Strengths: Simple, easy to use, good lens, simple interface with computer, quality pictures in various modes.
Weaknesses: None.
Summary: I've been hesitant to buy a digital camera. I'm hopelessly stuck in the primative period when 35mm film cameras were the norm. This little camera has exceeded all my expectations. Great for snapshots and for more "artistic" shots. I wish the wide end of the lens was wider but that is hardly a knock on the camera. I have not experienced a better digital camera in this price range. The docking station is a must.

Strengths: This Camera, is extremely easy to use, Im not a PC guru, but the ease of the software for this camera DLing on my XP system is remarkable, I have the docking station and think its worth its money
Weaknesses: I havent found any weaknesses, this is my 3rd Digital Camera and by far my favorite
Summary: I love this camera, I know there is cameras out there in the 5+ mega pixal, but Im amazed by the quality of my picture prints on my HP 6110xi, there as good as any 35 mm and the ease of tranfering my pics to PC and emailing or printing is absolutly incredible, its just ONE click away (which is good, cause Im terrible at locating pics to send) this cameras software makes it a SNAP, I love this camera, and I dont care if someone makes a 7.2 mega pixals Cheaper, Im not switching unless Kodak does it with a camera with the ease of this one cheaper. This is an amasing Camera, I bought it at Walmart for just under $250, I added the docking station (which recharges it) and a 256 mb card, and case. paid just under $450, was worth every penny. the Video with the 256 card is about 16 mins of video with Sound, or well over 200 high quality pitures. I love it. For me its the only Camera out there, and will be for a while, I highly suggest you take a LONG look at this one. Its worth it, WAY to GO KODAK

Strengths: Easy to Use, Great digital photos, great lens
Weaknesses: The battery door appears a bit flimsy but we have had no problems thus far.
Summary: My husband and I are professional digital photoghers and we teach a nationally acclaimed workshop series. We use three of these digital cameras as "loaner" digital cameras for our students. They have been very dependable, produce excellent digital photos and our students love the camera! Contrary to what has been written elsewhere,using an inexpensive ($10 to $15) chip reader these digital photos can be viewed and edited on ANY computer. Kodak finally has a winner with this digital camera!

Strengths: Simple to use in a short time, feels good, great pictures, great features!
Weaknesses: Would not connect directly to my Cannon i960 USB slot on the printer but no problem using Kodak "Easyshare" and Cannon software on the computer.
Summary: Wonderful camera, especially easy to access the multitude of features. The view screen is large and helpful menus appear. It came ready to use. I bought a carrying case also.
I originally shopped for the 6330 model which was sold out. This model sold for a little more but well worth it! The flash seems very powerful. It comes with a neat one-use battery; I bought 4 rechargeable AA batteries.
So far, it's just great!

Strengths: The Lens. This is the reason that I bought this camera after researching numerous others in this price range. The ease of use is great. The menu is very simple to follow. Great camera
Weaknesses: Although the battery door does feel flimsy, I have a two year old Kodak 1.3 meg and that door has never broken. I think the plastic is stronger than it feels.Software is poor.
Summary: I love this camera. The zoom works flawlessly and the pix, manual or auto are great. Best in price range. I have used Kodak service on prior camera w/o any problem. One year guarantee was a selling point. The display is clear and bright even outdoors. Flash is strong but throttles down for fill.
I dont use the software. Had too many problems. Use a card reader and several other viewers.

Strengths: I am not a professional photographer so I enjoy the ease of this camera. The joystick makes navigation easy. The various buttons are also easy to use.
Weaknesses: I have to agree with all other reviewers - the doors to the memory stick and to the battery are flimsy, especially the battery door.
Summary: I have thoroughly enjoyed my digital camera. The ability to instantly view and keep or delete pictures makes picture taking enjoyable for all involved. My family and friends often have a say in what pictures will be kept and which ones should be retaken. I also enjoy the ease of transferring the pictures from the camera to my computer via the docking station. The Easy Share software is also very user friendly. I operate on Windows XP and have had no problems transferring, viewing, editing and printing from this software. The software has been completely compatible with XP. For those who are looking for a user friendly camera to take mostly personal use pictures (i.e. vacations, reunions, graduations, etc..) I highly recommend this camera. One side note, I also bought a small picture printer (not Kodak) and have enjoyed travelling with both the camera and the printer. Being able to leave being pics is great!

Strengths: Simple to use. Takes great pictures. Battery lasted a long time. I love this camera!! It was exactly what I was looking for! Simple and it works great and great pics!!
Weaknesses: Weaknesses were actually mine, when I forgot to bring extra battery with me on vacation. Does not come with bag and other accessories
Summary: I love this digital camera!! It is so simple.Just point and click and you are able to take lots and lots of pictures, which is what I wanted . . . till you bump into the rare (for me) beautiful picture! and then later buy and keep only pics you love!! I just got back from Puerto Rico and I took picture after picture and got nearly all that I wanted. MY one problem was that because the battery lasted so long, I neglected to bring one with me. . . oops, so I did miss a few Kodak moments till we could get to the store to get a new battery (missed the iguana pic and a pic of the gecko :( ).
To wrap up if you want a camera that is simple and wonder ful . . . Buy this camera!

 Disappointing Quality and Customer Support Strengths: Nice pictures when camera worked.
Weaknesses: Poor camera quality and no customer service.
Summary: Camera was less than two years old therefore the one year warranty had expired. Paid $250 for camera alone and want $105 to repair which will then come with a 30 day warranty. The camera will not power up, worked one day and not the next day. Customer service put me through hoops purchasing several different types of batteries. Company offered to provide a remanufactured camera for $199, this camera retails for $235 new. Do not buy a Kodak camera!!! They are meant as disposable cameras not built to last.

Strengths: Excellent print quality, excellent color, easy to use control. Excellent Schneider LENS.
Weaknesses: Plastic battery compartment cover seems fragile, but no problems so far.
Summary: This is my 3rd digital camera, and so far the best. Just like with a film camera, the LENS is critical, this one is a beauty - Schneider - a name of quality for decades. The Optical zoom is 4x, better than most. The color reproduction in excellent on Sony, Fuji and Kodak printers (professional). Rechargable battery comes with the docking station. Runs on Windows for sure, all versions after 98. JPEG format is key for interoperability. This camera has put my Nikon 35mm in the closet for travel, family and spontaneous shots. You should read the manual and learn to use the proper modes for the picture you are taking.... I love this camera, and again the Lens seems to be the most important component. The software is also good, even allows you to burn your own CDs and also allows you to easily import your Kodak Photo CDs from your 35 and APS cameras, could not ask for more.

Strengths: The 4x optical zoom is the best available at this price range. Extremely easy to use, excellent foto quality and the different modes for taking pictures are really great.
Weaknesses: The little lid where you put the battery is extremely hard to close. I almost broke it the first time.
Summary: I considered the sony DSC-p72 and the Canon A70 before buying this one and I am very happy with my desicion. The Image quality is nice for a camera in this price range and the lens is the best available (in this range). 4x optical zoom is Great. For people new to digital photografy, this camera is extremely easy to use as it has a little joystick which makes it easy to navigate between menu's and preview pictures. Definitely a great buy ( i got it for $300 + shipping).

Strengths: EasyShare dock upgrade, quality pictures, easy to use and affordable.
Weaknesses: The only weaknesses I can think of are the flimsy doors for the battery and for the memory card, but they have held up and I doubt they'll give me any trouble.
Summary: This is my first digital camera and I haven't really had any digi cam background except for my friend's canon a70? It is the same price as the Kodak but I much prefer the DX6430, seems like a better quality unit. The pictures are clear, the different camera modes are easy to use, and I love taking pictures with it.
Perhaps I went over board since the only reason I bought the camera is to take pictures at my college parties but if you're going to pay for a digi cam you might as well get a good one to last.
I highly recommend the printer dock because it recharges and transfers the pictures to you computer, as well as prints 4x6 pictures with great quality. I highly recomend this camera to anyone looking for a new digital camera.

Strengths: loaded with features, transfer to PC a snap!, variety of batteries that can be used, excellent lens reputation, excellent quality of photos. Diopter adj. on viewfinder a
plus for glasses users.
Weaknesses: Joystick difficult to use ; made for dainty fingers, and takes some getiing used to; Not much different from other small devices.
Summary: 2004-12-10 09:32:34 This is follow-up to earlier eval. I like this camera, with the exception of the joystick control. The shutter button is extra sensitiveand I often I take pictures while trying to perfom joystick functions. Downloads go direct to "My Pictures" folder in Wxp although remaining in Easyshare folder until closing program. No other transfer required; NICE!
I like the distinct shutter click! Less shutter delay than other cameras. Toggling through menus is somewhat awkward with big fingers. Ladies with long nails might have a problem. Nothing new here!
Software sometimes fails to tranfer pictures on first try; maybe a matter of battery life.
Photographs are good quality. Some color adjustment may be needed. Excellent buy, and prices are falling!

Strengths: Ease of use, large LCD display, zoom lens, 3+ Mega Pixels, price, size - compact for use on vacation without feeling like you're toting extra luggage.
Weaknesses: Some night pictures haven't come out too great using the auto program modes.
Summary: My husband and I borrowed a canon 3mp camera on vacation and knew we wanted a digital camera. I searched the internet for months comparing all the features of various cameras. There were so many options out there it became overwhelming. Finally, we decided on 4 different cameras and went to look at them at Best Buy. The kodak DX6340 wasn't on our original list. After picking it up, liking it's feel and ease of use we were leaning towards it. We wanted to stay around $300 and get a 3mp camera. In the end we paid $329, which included the camera and the 6000 docking station through ebay. We love it, it's easier to get around in than the cannon and if we take a bad picture you can always delete it and get another! I would recomend this camera for anyone starting out or people who use the automatic program modes. I can't say I've really tested the manual features because I need to read up on that a little more and it's so easy to use the pre-program modes. The movie feature works well too with audio. We used the provided battery for close to 2 weeks, took just over 100 pictures and reviewed each one(with a 128MB card),one short video and didn't run out of battery. Since, we've got a rechargeable battery that recharges in the docking station (or a battery charger) and shouldn't have to even worry about battery life, which is always talked about in reviews.
