Summary: Just as described
Review: This is my first digital camera, and it is terrific! Easy to use, even for someone who doesn't read instructions. I took many pictures using the standard quality setting and they are excellent. The one touch transfer process is a breeze, and the camera capacity with the 128 MB picture card I purchased is more than sufficient. The digital movies I took are quite good, and the sound is excellent. I would recommend this camera without reservation.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great all purpose Digital camera for the Price
Review: This camera is a great starter or all purpose camera. It takes great pictures and is quite simple to use. There are not a lot of bells and whistles to confuse the novice, or burdon those who want to just point and shoot, but it still takes great pictures. Be prepared to purchase a memory card as the 8MB internal memory will be very limiting.

Summary: Avoid Like The Plague
Review: I was warned by a friend who is knowledgeable about digital photography to avoid Kodak products at all costs - I though he was exaggerating!

I received the package in good condition with no signs of damage or rough handling. I opened the package and followed the instructions, the camera took a total of 4 pictures and quit! I repacked it and sent it back the same day.

The folks at Kodak should be ashamed at the quality of their products. Take my advice and don't be played for a chump. DON'T BUY KODAK.

Summary: Great little camera for the price.
Review: This is my third digital camera. All of them have been Kodak & I had been satisfied with them (aside from a few issues on the DC50) - they are all still working fine. I bought this one for the 2 megapixel resolution, the optical zoom and the 2:3 image ratio (so you can print out a 4x6 image without cropping). After using it, I also like how light it is - it only requires two batteries rather than four (as some of it's competitors). The video feature comes in handy in a pinch. Certainly plan to upgrade to at least a 128mb Compact Flash card.

There is always room for improvement. USB 2.0 support would be good (it can never be fast enough). A 3x optical zoom or better would make it more attractive to consumers. The looks are goofy - I think I prefered the traditional forms of earlier models & the on/off switch keeps switching back on as I slip the camera into the camera case.

Summary: Reliability a Keynote
Review: I purchased a DX3600 for specific work in genealogical research. I needed a camera able to cope with lots of work and the DX3600 has fully met all my needs. In the past three months I have taken over 10,000 images, all of which have been faultless, and the camera has not missed a beat. It is so simple to use and to download. I would highly recommend it to anyone needing a reliable digital camera with high output of quality images.

Summary: I researched before I chose this camera
Review: I still wasn't sure, but when I saw the 8 by 10 I printed where my black cat's fur was visible as fur, not a black blotch, and he was easily recognizable, the colors of his cat tunnel were bright, as the tunnel actually is, and many of the titles in the bookcases behind him could be read. I got some close-ups of my two black cats that I'm really pleased with. I use the USB connection to upload to my computer. The software is easy and prints various sizes, including 3 by 5 - four on a page.

Summary: Good Camera, battery pack problems
Review: Excellent picture, with great features and user-friendly software. I have had to return the camera several times due to problems with battery back and docking station. Because this was one of the first models with the docking station, I recommend buying a later model DX3700, 3900, 4900, etc. Hopefully they have worked out the kinks.

Summary: An excellent entry level camera
Review: As someone who remembers to develop her film a year or more after it is done and takes a year to complete a roll, I just couldn't be classified as a shutterbug. Now that I don't have to worry about the cost of film developing and the extra step of taking it to get developed, I've begun to take lots of pictures and experiment.

This camera was a good value for the money and easy to set up on my Win98 system. The pictures come out very well.

The only problems that I had with the camera is that the battery pack that you use with the dock seems to sit loose in my camera, occasionally causing the camera to think that it is out of batteries. When that happens, I simply reseat the batteries and I am fine. This doesn't happen often enough for it to impact my enjoyment of the camera. (This is most likely the issue with the camera not turning on, but flashing a red light that a few people mention below.)

Summary: A great experience!
Review: I am a newbie to the digital world. I selected a Kodak because I thought it would be a good entry level brand to go with...easy to use, etc. I was not disappointed. The camera is very easy to use and generates great pictures...with great sharpness and wonderful color. The dock makes transferring the jpeg image files to computer a snap, and the Kodak software allows you to manage the images very easily. My only surprise came with how quickly the batteries are used up. Although the dock recharges the batteries while the camera is mounted, I have gone out and purchased a supplemental charger and extra batteries to keep me snapping away without having to quit after one set of batteries is gone.

A great choice for my first foray into the digital world!

Summary: Perfect 2MP camera!!! But 2MP is insufficient
Review: I bought this camera in February and sold in May to buy a better one (a Kodak DX4900). Why? I'll explain.

This camera has a great price value, takes very good pictures. If you don't have more money, buy this one. But be warned, 2MP is simply not enough. I don't need super-fantastic-extra quality prints but I do like getting a 6x8 or 8x10 print where you can't tell if the picture has been taken from a digital camera or from film camera.
The printers most online photo companies use to print digital images print 300dpi (dots per inch). That means that to get the best picture you can have you need a picture with that resolution. If you want a 4x6 print you'll need a (300x4) x (300x6) picture. That is 1800x1200, which is the maximum resolution this camera offers. That's right; you need at least 2MP to print a perfect 4x6 print. If you don't believe me, ask the company where you'll get you're prints from, what's the resolution of their printers. Yes, with 2MP you get good 6x8 prints and not to bad 8x10. But to get a 8x10 picture where you can't tell if it's a film picture or a digital one you need at least 3MP or more.

If you don't mind about the resolution, the camera is perfect. I loved it. Except the sound of the videos had a poor quality and my batteries usually ended before my 64MB Compact Flash filled up. I always took extra batteries in my pocket.
