Summary: If you like easy, this is the camera for you.
Review: I have to laugh at comments that I hear about this camera not having enough controls and bells and whistles. To delete, press the delete button. For flash, press the flash button. Every function is clearly marked on the buttons, and the more complicated functions are clearly written on the menu. You don't even need the manual for most of the cameras functions. I find it hard to understand people who complain at the ease of this camera. I believe it to be a virtue. I believe that I will take pictures with this camera that I would have missed with more expensive digitals. As a matter of fact, I gave my 'better' sony to my son. I kept the Kodak. Did I mention that it takes great pictures? Best wishes, Jon

Summary: great little camera!!!
Review: i just got the dx6340 and i love it. it is my fisrt digital cmaera. i only got it to weeks ago and i already have over 100 pictures on the computer. It is awesome. it has so many different modes. sport for moving stuff. landsape. within 24 inches. normal and some others. you can even make videos like a camcorder.it has auto focus and the 4 times optical zoom is awesome but the digital zoom distorts the picture.worthless. after you tkae the picture zoomed in though you can zoom in 4 more times by cliching th joystick thing. some people don't like the delay from whan you push the button and when it takes the picture but i don't think they know that you have to push the button half way down and then pressthe button down all the way for instant pictures.there is different modes of flash too.there is a ten second timer and a burst mode. you will want a better memorycard though. a 128 mb or 256. at least a 64MB. all together a great little camera and it is easy to use.don't likes:
I don't like how the flash is always atomaticaly on till you turn it off.
the battery life is pretty short

Summary: A camera of value and excellence
Review: I bought this camera a month ago and I _love_ it. It is very easy to use, with well-designed buttons and menu. Its 4x Schneider len is impressive considering the price of the camera. Its 1.8 inch LCD not only is larger than many other cameras, but also has higher resolution. The camera does not have an option to change image compression level. But Kodak probably has chosen the optimal level for general use and you probably will choose the same level if you are given the option. The EasyShare software is easy to use. And the trasfer of photos/videos from camera to PC is extremely easy. But without care, the software can make duplicate entries. The camera came with a scratch on the body, which is the reason I remove a star.

Summary: comment on 'annoyances'
Review: I have the similar dx6440 camera (it has a 4 megapixel sensor) and also had a previous fuji. This camera is excellent in all aspects, but my thoughts here relate to another reviewer's comments on the annoyances. 1. Yes, reviewing photos will necessitate turning the camera on which makes the lens come out. On my old Fuji, (finexpix 2600), the review mode could be used without exposing the lens. 2. Yes, the 'auto' mode and the 'manual' mode are 6 or 7 clicks removed on the rotary dial. In between those 2 are modes like 'sport', 'landscape', 'portrait' 'night' etc. To me, it's not a major deal, as the dial can be rotated quickly, and having the manual mode with your individualized options at the very end saves trying to figure out which stop you are at (you just rotate the dial to the end). 3. No. Getting the intended picture frame in the LCD screen simply requires pushing in on the joystick button that's at the center of the dial. The LCD then lights up and you can frame the picture using that and not the 'peep-hole'. Another push, and it's off. (You CAN set the LCD screen to be permanently on in the menu, but for an individual picture, you only have to just push in the joystick button as I described.) 4. No. Pictures can be reviewed without accessing the menu by pushing in the 'review' button. This brings up all your pictures, and you can move through them by using the joystick. Overall, I think the user interface with this model is very much simpler than my Fuji's was. The rotary dial selects the modes, there is a review button to show pictures, a delete button for the obvious, a flash button to cycle through the flash modes, and a menu button to pick other settings (white balance etc.)The joystick in the center of the rotary dial makes it very easy to click through any of the options. If I hadn't used my Fuji in a while, I'd have to check the manual for how to change settings. On the Kodak, the controls are much more intuitive.

Summary: Best value and performance
Review: This camera is packed with features and goodies. No other camera in its class has used Schneider Lens with 4X zoom. Easiest canera to use, but it also includes manual mode for amateur photographer to go beyond any point-shot mode. The pixel on the other hand, is not as good as those found in Canon or Sony, however it is still good enough for the money. The internal memory comes handy in case you forget to take the SD meory with you. Ohh...the burst mode is also featured for those trying to take moving pictures....4 pics per shot!! Very useful for snowboarding capture or any other sports mode....

Summary: so far, so good BUT it's huge
Review: I've only had my camera a short time but it seems reliable and easy to use. The 4x zoom is awesome and so much better than you get on most 3mp cameras BUT you should know the camera is very big... I bought it online and it's much bigger and bulkier than I expected. It's like the size of a normal 35mm camera. It's not one you'll throw in your pocket or purse and forget about. Just something to consider. I was deciding between this and the Canon SD100 and had I seen them side by side, I probably would have chosen the Canon just based on size and portability.

Summary: Excellent value, some annoyances
Review: My Fuji Finepix4700 took a dirtnap right before we went on a weekend vacation. I loved that camera. Had it for 3 years and abused it. We stopped at a retailer at 9 PM Friday night to grab something for the trip. When I found a 4x optical w/ 3megapixels for $300 I grabbed it. Overall it seems like a good value. The screen is large, and I like the look and feel of the interactive menu. I like that it detects when you hold the camera sideways and rotates the thumbnail in review mode. Not sure on battery life yet, but I like that you can use AA-NiMH rechargables (which I am stocked with due to the Fuji) as well as disposable lithiums. NOTE: SEVERAL MAJOR IRRITATIONS coming from what I am used to with the Fuji. 1. If you want to review your pictures stored in memory, you first have to turn the camera on into one of the photography modes - which opens and extends the lens (exposing it unnecessarily, potentially into the palm of the viewers hand, and wasting battery life running the motor.) 2. The "OFF" function is one of the positions on the photo mode dial. So if you want to take a picture in a mode way down the dial, turn it off, and take a another picture in a mode way down the dial - say if you like manual (PAS) mode which is last on the dial - you have to click the dial through 7 or so clicks each time. This can delay response to a quick photo opportunity and put unnecessary wear on the mode/on/off dial. 3. If you want to shoot a picture using the 1.8" display instead of the peep-hole, you have to go two-levels deep into the menu to turn it on, and then two-levels deep again to turn it off. I typically shoot using the peep hole to save battery life, but sometimes I need to use the display to frame my picture (say if I have to hold the camera in an awkward position). Similarly the option for a quick preview is two levels deep on the menu. --- The Fuji had separate controls for on/off, mode selection, review/photograph mode, and display on/off all within easy reach. So my complaints may be somewhat biased based on my familiarity with my old camera. I haven't decided whether the specs of this Kodak for the price outweigh some if it's functional design deficiencies yet.

Summary: More than Expected
Review: When my wife's camera was stolen in Rome in July, I started looking for another film camera; she was specific about that. But when I saw the Kodak 6340 with a 4x optical lens, automatic rotation of images, and a 3MP CCD, I looked at it more closely. Buying it and setting it up for her was easy; getting her to consider it took more skill. She has used it and loves it. It works like her stolen Olympus 140, but more so. After taking the photo, she can look at it immediately and take another if needed. Later she can crop or brighten the photo, as needed. The icons on the rotary dial are explained on the LCD display in an understandable way. She is anxious to try the settings way beyond those available on her former film camera. It's a winner. I recommend it for clarity of picture and ease of use, especially for casual photo taking.

Summary: Great Camera For Anyone
Review: I bought this camera after extensive searching online for the right one for me. This camera is extremely easy to use. More memory is a must for it, 128 is plenty, and also rechargeable batteries because it goes through alkalines in about 10 pictures. Overall this is a great camera for the money and I recommend it to anyone.
