Amazon.com Product Description
The Kodak DC3400 was created to take the place of the DC280, one of Amazon.com's top-selling digital cameras of all time. Essentially, Kodak faithfully kept all of what made the DC280 such a great camera--2.1-megapixel images, 2x optical zoom, and ease of use--and placed it in a new body with a more traditional shape. The DC3400 has enjoyed some great reviews from publications, which cite Kodak's trademark color saturation, the easy-to-use menu system, and its resemblance to the popular DC280. The EZ Bundle includes a 32 MB picture card, a Kodak charger, and NiMH batteries.

The 2.1-megapixel CCD captures images at resolutions of 1,760 x 1,168 or 896 x 592 pixels. At both resolutions, Kodak offers three levels of JPEG compression to choose from. Files are saved to the included 10 MB CompactFlash card. The built-in flash features auto, off, fill, and red-eye reduction modes.

Kodak was aiming for the middle of the consumer market with the DC3400. Essentially a point-and-shoot camera, the DC3400 features a degree of customization not normally found in point-and-shoots. Exposure compensation (EV) can be adjusted in increments of 0.5 EV, from +2 to -2 EV. You can select center-weighted or multipattern metering. Multipattern metering takes samples from the entire frame and averages the light values. You can adjust image sharpness to one of three presets: sharp, standard, and soft. Also, white balance can be set to auto, daylight, fluorescent, or tungsten.

The 2x zoom of the DC3400 is perhaps its weakest point, but even that can be overcome--if you don't mind the decrease in resolution required when you use the 3x digital zoom. All in all, the DC3400 is a good choice if you're looking for a point-and-shoot digital camera with good image quality, saturated color, and a certain level of customization.

5 out of 5 stars Love this camera!.......2006-12-29

I've used this camera for almost five years now. Dropped it once, over six feet down-it split open, came apart. I bought a set of jewelers screw drivers and put it all back together. It has worked wonderful since then! Fantastic, clear pictures. Even on the brightest days, photos of skies or water are crystal clear. Not grainy--ever. Good in low light also. Clear focus. I truly love this camera.

5 out of 5 stars if I can, U can!.......2002-08-29

i went to a high school with 1 TRS 80 computer for the entire school to use, so i was not in the comp generation.
i love this camera. easy to use. looks great. nice feel. incredible picture quality. i love to pull it out at snap away at family and public events. and if anyone has forgotten their camera i offer to email photos to friends or strangers. everyone who sees it "ooohs" & "ahhhs". i feel like such a high tech member of society :)

5 out of 5 stars 5 Stars Are NOT Enough!.......2002-04-29

This camera produces better quality pictures than any other 2m around, probably due to better optics. Kodak has produced a real winner.

4 out of 5 stars Great Camera!.......2001-03-19

The Kodak is really a great deal. The pictures are fantastic considering all I ever do is point and shoot. If I'm taking pictures indoors or out all I get are sharp focused pics. It tics me off that the trend is sending these cameras out with 8 meg cards....but it seems all the manufacturers are doing it. So the 3 things I would strongly recommend on your initial purpose is a larger storage card, battery charger kit..... and, although not an absolute nescessity I would order a card reader. The reason I suggest the latter is due in part to the cable hookup from the camera to the computer. Unlike my Nikon 990 which is so easy to connect the Kodak is quite a task and everytime I hook it up to the camera I fear I'm going to crush the pins in the camera. So to avoid it I strongly recommend getting the card reader shoe.
