Kodak EasyShare ZD710 7.1 Megapixel features for its class. While most other cameras offer 3x to 5x optical zoom, the ZD710 offers 10x optical zoom with a 35mm equivalent of 38mm to 380mm, from wide-angle to extreme telephoto perspectives. It employs a hybrid SLR design, slightly thicker than standard point-&-shoot models. It doesn’t have the ability to change lenses like an SLR. But why would you need to. The 10x zoom lens offers a vast focal range. Operation is simple – fully automatic. Feeling creative? There are manual and semi-automatic modes. The Kodak ZD710 can also capture stills and video.

Helpful consumer’s review
I bought this camera before my trip to Las Vegas in March 2008. The last time I went to Las Vegas I took a Sony camera and was very disappointed with all of the blurry pictures I ended up with. It was a total waste of time even taking the pictures. With this new Kodak ZD710 I had 1 blurry picture out of over 350 total. I am very pleased with the color, lighting and very sharp images. I had no trouble with the lens cap like the previous review stated. The cool thing is the camera automatically kicks off the lens cap when you turn the camera on. You will never take a picture by accident with the lens cap on again. Overall, its is a great camera. Great color, lighting and the biggest for me only on blurry picture. That picture was taken as a test while traveling 40 miles an hour down the strip. Just my two cents.
