I have had my Kodak Z760 for a few months now and even though it is a great camera, it's not as easy to use as it might seem to be. You have to know a litte about photography to really get great results from it. I have a Nikon 3100 and I found it to be a lot easier to use. You do have a thousand options to work with the Z760, but it does require some basic knowledge about photography. It's not a "beginner" camera.One of the things I love about this camera is the battery life. I love my Nikon but I hate its batteries life. The Kodak Z760 battery life is just wonderful. You don't have to recharge it every time you take pictures using the flash.The picture quality is great. Overall, it's a great camera. You only have to dedicate a little bit of your time to really learn how it works; and perfect everything the camera has to offer you.
