just bought a new camera today kodak easy share z710 any body know anything about these. as i go to the drifts any 1 know if i will be able to take decent pics any ideas and tips on which settings to use for best results cheers.

well just reading the specs its a nice point and shoot, not the best but it will do for everyday use, u wont be able to get the shots like just dave and casey in the drifts as it doesnt really have a FPs or the speed to focus as fast, but should be good to get stills and maybe try to do rolling shots oon highway, but all comes down to learning how to use the equipment never used a kodak before but have just found that most point and shoots dont have the abilities to do drifting shots as much as an SLR

my mum owns one of them
they are alright but i dont particually like them

Panning son, it's called panning.

You will still be able to take them if the camera can go into shutter priority or manual mode but it depends on the speed in which you hit the shutter button and it actually fires the shutter. It'd probably be easier panning with a little camera too.
