New Kodak EasyShare Z710
Kodak has released a new prosumer camera that the company says is a balance between image quality and features. Electronista reports that the "new EasyShare Z710 has the same 7.1-megapixel resolution as many more expensive compact cameras but uses a much larger Schneider-Kreuznach lens with 10X optical zoom. Kodak promises full manual control for veteran photographers while still giving access to 19 preset modes and the EasyShare function to quickly share photos with computers or printers." The camera also features a 5x digital zoom (50x total zoom), SD/MMC card support, 32MB of internal memory, and many picture editing and enhancement features, such as multiple scene mode, a live histogram display, five color modes, continuous video (VGA 640 480 at 10.5 fps or QVGA 320 240 at 20fps), and burst mode to capture images in succession. Kodak says it expects the Z710 to ship in October for £280 (about $530US, however, US pricing will likely be less).
