Rating: Summary: I don't know exactly when the batteries are fully charged Review: Very easy to install and to handle, like the size and weight. I think for the money...I paid this is an excellent choice for beginners because you get all you need....charging device (dock)and the memory card, I bought the whole package and even get the free shipping. I have Windows XP on my computer and all the drivers and software are available at kodak's website. NO PROBLEM GO AHEAD BUY THIS CAMERA !!!!
Rating: Summary: Nice, but... Review: We bought this for our college age daughter choosing Kodak since we had such a good experience with the DC3400. The great features are still there - excellent picture quality, photo review, tv hook-up. And it comes with new features like internal memory and external memory and the docking station for battery re-charging and uploading pictures to your computer. It uses a different memory card from the Kodak we have, though - thought we'd be able to swap cards. The camera has lighweight, almost flimsy feel to it since they're made mostly of plastic, but that's the case even with the more expesnive models. They also changed buttons and functions around so that it was confusing to "unlearn" what we had learned from the older camera. The new camera is much smaller, too, and there is no room for labels as there was on the bigger, older models. The software was problematic. We couldn't get it to run properly on a Dell laptop running Windows ME. It didn't really matter, though, since we can use something else. She's also had problems with re-charging. Sometimes it takes and sometimes it doesn't. She's been using regular batteries to avoid the problem - a very nice feature. If you're used to the Kodak cameras of a year ago, you might be disappointed in the physical quality of the camera and the function control changes. But the new features and the price make up for it. It's a great, full-featured digital camera.
Rating: Summary: Great for a beginner Review: We purchased this camera for my disabled son. We needed a camera which he could understand and learn to use easily. He has been pleased with the results. He has some learning difficulty, but this system has enabled him to take nice pictures, put them into the computer and e-mail them to friends and relatives who live in other parts of county. The price was right and it was an excellent choice for us.
