with the prices falling and competition particularly fierce, its now possible to buy a decent combined printer and digital camera package for little upwards of £150. thats a perfect deal for anyone looking to swap film for the first time. whereas most cameras bundled with printers are of the cheap, point and shoot variety, kodak has gone one better here by offering its 5 megapixel, 10x optical zoomeasyshare Z740, which in spite of its plastic build actually looks and feels like a serious contender. an array of manual features and 18 automatic scene modes cater for various conditions, plus the camera can take small video clips. as the name suggests, kodak has kept its package very simple to operate. the camera, powered by two AA batteries, sits back to front on the printer so its 1,8 inch screen faces the user. the operator then uses the camera to select a particular image for printing again a one touch process. abouth the size of half a loaf of bread, the printer dock is quiet in operation. the image is laid onto the supplied 6x4 inch glossy paper by a process of heat transfer which embeds layers of colour before adding a protective scratch and water resistant top layer. the process took 90 seconds per print, reasonable for this type of device. buying the 160 sheet paper and colour cartridge pack (£40) gets prints down to 25p each which isnt too bad. what you are left with is a pleasingly borderless and waterproof print, with colours brightly rendered with healthily warm flesh tones, making this package ideally suited to those who take a lot of people snapshots
