What owners like
Kodak EasyShare Z730 works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.5-inch (5.744 x 4.308 mm) CCD and Built-in compact zoom lens are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.

Compare it with Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS, Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS, Kodak EasyShare M853, Kodak EasyShare V1233 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
