Kodak Easyshare M340 Reviews: Digital Compact Camera

+ Compact size, ease of use, raft of functions and good looks

- Feels a little flimsy/cheap, the roatating swtich for the functions on top has a tendancy to rotate onto the video function in your pocket or from the case

+ image quality very good: well built compact camera i am impressed at the quality vs price of the camera. This is my third codak camera and by far the best Im still exploring the features thank you.

+ Small and light. Great for holiday snapshots as I have just discovered (Just got back from the Dominican). Easy to use for a technophobe like me.

- 3 x times zoom a bit bit limited but as its just basically a snapshot camera/video camera, its fine

+ Easy to use.

- Not very good at taking ptctures at night - images become easily blurry. Very disappointing as bought it for trip to Rome.

+ Easy to use - good quality image

- Cannot use in the sunlight as the display screen has too much reflection

+ size, design and battery life

- you can't film little movies without the camera making a cliking noise that takes over any other sound
the battery compartment id loose and not very secure

+ Very easy to use with great quality photos

- Haven't found any as yet.

+ Excellent quality pictures during the day, though tried using at night time for pictures of fireworks using this feature and they weren't that good (this may just be down to me not reading the instruction manual properly before playing). Though normal night time photos came out great.

- There's some buzzing noise from inside, but this doesn't seem to cause any problems with taking pictures or the quality of photos or video. It can only be heard when you're in a realy quiet room.

+ easy to use,small, good price

+ very pleased with this camera..........

- no complaints

+ good quality camera as always from kodak

- still looking for them,,yet to spot one

+ So, far for the time I have had it, I have found it a user friendly model. I can see the view in the screen when focusing easily. It has quite a good zoom, though not as good as the Kodak V1253. Which stopped working and I recieved the very inferior V1273 as a replacement. The M340 is easier to use than the V1273. Which was hard to see the view in the screen and on several occassions I switched the camera off instead of taking a picture as the buttons were next to each other. The zoom on it was also dismal.

- I feel the turn dial for choice of picture taking, feels as if it could get knocked off or bent. It is also easy for the dial to move when putting it in and out of the bag. The 3 view stitch is a great idea, but I found it hard to make it work in reality. There was always a repeat of the last view which did not blend. It is still better to take three seperate pictures and then crop and stitch them on screen or in hard copy.
I can never remember which button is the review button.
The zoom is better than the V1273 but not as good as the V1253.
Over all I prefer it to the V1273 which just felt inferior to my previous V1253, which was great.

- Camera is slow. Face detection doesn't work properly. Have to use one setting for blurr reduction, so no use for the other settings really unless you want blurred pics. Veruy disappointed in this buy.
