GoodGearGuide has reviewed the Kodak EasyShare ZD710 and writes -
“While the big zoom and advanced feature set will appeal to some users and the price certainly is low, the sluggish operation and underexposed over-sharpened pictures produced by this model may be an issue.”

CNET.co.uk – 19 February’08 – reviews the Kodak EasyShare ZD710 and notes its controls don’t work so well. Here’s a summary of their review -
“Here’s a well designed super zoom but it’s plagued by a jerky zoom and small LCD. Yet, it’s small, easy to operate and the price is right which means this just could be the perfect backup camera. Image quality is reasonable good but images above ISO 200 tend to be grainy with high ISOs yielding pictures that are basically unusable.”

I enjoy my EasyShare ZD710…it’s a great starter camera for those new to digital photography. ZD710 is compact, has a variety of features and takes good quality photos.
The only thing I don’t like is that EasyShare makes it “easy” to download pictures if you purchase a additional EasyShare printer or dock–if you don’t, it’s tricky to locate and download photos by yourself, and also tricky to adjust your own photo editng equiptment to the Kodak system.
Overall, I am satisfied.
Kodak zd710 is on of the easiest cameras to operate. Picture quality is great. This camera surpassed my expectations. View finder picture quality is qustionable but the prints are excellent. I could not be happier.
I’m new to digital camera, i want to know how to get good pic from this camera (the features sounds great thats why i purchase)
Can anybody help me.
Regards,
It is a cllo camra and is a great first camra
does the ZD710 Flash pop out everytime you switch on the camera ? if so is there any way to dis able it ? thanx inadvance
You can disable flash by using the Manner/Museum mode, it basicully disables the sound and flash. Hope it helps!
sorry, i planned to buy this camera, but one question from me: does the alkaline battery power supply is great enough for a long trip? thanks
I just bought this.
As a new comer to photography i find this a great starter camera =]
in a time where you can get a kodak m1063 (a 10.3 meg camera, with a size of just 10-15 credit cars=ds put together, and that can easily fit into your wallet) coming for $40 less, I have absolutely no regrets buying this one. The 10x optical zoom alone is enough to set this one apart from most, if not all compact digis in this price range. it offers red eye reducton, focus set, timer mode, shutter speed control, f-stop control, exposure compensation control, iso control… that’s a lot… and if you think its a bit too complicated for you, i guess i should let you know that to use this camera, all you need to do is point and shoot, coz with all the manual control, you have got several auto modes that control some or all of the manual controllable features. The most outstanding feature of this camera is however, is the 10x optical zoom, called super zoom by pros and mega zoom by amateurs. So if there’s gotta be one reason why you’re gonna buy this, its zoom. Plus, as some might have guessed, its got PASM-as if that wasn’t obvious! This is a semi-pro cam you’re getting at the price of an ordinary domestic cam. So be you a person who needs a camera just to capture meories, through a photography enthusiast, serious amateurs to a pro on a budget, this is the one for you!
Camera reviewersare generally top-notch pros, and the only camera thta catches that fancies are the ones in the >$1000 range. If you got any question you want an answer from an amatuer user, or an amateur’s point of view, the link leads to my myspace page. Message me over there!
My ZD710 worked great during warranty period. Shortly after that , camera turned into a Frankenstein. Sometimes camera shuts off for no apparent reason, even with new batteries. Other times when I shut the camera off, zoom lens won’t retract back into camera. When I go to download photos to my computer, I often get a message “Kodak Easyshare software has stopped working” Only solution I found is to remove camera from loading dock, turn camera back on and off and try downloading photos again. I also have issues with other software problems that seem to come and go.
I have just crossed over. my first digital. Hope I am happy!
