Kodak EasyShare C340

Strengths: The 5.0MP plus the 3X Zoom is great.

Weakness: A larger internal memory would be great, but did buy a 1.0g Card.

The EasyShare C340 is a lot better than its EasyShare DX3500 brother. It is more compact and goes anywhere and takes every picutre as though you are right there in the shot.

c340

Strengths: Very small, light. looks great. Easyshare button allowing quick printing of pictures.

Weakness: n/a

very good camera but absolutely eats up batteries. I went through the 2 OEM batteries and 6 other batteries in only 2 1/2 days.. I averaged with the LCD screen on, about 15-20 minutes of powertime. Takes great shots although

EasyShare C340 Digital Camera

Strengths: Nice price for good quality (5.0 mp). Easy to use. Many features. Opt. Zoom always the best but it's Digital Zoom works pretty good. Even in 1.1 mp the snapshots have nice look. Imagine a higher.

Weakness: Slow Loading if you are in hurry. Needs a MultiMedia Card (MMC), SD Memory Card (1G = 700 pics in 5.0 mp)

*Don't use another kind of batteries and believe me you will not have any problem with durability (batterie life) so buy the same kind that is coming with your camera and you can find it in any big store like (wall...) and is not expensive after all. And if you turn off your LCD screen you will have a super long batterie life.
* Tip: For the night it will look great only in sport option with flash when you are photographing family portrait.
Sport option is amazing for taking motion pictures.
Lower ISO in Auto option less noise than the higher.

Good Camera for the Digital beginner

Strengths: Compact, Easy to Use, Low price

Weakness: Have to purchase additional memory card

Highly recommended for a beginners (such as myself)
Very easy to use. The more I use it the better I like it.
If you are looking for an inexpensive, simple, reliable camera that also has 5.0 mp this is the camera for you.
Detailed instructions helped me begin.
Honestly don't know why I waited so long to go digital!

Kodak is getting it right for digital cameras

Strengths: Compact and reatively light, good color reproduction and ease of use

Weakness: Battery life

Although it is not the best 5MP camera out in the market, but the price and performance ratio, it is not bad at all. Color reproduction is good. Kodak is slowly getting it right for a compact camera. Some way to go compare with Canon and Nikon, but it is in the right direction.

Kodak EasyShare C340 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Weakness: LENS-SHUTTLE RETRACTION- EASY TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH

I LOVE THIS CAMERA, AND I AM A BEGGINER, I ALSO HAVE THE PRINTER DOCK FOR IT. BOTH ARE GREAT, GREAT COLOR PICTURES, HAS A LOT OF BUTTONS, READ YOUR MANUAL AND YOU CAN DO A LOT MORE WITH IT. SENT THIS ONE BACK TO STORE, BUT WILL GET ANOTHER OF THE SAME CAMERA. SMALL AND COMPACT.

Kodak EasyShare C340 Digital Camera

Strengths: Easy to use, lots of options for picture taking and cropping, I especially like the red box/bar that tells you how much you can enlarge/zoom in a picture and still have a good quality photo.

Weakness: The battery life is short if you use the LCD screen to take pictures and view pictures. It would have been better if the camera included the zoom bar in the viewfinder (not only on the LCD screen).

This is my first experience with a digital camera and I think this is a great camera for beginners like me. It is pretty easy to use and I was impressed with all the features that were available such as the different scene selections and lighting you can choose from to take a picture. I like being able to enlarge the picture and the notification box that lets you know when the picture is as large as it can be without sacrificing print quality.

Great starter camera for price.

Strengths: Small, light, and easy to use.

Weakness: Eats battery.

Battery life not good for extended useage. About 2 to 2 1/2 hrs of constant use. With LCD screen on. 2-3 days normal use 20-30 minutes Recragable batters good idea. Picture quality great for price. Need to buy memory card. Internal memory only Good for about 8 pictures at 5.0 megapixels setting. More when lower megapixels are selected. Sport setting works great for things in motion. Great First time digital camera. Just point and shot for great pictures.Pretty easy use for printing your pictures too.

kodak digital camera

Strengths: Flash function not good enough

Weakness: n/a

This is by far the best camera I have ever owned or used. I'm not a professional but with a little more practice I think I could take "professional" pictures every time.

c340

Strengths: Easyshare button allowing quick printing of pictures.

Weakness: Not small enough. There're cameras with same features but half the size.

When the flash comes on, causes picture of child to have closed eyes. Camera worked fine with enough lightning available and turn flash off. I think that this camera is excellent for a beginner.

Kodak c340

Strengths: very easy to use, price very good for 5 megapixel

Weakness: battery seems to drain very fast, cheapy looking plastic case.

This camera has loads of features and very easy to use. Good choice for someone who doesn't want to spend loads of cash. Only drawback is it uses AA batteries which drain very fast. Also the case looks rather cheap, like a step up from a disposable camera. The camera does not come with a card for memory and the internal memory is very small so you can't get very many pics in without the card.

Kodak's easy-to-use camera

Strengths: Easy to use. Easyshare button allowing quick printing of pictures.

Weakness: Not compact enough. There're cameras with same features but half the size.

5.1 effective MP. I love the ease-of-use ability of the camera. There's no need to fiddle with the settings continuosly as the ambient condition changes. It has large 1/2.5in CCD which lets you see the image of the shot you're about to take. I printed some pictures from the camera and they turned out ok. Pictture quality was good. I'll recommend the camera for people wanting a cheap but high grade camera.

Ok for newbs

Strengths: Vivid color Small

Weakness: Horrid Bat life Blurry pics Not manual friendly

First things first, this is a beginners camera. But I would not recommend it to any beginner. The screen is tiny and makes the pictures look clear, but when they are put to a larger screen they are blurry about 30-50% of the time. This was really a pain. It has a horrible bat life. For me about 2 days. My final remark would be get a nikon cool pix. I my self took back this camera and purchased a sony cyber shot.
