Battery life isn't the best

General Comments
I bought the Kodak EasyShare DX6340 in February 2004 after seeing that it was the best camera for the price (I paid £150) and even though you can now get it for around £90 (from ebuyer.com), I still feel as if I got my money's worth.



The picture quality is excellent - the images are all colourful and crisp. The range of settings on it are excellent - it has 6 preset photo modes for different conditions, as well as a PAS function and a movie mode.

The PAS function is what made the camera stand out to me - it enables you to pick a shutter speed from 1/2000 of a second to 4 seconds, and also to choose the aperture width. This is extremely useful if your aim is to take 'arty' photos, but the camera also takes snapshots excellently as well.



The camera's layout is well thought out - all the buttons are in the places you'd expect, and also there's the perfect amount of buttons for ultimate ease of use. The onscreen menus are easy to use. Also, unlike other electronic devices, the joystick for menu navigation is very accurate and easy to use - it is rubber tipped for grip.



I use only 2300mAh rechargeables and these only last about 5 minutes with the screen on, but the screen turns off and this way the batteries obviously last longer.

However, with the camera you get a lithium ion battery pack, and this lasted for a total of about an hour and a half altogether with the screen on with my camera, so the battery life which I stated above may be only with my rechargeables.
