Advantages: Great quality, good allrounder with excellent results.

Disadvantages: Surprised at no built in mic.

I bough the A340 off ebay for £45, complete with case, tripod, memory card and everything it came with as new - utter bargain!


I was upgrading from a Polaroid Izone 300 (but that's another story :-/), and found the different settings easy to navigate and was soon snapping away like nobody's business.

On a weeks holiday, the charge on my batteries lasted through 4 days of constant picture taking and I was very impressed.

The quality of the pictures is great, being very sharp and a vast improvement on my old camera. I too have never veered from the default settings and also do not bother with the software, I merely copy the files to my pc and arrange them from there.

The camera itself is nice looking and lightweight, the only thing I would say is that when I next upgrade I would want a built in mic, a better flash as it only really works well indoors if you're quite close to your subject, and a stronger optical zoom.
The macro feature is also very handy, having the 'one stop button' and takes some really clear detailed shots.


Anyone who has used a digital camera before would have no problems navigating the different features on this one without the use of a manual.

Summary: A great all-rounder available at bargain prices!
