Summary: Excellent camera for the money!
Review: I have wanted a digital camera for SO long, but never wanted to pay the high price for some of the "necessities". This camera fit the bill. Within 10 minutes of opening the box, I was taking pictures and emailing them to grandma. Within and hour, I was taking pictures and loading auctions to help pay for my new toy! Yes, it could have come with an AC adapter,lens cover, etc. BUT, in my case, I would prefer to buy that next month. You can always add on buy buying a memory card, USB flash card reader, etc. That would make it faster, but for my purposes, as a "mom", this camera really works well for me and my budget!! Oh, I might add, I did have to call Kodak for one teeny little question and they had my question answered in 30 seconds or less! So, they do back their product! If you go to their website, you can even play an interactive demo of this camera and see actual photographs! One feature that I really love is that I am able to crop and modify pics all from one place before sending them out. No more wasting download time on boring backgrounds!! So, if you need/want an inexpensive solution to the digital camera, this would be it. If you want all the add ons and want to pay the price now, you would go with a more expensive camera. However, the quality of the pic is tremendous!

Summary: Talk about an "over-achiever"
Review: Bought mine before year-end, looking to replace a first generation Casio QV-10. Let me tell you: if you can get it, buy it! Sure, it feels a little cheap, but the features are great, picture quality is surprising, and the cost . . . well. Buy a 64MB CompactFlash card, USB reader, and NiMH rechargeable batteries (4-AA) and you'll be in picture taking heaven! For about $350 (with all of the named accessories), I can take over 300 "good quality" (compressed, JPEG) or almost 200 "best quality" (uncompressed JPEG) pictures which upload to my PC in SECONDS!

Summary: For me, this camera is great!
Review: I'm not at all a "photographer" or a camera expert, but in my opinion this is a great little camera for its quality and price. I had priced dozens of cameras from 1-megapixel and up. What you get with the Kodak DC3200 is a camera that you can use to take your everyday photos: birthdays, vacations, kids in the yard. NO, you can't make posters out of any of the pictures you take, but have you ever?I use a 64MB Compact Flash card that I share with another device. While I've never used the entire card, Kodak stated that at high quality you can get over 200 pictures, at regular quality over 800, and at lowest quality (they don't say). You would need 34 rolls of film for 800 photos, but you can reuse the flash card. The DC3200 is not fancy, complicated or expensive. It is an easy to use, everyday digital camera.

Summary: Great camera for the budget minded.
Review: As an avid 35mm photographer, I've put off going digital because the cameras themselves are so limited compared to SLRs. So, first: The 3200 is a fixed focus, wide angle camera. It has a digital zoom feature, but it's only available when your using the lowest quality image setting. And, as a very picky 35mm photographer, I should point out that even at the higher quality settings, you shouldn't expect to get high-quality prints larger than snap-shot size. *BUT*: Given the resolution of the camera, the quality of the images is excellent; My first use of the camera was on a disney vacation, and I gave it a huge work-out. I added a 48 meg memory card to it, shot hundreds of photos, and really appreciated the ability to delete pictures right out of the camera - that way you can go crazy take a ton of pictures, then delete the ones that didn't work out. I'd give the camera five stars, but the fact that it doesn't come with a video cable or memory card is kind of frustrating. The built in 2 megs isn't enough memory to do anything except test the camera.

Summary: Buy this camera for your mother!
Review: I bought this camera for my mother, and I was afraid that she wouldn't use it because it would be too complicated. I have an older Olympus digital camera that is complicated to use and the software is weird, too. My mother was emailing me Christmas pictures within an hour of unwrapping the thing! She loves it, and I enjoy all of the photos she sends. I only have one detraction from my review and that is the flash: it is too powerful. I think you can set it to be lighter, though my mom hasn't read that far yet.

Summary: Great and easy to use
Review: I got this camera for my girlfriend for Christmas and we were taking pictures in less then 10 minutes. The quick step guide is great and anyone can use it. She has taken photography classes and has a Canon 35mm camera with a 300 zoom lense, so she's an advanced picture taker. This camera makes it easy for her to do quick shots and scan through them to delete pictures that she doesn't like. Also easy to carry around and small enough to fit in a small camera bag. I wish it had more internal memory, but the cards are not that expense, compared to developing pictures that you don't want. Great camera, great price and we recommend it to anyone that's looking for something easy to do pictures on the internet.

Summary: Best for the Buck!
Review: I have been searching for a megapixel camera for some time, well my time has come! The Kodak DC3200 is very basic, but has very good image quality. CCD image devices are NOT all the same and Kodak has a great one. The camera is very compact. I know, it looks huge in the pictures. The camera also has some very nice power saving features (which are annoying at first)that do extend battery life a good 25%. Once a new user quits fiddling with the LCD view screen, he will realize the benefits of these power saving features. To maximize camera function go out and immediately buy a flash card. Look on Amazon for the Lexar 16mb compactflash card with the JumpShot USB cable. With it I can download 187 pictures in less than a minute. Downside is that internal 2mb memory is bypassed when using the flash card but it is no big deal. If you use the 2mb internal memory it can be downloaded to the flash card so you NEVER have to use the slow poke serial port. Try this camera, you'll like it. Better yet, add the Lexar flash card and JumpShot to your purchase!

Summary: Something's missing ...
Review: No bells and certainly no whistles. This camera is for my son (9 yrs.), so I wanted to stay under $200. The fact is that this camera takes great pictures, but I think it stinks that Kodak won't include the lens cap and the video out cable. It cost me a whopping $20 (from Kodak) for the round piece of plastic and the cable. Other cons: no mount for a tripod, no self timer, clobbers batteries, slow serial interface. I understand that $200 is not much for a digital camera and this one takes great pictures, but the lens cap and video cable thing bugs me.

Summary: Fabulous Camera, Great Value
Review: What a great buy! I was looking for a digital camera to use with my fledgeleng business, as well as for personal use. I purchased a DC3200 and could not be happier with it. It takes very sharp, clear photos; has very true color reproduction; and is so easy to use. I recommend it for everyone looking for a great buy in a digital camera.

Summary: I am impressed!
Review: I LOVE this camera, I am not technically inclined at all, so was VERY happy to see how easy this camera is to use, the pictures it takes are great quality, when I upload them to my computer I see no difference between them and pictures I scan that I have had developed. It has a great flash, the LCD screen is really nice, the software it comes with is awesome, it even lets you make pictures black and white, you can remove red eye and make all kinds of changes to the pictures. A kid could use this camera it is so easy to use. I wanted to check the camera out before I bought attachments for it, but now I wish I had purchased the 32 mb picture card with it, I am going to order it now, even the 2mb that it holds is good enough and lets you store quite a few pictures, I am having a baby in a few weeks and this camera is going to the hospital with me so I can take a ton of pictures of my new born :)
