brynnfromtheblock Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I bought a Kodak Z740 for work earlier this year and I love it ... I want to find something similar in the Z series with 5+ MP... I don't need the printer dock, never use it... but will eventually want just a cradle/camera dock... Any deals on the Z series? and comments from people who have had the Z and like another camera better...
amyers12345 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I have the Z760, (6mp) and I love it. I am having a little trouble now with the knob turning correctly. It has a weird setup. My sister just got a Canon Power shot and it takes really good pics too. Amazon has it on sale now for 119 I think. It's on the online deals link. But, unless you're wanting to enlarge pics, yours should be fine. Optimal MP for a 4 x 6 print is 4 MP. It is recommended that even if you have a 6 MP camera, to take all 4x6 prints with 4. I've tried both, and can't tell a difference. My best friend has a 4, and I think hers takes as good, if not better pics than mine. If you have any other ?'s, I'd be glad to help.
amyers12345 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Oh, I got mine BF last year w/ the cradle for 199, and the camera itself was $298.00 before the sale, and my walmart STILL has leftovers!

I just have to leave it at work most of the time and would like to get one for personal use... looking to find a deal though..doesn't look like the z series is on sale on BF. .... you say the Canon's good too huh? I hate to mess with what I like, I have a fuji finepix now and hate it!!
RossMAN Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I also prefer Canon over Kodak because they offer superior picture quality and some manual controls. BestBuy.com has the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3S on sale for $158.39 Here's a review with sample pictures.
brynnfromtheblock Posted November 19, 2006 Author Posted November 19, 2006 The cannon looks comparable, I really love having a cradle to recharge/keep it in though... when I didn't have one I never remembered to do it and had issues...
