Greetings GoSox,
You can check the features of the cameras and the printers on the Kodak
site. Note that none of the cameras outside the EasyShare One features a
wireless connect option. You can use the Printer Dock Plus if you like to
print your pictures remotely, however, if you choose. The Printer Dock Plus
is the only model with the convenience of wireless photography. Kodak's
wireless accessories are designed to work with select KODAK EASYSHARE
Digital Cameras and Printer Docks. If you have a Printer Dock Plus, just set
your camera on it and you can print wirelessly. There is a remote control
offered to run this printer dock which is a nice feature. If your only
interest is in remote printing, etc. then take a look at the EasyShare One
and this printer. You can print from anywhere in the proximity of your
printer and camera, i.e. your house. You could also send images from the
camera to an online service or to your computer. You can also email your
pictures remotely.
If you are you going to use the Z series camera, then you would only be able
to activate the printer remotely. The only camera out currently that can
send images to the printer etc. is the EasyShare One.
The advantage of the new type of USB connection is that is allows connection
with current technology and other devices that may come down the road later.
It is a newer improved type of connection.
If you do not want the flash option (it really is a valuable feature) then
the Z740 may be the camera for you. The Printer Dock Plus has an accessory
options for an adapter that will enable the use of the Z740 and Z7590 with
that dock. Actually, the accessory kit for the dock enables KODAK EASYSHARE
Printer Dock Plus, Printer Dock, Printer Dock 6000 and Camera Dock 6000 to
be compatible with the following KODAK EASYSHARE Digital Cameras:
EASYSHARE-ONE
C Series
V Series
Z Series
Picture Viewer
LS755 (available in select countries)
Talk to you soon, GoSox,
Let me know if you need more detail.
