Kodak Z740

[SilverTurtle]

Anyone have/used this camera? I was saving up for a P850 or similar, but saw this camera on sale for $200 today. It'd be nice if it had image stabilization, but I've been living without it for two years on a little CX7430. Any input appreciated. And thanks!

ETA: I went ahead and got the cam, since they only had the floor model left.. which brought the price down to $146 - how could I pass that up? I'm hoping to get out today and tomorrow and test it out!

Where did you buy it?

Target. It was on sale for $209, but because I bought the floor model it went down an extra 30% :D

The first Target I was at was out, but their floor model was broken. I went to another one and got lucky.

I took it out to our "Doo Dah Parade" - I don't usually have a hard preventing camera shake, but there was a definate lack of clarity on many of the images used with zoom. (Even the book recommends you use a tripod for high zoom, so not entirely unexpected). Here are some of the better photos I got from it: clicky for photos (http://www.flickr.com/photos/silverturtle/tags/doodahparade/)
