Product Description
Snap a picture with the Kodak EasyShare DX6340 and you'll be impressed at how easy it is to capture vivid imagery and memories that will last a lifetime. The EasyShare DX6340 features a 3.1-megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom, large 1.8-inch LCD monitor and Kodak's exclusive on-camera Share button. Transferring photos to your PC and sharing them is even easier with the optional EasyShare Dock 6000 and Printer Dock 6000.
The EasyShare DX6340 delivers a fast click-to-capture performance and focuses easily in low-light conditions. It features a professional-quality Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon lens that offers a 4x optical zoom and 3.5x digital zoom (for a 14x total). With its 3.1-megapixel resolution (2,032 x 1,524 pixels), you'll be able to make print enlargements up to 11 by 14 inches. In addition to taking still photos, the EasyShare DX6340 is capable of recording continuous video with audio.
Preview your shots with more brightness and clarity with the EasyShare DX6340's 1.8-inch indoor-outdoor display, which is viewable even in direct sunlight. The Share button on the back of the EasyShare DX6340 enables you to tag pictures right on the camera for automatic printing or e-mailing, after transferring to your PC. You can even store up to 32 e-mail addresses in the camera. Other features include a selectable aperture priority, shutter priority and exposure compensation as well as options for ISO, colour and white balance. The Built-in flash has red-eye reduction, auto, fill and off modes.
The Kodak EasyShare Dock 6000 includes a USB port for fast and easy transfer of pictures from camera to computer, and offers a two-position tilt feature for improved viewing of images from the camera's LCD. It also comes with a rechargeable battery pack, and the Kodak DX6340 can be placed in the dock any time so that it will always be charged and ready to go. In addition to the transfer and battery-charge features of the Dock 6000, the Printer Dock 6000 adds the ability to print 4-by-6-inch photos directly from your camera. You can also hook it up to your TV for a slide-show presentation.
Images are stored on either the 16 MB internal memory or on an optional Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMediaCard (MMC) memory card. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.
The camera is powered by a CR-V3 lithium battery (included; rechargeable batteries are recommended). It measures 4.3 by 2.5 by 1.5 inches and weighs 7.8 ounces.

I have put off getting a digital camera until now to give them a chance to settle in price and get the standards right.
The Kodak DX6340 is comfortable in the hand ( unlike smaller models ) but is not excessively big. The camera itself feels like a camera and not just a bit of cheap plastic.
Taking pictures can be simplicity itself with the "Auto" mode or refined to your needs with the "PAS" mode ( yet to be explored ). With the "Auto" mode you are up and running in minutes.
Recommend getting a decent memory card and some rechargable batteries ( the battery supplied is good for approx. 100 pics - allegedly ) I got a 128Mb SD card which the camera reckons it can store approx 135 highest res ( 3.1MPix ) pictures.
The software is easy to load and use with some basic functions like getting rid of red eye ( additionally there is a red eye flash mode on the camera ). Transfers are quick and easy. USB connecting cable comes with the camera so simply load software, plug in cable followed by camera and transfer those images.
Drawbacks:-
Battery - need to get a charger and rechargables.
Memory - 16Mb on-board, so will take several good quality pics. But recommend getting some MMC or SD memory to boost the cameras ability. 128Mb gives approx 135 pics ( 3.1Mp ) or approx 10mins video with sound.
Camera Case - Shame this is not included in the package. You get a wrist strap but this will not guard against accidental knocks and scrapes.
Decided not to get the optional docking station - seemed a lot of money for a glorified battery pack. True, the USB cable is connected to the docking station and you simply put the camera on the dock and away you go, but it is no hardship to connect the cable to the camera itself and turn it on.
All in all, a good camera with excellent picture quality.

Consistently high quality pictures with predictable results. High colour fidelity and crisp focus every time.
Preset scene modes are particularly useful (eg sport, landscape, closeup), producing good results and includes basic manual controls for advanced user (exposure compensation, appeture/shutter priority).
4x optical zoom combined with the manual settings mode gives you plenty opportunity to be creative. Of note is the 4 second shutter speed option: although you can't re-expose a taken picture, you can superimpose two nearby scenes, or blur a chosen image very easily. Photographs sunsets very well using slow shutter speed (manual mode); though I personally have had little success photographing a stars.
Video mode is a good novelty bonus. Don't have too high expectations of it though; it's good for some simple fun but you'll want a dedicated video camera for anything serious.
16 MB of storage serves adequately - you get 1.5 mins video, or 16-20 pictures at best quality and 40-50 at lowest quality setting. With a memory upgrade (SD card and MMC compatible) you can store up to 23 minutes video, or 260 pictures at best quality and 700 at lowest (these figures are from personal experience using 256MB SD card).
Interface is very easy to use and navigate; it is responsive and intuitive with an attractive colour scheme and quite large (1.8") display. Casing is well designed with convenient finger grooves and grip points.
3.1Mp gives very high resolution - I get crisp images even when pictures are cropped (using software) and then stretched to fill my 16" display at 1280x1024 resolution. Fantastic results when printed to 6x4 7x5 and 9x6. Manufacturer claims good results on 14x11 prints as well; I've never tried this but I believe it's very probably true.
Takes rechargeable batteries (big points in my book - glad to see manufacturers are now thinking of these things). Goes for AGES with my high capacity 1800mAh AA cells (approx 400 pictures using lcd display as viewfinder).
Trivial points:
Data transfers quickly to pc -approx 15 secs for full 16MB.
Black and white and sepia modes are realistic and believable.
Really nice brushed steel (I think) finish.
Summary:
An excellent quality camera at an excellent price for for the low-medium skill amateur.

I had been looking for a quality digital camera for a sensible price for some time and after purchasing the Kodak CX4230 as a present for someone I had been impressed by the Kodak’s ease of use and the quality of the pictures although it was only a 2MP camera. Therefore I decided to buy a Kodak although wanted a higher spec camera, this is it! The one feature that attracted me to this camera in particular was the 4x optical zoom more than any other camera in this price bracket most usually with 3x optical zoom. I felt that optical zoom is important because it does not lower the quality of the picture like digital zoom. The camera is well built and designed giving superb quality photographs. By far the best feature of this camera is the ability to allow photographs to be taken so easily without any hassle on the ‘Auto’ mode where you just simply point and shoot yet if you wish to, there are so many features that can be adjusted for the more adventures photographer giving the camera the ability to be used well by all abilities. I also would like to point out that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the video’s that can be taken by this camera and the slightly larger than normal LCD screen makes life much easier. Only a couple of negatives for this camera are that like all digital cameras it eats batteries and only comes supplied with a non-reachable battery! To get the most out of this camera we have purchased a 128mb secure digital memory card allowing approximately 135 pictures to be stored on the memory card alone taken on the best (3.1MP) quality. Also we have purchased 4 high power (2100 mAh) rechargeable batteries and a charger to give long battery life. Although these extras may seem expensive at first trust me they are well worth it especially the batteries because normal AA batteries can last about 5 mins! The camera is also supplied with some very good software that is very easy to use. All in all a very, very good camera and well worth the comparably cheap price tag.
