Kodak EasyShare ZD710
Kodak EasyShare ZD710 Review: This is a great camera, 
the movies are nice too. Great focusing abilities. The lag time after capturing the shot is a little annoying, but I typically do not need to take pics right after each other too frequently. The cameras design gives the subject a good feeling that your picture is going to turn out well.
I found that the best case for my needs for this camera is actually the lowepro telephoto lens case Lowepro Lens Case 1. The fit is very snug, but not too snug. It also eliminates the need for the lens cap. There is room at the top to hold an extra two re-chargable batteries. I attached a Nikon lanyard instead of the includeded neck strap in case I drop it while taking pics, as I am a klutz. The lanyard also makes the camera more transport friendly when it’s in the case. Other cases did not fit into my roller laptop bag properly.
Kodak EasyShare ZD710 Review: I added this camera to my christmas list after reading reviews online. This is our second Kodak Easy Share that we have owned and both have been great cameras. Lots of options for you on this camera and the zoom is incredible.
The only one holding me back from giving it 5 stars is the lag time between taking pictures. But I have found the lag time really only shows up when my battery is running low. I have also found that if you want to take another picture without waiting for it to show up on the screen to just push the zoom and it will move right to taking your next picture.
Kodak EasyShare ZD710 Description: Whether you’re zooming in on fast action shots or taking a picture of your grand surroundings, the ZD710 is the camera that does it all. And it’s surprisingly simple to use.
Kodak EasyShare ZD710 Review: I got this camera because I wanted one that I thought would have good advanced features for me to use and yet be easy enough for my spouse to use and share the photos. There is a time lag between shots, unless you set it for ‘burst’ mode there is a button for that on top. There can also be a lag between button-push and capture if you are not in action mode. For accessories, I recommend at least a 2 GB SD card and some high-capacity batteries that are 2200 or 2500 mAh rechargeable, otherwise it really runs through alkaline batteries.
Kodak EasyShare ZD710 Review: I also wanted a camera that would use regular batteries, because I hate having to get batteries that are customized. We got an Energizer AA rapid charger with car and wall plugs and a spare set and never had a problem with running out of power or memory. You can also use this camera to take video. The Kodak easyshare software is easy to set up and makes a new folder every time you download your photos.
I really like this camera. The settings are great mix of of buttons on the camera and through the menu. It takes GREAT pictures. I put them side by side with a friend’s Canon Rebel XT and at the 7mp size, you couldn’t tell them apart. The one huge, annoying issue is the lag time between pictures. It is 8 seconds between pictures. That is the worst of any camera I have owned. Even with quick view off, it doesn’t make a difference. As much as I like the quality of the photos, I wouldn’t buy this again.
Kodak EasyShare ZD710 Review: My husband bought this camera for me as a Christmas gift in December 2007. It still works great, takes wonderful pictures, and I love it. This is a great camera for anyone who wants to get into taking photos but isn’t sure if they are ready yet to drop the serious cash you need to when you buy a “real” professional camera.
The drawbacks: My lens cap doesn’t stay on very well. It’s hard to find accessories. Zoom doesn’t get you quite close enough to take really close up shots and as I mentioned above, accessories (such as lenses) are hard to find. When you do find them, they are way too expensive to purchase for a camera that wasn’t very expensive. It’s not worth buying lenses and such for this camera. Once you are ready to take the next step in your photography, save up and buy a professional camera. Until then, enjoy the crisp and clear photographs you can get with this little gem!
Kodak EasyShare ZD710 Review: This was a great camera while it worked. I had it barely six months when it suddenly stopped turning on properly. Too much time to return it to the store, too expensive to throw away, took to camera repair shops. Two out of three told me they do not repair Kodak any longer because Kodak does not support their own products. Turn around time was longer than six months and that was only if Kodak had the part needed in stock. The third place would accept it but themselves advised against it stating the diagnoses fee would not be worth paying knowing how poorly Kodak responds to repair problems. I now own a very expensive paperweight.
