Ik lees bij USB Workshop dat Kodak is begonnen met het leveren van haar nieuwe DC3400 Zoom 2.3 megapixel digitale camera. De camera gaat $499 dollar kosten en is vergelijkbaar met het oudere DC280 model.
De grootste verschillen met dat model zijn het verminderde stroomverbruik (de oudere Kodak camera's zijn berucht om hun enorme batterijconsumptie) en de fors lagere prijs:
Today, the photography giant Kodak starts shipping the new DC3400 Zoom at a suggested price of $499.
Kodak's latest offering closely resembles DC280 Zoom.
Both cameras' specifications are generally the same, featuring 2X optical zoom, 3X digital zoom and a 2.3 megapixel CCD lens. DC3400 Zoom comes with a 8MB card, same as DC280 Zoom. Despite of the resemblance, Kodak DC3400 Zoom has a "streamlined body, classic, sage green grips, a silvery green finish" and it is priced $200 less than DC280 Zoom.
Kodak claimed DC3400 Zoom improves on the battery life. And of course, the new camera connects via USB, as well as serial interface. In addition, DC3400 Zoom comes with Arc Soft PhotoImpressions 2000 software for easy photo retrievals and manipulations.
