The Concord 4340z is as easy to use, as it is fun and reliable. With a 4.2 Megapixel CCD sensor, the Concord 4340z takes high-resolution images and can print quality shots with a finished size of up to 11″ x 14″. Everyone from amateurs to more skilled photographers love using the in-camera interpolation to take larger sized images. The camera offers a total of 12X zoom (3X optical/4X digital zoom) to bring distant scenes closer, while its powerful macro mode enables close-up shots up to 3.9″/10 cm. The 4340z’s video mode provides video capture at QVGA resolution up to 24 frames per second, with sound playback on a PC. The camera offers a selectable long shutter mode up to 8 seconds for users who want to take beautiful night shots and artful pictures of moving lights. The camera includes a self-portrait mirror to make it easy for the photographer to take self portraits or be in the picture too.

This camera has loads of features expected to be found only on more expensive cameras. In addition to its optical zoom, it has a digital zoom. It is capable of short video segments with its internal memory and expandable by use of a memory card.The primary drawback to this camera is that it eats alkaline batteries like candy. I can get maybe 10 flash pictures before the “battery warning” message comes on. If the batteries are not changed quickly, the camera will initialize and then shut down. NiMH rechargeable batteries greatly extend the operating time–they’re an indispensable choice.
