Advantages: Great zoom, compact, lightweight, well built, full of features

Disadvantages: If lens cap is on when you switch the camera on lens cap will fly off and can cause lens cap damage

My wife has never really owned a great camera but I had recently purchased her a Casio that she loved and this got her more into her photography so when we were going on our honeymoon I simply had to get her something to make the most impressive photos possible.
The Kodak Easyshare ZD710 is a small camera (in comparison to many with this standard of optical zoom) which packs a lot of punch. The camera is very well designed and allows for the user to have a very comfortable experience when taking photos and is well put together so that you don't always worry about fingerprints on your screen, lens, etc.
I am a fan of this camera with little things like the flash being able to be put away easily when not needing to be used but then easily able to be called open with the flick of a switch.
The zoom buttons are perfectly placed allowing for zooming in and out to be done easily while viewing the screen and does not cause you to have to change your angles all of the time just because you want to zoom your picture.
The battery compartment is nice and secure yet easily accessible to change batteries (which are cheap to replace) and the sd card slot is very well placed so as to make it easy to get quick access (this is especially useful if you need to change memory card during an event where lots of photo opportunities will come up).
The camera is packed full of quality and feels like it with the excellent design features. The camera is a 7 megapixel with 10x optical zoom and yet remains simple to use and at around about £120 it is an exceptionally good camera for the money you are paying.

Summary: Great little camera which is easy to use, looks good and is amazing value for money
