Digital Camera Review

The Kodak EasyShare Z700 packs 4 megapixels into a chunky camera body that looks like it came straight out of I, Robot. It could introduce a new generation of point-and-shoot cameras. The Z700 is part of Kodak’s new Z-line and is one of the first products to be ImageLink compatible, a designation that several companies have picked up to make home printing easier. The camera has a 5x optical 35-175mm zoom lens in front of its Kodak Color Science Chip, which is known for its accurate color reproduction capabilities. With multiple scene modes and automatic picture rotation, the user-friendly Kodak EasyShare Z700 will make its debut in February for a retail price of $399 (USD).

Resolution
The Z700 has a 4.23-megapixel Kodak Color Science Chip that uses 4 megapixels to take photographs. With that amount of resolution, users can make up to 20 x 30-inch prints.

Picture Quality / Size Options
The following image size options are available on the Z700: 2304 x 1728 (4 MP), 2304 x 1536 (3.5 MP), 2048 x 1536 (3.1 MP), 1656 x 1242 (2.1 MP), and 1200 x 900 (1.1 MB). These JPEG files can be selected as Best, Better, or Good within the camera’s menus. The 3.5 MB option is formatted to a 3:2 ratio so that it does not distort or crop when making 4 x 6 prints.

Picture Effects Mode
As is common with the EasyShare series, this model has three color modes: Color, Sepia, and Black & White.
