Shopping for the Palm Pre

It has been over a year since Palm released the Palm Pre. At that time all the tech reviewers were joking that the Palm Pre was the pre-bankruptcy release for Palm. Well, Palm has not gone into bankruptcy. Three of the four major cell phone carriers offer the Palm Pre. In call seriousness the Palm cell phone is different than the Blackberry, or the many smart phones that use the Android operati...

Since then there has been several of money management programs to come on the market and many of them leave. Then in 2005, Aaron Patzer sai...

Clear Expectation of Service

Several years ago, I worked briefly at this computer store. The owner would change the terms of service at least once a week, if not more. When I left there the Terms of Service was very fine print on the back of every receipt. The receipt was printed on an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. This is nothing unusual. Every business has literature that states where their responsibly starts and where ...

32 Inch LCD Recon

I love sitting around coffee shops, and lounge area. What I over hear is so amazing. Just the other day this guy asked a friend, "Where was the best place to get a LCD TV?" The friend answered quick, "Fred Meyer, they have the best prices." I was so tempted to lean over and ask what empirical data he was making statement. Instead I bit my tongue. Without any ceremony, I got up and walked t...

Mattress Recon – Intro

Next to marriage and underwear the mattress you sleep on is the next personal thing in your life. It has been my experience that what on individual sleeps well on is another individuals restless nights sleep. So when asked to help buy as mattress, I had to start with the basics. The number of different types of mattresses far exceeds the three Goldilocks came across in the three bears cottage. ...

Anyone in business will tell you that knowledge and time management is a crucial factor to success. Traveling to an appointment, or waiting in a doctors office can be put to good use.

Camera Recon – Kodak M341

Posted By: Craig Ballhagen on April 29, 2010 in Photography - Comments: Comments Off

Kodak has done an okay job in the transitioned from film to digital cameras. It is hard to go from one day being an household name and industry leader to just one of the players. I believe they have this job well.

Now the Kodak EasyShare M341 is Kodak’s offering to the Point-and-Shoot category of cameras. Starting with the 12 Mega pixels going to the built in flash makes this camera look like a keeper. It does take decent picture from 2 to 11 feet away from the subject. The zoom lens goes from 35 to105 mm from the 3x optical lens.

The ability to capture video clips in 640 x 480, and 320 x 240 in the Quick Time format is nice. Then you add a low end microphone. Now you can capture and upload those spontaneous videos to YouTube that we all enjoy.

A SD memory card, USB cable and Kodak’s own software makes it easy for the non-photographer capture and edit pictures.

Reviews at Znet.com say, “Kodak’s 12-megapixel EasyShare M381 is a good low-priced point-and-shoot camera for anyone who doesn’t want to fuss with a lot of controls.” However, they don’t rate is much over 6 out of 10. OurCameraReviews.com liked the M341′s auto adjusting features. BizRate.com was giving this camera a 3 to 4 star rating out of 5.

Now I want to remind you that that the Kodak EasyShare M341 is not meant for the amateur photographer, and is a step above the Disney Hannah Montana camera.

Can be picked up anywhere from $100 to $150.

Bottom-line: This is one camera I was seriously questioning about putting in The Shopping Nazi Store. I did because this is a good point and shoot camera for the person who does not want to think about taking pictures.

The Kodak EasyShare M341 is one of those low end point and shoot camera worth looking at for the occasional picture.
