Yes this can be repaired
the problem is with the image sensor,not with the lens as you can still take pictures outdoors

How many photos will a 256 mb memory card hold on easyshare z740

That depends on two main factors: resolution and detail.
The higher the resolution the more memory is required to store the additional pixels.
The more detail there is in the scene, the more memory is required to store it. Consider a picture taken with the lens cap on. You could summarize the entire picture by saying "every pixel is pure black." Compare that to a wide picture of a field of colorful flowers, where nearly every pixel is different from its neighbors. Storing such a picture will take a lot more memory.
The Z740 user guide gives this page of guidelines.

Screen and view finder not showing anything

Just covering the bases...
Make sure the lens cap is removed
Turn the ON/OFF switch to Favorite mode
Press EVF/LCD does it toggle
Look to see if the battery level ICON shows better then half
Battery combination sometimes will show a strong icon level
It may be strong in the other modes which draws less power then the picture taking mode.
My guess would be New Battery replacement.
Some tests were done that may be of value to your solution

My kodak ezshare z740

Press the shutter button halfway to focus, then when the subject is in a pose you like press it fully to take the picture. If you just press the button without stopping halfway, the camera needs to focus, that is most likely causing the delay.
