DCRP has reviewed the Kodak EasyShare Z740 digital camera.

The conclusion of the review:
“While it’s not perfect, the Kodak EasyShare Z740 is a pretty good ultra zoom camera for people on a budget. It offers good photo quality, manual controls, an easy-to-use interface, an AF-assist lamp, and Kodak’s famous EasyShare system.

Bottom line: I like the Z740 and it gets my recommendation, unless you take a lot of photos under unusual lighting. Fans of long exposures may also want to consider another camera, especially if my samples bothered you. While the Z740 isn’t as good as the class-leading Panasonic DMC-FZ5 and DMC-FZ20, it costs a lot less and it’s easier to use too. “
