4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent SLR camera, 9 Nov 2005
By A. Roberts "Ady" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have just purchased one of these, after reviewing SLR cameras, and after narrowing it down, chose this one. The zoom (optical & digital) are excellent, and I am impressed by the quality. The battery it came with (lithium non-rechargeable) has lasted over 200 photos, which I was very pleased with, as digital cameras usually eat batteries. It also takes normal / rechargable 2 AA batteries, a great plus. The only slight negative (hence 4 stars) is there is a thumb lever thing (in the middle of the dial) on the back which is a bit awkward to control, but other than that I would definately recommend this camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want excellent value for money? Read on....., 29 Dec 2005
Having been used to Olympus and Canon EOS SLR technology over many years I sought a low-cost digital camera to supplement other equipment rather than replace it. However, I have found that the Kodak Z740 is likely to become my camera of choice not least for its simplicity, light-weight and accuracy. The scene modes make the most of the camera's capabilities and appear to be well tuned to the preset subjects. Of most interest to me was a unit which would provide me with accurate control over depth of field for portraiture and again I have not been disappointed at all. Not only does the portrait mode perform well but if we add into the equation the ability to switch to manual and then additionally control exposure metering between three options as well as focus zoning, the overall package is excellent. Try using center-spot metering combined with center zone focusing for some truly stunning vibrant portraits. Having just ventured into the falling snow I shot below recommended temperatures and with a damp camera unit and still obtained excellent results. With regards battery usage I have managed to get over 200 shots, with the flash being used 70 per cent of the time, from one pair of Mignon Ni-MH 2400 mAh rechargeable batteries. By all accounts this is superb performance. In my opinion you would be well advised to purchase 2400 mAh rechargeables for any heavy flash work. Take notice of Kodak's documentation: never use Alkaline batteries!! So, would I recommend this camera? Absolutely! It represents tremendous value, portability and performance. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't put this gem down!, 31 May 2006
By David Livesey (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As an ex-pro I thought that I would never buy a Kodak camera! It is a real gem. Amazing definition of our little dogs nose, every little hair and blemish. Nice big screen but I still prefer viewfinders. Versatile and easy to use features acquired from a turn-disc with announcements on screen rather than scrolling through menus. Amazing battery life,light, not too big but not a pocket model. Nearly bought a Fuji Fine Pix at £200, this Kodak camera is one of the best small cameras I have ever owned, just can't put it down!
