Rating: Summary: Seems Super, Another masterpiece Review: Kodak has done it again. This super Camera offers many quality features you can trust upon. For me, the dock is utterly irrelevant. You can transfer pics equally well without it. Super thing! CONGRATULATIONS! KODAK AND AMAZON
Rating: Summary: Kodak DX3600 Digital Camera Review: Wow!!! What a nice camera. This is definitely a camera made for a man. I was able to use the camera without reading any of the directions.(I eventually did read them). The lithium battery that came with the Camera are still going strong. Also the recordable .mov movies that you can create and share over the internet are great. But they do take up a good chunk of memory. The only down side is having to ...spend the moneyfor the docking bay. You can't recharge the batteries without it. Overall: good work Kodak, you made me a loyal buyer.
Rating: Summary: One of the best cameras under $[money]! Review: I've used this camera for about 8 months and very pleased with it. If you buy the dock, it keeps the camera charged 24/7 and comes with a one-touch transfer feature for beginners. It's great that you don't have a time limit when recording video! Even most of the expensive brands have a 5 to 60 second time limit...but DX3600 will keep recording as long as you have free space in your multimedia card. Good sound quality during playback and looks good even on bigscreen TV. PROS: Cool design. Good 2.2 MP pics. Unlimited video recording. Decent optical (70mm)and digital zoom. 1 touch photo transfer. Fully automatic operation. AV (both PAL/NTSC)out. USB out. CONS: Can't use zoom or flash when recording video.
Rating: Summary: very nice for the money Review: I bought this camera with the docking station and I LOVE using it! I had my digital pictures processed using Ofoto and they turned out better than regular film processing. I had indoor and outdoor pictures processed and they both turned out marvelous. The camera is easy to use. Definitely purchase a memory card with this. I just wish the zoom worked on the LCD screen instead of just in the viewfinder. I keep it on the docking station when I am not using it and I have never had a problem with the batteries running out of power.
Rating: Summary: Kodak DX3600 Review: This is a nice camera with very good features for the price, however there seems to be a very long delay in the picture taking process. If the subject is moving at any speed at all, it usually is out of the view finder by the time the picture is recorded, unless you try and follow it like a video cam. Another problem has been the on/off switch. At least 50% of the time the camera will not turn on, and on some occasions turns off before the timer feature is activated and will not turn on again. This appears to be a fault with this unit and not a funtion of the camera in general. I have read others have had the same problem, which leads to a suspect quality control issue with Kodak. I will return this camera and try another unit, because I do like the features, however the long term sevice contract may be something to consider for the Kodaks at the time of purchase.
Rating: Summary: Camera is great when it works..On/Off does not function well Review: This camera would rate a 5 when in working condition. The pictures are clear and it is very easy to use. However, I had to return the camera 2 times for having the same on/off switch problem (I will be buying a different model after the 2nd return)...Problem is that it does not consistantly turn on when you turn on the on/off shutter..A red blinking light comes on and the camera does not turn on....I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem...
Rating: Summary: Excellent camera and inexpensive to boot Review: Did research on digitals before purchasing. I'm only an average user that didn't need too many bells and whistles, mainly wanted one to take pictures at my beach wedding, etc. This camera got good reviews every site I went to. So I went out and purchased the camera, got it home, and was up and running with it instantly. The software was easy to setup and gave me no prob's on a 200mhz celeron with 64mb, and with just the USB cable-the transfer from camera to computer was still easy. I was totally impressed. I've also read about short battery life. I did buy NiMH batteries and a quick charger, but haven't had to use them yet.....the one-time Nicad's that came with the camera have been going strong for the last 5 days...and believe me, i'm putting the camera thru it's paces...this is a new toy to me, and I've taken well over 400 pic's of everything and anything to test the quality. The picture quality is excellent, the camera is easy to use as well as the accompanying software. This camera is a total deal and I am very happy with this purchase.
Rating: Summary: DX3600 Easy to use Review: Out of the box, 10 minutes to load the battery and software, and I was taking pictures. I wanted a point and shoot that was easy. Kodac did just that, perhaps making everything to easy. Good Points: extreme easy, apparent quality is good, auto adjust for low light or high daylight. Pictures look good, but yet to try it on the printer. No problem with WIN XP. User settings are saved, no need to re-set after turn on-off. Bad points: Could not integrate my email program address book. Had to type the address manually. Note- this was direct from the Kodac program. Perhaps I have some learning to do, but this did prove to be cumbersome. Recommendation: As point and shoot, so far so good. Will see quality when I print out on my photo quality printer. Suspect from what I have seen, these will be OK. Easy - yes. Menus - easy. Instruction book - straight forward. Camera is so far everything they advertised. 2.2 MPx appears good to take the family pics. Video mode works good, be careful, it picks up everything (sound).
Rating: Summary: Great camera should have better software Review: I love this digital camera. It is just great. I take lots of photos in general via different cameras, and I find myself bringing this one everywhere. It is the best investment if you have a new baby, for example ... it's not as pricey as other models but has all the features. The videos are a little pixelated, but you can always pretend when your baby is older that it was old (like Super 8) technology. In other words, I personally do not mind the mood of the video quality although I would NOT purchase this camera if that were a concern. The photo quality on the other hand is superb. Finally, the software needs better quality assurance. It software crashes every time I transfer to my Windows 2000 Pro system (and also on Win NT). It just stops in the middle of a photo. Fortunately, there is a workaround: Turn your camera on and off and try again. You won't lose the photo, but will end up with a damaged dupe. For every upload, I have 3 or 4 of these. I upgraded the software via a website patch that took a long time to download, but it has the same problem. If it weren't for the workaround, I'd have to say don't buy it. But cross your fingers that this problem is just for now, until a patch comes out.
Rating: Summary: Overall, a great camera! Review: If I were to rate this camera only on its quality of photos and ease of use, it would be a clear 5 star item. But I too had to return the first rechargeable battery pack and that video recorder part is pathetic. I hate that you can't just buy your own rechargeable batteries and expect the docking station to charge them too. (But you can still use fully charged substitutes) The camera feels a bit cheap with its plastic case but its a wolf in sheeps clothing! The photos that come out of my photosmart printer taken with this camera blew me away! The Outstanding quality of the prints easily matched those of my old wedding camera. Now I fill my albums with high quality 5x7s and larger. If your goal is a digital thats easy to use and makes outstanding photos, this one is a great choice.
