Summary: Frustrating camera/software
Review: After fighting with the camera and software for three hours, I gave up. I was displeased immensely with the software it came with, as it had a mind of its own. The camera itself looks nice and the photos look great on the LCD, but I guess what you see is NOT what you get. After trying to "transfer" the photos to my computer, if they even showed up, the pixels were jumbled up and the colors weren't even right. After starting over three times, I realized this battle was not going to be won by fighting with it, but by returning it because it just doesn't work. And, Kodak's website support section was as unhelpful as possible. I sent them an e-mail for help, and got an automatic reply that it would take 7-10 days for them to get back to me. I find that wholly unacceptable...and no phone number to boot!Do yourself a favor and buy a different camera.

Summary: Camera is without lens protection!!!
Review: Alltogether this camera is good. Here the good things: 1. It makes clear pictures and it is very very very very easy to use. (After five minutes I could operate all menus etc on that camera) 2. It even has a macro function although the description at amazon.com says it doesn't. So, you can go 25 centimeters close to your object. (that's good if you want to photograph flowers, pictures and other close motives) 3. The lenses are all made of glass (which is important, never buy a camera with a plastic lens!!). 4. The battery lives long (300 pictures with one battery) 5. For only $30.- additional you can buy a 16mb card and so you can hold 60 pictures at highest resolution. 6. You can connect it to TV and watch your pictures there. It also has a slide show function, that means as you watch, the camera switches automatically from one picture to another showing all pictures that you selected. 7. You can add or turn off each of the three optional flashes (red eye, bright background, regular). Here is the bad: 1. No autofocus. For that reason I would probably buy a different one today. 2. The highly celebrated special feature, the camera dock to recharge the batteries is NOT included.
3. Here is something for people who don't know much about computers:
A lot of computers (three years and older) DON'T have USB.
You need to double check if your computer has USB input, if it doesn't, forget buying this camera. I have a 266MHZ Pentium and I thought it must be new enough to use this camera however it doesn't have USB. Also you NEED to have Windows 98 or newer to use this camera, otherwise you can send it back.... 4. Finally I want to say that nowadays cameras have so many features and are so sophisticated however THE basic thing, a simple plastic top on the lens for protection is not there anymore. Be careful not to get scratches on the lens with this camera. Even in my grand-greatfathers time this was a basic feature for all cameras, today it is considered as something special, isn't that sad?

Summary: Great Entry-Level Camera
Review: I bought this unit as a Christmas present for my wife. We were immediately impressed by the ease of operation and the quality of the images. The only real "negatives" would be the overuse of plastic, almost the entire housing, and a small viewing screen. Overall, it's a great entry-level camera for anyone thinking about transitioning from film. I bought a complete package, adding the 16Mb memory card, a small camera case and the Kodak docking station. The docking unit charges the included camera batteries while the USB cable allows direct transfer of the images to our desktop computer. As I said, it's a really good start-up consideration.

Summary: Still clicking after 2 years
Review: I have used the Kodak DX3215 for more than 2 years without having any problems. I have the docking device and keep the camera there to recharge batteries when I am home. Away from home I use the lithium batteries. I take many snapshots, and use the Kodak software to edit, store, and print them. I am not a professional photographer, but knowledgeable about point and shoot basics. I found this camera as easy to use as my Ricoh 135mm camera, but now prefer this one because I can edit and print the photos myself.

Summary: novice with digital cameras
Review: I just received my camera on 12/30/01 and within minutes of opening the package we were taking pictures. Because it came with an instruction manual for a Kodak DX3500 and I have a DX3215 we spent a little extra time trying to figure out what all the buttons were for. It would have been much more helpful to have a manual that actually showed the details of the camera which was purchased but once the software was installed in my computer I could retrieve the information I needed which is okay but would be better to have an actual black and white copy rather then having to go online each time I have a question. I do think the pictures we took came out rather good except for those taken in a low light situation. I would recommend this one for any beginner in digital photography. It's a good learning camera before investing in a more expensive and better quality camera.

Summary: l337
Review: I love this camera, it's easy to use, that pictures are amazingly clear, and unlike most digital cameras, it takes great motion pictures instead of blurring the motions, it keeps them clear. I love how I can preview pictures on my Television, and upload the pictures quickly. The battery it comes with has lasted me four days of almost non-stop use.
The one default of this camera is that it doesn't seem to have an self timer on it for taking pictures of yourself.

Summary: Nice quality Megapixel camera
Review: I think this camera would rate higher if the price were more in line with the cheap 1.3 Megapixel competition. I bought this item for half the listed price, or my rating might be somewhat different. This camera takes excellent photos that will print at near-photo quality up to 5x7 inches. It's not a truly high-resolution camera, but for snapshots, photos for Web use, and even spot photos for press it will do the job nicely. The overall photo quality and color balance is excellent, although images are little grainy indoors by artificial light w/o flash. The impressive thing is that it actaully takes photos indoors by artificial light w/o flash. So far the auto focus has resulted in perfectly focused images every time, with fast exposures that help prevent blurriness from unsteady hands. The macro-focus also results in excellent, sharp images from less than a foot away. The interface is easy to grasp, and not too difficult to set up. I've been very impressed so far with the quality of the images.
Its major drawback, in my opinion, is the lack of features which far cheaper digital cameras include. I own a Concord Eye Q Duo 1300, which takes acceptable photos at the same resolution, but also has a self-timer and video clip capability ... at 1/3 the list price for the Kodak. For the price, I would expect the Kodak to include a few more more bells and whistles. Like all digital cameras I've had to deal with, the Kodak eats batteries like candy. Be sure to buy lots of batteries, or have a couple of sets of rechargeable batteries to rotate through.
