Conclusion
With its 5x optical zoom and 4 megapixels, the Kodak EasyShare Z700 has some great features for its $399 price tag. The camera is compatible with both PictBridge and ImageLink printing systems, and its trademark Share button further streamlines the process. 17 scene modes allow point-and-shoot users to quickly and easily set the Z700 for any lighting situation, and 16 MB of internal memory comes in handy. This camera approaches the shape of an SLR, but is not as big. It does have a strange shape with its 3.8 x 2.85 x 2.2-inch measurements. The drawbacks to the Z700 are its tiny optical viewfinder, tiny 1.6-inch LCD screen, and its limited white balance options. However, sacrificing a little white balance for a little more optical zoom just might be a worthy trade-off for the right user.
