Ursula, I know you would like to stick with the Kodak Z710 because you have the accessories and all, but have you checked out some of the newer cameras that may have the features you like? I'm not sure what price point you are wanting to stay within. I looked at a lot of camera reviews before I bought my first digital camera and still wish I had my very first Canon S1IS in 2004. I miss it but the CCD sensor went bad. I know this defeats the purpose of your search, so just tell me to shut up
if you are set on the Z710
Here are the specs for the Kodak Z710. Maybe you could find another camera with similar specs on the site that you would like. If it is a newer model, it still might be available at a good price.
