Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kodak Easyshare Z700 4MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: DEAD AFTER 6 MONTHS!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this camera brand new 6 months ago. It has been used very lightly on birthdays and holidays. It has never been dropped and stored properly but now it is dead.
Aside from my bitterness over it going dead so soon I would still give it a low rating because of how fast it goes through batteries. Two AA batteries would only last one photo shoot. It is relatively easy to use and the picture quality was good but this camera is not mechanically sound.
Customer Review: Battery hog, very frustrating!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I haven't learned how to use all the features on this camera, but I'm sure when I do there won't be nearly enough battery power to actually do it. This camera will run about a half hour on fresh batteries, and then it just turns off. I thought it was defective, but a camera guy told me the Kodak digitals are like that. I would recommend a different brand with a special battery pack, not one that runs on two AA batteries. I'm going to try rechargables just to save some money, but this will never be a good camera for trips or outdoor stuff. Also, it sucks at landscape pics, bright colors (such as sunrises and sunsets) appear washed out and pale. Even a bright fuschia forest-fire sun is an anemic pale yellow (maybe that's just a digital thing).Customer Review: Great for the first 8 months or so
Summary: 3 Stars
Aside from the fact that the camera was eating batteries like they were M&Ms (no matter how powerful the battery -- even rechargeables), we were very pleased with the camera and dock after receiving it as a gift right after Christmas. I hadn't had good experiences with Kodak's digital cameras previously and was excited that they had improved so much!
Then in June our son was born and we were extra-super-excited to know that we had such a good camera/printer at home ... and almost as if I was jinxing it, the printer stopped behaving. We would get "Out of Paper" errors about 75% of the time when there was obviously paper in it ... and then "Paper Jam" errors the other 25% when there WAS no jam!
As it is, because of the battery issue we've mostly been using the camera more as a card slot for the printer than a camera -- taking the photos with my Pentax Optio and then moving the card over to the Kodak in order to use the dock/printer. Now with the printer acting up every time we try and print a picture of the baby the whole package has become close to worthless.
The 3 stars I'm giving are extremely generous -- and only because we did have a good handful of months out of it and when it WAS working the picture quality was excellent. If you're looking for long term quality, I suggest looking elsewhere.
Customer Review: Bad performance. It turns off suddently at the 2nd. day.
Summary: 1 Stars
I think Kodak is not a good brand for digital cameras. They always have some functional problem...This camera looks like a cheap material, it's heavy and not handly. I don't recommend this product. Also, the second day that I received it, it started to turn off by itself... I'm still waiting for my money back... I hope this bad purchase finish in good terms. In CONCLUSION: Do not buy Kodak Digital Cameras any more. This is my second experience with the brand...So, belive me...it will be a problem in the short term.
Customer Review: You Won't Be Sorry
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Kodak Easyshare Z700 Digital Camera and Kodak Printer Dock (Series 3)a month ago and I am blown away by the beautiful pictures I can take with this camera and the ease of printing them with the printer dock. This is my first digital camera and I was afraid that with my limited knowledge, I would really goof everything up, but this camera is practically goof proof. The printer is equally easy to use. Don't be afraid of this camera and printer if you have no experience with a digital. If I can do it, anyone can.
