I’m loving my new digicam Kodak Easyshare z710. Oppss don’t get me wrong, its not that new, like i bought it yesterday. No, its not. We bought it last April 19, yep! yep! tagal na. I just thought of featuring it since I haven’t yet. We decided to buy it since we can’t afford to buy the SLR yet and i can’t wait to have a decent digital cam. Alam nyo namang bulok na yung old digicam ko but i love and keep it since its also a gift from Luvski :D

Some Reviews:

The Kodak Easyshare Z710 is a stylish bridge-style camera with a massive 10x zoom lens covering 38-380mm, 7.1 megapixel sensor, 2 inch LCD screen, and a full range of creative shooting modes, including fully manual. Other features of the Z710 designed to appeal to the photographer in you include three types of exposure metering, ISO 64-800, a fast aperture of f2.8 at the wide-angle lens setting, and an electronic viewfinder. If all that sounds too complicated, there is also the usual Kodak emphasis on ease of use, with a full range of auto and scene modes for the less experienced user. With a recommended retail price of £279 in the UK, the Kodak Easyshare Z710 attempts to bridge the gap between value and performance and appeal to those who want DSLR-like features without the DLSR price-tag. The Kodak Z710 also offers the added benefits of image preview on the LCD screen, the avoidance of dust problems via the fixed lens and video capability.

Features i like the most:

PASM Mode—get the shot the way you want it
For those times when you feel like flexing a little more creative muscle try the PASM modes. You can experiment with various exposure controls to get the look you are after. Take control of the amount of light coming into the camera by changing the aperture (A), or length of time the shutter stays open (S), or take total exposure control by manually selecting both aperture and shutter speed (M). The PASM modes put you as in charge as you want to be.
