from Kodak Auctions~ NEW Summary:
The latest "sports" camera from Kodak. At Kodak they don't make an "all-in-one" camera. This is a 2.1 megapixal camera that retails for around $4,900, however, Kodak has been discounting them heavily. I think part of the problem is many people don't want to pay "big bucks" for just 2.1 megapixals. Too bad, this camera is built like a tank. It's built on the F5, which is one of the finest cameras ever made. It has all the F5's features like a max shutter speed of 1/8000 of a second and the 3d matrix metering, and Nikons legandary flash metering. The white balancing is excellent and exposure is dead on. It has auto sharpining and a IR filter ~ which is indespensible when shooting at night. The ISO is "Wicked fast" at 400 to 4000, 6400 enabled.Built in verticle grip and onboard processing allow for immediate conversion to jpeg format Focus is fast and this camera feels like a camera. For some it's a little heavy.
The camera also comes with great software from Kodak. I also own D100, which is a light weight camera in which everything costs extra, and it over exposes, especially indoors.
The 720x, is a great camera, don't get hung up on the 2.1 megapixals. I've done blow ups of 11x16 with no loss of sharpness or color. This baby will meet you needs for 90% of what you do. For High Grade portraits i use my DCS660 (ISO 80-200. But when I need to grab and go , it's the 720x i take Strengths:
I pretty much said it all, but Kodak includes a nice package with a dual charger. Every cable and "plug" type you could every use and the Kodak software is really nice and easy to use, especially compared the the Nikon View 5 or even capture 3 thatI had to buy for my D100 Weaknesses:
Big battereis that drain if you leave them in the camera when not in use. Go figure, It's the same on all the 600 and 700 series cameras. Similar Products Used:
Kodak DCS660 (ISO 80-200 6.1 mega pixal)
Nikon D100 (6.1 mega pixal, not as good as the 72x) Customer Service:
never used it
