Kodak EasyShare Z740
Comments:
The Kodak EasyShare Z740 is a midrange ultra zoom camera that fits between the Z700 and the Z7590 (which is remarkably similar to the DX7590 from 2004). It features a 5 Megapixel CCD, 10X zoom lens, 1.8" LCD display, manual controls, and an AF-assist lamp
Review Verdict: The Z740 can use a number of different batteries, including AA, CR-V3, or Kodak's NiMH pack. If you buy the camera alone, you'll get a disposable CR-V3 lithium battery. If you got the kit with the printer you'll get the NiMH pack, which is basically two 2
