| singleguy1974's Full Review: Concord Camera Eye-Q 3340z Digital Camera |
I recently got into the digital camera thing after putting it off for a while. I read up on it through magazines, websites, & online TV shows through Tech TV. I was looking for a 3 megapixel camera to start out with & learn how to use before later on buying something more expensive & advanced. I recently came across this digital camera at my local Brandsmart USA store on sale for $98.00. I read up on it through Epinions here & at the Concord website to get to know what I was going to buy. Have had the camera now for 2 weeks & I must say I am very impressed with it. For it not being a name brand digital camera it takes really great pictures & it's ease of use & easy menus make it a snap for anyone to understand how to use it.
The digital camera comes with an internal 16 MB or memory, but allows you to add a memory card if you need more memory for taking pictures. It also has 6 preset scene selections if you would rather have the camera do the fine tuning for you instead of doing it yourself. The menus I mentioned before are simple & easy to understand. I took the camera right out of the box set it up & started using it without even needing to read the instructions. So, that shows how simple it is to use & to understand. Also to my surprise for this camera being as cheap as it is it came with 4 rechargeable batteries & battery charger. The camera only needs 2 AA batteries, but they give you 4 rechargeable batteries. So, I was quite surprised by that. The manual open & close lens for the camera turns the camera on & off which is nice so you don't have another mini motor in your camera that can go wrong over time. The camera provides you with 3 time optical zoom & 4 time digital zoom. The camera also has a built in microphone which isn't the best, but allows you to record &your voice & picture like a mini movie to your digital camera. The software that comes with it is ArcSoft Photo Impression 2000.
So far from my 2 weeks of experience with this digital camera it serves it purpose for myself & anyone that wants a digital camera to take pictures on occasion. If you a heavy picture taker then you may want to spend the money on a brand name digital camera that is more advanced.
