Summary: Kodak DX 3600 a trustworthy camera...
Review: I've had a kodak DX 3600 camera now for about 2 years. I have found that the quality of pictures has been excellent and the video mode is brilliant, as few digital cameras offer video with sound being recorded too. At the start i had battery problems and problems with it powering down unexpectedly but it was sent back to Kodak and it was a faulty connection between the power section and main part of the camera, since then i have had little problems with power, like all didgital cameras they do go through batteries but just be sure to have enough charged up, and the dock it comes with handily charges the batteries. At 2.2 mega pixels i have found it brilliant, there is brilliant image quality for what i'm using it for and it doesn't take up alot of hard drive space, with the average photo taking up about 400Kb on the best picture quality setting. I would reccemmend this camera.

Summary: Excellent Quality for 2.2 meg. but battery life bad.
Review: This camera surprisingly prints great quality pictures in 3x5 to 5x7 sizes. The only problem I have with this camera is the rechargeable battery life is poor. The camera dock and the rapid charger does not adequately charge the batteries and I own 3 batteries and have a problem with all of them. I own the Kodak DX6490 now and do not have a problem with the battery keeping charged, so I believe they fixed this problem with later models.

Summary: Lots of problems!!!
Review: When we first got the camera, we were impressed. It was easy to use, and the pictures that we took printed out very nicely.
However, after having the camera for a few months, we started to see the following problems.
1. POOR BATTERY LIFE
After only a couple of weeks of use, the rechargeable battery that came with the camera would only take 5-6 shots before dying. We kept the camera contantly on the dock, so it should not have run out. I assumed it was a defective battery and bought some desposable batteries for it, but had a similar problem. With a brand new battery, it would take 20-30 shots and it would fail to work.
2. RANDOM POWERING OFF
This was really annoying. After several months of use, the camera started turning itself off frequently. Sometimes I have to restart it 4-5 times to get it to stay turned on. Even then, it will often turn itself off when trying to take the picture. I have 3 small kids, and I have missed so many shots because of this.
3. LONG PAUSE BEFORE SNAPPING PICTURE
I know this is not a defect, but is probably by design (probably the auto-focus working), but there is a half second pause between the time you push the button and the picture actually takes. We have missed many shots because of that as well.
I hate to say it, but I will not buy a Kodak camera again. It's too bad, because when this did work properly, the pictures were really good and the dock is really a good idea. We eventually decided to buy a new, higher end camera (Fuji Finepix S7000). We will see how that turns out :)

Summary: Slow response, okay for point and shoot and in bright light
Review: This camera has a very annoying problem- when you push the button to take the picture there is about a half second delay before the picture is actually taken. This is really NOT good if you are hoping to take pictures of kids, candid photos or pictures of anything in motion. Other cameras are less expensive and don't have this horrible problem.
Aside from this problem, if the picture is taken in bright light and at close range, the colors look wonderful.

Summary: Nice camera but software is not easy to use
Review: First let me say that a leading consumer magazine rated this #1 of the 2 mega-pixel cameras. I would agree with their assesmentFirst the good features: The first thing that sets this camera apart is the optical zoom. The ability to zoom in or out just that little bit makes getting the right photo that much easier. Digital zoom is a worthless gimmick that will degrade your picture quality a great deal, if you plan on using zoom go for the optical. This camera also has a macro setting, which allows very close pictures of plants and insects to turn out suprisingly well. The movie setting is another bonus, that allows you to take small movies complete with sound. The movie quality is not great and it only works when well lit, but I have had a lot of fun with it. It is just about perfect for posting short clips on the web. The ease of use is fairly good. The picture quality is very good. The bad points: The display screen washes out in strong sunlight. To be fair this is comon to most cameras. It is a little bulky by modern standards. I think most point and shoot film cameras were about this size. If you plan to stick it in your pocket make sure you have big pockets. Battery life is subpar and drain is very high. You will not be able to use alkaline batteries, only Ni-Mh or Lithium. With a few extra sets of batteries long trips should be fine, but don't forget the batteries. The optical viewfinder is cheaply made, hard to use, and somewhat innacurate. It is still usable, but I expected better from Kodak. Use the display screen when possible.
