I purchased the Koadk EasyShate C340 more than a year ago. Since purchasing it, our family has had loads of fun using it! The camera can hold SD cards so with a 2GB card in it, the amount of pictures that can be taken with it are endless! The camera also takes videos which is neat when you don't have the regular video camera around.

The camera has several photo taking options. There's the ability to set it to Auto where it adjusts itself regularly. But there's also portrait, movement, landscape, scenery and an option for close-ups. You can turn the flash off, set it to auto or set it to correct the red eye.

You're able to go all the way to 5.0 megapixels and you can change several of the settings in the camera, but I haven't messed with much of that. You can save your favorite pictures on it as well. There is also a timer so if you want to be in the photo, you have that option as well.

The only thing I don't like is the delay in taking the photo. You hold the button down just a bit for it to focus, take the picture and then you have to wait for it tom come up on the display and for the display to go away before you can take another picture. I haven't figured out how to turn the display feature off or to decrease the amount of time that it stays up.

The software that comes with the camera is alright, you can crop your pictures, change the lighting and a few other things, but if you have a slow computer, it takes forever for it to pull up.

Ours came with a docking station which we really like. You put it on there to charge and to tell it to get your pictures off the camera plus you can print your pictures out on the docking station if you want. The only bad thing is the ink goes quick, about 20 pictures and the cartridges are done.

Overall, I really like the camera and have recommended it to lots of other people. It's one I'd continue to buy over and over again!
