Opinion: I've loved this camera since I purchased it. The features were easy to use, manageable within the LCD panel at a touch of a button or slide of a wheel. Quality is superb for a 2.0MP. It's held up in the chills of Maine to the heat of the Dominican Republic.
Problems: Lenses attaching to the front, securing into the tripod screw are a little awkward, but otherwise no real complaints.
Opinion: An Excellent 2MP camera, always takes nice infocus photos, always sharp, and not much noise. The motors in it are very noisy, but thats just a minor detail. Nice size to work with, menu system is a bit slow, but buttons are well placed, and very reliable camera.
Still, of all the PAS cameras I have, its my favorites.
I've taken about 5000 photo's with it and its power switch is a bit "faulty" otherwise still going strong.
Problems: Eats batteries like there going out of fasion.
Lens cover is awful, and always falls off.
Opinion: I've never thought of buying a Kodak until I saw this one sold at a display price $87 (HK$680) in Hong Kong. I intended to give it to my children as a school work cam. But the trial shots were amazingly good. It reflects the true color, shoots indoor picture at night with very good light (even without flash). A macro trial shot in daynight is unbelievably good with attractive details. Image is generally sharp with an experineced photograpaher. The auto functions do an excellent job. Don't forget it is just only a 2 mega pixel thing! I would like to praise the desgin of buttons as well. They are placed in a very comfortable position. The plastic grip pad also helps the cam to sit steady and comfortably in your hand.
Problems: The start-up, display and change of menus are really slow. The AA batteries can't last long, of course. Don't try to use options other than auto because the options will give you unexpected results (may be I am just learning to use this new toy). But I forgive all these "problems" as with less than $100 I got a digicam with decent output.
Opinion: I've had this camera for almost 2 years now, and I've taken over 2,700 photos with it, and it's still going strong. The camera is easy to use, and is solidly built, although it is quite heavy compared to today's cameras. The image quality is outstanding, and the prints I have made from my photos look amazing...actually significantly sharper and richer than my film point and shoot. The 2 MP resolution is good for crisp, detailed 4x6 and 5x7 prints, and definitely good enough for 95% of 8x10 prints, especially if they're viewed behind glass. I don't connect the camera to the computer anymore, as I bought a flash card reader which makes image transfers take no time at all. The camera-> computer USB connection is a little slow, which is why I switched. I am contemplating getting a smaller, higher res camera, but I will likely hold off, as I have little to complain about witht his camera.
Problems: Power switch easily activated while putting camera away. A bit heavy and large for packing in your pocket for quick trips, but not too bad.
Opinion: This was my first digicam and I was very pleased with the performance. I tried photography in high school, but found found it expensive at that age due to film and developing, to really pursue it. I bought this camera to take photos of my jewelry for records of my work. It did a beautiful job! The macros were great for this level of camera. I found it extremely easy to use for a novice beginner and at really great price. This camera helped me learn a great deal more about photography. I think this makes for an excellent camera for a beginner. There are, of course, disadvantages, but that is true with anything. My father has this camera now and he loves it. He had an earlier Kodak and when I upgraded to a newer Nikon, I gave him my DC3400. He is very pleased with it.
Problems: To me the biggest problem was the lens cap. It falls off very easily. There is a better lens cap available for it, if you look around. I also found it to save a little slow at the higher resolutions, but I think that is to be expected for a camera at this price/age.
Opinion: Bought this camera about 2 years ago. It has served its purpose well. Have not used my fancy SLR film camera since I got this one! It takes a decent shot, lots of useful options and features for anyone wanting a camera for taking on holiday or taking pictures of your family. We have recently discovered what a great picture it takes in macro mode. Beautiful close ups. Good value for what you get. Great first digital camera. I have just passed mine on to my 11yo daughter because I'm after something fancier.
Problems: lens cover comes off when you remove the camera from its case.
Mine didn't come with a case or batteries. You definitely need rechargeables.
Opinion: Great picture quality.
Two years ago it was OK. Now are better ones.
Problems: Is to big and to heavy. Is not for traveling.
Downloading is a crap, is to slow.
Camera softaware is slow.
Opinion: I've used this camera for well over a year, and haven't had any troubles with it. The image quality is top-notch for a 2.1 mp camera, even better than some 3.3 mp cameras. I do have trouble connecting to the computer via the USB cable - I have to unplug and replug the cable in before it'll connect. Always make sure to carry extra batteries.
Opinion: Not very user friendly.
Problems: The camera turned on, worked fine at 7am; at 4pm it wouldn't turn on no matter what I did. Called Kodak and it will have to be repaired and will cost quite a bit.
