 Never write reviews but had to for this! |
| Review Date: November 18, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Nicholas Calhoun, |
| This is just a short review explaining my thoughts on the camera. I took a 4 hour trip to bear valley and while my friend was driving I was snapping like crazy out the window. At 80 mph I got crazy clear shots. Some of the best I have ever taken. For being so cheap $$ wise this camera packs a punch. The Image stabilization is great. Passing signs on the road I would time the shot and get clear details. I'm not here to write some lengthy review of the specs, but this camera has changed my life. I'm 22 and if I had never bought this camera and seen my potential I would have never gotten into Photography, astro-photography, webdesign etc. Bottom line is this picture is for taking pictures. It makes clicking noises which doesn't bother me. It is so cheap you don't have to worry about scratching it. It is so portable. It starts up quick which allows me to catch those once in a lifetime shots. Excellent detail without zoom. With zoom pictures can be blurry. Dont buy this camera for crazy crystal clear zoom shots. I have gotten great detail with the zoom but it may take a few shots. Battery is awesome. Menu is simple. Basic set of modes. Good sized screen. The key is having a large memory card. I have 8 gigabytes so thats around 4000 pictures. I literally point and click 20 pictures. Moving at 80mph 14 out of 20 will be crisp. On that bear valley trip I took 2000 pictures. Buy this camera if your thinking of starting photography but don't want to invest lots of money and find out its not for you. I think of this camera as a good old friend. |
Excellent inexpensive camera that delivers excellent photos

Don't let the Kodak EasyShare M340's price fool you. It delivers stunning photos with amazing color in an incredibly small package. While it doesn't have a lot of the controls of more expensive models, it performs well in most lighting conditions. However, do note that this camera will not perform very well in dim lighting -- it does not have an autofocus assist light. Personally, the lack of this feature doesn't bother me as I wanted a simple snapshot camera to carry around and take pictures mindlessly.
The best feature of this camera is the Smart Capture mode. I'm able to take photos knowing that I'll get a photo that's been optimized for that "Kodak" look - bright photos with great saturation and contrast, all without the need of Photoshop. It color corrects photos (where possible), and changes contrast in dark areas to reveal details that might otherwise be hidden.
I highly recommend this camera for people who want a simple snapshot camera who simply want to take pictures good/bright lighting who simply don't care to tweak their photos in a photo editing program.
If you're wondering about video -- it's okay, but then again, it's digital camera, not a digital video camera, so don't expect too much. They're good enough for posting on the web, but otherwise that's really about it. With low cost, dedicated video cameras capable of HD like the Kodak Zi6, Flip and Sony cameras, you'll be happier with a better tool designed to deliver video. |
Great gift

| Bought this camera as a gift and it is fantastic! The recipient is a novice, but other members of her family have had years of experience with digital cameras. She has had absolutely no problems with learning to take pictures and has taken some beautiful ones! The other members of her family have tried to "borrow" this camera. The pictures are crystal clear. No one has used the video on the camera. Other members of her family who have used this camera and printed pictures are now in the process of buying this same camera for themselves. |
Kodak made a great entry level camera

I will be honest, this is not the best point and shoot out there, but for the price you can't beat it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great camera under $150. I have 12 digital cameras ranging from a Nikon D300/D40 to this...
What I like:
- Image quality
- Size
- Self timer has option to let you take two photos (in case one is bad)
- Long lasting battery
- Smart Capture make it easy to take photos
What I am not crazy about:
- LCD can scratch easily
- Would like a 4X zoom but 3x is standard for this class of camera
- LCD can be hard to see in direct sunlight |
Addition to the clicking problem solution offered by Marlene

| Marlene offered an effective solution to the clicking problem with this camera, but I couldn't figure out how to find the "AF" part of the menu. I just wanted to point out that you need to be in video mode for that part of the menu to show up. (change it from "continuous AF" to "single AF"). Hope this helps! I just bought it, but am VERY happy with this camera so far now that the clicking problem is fixed! Thanks to Marlene for figuring this out! |
