Good Camera, But it has a few drawbacks! [Posted on 2003-01-17]
I have really enjoyed my Kodak DC3400, but it does have some "issues". After about two or three months of use the battery cover broke, and it does not close totally securely. It does close, but one jolt, it pops open and out fall your batteries. I have to be especially careful to hold my hand over it while taking photos. It also makes the "battery low" icon pop up occasionally, which in the beginning cost me a lot of money in replacements. My husband did temporarily fix it, but it still isn't perfect. Anyway, that was the only physical drawback. Another issue I have is the battery life. I got smart and turned off the display while taking pictures, which significantly increases the battery life. You can easily find a model that is just as easy to operate, but has a battery charger to accompany it.
my first and only digital camera [Posted on 2003-06-02]
...this is a great camera for the beginner, someone new to digital cameras or an "average" user of cameras in general. even for a 2.1MP camera, it takes great shots. granted, i have nothing to compare it to! uploading photos is easy on winXP, but i couldn't do it on win98; i had to buy a flash card reader. PROS: affordable (now, anyway!), easy user interface, with a 64mb flashcard, you can take 103 high quality photos. 3X optical zoom is nice. CONS: heavy. image viewer is kinda hard to see; images are fuzzy. 2X digital zoom is useless. sucks batteries like crazy. get rechargables.
don't leave home without it! [Posted on 2003-08-04]
i have owned this camera for about 2 years and have taken thousands of photos with it. i take pics of everything, everywhere i go. pics of my 5 year old son and pics for work (we "trim-out" custom homes). i then download the pics, edit them, make photo groupings. email them to family. print them out and use them as scrapbook pages. i even have a "custom options catalog" to show customers and every photo was taken with this camera. i use the best setting, so i dont get many photos per disk, but i get great photos. and once i edit them with printmaster they still download in email within less than a minute-and that is with my standard 56K dialup connection. i have the 8MB card that came with the camera,plus a 32MB card that i carry for backup. it is so quick and easy that sometimes i take pics, download, edit, email, format the card and start over again in well under an hour. this is a great little easy to use, easy to carry camera that is Always with me!

Problems with this camera Kodak DC 3400 [Posted on 2006-11-11]
I use this camera in my line of work...so I probably take more pictures than the average person. It is a good camera...and may be the best for the hobby shooter. There are 2 flaws with this model...first one being the 'battery cover door'. They break easily...especially if you happen to put the batteries in backwards and try to force the door close as my grandkids attempted. The other problem is the 'flash'. I'm not sure if it is the flash strobe or the flash capacitor that goes bad....but either way...the flash stops working. At first it's only a missing flash here and there...then complete failure...which makes me believe it is the capacitor going bad. Other than these 2 problems....they are really tough camera and can take a lot of abuse ( drops of 3 to 4 feet )without any damage other than batteries popping out.
