Introduction: Apparently, an upgrade to its predecessor M320, the Kodak EASYSHARE M340 is an affordable camera with decent specifications and good performance that is making it stand in good stead with the consumers. Equipped with clear LCD display, shockingly slim body and a bevy of other interesting features, this camera tries to compete with the other entry-level cameras but fails hopelessly in certain aspects. Its shiny finish and availability in a multitude of glossy colors will definitely make your heart flutter and you might even fall in love with it at the first sight!

Features:  As the M340 comes equipped with 16 MB internal memory and SD/SDHC card compatibility, it is unlikely that you will run out of your memory space for pictures. This little camera can manage ISO sensitivities up to 1600 to deliver better pictures even in dim environments. The Kodak Perfect Touch Technology helps you remove the darkened areas of the picture and make them look more cheerful and lively than before. With a single push of the button upload your videos and photos to the Kodak Gallery online or to the other social networking sites like YouTube.

Pros:

• The 10.2 megapixels resolution gives you enough chance to crop & trim the pictures and get prints of 30x40 in. done effortlessly.
• The 3x optical zoom works with the KODAK AF Optical Aspheric Lens to render images of great detail and crispness.
• Create Slide shows, edit pictures, and tag them with titles and sounds –all this can be done with the Kodak EASYSHARE software that comes bundled with this camera. 

Cons:

• The absence of optical image stabilization does show its negative affects on the ultimate product forcing you to carry a tripod wherever you go.
• Some of the features like Auto Focus take too much time to begin and thus considerably slow down the overall functioning of the camera.
• The plastic body of the camera looks flimsy and might not survive a fall or two.
• There is no A/V cable output for this camera and even the mode dial confuses you a great deal.

Pricing Range: Buy this camera for just 110$-149$ in Red, Blue, Green & Silver!

Final Verdict: With the Kodak EASYSHARE M340 camera, you will get down to the rudimentary shooting sans any oomph or wow factor. The quality of its pictures might not make your head rivet in wonder; but then, they are pretty good for any entry-level camera. Know the odds before you put your money into this camera and we promise you’ll never be disappointed. Share your memories today!
