4.0 out of 5 stars Kodak 3600 really delivers!, November 1, 2001

I have been looking for a camera for using commercially for taking Real Estate pictures. I have been using the Canon S10 and S20 models. I purchased the Kodak on price with a 7 day return period. What amazed me was the superior quality of color and definition that the Kodak had over the Canon, which are priced higher. At first thought the Kodak does feel a little cheapo,-like a toy, but the proof of the pudding is in the reults.

The docking station is easy to use and ensures a fully charged battery every time. The picture transfer is fast. Often taking literally seconds compared to other cameas minutes.

The only drawback for me is the LCD not being easy to use in the daylight. However using the cameras viewfinder overcomes this.

If you want an idiot proof basic camear where good quality pictures and ease of use are required then I recommend this especially at the price Kodak have it for sale for.

The movie recored is O.K, if you want serios video you would purchase a digiatl video camear anyway), but is ideal for sending over the E mail to family.

Whilst some more serious enthusiasts may not take this camera seriously (no lowlight exposure adjustments etc) I think that for simple pointing and shooting, this camera will surprise you when you see the results. The colour and definition is very good on either setting (good, - better).

The software for downloading is clever and easy to use as well. Although the album feature could be made better.

Value for money = 10/10, an ideal first camera offering great results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and Shap pitures, September 24, 2001

I have bought this a week ago and now it is a integral part of my daily life. Design is nice, very light, simple operation, good menu. The movie is a bit dark but acceptable. If you want to have a good quality movie camera, you don't want this. However, with this price and extra feature of movie, it is a good choice.
Picture was supprisingly sharp. I was able to view this on my TV on the fly also using supply video out - a nice feature.
Basically, this camera is built for a normal person without looking for too much troble. Except the low quality of video, I love this.

One bad thig about movie was it outputs movie as .mov and you have to view this using quicktime. I wanted to use Windows Media which has more function than Quicktime. I was able to find a convert software at ... - RAD video tool and convert this .mov to .avi format. Once I converted, I was able to burn VCD using Nero 5. Now it can be played on normal DVD. Recommanded for its quality, price, easy of use.

Not recommanded if you are a photo maniac looking for high end.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent camera...battery problem as well, October 10, 2001

I recently purchased this product, mainly appealed by the docking station and recharging features. I agree with the other reviewer...I too had battery problems. Same identical "red light flashing" indicating the need for new batteries, after just 8 shots. I had to use the power from the camera dock to reset the unit and get powered up again. I let the unit charge for the required "24-hours" yet the docking station indicated it was fully charged after just one. I then switched to AA-Lithiums for awhile. After going back to the rechargable's, I have had no problems since. Really odd...works fine now though..

Otherwise, the Camera is GREAT!! Easy to use, takes great photo's. The viewer is high quality and optical focus makes it worth the price over the DX3500. I take all photos at 1800 x 1200 and with the expansion card, you get 49 photos of best quality (on flash card) and 24 in-camera memory. This camera package is perfect for first-time users. Four out of Five stars due to the battery snafu early on.
