Why can't I find a Kodak Z730 digital camera in any stores to look at? Only online!?

Buying first digital camera!

Try these web sites
http://bestbuy.com
http://amazon.com
http://ebay.com
http://target.com
or google it

If the camera is a new model, then this is typical. The online sales centers typically get it first and offer it for sale first.

Good prices can be had at http://www.bhphotovideo.com (by the way they have a store in NYC that you can look at it).
