Summary: Cutting Edge
Review: Despite complaints that this camera is a trap because it uses a storage medium that is unavailable(MMC cards), I specifically bought this camera because it uses MMC cards. While MMC cards are not the primary medium of storage in this country, they are the primary source of storage for these devices in Europe. In fact, most high end European devices using digital storage mediums use MMC cards. Yes, they are currently more expensive byte per byte than some other storage mediums but they are also significantly smaller.
They are also the fastest growing storage medium in this market.
I currently have a mp3 player, a digital camera and a motion activated security device that all use the same MMC storage technology. Figure about a buck per megabyte.
Kodak made a savvy move using the MMC storage medium. They are hoping to challenge current European/Japanese offerings by using a storage medium currently popular in Europe combined with a camera that takes superb pictures.
The "kicker" is the Kodak docking station. No matter how inept the computerphobe, once installed to a USB port, photo manipulation becomes as simple as dropping off 35mm film to a one hour developer. The docking station charges the battery while a single push of the button downloads the photos to the computer for manipulation, printing, emailing or whatever.
Kodak offers some truly impressive printing technology whether or not you use their cameras.
Controls are easy to use but like most digital technology, the number of control decisions offered are overwhelming unless one has a week or two to spend learning all of the potential permutations.
Unlike film formats, bad pictures from digital cameras can be erased by the push of a button with no more expense than the cost of the electricity to record. Why digital cameras (Including this Kodak) offer so many different photo modes when it is just as easy to take a ton of pictures that can be later manipulated on a computer still confuses me
Bottom line, the camera fits nicely into most hands- neither too big or too small, the controls are easy to understand and use, the camera takes great pictures and computer manipultation using the docking station is a breeze.
Downsides are the Kodak name which is typically connected with low end(read quality) camera products (unless one is in the medical industry where their products have no peers), the use of MMC cards which are more expensive than than comparable storage mediums, and the ever present debate that compares digital to 35mm film cameras.
If you get past these issues, you still might find that this is not a great but a pretty good camera for the money. The docking station pushes it over the edge for the computer challenged.

Summary: Awesome Camera for the Price!
Review: I did a lot of comparison shopping before eventually deciding on the DX3700. The price of this camera is awesome considering it is in the 3.1 MP range. I was a little worried about the new multi media cards being used compared to the most widely used compact flash cards. My fears were quickly subdued when I did a little reseach and noticed that alot of your highend cameras coming out now are switching to the new MMC cards. As for pricing on the new cards they are right in line with the compact flash cards. These prices came directly from Kodak's web site. A 16MB Compact Flash cost 25.99 compared to the new MMC at 26.99, also comparable were the 32MB cards with about a two dollar difference in price. I'm sure as more camera's begin using the new cards higher memory capacity will come out also. This camera was extremely easy to use, I was taking pictures about five minutes after I unpacked it. And the picture quality is unbelievable.

Summary: Lack Features, with problems
Review: First Kodak makes you buy a Dock. extra 80 bucks.
Although this camera does take good pictures when daylight is sufficient, this camera lacks features and with problems. No zoom. No timer. of course no video (which is ok) Here are some real problems:
1. this camera makes DARK pictures when there is not ample light. Yes, flash is on. Regular 35mm (even those made by Kodak) cameras can do much better than that. 2. Battery life is short. Do not trust the computer when it says battery life is good. You will run out after taking a few shots. If you gone to a day trip you must remember to turn it off everytime after you take a pic in order to last a few hours 3.Upload from the dock sometimes give mysterious I/O errors. Frustrating. You may have to try a couple times.

Summary: For the price, a quality camera
Review: Docking station: You don't need a docking station for this camera. We don't have one, and we still enjoy this camera. We use a regular wall-plug battery recharger that works just as well for the batteries. Save yourself the extra money, and just keep the USB cable on your desk--plugs right into the camera, and you can upload your pictures quickly. Picture quality: First rate. We print the photos out on photo-quality paper, and they look about as good as with a "regular" camera. Ease of operation: The camera is easy to use. There are a few downsides, though:
(1) On/Off and flash buttons are tiny for grownup fingers;
(2) Regardless of light, there is a 1 or 2 second delay from shutter release to actual picture being taken--if you are taking action pictures, this will be a hinderance;
(3) There is a short delay for every button you press (you never know if you need to press it again, or if the camera is just processing the request--you may need to press the On/Off button several times, for example, before it does what you want). Convenience: Uploading is easy. Taking pictures is easy. The included Kodak software also makes saving & sending the photos easy. Battery life: This is the weakest aspect of the camera. Instructions say you should get 300 pictures from the batteries. We don't, we get maybe half that. The quirky thing is, when you upload your pictures from the camera to your PC, a little message comes on the screen that says "Battery level is good," but the camera batteries die next time you take pictures. Overall: We got this camera to photograph our newborn and save/send relatives the photos as easily as possible. It has met that need, and exceeded our expectations of photo quality. Kodak just needs to make the buttons bigger and more responsive. Have extra batteries on hand or get a recharger, then you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Great Camera For EveryDay Users.......
Review: What I liked in this camera most, is the user-friendly functions, it's very easy to change settings and to Review your Albums while on the road, and the picture Quality is Super.
As for the memory I got me the 64 Mb MMC card which is more than enough if you are thinking of Sending emails " thats 200+ pic" and 92 pictures for the highest resolution " Equals 2* 36 films on the old cameras" as for the Cons: don't Repeat my mistake by not buying the Optional Easyshare Dock, because this Extra item will Help you Recharge the batteries that comes with the camera Box and they will live alot longer than the Standard AA Batteries " which Bring us to the Last part of the Cons": this baby Eats Batteries Like Popcorn, so make sure you got the Dock or atleast A Recharger For this Digital Camera...

Summary: Don't be deceived by looking to its price and Megapixels
Review: Kodak dx3700 camera sometimes results wonderful pictures but it is hard to understand whether the picture is as you want or not by viewing at LCD. Sometimes LCD display pictures clear, but as you transfer to PC, you become confused, they can be seen as blurred.
Its battery state viewer works wrong, don't trust it, your battery can run out suddenly.
Kodak Chargeable Batteries are not durable, with Duracell CRV3 battery you can take app. 250 pics, but with chargeable ones, only 50. In my country(Turkey), CRV3 type battery is not sold(an uncommon type of battery).
It is very fast to transfer pics to PC. aS soon as I connect my camera to PC, it begins transferring. Also picture software is useful, but I don't recommend you to use it because it reduces the image quality.
Another lacking property of DX3700 is that it does not provide high quality low resolution pictures. You have to change the sizes of pics by software. You are obliged to have only two choices, two resolutions.
Finally, I prefer dx3900 or dx4900 which have optical zoom and a lot of extra features.

Summary: Consider another camera. Please.
Review: Buying this camera was one of the worst purchases I ever made, but my failure to do my homework beforehand only makes this my fault. Some people will tell you that this is a moderately good beginner's camera, but I must state the contrary: This camera will leave even beginners frustrated. The DX3700 is slow in every sense of the word. You're forced to wait after every action on this camera-turning it on, switiching the mode, after taking a picture-if you plan on taking more than 1 picture every 15-20 seconds this camera isn't going to deliver. This slowness also directly influences... ...battery life. There is none. Of any device I've used, this one is the most power-hungry. Even rechargeable NiMH batteries last for only brief periods after which you're rudely interrupted with a blinking red light-and no forewarning of the impending power failure. Make sure you're ready to take the same picture twice. Every single picture taken on this camera is laced with a grain/noise/fuzz that will never go away no matter what you do. While snapshots and just everyday pictures may not yield too much noticeable noise, any kind of detailed shots-macros, notably-will look terrible. Almost none of the camera's settings can be changed. Focus, exposure, focal length, white balance, and anything else short of the flash type and macro mode (on or off) are automatic. Meaning? Make sure you're ready to take the same picture twice (or more, for that matter.) In short, don't buy this camera unless you want headaches and frustration. It's just not worth it.

Summary: Run, run like the wind, as far as you can get
Review: The battery life is extremely short. The first time around you might not notice it, but it gets progressively shorter until you can only take 3-7 pictures on batteries that read fully charge, the camera dock only seemed to make it worse. I sent it into Kodak, did everything they said and that didn't help either. It does take good enough pictures if you only want to take 3-7 pictures at a time. The Canon Powershot A60 is a much better camera. It takes great pictures and actually has as much battery life as you would need. (with rechargeable NiMh)

Summary: How Could Kodak Do This?
Review: I've owned my DX3700 3.1 megapixel for about a year and a half. I used the camera for the first six months or so and now I rarely do. As other reviewers have emphasized, the charged battery life, even with the Kodak rechargeable unit, is briefer than the attention span of a fly, especially if you use the flash. I cannot believe a company as prominent as Kodak could have brought this energy-anemic camera to market and apparently still dares to. If only I had checked reviews like these I could have saved myself much frustration. One stopgap suggestion: if you take pictures indoors, always have the recharging cradle nearby so you can recharge each time it runs down. Another criticism I have is the small size of the camera (which might be common among low end digitals) and the correspondingly small operating buttons, which would be perfect for tots or elves but for grownups, even for someone with small hands like mine, it's a challenge. Finally, if you load the software for Easyshare cradle on your computer, it slows down the loading time for your computer considerably. This is a lesson I have never learned: pay for quality the first time; it's more economical in the long run.

Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Review: A terrible product for several reasons: - As others have said, the battery does not hold a charge.
- It cannot be used outdoors; it over exposes every shot. Even when used indoors on a sunny day, the photos are a huge white glare.
- Close-up photos are completely out of focus. This was one of the worst purchases I've ever made!
