Rating: - A wonderful camera for a budding photographer or just the average joe...
I bought this camera in 2005. It was the first digital camera I ever bought, or had really even used up to that point. I'm still using it to this day, matter of fact. It takes beautiful, rich colored pictures with no delay or lag. The settings are easy to use, and though most will find the auto feature to be more than enough for great shots, having all the day, night, beach, snow and other scene features has been awesome for adding a little something extra to my pics.

I take it with me everywhere. It may be a little thicker and heavier than most new modeled cameras, but it's still easy to tuck away in a purse. The camera has been used primary for taking pics and videos of my youth students...and has gone through everything from the grimy hands of 14-year olds grabbing it constantly, to being dropped in sand and the ocean. Never once has it stopped working! It takes great videos with great sound quality, and unlike some digitals, it takes as much video as you have the memory for...no 30-second time cap!

I highly recommend this for anyone who wants high-quality in a simplistic package. Especially when you look at the cheap prices you can find this camera for these days, it's definitely a top contender in my book.

Rating: - Nice, but too large for my hand
This camera was nice and took great pictures, but it was simply too large for my hand. I have arthritis and the size and weight were too much for me. The seller was terrific and refunded my purchase price and shipping costs immediately.

Rating: - great value!
It's been great--nice resolution on both pictures and movies. Very versatile and adjusts well to may different conditions. Cuts down on red-eye very well--not 100%, of course, but pretty close. Sound quality on (quicktime format) movies is good. Simple enough that our 4-year old can operate it, but advanced enough to permit me to create video presentations for my high school students (after uploading movies to a Mac and using iMovie to edit...).
Good shutter speed and reaction time as well.

Rating: - fabulous product, horrid company
I have enjoyed this camera very much. You have the flexibility of letting the "auto" function take over, so it becomes a very nice point-and-shoot camera. Alternately, you can select a pre-designed setting such as Museum, Landscape, Snow Scene, etc. in which several settings are preset, making a quick adjustment to changing circumstances very easy. Finally, if you are a total fussbudget, you can set up your own fstops and stuff. You can screw it onto a tripod and set up your own shutter and "film speed" setting and get very artsy-fartsy. The only major drawback to the quality of the pictures is endemic to most digital cameras of this calibre - no depth of field. Very flat photos. Which, by the way, works great with large landscape photos and somewhat intimate people photos, like parties.

HOWEVER, and this is a biggie, as soon as I experienced a MINOR mechanical issue (the retractable lens cover is not fully retracting any more) I hit the repair wall - NO ONE will touch this with a 10-foot pole. I can send it to Kodak, or even a few online professional services, for a prohibitive charge. It would be cheaper to discard this one and buy another. The environmentalist in me is horrified that in order to be cost effective, I have to throw away this perfectly fine camera simply due to a very minor mechanical issue.

Bottom line - look at your repair options BEFORE committing to this or any other brand.

Rating: - kodak easy share camera
Disappointed in condition. No memory stick or manual or instructions came with camera. Had to print owner's operating manual, all 46 pages, to learn how to use camera. Have had no success taking photos. Will not buy another electronic device from Amazon.Kodak EasyShare C340 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
