Summary: Looks great on the surface
Review: The DX3600 looks like one of the best cameras in it's price range. However, after owning one for six months I can tell you that it has some serious pitfalls.

The flash is not strong enough to take a decent indoor picture. Pictures taken indoors will be very dark. This camera takes some great pictures outdoors, but honestly, my DC25 took way better indoor pictures.

The batteries that came with the camera worked for about 4 months, in the last two months though I've gone through about a dozen sets of batteries under the same useage. Sure a couple of those sets of batteries were the cheapo Rayovac type, but even the 1700ma Energizer rechargables only last a couple days of average use.

I do not have the EasyShare Dock because frankly [money] is a bit much for a battery charger when the camera comes with a USB cable to get the pictures out, which does work very well with the included software. Maybe the Dock & the Kodak batteries give better life, but I haven't found the third-party battery yet that lasts more than a week, let alone 4 months.

The Quicktime movie ability is one of the reasons I bought this camera. However, the cameras inability to take a good still picture indoors transfers to the Quicktime feature as well. Images are often too dark and the auto iris changes brightness harshly. This feature does work well out in the day light, just like the still picture function.

All that said, this camera takes some great pictures out in the sun light. If you do mainly outside picture taking, then this is a great buy. The included software is decent, but not great. If the camera had a little more user control over the picture taking process, and the flash were stronger (actually, the flash is probably stong enough, but when the flash is turned on, the camera automaticly steps down the iris...stupid) this would be a very solid camera and well worth the roughly [money] this camera retails for (without the dock of course).

Summary: Good still shots, don't buy for the video only
Review: The biggest selling point for me on this camera versus others in this class/price range was the unlimited (per memory) video capability, and the Kodak docking system. I was very disappointed in the video quality. I'm not a fan of QuickTime which is the format used. I am very, very impressed with the Kodak docking system, and software!

In the process of preparing to return the camera for one of better still photo quality, and sticking with Kodak's docking system, I found some surprises. The 3600 has a larger LED viewer than the 3700 or 3900. The 3900 has no onboard memory and the 3700 has digital zoom only. Both the 3700 & 3900 have 3.3 megapixel which goes beyond the 8 X 10 print quality compared to the 2.2 which prints only(?) 8 X 10. Neither the 3700 or 3900 have ANY video capability.

If you are looking to catch video only, don't buy this camera. If you are looking for quality still shots for the dollar, ease of using your computer to work with them, this IS the camera!

Needless to say, I will be keeping my DX3600!

Summary: Kodak DX3600 - prepare to spend a lot more $$$$
Review: After much research on digital cameras and trying them out, I purchased this camera. For the first couple of months I was very disappointed. I could not get the camera to stay charged for more than a half hour or so. Also I couldn't print my photos clearly. After several frustrating calls and emails to Kodak, I did get help with the charging problem. I could never get photos to print, however, so I purchased the Kodak Personal Photo printer. Now I love the camera, I take pictures and print them without dealing with my computer. The camera is very easy to use, the menus are easy to read and understand. My pictures come out great digitally and in print. I recommend this camera but be prepared to pay for a lot of accessories: extra memory, the dock, and possibly the Personal printer if you really want to enjoy it.

Summary: GREAT CAMERA AT A GREAT PRICE
Review: We got this because it was rated a "Best Buy" by a consumer magazine. We've used a few digital cameras in the past, and this camera was by far the easiest to use.

The video option is great and it even captures sound! We love making little movies of our baby.

Just be sure you get a big memory card to go with it, and you can take pictures and videos all day long.

Summary: Kodak DX3600 Digital Camera
Review: The Kodak DX3600 Digital Camera is a joy to own. The onboard menus are easy to use, and the camera can change from still photo mode to movie mode at the turn of the dial. With my San Disk 128MB Compact Flash memory card, I can take 797 low resolution photos, which at 900 X 600 resolution, is still clear, crisp, and sharp. The box includes an external video upload cable, which, on the front audio and video ports on my RCA TV, I can play back my stills, or video with sound, and pan and zoom controls. I like it so much, that I'm getting the combo camera/dock for some friends of mine who are getting married this March. They'll need a reliable camera that comes from an established leader in the photography business.

Summary: Great point and shoot VeriPic compatible camera
Review: This camera is a significant improvement over previous Kodak cameras. We were testing this camera for VeriPic software compatibility and were pleasantly surprised at its ease of use. We had previously used Kodak DC215, DC260, DC265, DC290 and DC5000. We were pleased with how much lighter this camera is than the DC290 as well as this camera is frugal on batteries.

This camera take standard or rechargable AA batteries. This will save you a lot of money in the long run. Beware of other cameras from other manufacturers that use their own battery types. The photos are crisp and sharp and the auto-focus is accurate. The colors from this camera, as is true for all Kodak cameras, appear warm and inviting. Kodak really knows how to do the color mix well! Best of all, this camera will work with VeriPic software so this camera could be used for legal or insurance work where digital photo authenticity is necessary. This is a great all around point and shoot camera.

Summary: It's easy
Review: This cmeera is almost as easy to use as a 35mm. yet it is digital. All the features are fairly easy to use and are easily explanitory. We shopped around before the purchase of a digital camera, and this is about the best in features for the money.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Buy!
Review: I wanted to buy a digital camera for about 9 months. I researched the different models and brands on many different sites. I got suggestions from friends, family, people at work etc. When I finally made the decision I couldn't be happier. The DX3600 was a great choice for me. I am not a great photographer but this camera takes great photographs. A few days after I purchased the camera I was at a wedding. My brother who never used the camera before took a picture of myself and my fiancé. The picture turned out so well that I used the Amazon/Ofoto service and had it printed as two 8x10 to give to our Mom's for Christmas. The photograph was taken in the same spot and the wedding photographer took pictures and there is almost no difference in the quality. The only downside I can see is the size of the internal memory of the camera. If you are going to take any more then a half dozen pictures at one time you will have to purchase a compact flash card to store pictures. Other than that it's fabulous!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DX3600
Review: This camera was a real bargain. It's very easy to use for my wife who is nervous when using digital cameras. For, a digital camera owner and user for five years, it is great. It has great resolution and unlike many digital cameras in this price range a pretty good flash. I wish it had a more powerful optical zoom, but is adequate. A 64 MB card really increases versatility, especially when shooting video. The audio & video is impressive when you consider it comes from a still camera.
