Opinion: This camera is very little more than a DX7440 equipped with a 5 mp sensor. The body and features are basically identical while the timings are a fraction of a second slower, not really significant. Burst mode does 5 shots instead of 6 with the DX7440 and, at the same time, the buffer clears maybe 10 seconds sooner. I cannot tell the difference in the pictures whether as small prints or on my 17" LCD monitor.

I gave my DX7440 to a relative and bought the Z730 as a replacement - it's a fine camera but whether it is worth $75 more than a new (and now discontinued) DX7440 is an open question.

Given the similarities of the cameras, it might be a good idea for those interested in the Z730 to read the many reviews of the DX7440.

Problems: None

Opinion: This is my 2nd Kodak digi camera and I really like this one. In my opinion it takes excellent photos at t he highest quality level and decent photos atthe medium quality range. The video feature works way better than expected and the battery life is outstanding for a rechargeable. The 32mb if internal memory is sufficient and the flash lighting is adequate. Over all I highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to take excellent high quality "point & shoot" images at a very competitive cost. I bough mine through Dell and I paid for the camera $255 and bought a 128 memory card for $15 .....also one thing, my wife is a simple camera user (she likes to just turn the thing on and take a photo) in auto mode she can do just that and the shot turns out great indoors or out.

Problems: The on off dial is hard to turn and the camera is easy to drop. The little cord that holds the camera is delicate and hard for a man's hands to hold onto. I recommend purchasing a kneck strap and use a lens cover or a camera bag to prevent dust, dirt and moisture form entering through the openings. My only concern is I am afraid it could bust easily if dropped and that would not be good :)

Opinion: Il s'aggit de mon 5 eme apppareil. Je l'ai choisi pour la focale qui débute à 33 et la fonction pictbridge.
L'appareil est solide ( malgré une grave chute et une torsion de l'optique il est toujours ok ! sans sav ) La durée de la batterie ( modèle klic 5001 ) est supérieure à la moyenne ( 3 jours indensifs voir plus... )
Un option à copier le réglage de l'indensité du flash très utile et efficace en contre jour par exemple
Qualité de couleurs très bonne avec le réglage Kodak

Problems: Compression de l'image excessive. Un bon 4 mégas donne des résultats similaires !
Mise en marche pas pratique et très longue ( > 3 secondes ! )
Effet de franges assez prononcés !, globalement les contres-jours sont souvent entâchés ...

Opinion: I have this model since 2 months- I took about 2000 pictures and over 90 % of them seems to be good and very good quality:) It has a very good lens with 4x optical zoom that's excellent. Thanks to the manual settings you are in charge to do anything with this camera- it has also very short snap to shot time. I recomend this model for every begginer-it is much more than canon models

Problems: I didnt spot any cons yet :)
