Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The 2.2-megapixel Kodak DX3600 digital camera is similar to the DX3500, with several great additional features, including a 3x optical zoom (plus 2x digital zoom) and movie mode. It handles like a point-and-shoot, and delivers excellent quality images at a maximum resolution of 1,800 x 1,200 pixels--perfect for e-mailing or prints up to 8-by-10 inches. The DX3600 contains 8 MB of internal memory, plus it features a CompactFlash expansion slot for additional memory. Part of the Kodak EasyShare System, this model includes a docking station. The dock will upload your photos straight from the camera to your computer at the push of a button, and it recharges the camera batteries while connected to your camera.

The DX3600 offers continuous video with audio. It comes with a built-in microphone and speaker, and allows you to capture and review video with audio right on the camera. You can also connect the camera to a computer or a TV to watch your video footage. This camera comes with two AA lithium batteries, video cable, USB cable, wrist strap, Kodak Picture software CD, documentation, and a custom camera insert for optional Kodak camera dock. It has a USB port and is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh systems.

4.0 out of 5 stars The one reviewer must have had defective batteries, November 3, 2001

I bought my DX3600 in September and I'm still on my original batteries. I haven't even used the rechargeables I purchased with the camera. I've taken numerous MPEG movies with the camera, and a good number of photos. I've discarded so many, it's hard to keep track of the total but I am definitely pleased with the battery life. It seems much better than friends have experienced with their digital cameras.

As to the poor quality of the MPEG movies that I've read complaints about; It's fine and normal for the resolution. What do you expect from 320 x 240? Kodak couldn't choose a higher resolution since it would eat up far too much memory space.

I think its a fine camera and takes great pictures. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

This is my second digital camera. I first owned a Polaroid PDC700 which got dunked in the ocean during a fishing trip. Anyways, those who owned one would know how incredibly slow it was to download pics to the computer using the serial cable connection. Well, with the Kodak DX3600 with dock, it really is as simple as transferring with the touch of a button. And since it's a USB connection, pics of bigger size load much quicker than they ever did on the Polaroid. The Camera's pretty simple and intuitive to learn...Finally, ended up buying one with a dock on Amazon. Picture quality is great. Much better than the ones I took with the Polaroid. The digital and optical zoom are nice features, but they do give you warning that pictures may not be as clear if you use the digital zoom oeer the optical. And after some testing, it was true especially when it comes to close-ups. I find it's a lot better to get more detail using the close-up option rather than focusing manually. Using a Flash indoors may not give you as good a quality picture as outdoors in normal daylight, but it still takes much better pcitures than the fuzzy ones the Polaroid took indoors with a flash. The movie feature is nice though not really recommended to take keepsake digital movies. It's just a nice option to send e-mail videos or small website video clips. I wouldn't video my family reunion with it as that's what true digital camcorders are for...Oh, and the rechargeable battery that comes with the bundle is uncharged. So, for those of you who want to play with your camera as soon as you get it might want to buy some AA batteries beforehand as it takes about 2 hours to fully recharge the batteries when you get them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love the camera, not the battery, November 29, 2001

I recently purchased this bundle. I love the camera. It is easy to use and the pictures are great. The software is fine for a beginner like me. My problem is with the dock and the rechargeable battery. The dock works great. The pictures transfer to my computer quickly. The problem is trying to charge the rechargeable battery. That does not seem to work. I can leave it in the dock for days, the charge light is green (indicating a full charge) But when I turn on the camera,no power. I even sent my first dock back and have had the same problem on the second setup. I have emailed Kodak and hope they will help. Otherwise I will have to stick with the lithium batteries.
