Rating: Summary: Best buy for the money Review: I purchased the Kodak DX3900 2 weeks ago. I was looking for the best buy that I could find in a 3+ megapixel camera with an optical and digital zoom. Not only does the this little Kodak meet my requirements, it exceeds my expectations in advanced features and picture quality!When I bought the camera, I also bought the docking station and a 128M Compact Flash. The DX3900 comes with an 8M Compact Flash, but I am glad I am not limited to its low capacity. I can store about 230 pictures on the 128M Compact Flash at my "routine" 1.6 megapixel resolution. The docking station is very convenient and simple to operate. It functions similar to a "hot sync" cradle of a Palm Pilot. You drop the camera into the cradle, push the button on the cradle, and presto! Your .jpg image files are then easily transferred to your PC. The cradle also serves as a charging base for the NiMH camera battery pack. Just as a note... not all NiMH batteries will charge in the camera via the cradle. The instruction book warns about this. In order to have batteries that charge, you must use the Kodak brand battery pack (until someone else makes something else that works!) The battery pack has to be installed a certain way. It looks like there might be some kind of mechanism in the camera that is activated via the battery pack. A second battery pack is relatively cheap ($14.95 from Kodak, or less that $10 if you search the web ;-) so I bought one online. I had a "starter" digital camera a couple of years ago. The Kodak is much more than the "next step"! This new DX3900 is DEFINITELY a quality, feature filled, reasonably priced unit that I am looking forward to using for many years.
Rating: Summary: I love this camera Review: I got this camera for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I had a Kodak DC 215 and it was a great camera but the pictures on this camera are fantastic. It is easy to use but lots of options if you want to use. The pictures are clear and sharp. The price you cannot beat either.
Rating: Summary: Perfect Pictures for a Perfect Camera!!!-FANTASTIC Review: I can't believe that I almost didn't buy this camera. It is my second digital camera. My first digital was a cheap Polaroid. I bought it before inexpensive digital photography had really come of age. It is cool being able to plug this camera straight in to the television or the computer. The docking station (not included) does sound nice for recharging the batteries but, I doubt that I will get it. I bought a 128MB card and the USB port card reader. Combine that with the basic package and I already have multiple ways to get at my pictures. I am so glad that I bought this camera. Combining it with my CD-ROM burner, I can really enjoy saving those precious family moments. I've got the EPSON 2880 dpi printer and life is good. No more rolls of film to get misplaced. Emailing quality images that I can be proud of cross country is cool too. The low resolution, poorly lit images from last years digital was almost embarrassing. I was afraid that if I didn't get the most expensive 5.0 megapixel on the market that I might be disappointed, but this camera is more than I hoped for. Notice there are few bad comments on this camera. You know the type. They tell you how qualified they are, how smart they are, and they complain a lot. Great pictures! Great camera! Great buy, well worth the money.
Rating: Summary: Don't waste your money!! Review: Kodak has some nerve charging so much for a camera that does so little. I have a 3 yr old 1 meg Kodak camera that takes much better photos than this 3 meg. The photos are not crisp by any means. I expected a little more by stepping up 2 megs. Once I got over the fact that the 3900 didn't come with a rechargeable battery, I was irate by the fact that it doesn't come with streaming video like the much less expensive 3600. The 3900 is much more expensive than the 3600, yet the 3600 has more features. I compared both and the 3600 even takes better pictures with only 2 megs. Don't make my mistake. Stay away from this camera!!!
Rating: Summary: Very nice camera Review: I bought this camera for my wife and she loves it. It is very easy to use and takes great pictures. The one-step transfer process is very nice. The supplied Kodak software does not provide all the picture editing capabilities but does supply most of them. One of the other editing program ( from Adobe or other suppliers) can fix the few pictures that need extra help.
Rating: Summary: DX3900 Review: This camera is truely the the biggest bang for the buck on the digital market today!!
Rating: Summary: The DX3900's images are amazingly vivid!!! Review: I am totally hooked!!!! The image qualities are impressive. The colors are vivid and perfect. I am very excited. I have taken over 100 photos already. It's a joy, especially if you get the dock.
Rating: Summary: not quiet a dream camera but it does the job Review: This is my first digital camera and I can only give the review based on my 2 days usage of this camera. The reason I bought this camera is due to some features such as : easy to use (docking system), high resolution and the price It is one of the cheapest digital camera if you compare with their competitors such as canon etc. I also got a very good deal as I shopped this camera on the last hour before christmas. There are two thing I do not like about this camera 1. the camera viewer is very small so it is not easy to use it 2. the life time battery that comes with the camera is very poor but you can buy a better battery for this camera. I will be buying this battery when there is a need. 3. Unlike DX3600, it can not record the movie. But I would rather buy a very good digital camera for still pictures, rather have both features but the quality is not so good. I give 4 stars based on the quick usage of this camera (just 3 days). I think my rating will go up or down depending on my experience using this camera in longer time.
Rating: Summary: great camera!!! Review: I received the DX3900 camera for christmas and it is super nice. The pics are great using the high resolution setting (oh yea, it's 3.1 not 3.3 megapixels like the product description says!). The only complaints I have are first, the lcd screen is a little small, and two, the kodak software is a little slow even though the actual transfer using the USB is fast. If you have some other CF reader, I highly recommend using it. These are minor problems however. Now I just need a bigger CF card because of all the pictures I'm taking!!!!
Rating: Summary: Great Quality for a Great Price Review: I've had the DX3900 for a week and have found that it provides tremendous picture quality and is very user friendly. The features built into this camera are normally found in cameras that are $200-$300 more. It is cleverly designed to allow a user to add a lens adapter along with a lens kit giving it wide angle and more zoom capability. The Kodak software included is very easy to use and gives the user editing and resizing capabilities prior to printing, as well as a slide show option which is fun for family and friends to sit around and review the pictures. Low pricing, great pictures, and user-friendly features would make it hard for me to choose any other of the fine, competitive models available over the Kodak DX3900.
