A sub-£250 5-megapixel ultra-zoom
[ia] Selling for $200 more than the Z700, Kodak's EasyShare Z740 sports a 10x optical zoom lens (unfortunately without stabilisation), a 5-megapixel sensor and a slightly larger (1.8-inch) LCD monitor. The optical viewfinder is replaced by an electronic one with a reasonably high eyepoint - but no diopter adjustment.
Kodak EasyShare Z740 4 to 5 Megapixel user reviews : 2.8 out of 5 - 5 reviews - photographyreview.com
The first quarter of 2005 saw Kodak expanding its 'big zoom' range with three new 'Z series' EasyShare cameras, including two 10x optical, 5MP models; the Z7590 (a minor update of the DX7590 adding compatibility with the latest printer dock) and the slightly lower cost, lower-spec model reviewed here, the Z740. The Z740 aims to offer an easy-to-use, very compact and relatively affordable entry-point to the increasingly popular 'super zoom' end of the market, while still offering a fairly comprehensive set of manual overrides. The Z740 is available (in most areas) as a standalone camera or as part of a value-added 'Digital Photo Solution', bundled with an EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3 (6x4-inch thermal dye direct-printer and camera charger) and NiMH rechargeable battery for the camera.
