Rating: Summary: You'll never need another roll of film again... Review: I have been holding off on buying a digital camera for a while now, since I've always been scared off by the price. Well, I finally "caved", and I can't believe how happy I am that I did. I had narrowed my choices down to Kodak brand cameras, and was going to purchase the DC280 when I saw this one. Apparently it's based off of that design, and even though it cost a few dollars more, it seems well worth it. The USB interface is a breeze, and the camera has just enough cool/custom features that I feel I can take some interesting shots without feeling overwhelmed. The picture quality is excellent, and I haven't noticed any serious battery drain. If you're thinking about buying a camera, I say wait no longer! If you're not sure which one to get, this one may be worth the extra money, and should at least be a finalist in your decision. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Good Camera, But it has a few drawbacks! Review: I have really enjoyed my Kodak DC3400, but it does have some "issues". After about two or three months of use the battery cover broke, and it does not close totally securely. It does close, but one jolt, it pops open and out fall your batteries. I have to be especially careful to hold my hand over it while taking photos. It also makes the "battery low" icon pop up occasionally, which in the beginning cost me a lot of money in replacements. My husband did temporarily fix it, but it still isn't perfect. Anyway, that was the only physical drawback. Another issue I have is the battery life. I got smart and turned off the display while taking pictures, which significantly increases the battery life. You can easily find a model that is just as easy to operate, but has a battery charger to accompany it.
Rating: Summary: Kodak 3400 Digital Camera Review: This is a great camera, the only drawbacks I have encountered while using it is that it is difficult to capture motion shots with it, the shutter is delayed and requires some pratice to get a shot. Also it is only a 2x zoom, and I have discovered that this is not enough for the pictures I am taking. Otherwise the batteries last about 2 days of regular use and the pictures are clear and the camera is simple to use and set up. This is a good camera for someone that doesn't need fast speed or zoom capabilities.
Rating: Summary: DC3400 is a very nice, mid price range digital camera Review: I love all the functions on the digital camera which a regular SLR 35mm camera does not have, such indoor light filtering and instant preview.What I don't like about it is the autofocus function. It doesn't focus very well when lighting is not sufficient. I have to use tripod most of the time to take good, steady pictures. The 8Mb memory card was a joke. I went and bought a 128Mb card right away.
