I purchased this camera in 1998 at a time whem most people would not have heard of digital cameras. It cost $1600 dollars – OMG
I still have this cameraa in perfect working order and take it out for a Sunday drive. Always amazed at the pictures it produces from a 1.3mp CCD.
One issue was battery consumption, a set of 4 NMHI batteries and a charger was supplied. In the late 90’s NiMH batteries did not pack a lot of power (lower current ratings) and were expensive. I had several sets in the bag to keep me going for a couple of hours and always putting the camera into standby between shots.

      

Kodak Z730 Camera and Printer Dock Bundle

 
Designed for “zoom seeking” picture takers, the fast-performing KODAK EASYSHARE Z730 digital camera incorporates advanced features that offer outstanding performance without sacrificing ease of use. The professional quality SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON 4X optical zoom lens (33-132 mm equivalent) allows greater photography experimentation and more range than with a comparable 3X optical zoom. In addition, a 2.2-inch, high-resolution LCD screen can be used to preview and instantly review shots. Continuous auto-focus delivers rapid click-to-capture (0.2 second), precisely freezing action at a desired moment, while the lithium-ion battery delivers extended shoot times and rapid recharging.
