Kodak's 2003 enthusiast-lite compact — 3.1MP CCD, Schneider 4x 36-144mm-equiv f/2.2 zoom, PASM-style modes.
The EasyShare DX6340 was a 3.1-megapixel compact that Kodak debuted in May 2003 at $329, sitting in the enthusiast-leaning DX6000 series below the DX6490 bridge model, unusual among EasyShares for offering real creative control alongside the brand's trademark simplicity.
It mounts a Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 4x zoom covering 36-144mm equivalent with a bright f/2.2 maximum aperture, ahead of a 3.1-megapixel CCD delivering 2032x1524-pixel images. Beyond full auto it offers aperture- and shutter-priority plus scene modes, records video with audio, and frames on a 1.8in LCD. Storage is 16MB internal plus SD/MMC, and power comes from a CR-V3 lithium pack or equivalent.
The manual exposure modes and sharp Schneider glass make this one of the more interesting cheap Kodaks for learners and period-digicam hobbyists. Three megapixels caps print sizes, and by modern standards startup and autofocus feel glacial, but daylight output has the classic early-CCD colour.
Check power first: it shipped on CR-V3 lithium packs, so verify what the seller includes and budget for rechargeable CR-V3s. Use plain SD or MMC cards (pre-SDHC), inspect the mode dial for wear, and run the zoom through its full 4x travel to check for motor hesitation.
