Howdy.'s review of Kodak DC3400

Good Points
Picture quality is outstanding. Easy menu to follow. Great for point and shot snapshots or get more creative with F-stop adjustments.

Bad Points
I'd like a hook on each side for a shoulder strap and the lens cover should be built in. Placement of batteries (+ or-) could be clearer.

General Comments
I love this Kodak DC3400 digital camera. It's few flaws have nothing to do with the bottom line which is "how good do the pictures look?"

And guess what----it's made in Japan, not China! I bought the lens kit from Kodak and it really helps on the wide angle/telephoto range. I'm begining to wonder if my Canon A-1 SLR will ever get used again this camera is so good. The trick will be finding one now.

Totally agree with this review. I'd add that the power switch at the back is a bit of a pain - it's easy to switch the camera on as you slide it into the case - the way round this is remember to switch the camera to connect before you put it away - that way you wont burn your lens motor out.
 
 A easier way of changing resolutions would be a bonus.
 
 The biggest plus is that it takes AA batteries. My friend with special batteries are stuck with special charges, £30 batteries which are no use in anything else and can't be easily bought. Get yourself some 1800 mah nimh batteries and you'll get 100 photos from each charge - this more than outweighs the size of the camera and most importantly the photo quality is fantastic.
 
 Perfection would be an SLR with such quality. but this is an excellent point and shoot camera which is well made in Japan.
