the stuff on my last camera was for). "
