Introduction
Oh, the much maligned shoebox! It's the repository of hundreds of old prints that are covered with dust and yellowing with age. Digital photography was supposed to eliminate the proverbial box by empowering you to make just the prints you wanted. The problem with this theory was reality. Rather than making prints most people simply downloaded images to their PCs where they stayed, in effect, making the computer a 21st century shoebox. Although making a print at home is relatively easy manufacturers have forged ahead by making it even simpler. No one has done this better than Kodak with its new camera/printer dock bundles such as the Z740 camera combined with the EasyShare Pinter Dock Series 3 ($479 list, $425 or less in the real world).
With one purchase, you get the Z740, a decent 5-megapixel digicam with a 10x optical zoom and the dock that cranks out 4x6 prints in about 90 seconds. You simply place the camera in the dock, find the image you want to print on the camera's 1.8-inch LCD screen, hit a key and out pops a print. This is about as easy as it gets for PC free printing. Now does this imaging solution make sense for you? Read on and find out...
Note from the editor: You can pick up this bundle for only $409.95 from Newegg, one of the lowest prices on the web. Click here to buy it.
