I bought a Kodak Easy Share Z700 and in nine months it was broken. It is not a very durable camera at all! My son dropped it on the grass and that was all it took. The zoom lense would not go back in, and the lense cover was jammed. In addition, the camera does not have a frame box to help you focus your picture, which is a negative factor. Using 2AA only lasts for about 50-100 pictures. If you are going to buy the camera you'll need to buy CRV3 3.0V if you want to get any battery life. In all it took good pictures while it was working. If you buy one, don't drop it!!!!
