Summary: Very Handy
Review: It took me a few minutes to get used to it but, once I got the hang of it, I found it very easy to use. The first thing that threw me off was the fact that it comes with a lithium battery pack (this is the version without the docking station). I spent a while trying to figure out how to charge the batteries before I realized I didn't need to. Most of the time, it's easiest to use it like a regular camera -- point and shoot. If you use the digital zoom or the cloeup setting, though, you're better off using the viewing screen to line up a shot. Another unexpected feature was the way it interfaces to a PC. I expected the device driver to use twain protocol. Instead, the camera, when plugged into the USB port, acts like an extra disk drive. The internal memory and memory card show up separate folders, each of which contain JPEG images, one for each picture taken. I can load, edit, save and delete the images using my favorite software. Couldn't be easier. I've seen a number of reviews saying that the images are blurry. The only way I could manage to take blurry pictures was to turn off the flash and take a picture in low light, but that's true of any camera. Using the digital zoom feature tended to result in pictures that were a bit grainy. That was pretty much what I expected, though. It's probably better to move closer to the subject when possible. Overall, I found it hard to take bad pictures with this camera and, when I did, it was easy enough to delete them.

Summary: I really like this camera!
Review: Good all around camera. Comes with detailed, yet easy to read manual - not that you'll need it after the first day or two - USB & video cable, batteries -only needs 2 AA's - and easy to install and use software. I've tried this camera, and it is a nice camera for those who want great pictures without a lot of trouble. Pictures tranfer to the computer very easily with the enclosed software and cable. While it doesn't come with all of the bells and whistles of the more expensive cameras, it also doesn't burn batteries like there not tommorrw either. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Summary: I outgrew this camera very quickly
Review: Don't be fooled by this camers 2.2 Megapixels. It may be able to shoot at high resolution, but it applies to much compression to the images it shoots to make them fit onto the card. The result is that the images apear grainy when fully zoomed in. Also, the digital zoom only enhances this graininess. It looks like someones merely cropped the image and then enlarged it to full size (blurry and low quality). This camera also is terrible for film exposure (I know it doesn't have film, but still). My pictures are always come out to dark or too light and I have to use photoshop (Making copies of layers and setting them to screen or multiply) to set the values right. The only plus about this camera is that it has a good OS, and has the novelty of being able to hook up to a TV. I would reccomend stepping up to Nikon Coolpics 775 (about 80 bucks more) because there is a huge chance you will outgrow this camera like me.

Summary: This is THE camera to get for this awesom price!!!!
Review: I've had this camera for about 1 week now... and there's nowhere I havn't taken it with me to! It's durable, easy to use and the quality is amazing. 2.2 megapixel is an amazing deal for the low price this camera is going or. I don't recommend getting the package that includes this camera and the charging/share dock though. You're just paying way too much money for something you don't even need, the dock. This camera is already easy to hook-up and though it does suck up batteries, you can just buy some rechargable batteries and a battery recharger. This camera is awesome! BUY IT NOW!

Summary: Kodak DX3500 EasyShare Digital Camera -- Reasonable price
Review: Very happy with product. Very easy to use point and shoot digital camera. This feature packed camera is reasonable priced. Not to fancy, yet does everything the average comsumer would want. Best if used in conjuction with Kodak EasyShare Camera Doc. (I have also reviewed this item.) Note: If you use the LCD screen to "take" pitures it uses the battery faster. This camera has a digital, but no optical zoom.

Summary: Great Camera For The Price!
Review: Easy to use and set up. However if you use a Compaq laptop with Hot Swappable Bays, you must disable Bay swap.exe in the startup menu or the software will lockup your computer. I called Kodak to solve my problem and they were very helpful! The pictures I've taken look great, and the one touch picture transfer makes it simple to transfer your pictures to your computer. The docking station is a great feature. The extra memory card is a must have! I also purchased another card so I can take pictures on vacation without running out of space!

Summary: Great outdoor shots
Review: I've been using the Kodak DX3500 for about 3 weeks and have been very successful in good lighting conditions. Indoor shots are a little dark, because the flash is not effective beyond 8 feet or so. The usb connection for uploading to the computer is very fast, so bypass the docking station. One trouble I've encountered is when uploading to the computer, the picture loading software freezes after uploading 24 pictures or so. I need to disconect and restart to get the remaining pictures loaded. Overall, this camera is a great value. Simple to use, no complicated features, and picture quality is high.

Summary: Good Camera for the Price
Review: After reading the various feedback on the Kodak DX3500 camera, I saw contradictory views about picture quality and battery life. Perhaps this can be accounted for by two facts: (i) picture quality depends on lighting conditions; (ii) full battery life comes only at the third recharge. After experimenting with my DX3500 (with docking station), here is my evaluation of picture quality: Close up (bright conditions): Excellent
Close up (dim conditions): Excellent
2-6 feet (bright conditions): Very Good
2-6 feet (dim conditions): Good
Over 6 feet (bright conditions): Good
Over 6 feet (dim conditions): Poor Here is the battery life for my camera (using the included Kodak NiMH batteries):
1st full recharge: 13 shots plus data transfer
2nd full recharge: 21 shots plus data transfer plus firmware 1.01 upgrade (highly recommended)
3rd full recharge: more than 306 shots plus data transfer (PC World reported 218 shots) I say <more than 306 shots> because the battery was still okay when I had to leave for work. Although the 3rd recharge gave 306 shots (and probably more), the low-battery indicator turned on after the 10th shot. Therefore the indicator is not a reliable gauge of battery power, and is prone to false alarms. 65% of my 306 shots used the flash. 40% were high resolution. 30% used the macro (closeup) mode. Kodak tells you not to use alkaline batteries. Out of curiosity, I used fresh Duracell alkalines, and got only four shots. My opinion: Very good camera, though not quite suitable for professional use. Probably the best camera in its price range. The docking station is not absolutely necessary, but is very nice to have.

Summary: A Great Buy
Review: I am very pleased with my camera. It is my first digital camera and I learned to use it without help other than the manual. It takes great pictures and they print out nicely. I am pleased with the software program that loads to my computer . The loading dock is a must I feel. I do have one regret however, I wish I and put out the extra money and purchased the 3600 model for the added zoom feature. This is a great camera for its price and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a simple but nice camera.

Summary: Don't buy Kodak
Review: I no longer buy Kodak products. The buttons on the camera are poorly made and will frustrate you when you least expect it. I have my camera for a while and it is out of the 1 year warranty. The button that is use to activate the flash no longer works. When I called Kodak about this, they told me to send in the camera along with [money] for [the] repair. No Way! So I am telling you guys not to buy Kodak cameras or their products.
