Just over a year ago I thought I would treat myself to a digital camera. I knew you could pay anything from about £70 up to about £400. I was forced by circumstances to go for the lower end of the price range.
I went to Dixon.s in Great Yarmouth and they were having a sale. I looked around while I was waiting and saw several different makes that helped me little.
When a salesman approached me I told him roughly what I wanted and how much I could spend. He introduced me to some Concord cameras which I had never heard of. Concord I thought, I want to take pictures not fly the atlantic. Anyway I was shown the "new" 3340z model from Concord and the salesman said they had sold quite a few and they were on special offer. I think the normal prce was £149 but sale price was £99. I was impressed.
The Concord Eye Q 3340z 3.1 megapixels digital camera seemed to have all the features I wanted. As well as those mentioned it has a 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom, a 1.5 colour LCD screen and resolution up to 2048 x 1536.
It came complete with re-chargeable batteries and a charger, also a mini USB cable to connect to PC and a TV out cable to enable you to show your photos on the TV (It also has the ability to make video clips).
It has a CD-Rom to set up your camera to the PC and various software( Adobe Acrobat reader, Microsoft Direct X 9 and ArcSoft PhotoImpression). Also A quick set up guide and a full in depth manual in four languages. All that and a carry strap and case.
It is easy to operate and I have had perfect pictures since I bought it. The software with it means I can have a photo gallery on my PC. You are able to edit and enlarge or change some features.
I took out an extended warranty on it in case I dropped the camera or it was stolen and that was an extra £25.
I am well satisfied and think it is a great camera for a reasonable price.
** ** That was three months ago I wrote that review, sadly last month (July) the camera flash stopped working. I was quite upset as the camera had served me well. Anyway off I went back to Great Yarmouth where I purchased the camera. Imagine my surprise when the salesman through the camera in the bin. I was told that they no longer stocked Concord cameras and as I had an extended warranty on the product I was entitled to a FREE replacement camera for the same price. I picked out a very smart little Olympus camera which looked very good ..............but that will be another review!
