Rating: Summary: Please don't waste your money............ Review: Please don't waste your money on this camera.It uses a set of batteries about every 5-10 pictures. The docking station is a joke as it only works part of the time and has never charged the camera. It has been back to Kodak but they didn't do anything but put in new batteries and send it back. The few pictures that it does take are good ones but it is not worth the hassle and PLEASE don't depend on this camera to record an important event because I can bet you will be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Great Camera Review: I was looking for a digital camera, that had good resolution and was an affordable price. Well after looking at many digital cameras, i decided to buy the Kodak Easyshare DX3700. The resolution is great, and it is easy to use. I like the TV hook up that it comes with, so you can view your pictures. The software is great. The only problem that I have had so far with the camera, is that the LCD screen shows doesnt show the picture at the complete clarity, however the picture is perfect when you look at it on the computer or TV. Overall, the Kodak DX3700 is a great digital camera.
Rating: Summary: Should have gone with Sony Review: Not much good to say about this camera. Complained to customer service with no resolution. Awkward styling. Eats batteries Camera dock dosen't charge batteries. Software lacking in features. Don't buy it!
Rating: Summary: Trouble Review: Things started out alright but the LED screen burnt out and then the camera stoped transferring pictures to the docking station. So far the camera has had more down time then up time.
Rating: Summary: No a/c adapter made for camera Review: After I bought this camera, I searched all over for the a/c adapter to save on batteries. Well they don't make one. I bought this to sell stuff on ebay, wanting to take alot of pictures at once. But the batteries soon die and I have to wait till they recharge. I had to go out and buy a battery recharger to have another set ready when one dies. The batteries last only a short time even being lithium. I wish I had taken it back. It also doesn't sit right on the dock and I have to keep fixing it and checking to be sure it is charging. It was easy to install and it does take very nice pictures, but all the other inconviences is not worth it.
Rating: Summary: Nice for the price Review: This is a nice camera for the price. 3.1MP and takes good pictures with some practice. Be sure you have a lot of light when taking indoor pics though. Also, there is no need at all for the docking station. The camera plugs right into any USB port and shows up as a drive on the computer. You can then just pull your images off without having to use Kodak's software. As far as recharging the batteries, I picked up some Ni-MH batteries and a portable charger ..., and I'm good to go. I'd also recommend getting an additional memory card.
Rating: Summary: Not bad for a point and shoot... Review: I bought the Kodak DX 3700 a few days ago for vacation. A few KMarts in our area are closing their doors, and all of their digital cameras, docks, and supplies were 40% off! I snapped up the camera and dock as quickly as I could. This being my first digital camera, I have to say I'm satisfied overall. The only thing I'll be using the camera for is basic point and shoot photography and maybe a little bit of photo manipulation and maybe a little emailing. The 3700 meets all of my needs, so I'm happy.I was dissapointed though with a few things... first the memory card. KMart was out of cards so I went to circuit city instead to buy one. I told the salesperson what model camera I had and he sold me the Compact Flash card instead of the MMC card. I arrived home excited to play with my new toy, and I had to drive 25 minutes back to the store to get a new memory card that was $25.00 more expensive! Annoying to say the least. Also, the dock I purchased was missing the rechargable batteries. That kind of [angered] me... But I figured since I got the dock for 40% off that I could spend the $$ I saved on batteries anyway. I called Kodak to inform them of the missing product and there was nothing they could do to help me. Some customer service they have! Also, the dock was the last one KMart had in stock and it was being sold as is simply because they were going out of buisness. So, I was kind of up a creek with this battery situation. In defense of the dock, however, I have to say that the one touch downloading is GREAT! I love the convenience. The software is decent... after working with programs like Photoshop, the Kodak software pales in comparison as far as options go. But for basic manipulation, it's not bad. Overall, I'm liking my new digital camera. At 40% off, it wasn't a bad deal at all considering I purchased the dock and camera for the total of the regularly priced camera itself. If I were to buy again, I might consider the 3900 to have the convenience of more options.
Rating: Summary: Junk! Review: I purchased this camera and within one week I returned it. The craftsmanship and quality of this camera is awful! Most people probably see the name "Kodak" and assume it is a good camera. The only think Kodak is good for is film. First of all, the batteries that came with the camera died after 45 minutes of use. I thought it was a fluke and purchased and fully charged the rechargeable batteries. In around the same 45 minutes the batteries died. The screen on the back of the camera displays an awful picture and the power button is so small you almost need a sharp fingernail to turn it on. The software that comes with it takes forever to download photos onto your PC and the quality is terrible. ...Man this camera gives meaning to "You get what you pay for". It is pure Junk!!
Rating: Summary: [Inexpensive] but Limited Digital Camara Review: I am new to digital photography and was wary of spending much for my first camara. Once I had a reasonably [inexpensive] digital camara for a while, I would know what features were useful for my next camara (and hopefully the future camara prices would fall to a reasonable level). The DX3700 seemed to fit my requirements for a first digital camara. It had a 3 Megapixal resolution, was relatively inexpensive, had received reasonable reviews for its picture quality, and was designed for a novice digital photographer. After playing with it for a while, I am somewhat disappointed. First, the features are more limited than I expected. In particular, there is no self timer feature. Second, the picture quality is what I consider mediocre. Third, the picture storage uses MMC/SD cards. These cards are not all that popular yet and much more difficult to find. This of course means the price is much higher for than for the more popular Compact Flash and SmartMedia cards. As a matter of fact the price is roughly 50% higher. After some research at the Kodak web site, only two of their camaras use MMC/SD. Most use compact flash. In summary: PROS: 1. Easy camara for the novice. 2. Relatively inexpensive. CONS: 1. Very limited features. 2. Mediocre picture quality. 3. Uses expensive MMC/SD which are more difficult to find. CONCLUSION: If I had known about the cons up front, I would have looked for a different camara.
Rating: Summary: easyuse Review: I think this camera if fun and easy for those of us who have kids and is not available to use the computer often enough to do the downloading and figuring out the software. My kids love me to use it, the 4 year old likes to see the pictures i take immediatly after. He is camera shy but allows me to use this so he can see,then he can just slip it on the camera dock and it is ready for the computer.
