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).

Value
Kodak has initially tagged the Z700 at $399 and is set for shipping in February, 2005. Along with the inclusion of the ImageLink-compliant EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3, the Z700 contains a great combination of features at a reasonable price. The 4.23-megapixel CCD, 5x optical zoom, 16 MB of internal memory, and direct print compatibility make the Kodak EasyShare Z700 a competitive choice in the sub-$400 (USD) range.
