Rating: Summary: Good camera at a good price Review: This is my second camera & I bought this one because it was compatible with the built in photo programs on my Mac. Works great with the hardware that I have. I would give this product 5 stars because the hardware is great but when trying to figure out how to download the movie clips to my mac I called Kodak ... still waiting...
Rating: Summary: Not happy with Kodak Review: I have a different model Kodak camera, however they all use the same EasyShare software. Running Windows XP, I could not get the software to work properly. After several hours on the phone with Kodak tech support, they couldn't get it working either. They said they are aware of the problem. It is now several weeks later and they still don't have a fix. They don't really seem to care either.It might not be a bad idea to consider other brands, instead of Kodak. Since, if the software won't work properly, then what good is the camera?

Rating: Summary: Very Poor Battery Life= Very Poor Camera Review: We have had nothing but frustration with the battery problems associated with this product. If a camera is one thing it has to be reliable. For the past months we have used the Kodak as our sole camera only to find that we have constant problems with the batteries charging improperly. We contacted Tech Support and checked the website and found that this was a documented problem (TIB4324). I did what they said to do - if you see the green light, lift the camera up and put it back down again for a total charge of 2 hours when the light is red. I proceeded to pick the camera up and down in excess of 20 times on multiple occasions and have not yet gotten a full charge. I would also like to point out the we are forced to do this each time we charge, not only the "first time the batteries are charged", like the bulletin states. Who has this kind of time? The proposed remedy is completely ineffective. A person cannot be expected to "babysit" your product, simply because it is defective. Kodak has sent us new batteries and we have used different Ni-MH batteries, but after a very short time, the camera still shuts down. We have now sent the camera back to be serviced again by Kodak and are wishing we never purchased it in the first place!
Rating: Summary: Simply Super, easy-to-use Review: I'm a camera and cell-phone maniac to begin with and this product has satisfied our needs impeccably. The film quality is quite good outdoors though the indoor quality isn't marvellous. I didn't buy the dock and I find it quite easy to transfer with the USB cable. The picture quality is exceptional. Indoor and outdoor pictures, you get far more than you expect. And talking about safety my camera easily survived a 2 foot fall 1 and a half weeks after it was brought and the batteries just came out, thats all. The zoom is not enough to be precise, but o.k. I have'nt experienced the battery problem that many users are talking about and I am quite happy without the charger(mind you, I'm on my 1st set of batteries.) though I off the camera whenever I finish using it. This camera is marvellous.
Rating: Summary: Save yourself the trouble Review: Kodak put all of their emphasis on the Easy Share software and none of it on the camera itself. I bought 17 of these cameras for use on a scientific project. After two weeks, 6 of them had to be returned to the vendor with non-functional lens motors. I'm sure it won't be long until the other 11 break. This camera is cheaply built with substandard parts. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA.
Rating: Summary: Very pleased Review: I have just purchased this camera and already I am very impressed with the quality and ease of use. The product came with the batteries, I put them in and I was already to take a picture. It was extremmely easy to download this picture onto my computer (with the provided software ) and e-mail it off to the grandparents and aunts/uncles. I do not have the dock, which is an extra, but I understand that a dock makes it even easier ( if that is possible ). I have fun taking short videos of the kids and then playing it back on the LCD screen for all to watch. I have not yet tried to send a video through the e-mail, but I am sure going to have fun trying. I shopped around and both my husband and I are extremely satisfied with the excellent quality and the extra features that come with this product. Well worth the money!!
Rating: Summary: Poor design Review: I bought this camera recently and added also bought a padded carrying case for it. During a football game, I returned it to its case, latched the cover, and set it on the seat beside me. I stood up, and brushed it off the bench; it fell approximately 18 inches - in a padded case. This short and padded fall broke the camera! Kodak refuses to repair what appears to me to be a very fragile product. If you buy this product, treat it like an fresh egg (or a rotten egg as far as I am concerned. So much for buying American.)
Rating: Summary: A Very Nice Camera Review: Beofre I had this camera, I had many "Sure Shot" film cameras. Since early this year, this camera has provided me everything I have expected and much more-with a very good price (refurbished; I also brought a 64MB memory card-a must for digital camera- plus a backup rechargeable battery). Last week, I took this camera to a very fancy wedding in New Jersey. I shot around 30 pictures. Since it was done in an evening at low light situation, many of them were not successful because the distance was a little too far. For those that were within the flash light range, they looked real good. I published them in OFOTO website and sent the link to people whom I captured on the picture - without having to print a single copy. Before this, I often used this camera to also capture motion film of my two cats - as they hunted for the flies or jumped to capture toys. These were fun moments that I have sent to my daughter in school to keep her updated. I will eventually print some paper copies along with other photos I had, but this experience has made me a beliver of digital camera and the price and quality provided by DX3600 has made this possible. From my last batch of OFOTO pictures, I really don't think you will need a camera with more than 2.1MB Pixels if you only print the pictures with 4x6 or 5x7 sizes. Granted, this camera is not perfect; but I remembered no real disappointments and a lot of great benefits and therefore gave it a 5 rating.
Rating: Summary: Excellent click and shoot camera Review: I have enjoyed this camera a lot since I purchased it in April. I have never had a problem with picture quality. My wife is an artist and she has done sketches by looking the digital version of the picture. The printed print quality is not as good - but I have had excellent results after manipulating the image in Photoshop. (I do the same for pictures or images I scan through a scanner. Once you're used it, the pre-press process only takes a couple of minutes per picture.) For the price I paid, I'm satisfied with the image quality. I do notice that I end up white balancing many of my indoor shots. The ease of use makes up for this in my mind. I'll take a 100 to 200 pictures in a weekend and color correct 10-20. The zoom is weak, but the 'shutter' speed is decent and I've even gotten some decent motion shots. One of the things I love about this camera is the number of shots I can fit on a 64 bit memory card... The video feature is also very cool. It was an unexpected bonus with the camera. With a large memory card I can take several minutes of video before having to dock the camera. The video is not the greatest quality - but its nice to have a video camera that fits in your pocket. If you're a serious photographer who wants to print every shot this is probably not your best bet, but if you're looking for a versatile digital camera for a reasonable price - I'd recommend the DX3600.
