Summary: Kodak Digital Camera and Softwear.
Review: The DX3600 2.2 gig. camera is very nice.You can make 8x10" blow ups that are beautiful.And get great shots inside, outside, sunny or cloudy. Great zoom, plus you can get a lens kit for it. And the softwear that comes with it is makes it so easy to record the pictures onto your hard drive,drop into the kodak picture program to print or enlarge, correct or E-mail. I like Mine, you should get one.

Summary: Unimpressed
Review: Pictures from the Kodak are not quite up to scratch. At 'best' resolution, the prints are unimpressive and indoor shooting is almost a complete no-no on this camera. The lag on the shutter action is enough to "lose a moment", and the red-eye flash mode is a tad simplistic. On the plus side, the av-usb connector for a direct tv slide show is absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, the lack of an adapter/DC connection takes a heavy toll on battery life.

Summary: Dissapointed.
Review: I bought this camera last December based on the reviews of some people here. What a mistake! 2.2 Megapixels is not enough for taking pictures indoors even in daylight. I had some pictures printed by OfotoNow and came back dull as ever. That was pictures measuring 6x4 and in the best resolution for the camera. Now I find it hard to believe 80 people have a problem with their eyes. Maybe some people are just easily satisfied. Now I am looking for a camera that takes pictures in as high a resolution as regular film cameras.

Summary: Digital Photography Easy!!
Review: Overall, if you're looking for a flexible, easy-to-use, easy-to-learn digi-cam, the DX3600 from Kodak is a nice place to start. It's basically a point and shoot camera that makes digital photography (and videography!!!) accessible even to non-techies.FEATURES: Digital Camera: At it's highest resolution of 1800X1200 it can hold about 25 pictures or so. The easy to review LCD screen gives you instant feedback on your pictures and helps you decide on the spot whether or not they are worth keeping. You can add on another memory card to give you even more flexibility with the number of shots you can take. Digital Video: This is actually what sets this product apart from others in the market. The digital video features allows you to actually record up to several minutes of video. The video is automatically saved to MPEG format for easy playback on your PC. Easily Works With Your PC: The DX3600 connects easily with your PC and comes with transfer software so you can easily download, edit and e-mail your pictures and videos, this allowing you to share your pictures easier with family and friends. THE VERDICT: Overall, if you need a nice, easy to use camera to record your everday (and not so everyday) moments, the DX3600 is a nice camera to start with. If you need somewhat they gives real close attention to detail (like if you're taking pictures of documents with fine print) this isn't for you. However, for everyday/normal/touristy use, this is just perfect. Highly Recommended

Summary: Do NOT buy one......TRUST ME.
Review: This product is garbage. Kodak has really let us down with this camera. When it works it is a great camera. The pic quality is great, the movie function is pretty nice as well but something is inherently wrong w/ these cameras. I have returned mine 3 times and every single camera has had the same problem. There is something wrong w/ the power source/batteries. The camera when new will typically work well for the first couple of uses and then it will start to power off like the batteries are dead. YOu can test the batteries and they are fine. I just received my 3rd camera yesterday and it is doing the same exact thing that the other cameras were doing. 3 out of 3 cameras w/ the same problem obviously means that your chances of owning one without any problems is not good. If I could return it for a full refund I would but now I have had it too long. MY LOSS!!!

Summary: Very nice camera
Review: Coming from a guy who is not that good with electronics, I found this camera easy and fun to use. Not only is it quick and easy to take point and shoot pictures, but the software that comes with the camera makes it is easy to upload your favorites onto your home computer. This Kodak camera is lightweight, compact, and will be easy to take with you on vacations, parties, or anywhere else you could possibly need a camera. The LCD screen is nice and in a great format. The picture is clear and the menus are easy to scroll through. You can line your picture up using the view finder, or (which is another nice thing about this camera) you can line up what you are going to take the picture of in the LCD screen and get it lined up exactly how you want it. If you are looking for an easy to use, quick and efficent camera. This is the one. Kodak does a superb job making the picture experience as fun and painless as possible.

Summary: Kodak DX3600
Review: Just returned from two days in Colonial Williamsburg and shot 253 pics. This is my first foray into the digital camera world and it was super tough leaving my EOS Rebel at home. I'm used to the 28-300mm zoom lens and shooting shot after shot quickly. I bought the 3600 in March 2002 and this was my first real "test" with it. Both good and bad... First the good: When I returned last night I loaded all 253 shots into my Mac Powerbook using iPhoto. Loading and previewing the images was a snap! Probably over 95% of the shots were good. It took a few shots for me to properly steady my pics, but I did. I really enjoyed the ability to immediately see what I had shot and determine whether to keep it or not, although in the bright sunlight seeing images in the display is difficult. I like simply putting another compact flash card into the slot instead of changing film every 24 shots or so. I had taken the camera to a friend's wedding a month earlier and found that the flash is only good for about 8-10 feet or so. So, for distances over that, turn off the flash. You will be surprised how well the shots turn out. The bad: From what I had experimented with earlier, there really is a lot more light out there that one would imagine. But, this meant turning off the flash each time the camera was turned on. Yes, that's right, with digital cameras, unlike my EOS, I had to turn it on each time I wanted to take a pic. We stopped by a park on the way to eat lunch and after taking a few initial shots, I left the camera on while I ate a sandwich. Batteries totally unusable. I had to switch to the backup set and put the others on charge. Being used to the zoom capabilities of my 35mm, I found the 2X optical somewhat lacking. I used it more for framing the shot than zooming. There were some instances where a better zoom would have been nice. I had experiemented enough to stay from the digital zoom, because I am not that steady. I also noticed that there is no way to control the exposure; it's automatic. Again, being used to the EOS, I did have a few blurry shots where the lens stayed opened longer that I wanted. I also should have bought a "pouch" or something to carry my camera and accessories in. The wrist strap fit nicely and the camera is easily used with only one hand, but having it around my neck would have been more comfortable to me...yes, the EOS thing again. Overall: Probably my biggest complaint is the zoom capabilities and lack of control over exposure. Again, there is turning the flash off each time I turned on the camera. I finally worked out the system, "flash" "flash" "select" to turn it off when unable to easily see the display. Would I recommend this to first-timers? Yes, it's a good camera for the money and the 2mp is plenty...I don't remember the last time I printed a pic larger than 8X10...do you? I used the highest quality setting all the time and turned the viewfinder off to save battery consumption. I may still go back to the EOS on the next trip I take...maybe not. I think I will look for the Olympus 2100 because of its zoom and stabilizer capabilities. (I didn't buy it earlier because I hesitated to spend [the money] to begin digital photography.) Buy this as your first digital camera and experiment with it a lot. It is actually a good camera and will help you make the transition into digital photography. As I said, for the next excursion, I will either take the EOS or get the Olympus. Digital has the advantage of not having to change the film cartridge every 24 shots and then not having to wait for the local "one-hour" developer to see what you have taken. That is something I really like. I hope you found this info helpful.

Summary: Big letdown so far.
Review: The day I got this camera I tried taking some pictures indoors and noticed the flash was not working. I called the Kodak company, and they walked me through some procedures to make sure I was operating it correctly. Needless to say, the flash does not work and I am sending it back to Amazon.com for another one. I just hope this doesn't happen again or else I will never buy another Kodak camera again. Kodak said I could send it in for repair.....yeah right, no way! I paid for a new one that works, and that's what I'll get.

Summary: Takes great pics, but what is up with the batteries?
Review: I bought the DX3600 about a month ago, and was immediately impressed with the quality of the photos and extreme ease of use. I had done fair amount of research and determined that this unit was the best bang for the buck in the 2 megapixel digital camera price range. I even added the docking station which is a nice convenience to recharge the batteries and transfer images with no hassle. Another selling point for me was the video mode, which works very well (no, this is not camcorder quality) for quick clips of my son that I can save or email. It would be nice to have an option to at least use the 2X optical zoom (why not?) to bring the action a little closer, but it is what it is. However, it did not take long to realize that there was a problem. The battery life would ususally only last for 10-20 shots, than just die without warning. I tried leaving it on the charger longer, but the same thing kept happening--sometimes even worse! I figured that unit must be defective, so I took it back for a replacement. The new unit worked only marginally better for the first day, but then started acting just like the other one. Major inconvenience! I would expect to be able to shoot AT LEAST 60+ shots with the LCD screen in use before the batteries flopped, but no such luck. I have even been careful to shut it off when I was not about to use it again immediately. Often times it would just not turn on again! I have read reviews from many others who have had similar problems, but I am not willing to deal with Kodak to try fixing it. It is truely a shame, because it is so very simple to operate and the picture quality is excellent. Be that as it may, I am dumping this unit and buying a Canon PowerShot S330 ELPH camera. They are a bit more expensive, but seem to offer more for the money (including a 3X optical zoom rather than a 2X) and do not seem to have such reliability problems. Also, the Kodak is definately not pocket sized as is the Canon. I wish I could recomment the DX3600, but it just dissapoints.

Summary: Simply the best value for your money
Review: Easy and fun to use, I get excellent picture for every single shot. I've enjoyed getting good results out of this camera without fussing over a whole lot of buttons/settings. Don't know what else to add to the review. I would say just buy this unit and try it out yourself, and let everyone else knows what you think.
