 I'm going to have to get me one of these! February 20, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Since I've started my new career as a reporter for the local newspaper, I have had the opportunity to use the Kodak EasyShare Z710 and I have been most pleased with its ease of operation. This is the first digital camera that I have had any dealings with and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It lives up to its name in price, function, and adaptability.
I can't compare it to other cameras because its my first dealing with digital but I'm glad that my first experience has been so rewarding.
Just this past weekend, I made my first video with that particular ability of the camera.
I was most impressed and can shout the product's praises as a great starter camera.
 Not for low lighting pics February 18, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have had this camera for a couple of years now. I love it for daytime and great lighting situations. Prints great pics whether ordered or printed from a printing dock. However, I have children that play sports, sometimes at night (soccer, baseball) and in a gym (basketball). In a gym, I can not get good pictures at all, day or night. On the field at night, it may take an alright picture, but it very grainy when I print it. Very disappointed, as a lot of my pictures are of my children playing sports. It does take good action shots, just in the daytime, not at night. For this reason, I will keep this camera as a take along snapshot camera in my purse, however, I am looking at a digital SLR for quality pics of my children's sports.
Great Camera With Some Reservations February 10, 2008
I bought a refurbished Kodak September 2007 and would recommend it for everyday use. Here is what I like:
- reasonably priced
- very easy to use (out of the box, I just pointed and shot)
- perfect weight
- 10x zoom lens
- needs just two AA batteries
Here are a few drawbacks:
- no zoom stabilization
- weak flash
- unless the light is perfect, picture quality is a bit grainy
- poor lens cap
Despite the drawbacks, I highly recommend this camera. Contrary to what has been written in other reviews, mine has taken a lot of wear and tear without breaking down. I would however recommend buying a refurbished camera with 1-year warranty.
Works well for the price December 26, 2007
I bought this on Black Friday this year and have been using it for a month now. I have a Canon S2 (which is wonderful!!) and love the 12x digital zoom. I saw how cheap this was and thought I would try it out also because it had 10x zoom and motion setting. As soon as I began using it I noticed how the pictures appear grainy on the LCD so I put them on the computer to check it out, but they look normal on the computer. I like the fact that this camera has a setting for motion shots (the canon does not have one specifically for action). I took pictures of my dogs playing and they came out great...however, the shutter speed on this camera is SO incredibly SLOW compared to my other 2 Canons. When you push the button to take a shot, it takes the actual pictures about 1.5-2 seconds later so you do not get a shot of what you wanted-make sure you tell posed people to wait before moving. I am debating whether to take it back because I don't want to have paid money for action shots when my Canon is FAR better in every other aspect...the pictures are very nice, but I can't handle the shutter speed being so slow.
Wonderful camera for the money! Awesome pictures! December 18, 2007
I got this camera to upgrade my 2.1 megapixel Kodak from 6 years ago. I love it!! It takes awesome pictures and has so many neat settings I haven't been able to use them all. I am a very amature photographer and enjoy having the ability to set my own settings. I have 2 young kids and need the ability to just grab a camera and shoot and this one offers that too. I have read reviews where it is stated that the screen is pixelated. Yes, it is a bit pixelated, but that is because the pictures are taken with 7.1 megapixels and the screen doesn't show nearly that man so the picture looks a little bad. This is true especially when you are looking to take your picture. The preview of the picture is MUCH better, but nothing compared to how the actual picture looks like. The lense cap can come off if you touch it right, but there is a very good reason for that. It is for people like me who forget to take off the lense cap before turning the camera on. When you turn the camera on, the lense comes out, so the cap is designed to fall off so you don't hurt your lense. Not that I learned this from experience or anything. :) I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for a good digital camera. The only thing is, I have NOT tried the software provided by Kodak to download my pictures. Everywhere I read it said to not do that unless I wanted to devote my computer to the software and I don't, but all I have to do is plug the camera into my computer, open the memory and copy all the pictures. I then paste them where I want them and there is no software involved. We only paid $150 for this camera on black Friday, but I would've paid the $250 they are asking for it now. Definitely worth the price!
