Kodak was not one of the brands I thought I'd never purchase, however after downloading many purchaser reviews of cameras within the same price range I ended up with about 122 pages of reviews/opinions etc.
I ended up with a selection of 3. They were the Pentax Optio 330GS, Sony Cybershot and the Kodak DX6340.
The Kodak blitz the others with its looks, features including video with audio (I use my new JVC DVCam),
4X Optical Zoom, metal trimmings, proffessional Schneider Kreuznach Lens, 16MB Internal Memory (I also use my JVC DV Cam 8mb SD card in the Kodak which was a bonus), Easyshare camera dock(purchased seperately). Took some outdoor shots. Great photos. Macro shots are impressive. Magnify 2x & 4x Feature with scrolling is fantastic, Menus very easy to use. Overall a definate must for a beginner or someone who wants to point and shoot and doesnt need anything highly scientific. 3.1mp is enough for general photo printing. Easy Share Dock is fantastic, makes downloading to computer childs play.
Problems:
Nothing that should deter you from purchasing unless your to picky.
1) No camera case
2) Auto focusing on internal shots can be irretating unless flash is activated, but Ive heard that this is typical with digital camers.
3) Purchase larger memory card
