Default Digital Camera ?

Hi, Mrs Tallbump here!!!
Am looking into buying this camera. Does anyone know anything about it, or know of a website that I can go to and check out some reveiws about it.
Here'* the link: http://kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.j...requestid=9092
Here are specs:
EASYSHARE Z710 Zoom Digital Camera
10X SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON Optical Zoom Lens
7.1 MP camera for prints up to 30 × 40 in. (76 × 102 cm)
KODAK Color Science Chip
Picture enhancing features
18 scene and 3 color modes
PASM
Just want something for taking pic'* of the kids and what not. I have a Fuji FinePix now and have had nothing but problems with it. I have heard a lot of good things about Kodak.
P.*. NEVER BUY A FUJI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My parents have had two Kodak Easyshares. They are decent cameras. The one kinda just died, but the current one is going strong. I have a Canon A520, which now has been replace by higher A500 series models, which I am very very happy with.

I'm not a fan of kodak digital cameras. I think they missed the boat and are behind on technology for cameras.

If you want a cheap good camera... canon A540 ftw.

if you want to spend more and dont mind a larger camera... canon S3 IS.

obviously you can tell I fancy canons.

my mom has the lumix....I prefer the A540 over it becasue it has a viewfinder and I like the features better.

just a tip when looking at a digital camera look for optical zoom and forget about digital.
the higher the optical the better
