I have a 340A.
The picture quality is good for most uses (blown up to fill my 17" screen you can see a lack of detail occasionally, but printed at 6x4 ish look better than film). Although it is a little slow to put the picture down onto the card, and very slow to switch between modes.
I like the fact that the movie mode takes a full minute at high res and 3 minutes! at low res, which is somewhat fantastical for what is still an entry-level 'proper' digital camera.
The LCD is suprising useful, but does leave little details out when lining up pictures (but for that drawback, I've still never eriously used the optical viewfinder) and it even means that when we went on holiday earlier this year we could leave my grandmother in the car listening to a tape, while we climbed a mountain or something, took some piccies, and then bring them back for her to look at straight away, which she enjoyed viewing on the way to the next Dartmoor beauty-spot O.o.
Hey, I bought the camera, a case, a 64Mb XD card (to go with the 16Mb one that came with the camera), a charged and 2 Ni-MH batteries for £130, which should have cost £260 - so I can't complain.
If anyone has some web storage that I could use I can upload some sample piccies if anyone wants to have a looksee, or I could sign up for a geocities account.
Dee,
Clever tactic, a malicious LurkerLounging of slashdot, that will learn them.
