Disadvantages: not as sharp as many top-end cameras, and some modes can be a little confusing or difficult to use

...USA), my previous camera, a Kodak 2MP model, carked it in a rather catastrophic way. You know you're in trouble when the lens opens and closes on a whim - usually when you've got the perfect shot all lined up. And so my camera, Bert, did just that. For a year Bert was a faithful servant, but he'd been dropped on his head too many times, and I had to declare him brain-dead after the lens started doing it's own thing. Owing to my arrival in a new country, ...
...had memory cards and assorted Kodak paraphernalia already, and being a cheap bastard as well, I decided that a new Kodak would best suit my needs. And so it was that I found Bob, sitting in a Target somewhere in suburban Los Angeles. Bob has been my generally faithful slave for the last 6 months. Initially he cost me about $200US. And he certainly got quite a lot of use in his first days with me, and Bob did some pretty good work in Yosemite NP ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent looking camera, great picture quality
Disadvantages: Slightly awkward battery cover

My mum just bought this camera for her birthday in August 2003, she got it from Comet for £199 and I have just got back from holiday where I took it along to use. Firstly the specification of the camera - the picture quality is 3.1 megapixels, which for me was plenty enough, the pictures looked excellent when we transferred them onto the computer and just as good when we printed them out. The optical zoom is x4 and the digital zoom is x 3.5 which ...
...good deal closer to the subject you are photographing. To download the pictures to computer you use a USB lead which should come supplied, but you have to install the software first, which was a bit of a pain as some other cameras I have used the software is in the camera which means you can download to any computer - not just one. But this is not a major gripe. It is compatible with PCs and MACs and there are several settings for various kinds ... Read review

Advantages: versatile, sturdy, great picture quality and battery life
Disadvantages: on the big side, no paper manual

...myself and decided on the Kodak Easyshare DX 6340 as it appeared to offer both value for money and great specs for the cash. I was not disappointed! I bought the camera from Dixons for £179.00 and took a lot of pictures over the holidays in a variety of conditions. The picture quality of 3.1 megapixels is more than enough for an amateur camera user like myself. My partner, who is a keen photographer was also pleased that he could adjust settings ...
...yet managed to get the Kodak easyshare software off my start bar on the PC. There have been some complaints about the battery life on this camera, but I have found a way around it: on the set-up menu, you can switch off ‘live view’ – the screen does not automatically come on and stay on – you only have to press the little mouse to activate the screen. Through this alone, I have made the rechargeable NIHM battery it came with last over five months ... Read review

Advantages: good picture quality, easy to use, compact
Disadvantages: case quite easy to damage, lens cover not very durable

I was given this camera for my birthday having previously used an SLR camera. I've always loved taking pictures and tended to come back off holiday with 10 reels of film to develop but never really believed that picture quality could be as good with a digital camera. I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised. I worked out how to use the functions on the camera without ever consulting the instructions (only available on CD which could be a bit ...
...an extra memory card with the camera and I could see that if you didn't have that the capacity on high resolution would be rather small. I've recently bought the camera dock to go with this camera as I was getting through an incredible number of batteries (don't even bother trying to use AA batteries). Even without this, the EasyShare software makes transferring pictures to the computer fairly painless although I do find the organisation a bit confusing. ... Read review
