Introducing the Kodak Easyshare Digital Photo Solution--the start-to-finish way to capture and share your memories in seconds. This bundle comes complete with a Kodak Easyshare Z740 digital camera and a printer Dock Series 3--everything you need to take, make, and share real Kodak pictures simply. Capture your images with the 5.0 MP camera, then print real Kodak pictures with one touch using the printer dock.
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 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.

3 Wonderful Camera
I researched for a very long time before deciding on the Z740. I am sooooo HAPPY with my purchase. Kodak's cameras are so easy to use and this one is no exception! The pictures I have taken are AWESOME! I love having the 10X zoom, I can get some amazing closeups. I recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for an easy to use camera that has the capability to do a lot with!
4 Outstanding Camera
Want a camera that is easy to operate, takes great pictures, and as "affordable"? Our family highly recommends this camera.
We came into the search with several basic criteria:
1) It must be easy to use (no background in FORTRAN or C++ required)
2) High quality (5 mpx)
3) Fast recovery time
4) Easy to move photos to the computer and print
5) AA Batteries if possible
6) 5-10x zoom
I was shocked to see the Z740 met each of these to our satisfaction.
It seemed that when we were researching, we'd find a camera that was 5 mpx, took AA's, but had a 5-6 sec recovery. Or another camera would have a 2-3 sec recovery, 5 px, but had a non-standard battery type.
We were about to give up and just buy the one that "most" fit our criteria -then a friend recommended the Z740. We've been amazed.
You select the picture mode by rotating a dial. Within seconds, you can take a video, rotate the dial, and take a still shot - No searching the menu to put it in video mode - just rotate the dial.
Focus is "point and shoot" - a set of brackets resizes to show you what the camera is focusing on and then turn green.
Picture review is easy - a single button push puts you in "review" mode - You can then zoom in or out on your picture.
Transfer the pictures by simply placing the camera on its docking station / printer, then push a button.
The computer software is fairly intuitive, though those who use other photo programs like Adobe Photoshop or Corel Photopaint may find it a bit basic.
The little printer prints GREAT photos - but they are expensive (Kodak propriety paper and ink ribbon) - $25 for 40 prints; still, it does a great job of printing "waterproof" prints. To print, you just hit the "print" after you dock the camera, or you can print your photos from the computer to your desktop printer, OR you can send pictures in to a photo developer (local camera shop, Sam's, Costco, etc.) to print only photos you want.
My wife does scrapbooking and it is ideal for her.
We highly recommend this camera.
5 Awesome
Good Camera, This is my first Digital... From 35mm I waited to get his model. Worth the wait... The battery seems to not last that long always have a spare on hand. Also get the Camera Fire Wire USB Wire. It communicates great with a touch of a button to the PC. I have a Dell-P3 600 and it works fin with my USB Port.
Support Kodak, Thank you from Rochester NY
6 I love this camera
I really like this camera, I can take the printer dock with me anywhere to print pictures and the pictures turn out great.
7 No USB cord!
This is an amazing camera, which really takes great photos. The 10X optical zoom is excellent. The quality of the prints are great too. However, be aware that when ordered with the printer docking station, a USB cord to connect your camera directly to your computer is NOT included. Kodak includes a USB cord to connect the printer to the computer, but who wants to carry the printer everywhere. I called Kodak and apparently they want to charge $14.95 for the cord.
8 Finally ...takes Lithium CRV3 Batteries! Hurray!
So far i've been impressed with how fast the minute you push
the "snap-shot" the flash automatically pops-up and
it's ready to take your photo! I have compared with the other
2 older models DX7590 & DX6490 ..this one is much lighter and faster in starting up ready to take action with your photos!
It also looks sleek ....but the Optical zoom is more amazing
than the other older optical zoom models!
I've been waiting for this one to come out with using AA Batteries! But better and longer lasting batteries are the Lithium CRV3 Batteries ...they will last you longer and it's
more convenient and reassuring that you can load up your
Z740 right away if battery dies down! I do alot of travelng
and i'm looking so foward to using my amazing Optial Zoom lense
to capture the moment! (even though i carry this Z740 with me wherever i go ...it goes!)
I also developed the pictures i took
and they came out very clear & colorful! Of Course! that's Kodak Science for you...
