Kodak DX3700 EasyShare 3MP Digital Camera

Product Description
For maximum print quality at a minimum price, look no further than the DX3700.

With most manufacturers, camera resolution and features go hand-in-hand: basic point-and-shoot models typically come with low-resolution image sensors, while high-resolution cameras are packed with bells and whistles that add to the product's price and complexity. The DX3700 is different. It's a basic point-and-shoot with few advanced features, but its sensor is a high-resolution 3.1-megapixel model for sharp prints at 8 by 10 inches and beyond. If you're looking for an affordable camera that captures sharp, detailed digital snapshots, the DX3700 is a great choice.

Because the DX3700 is designed for ease of use, it offers photographers few manual controls. The flash can be set to on, off, auto, or red-eye reduction, and the focus can be set to macro (for extreme close-ups) or standard. Otherwise, the camera automatically adjusts all settings. There's also a digital zoom, which makes objects appear closer, but be aware that the camera does this by cropping away the outer edges of a photo and enlarging what's left, reducing the image quality of the zoomed photo. It's a handy feature, and the photos still look clear, but your zoomed photos won't have the same detail as those taken with a 3-megapixel camera with optical zoom.

As with all EasyShare cameras, an optional dock makes it even easier to transfer pictures and keep your camera's batteries charged. A word about memory cards: to keep costs low, the camera uses internal memory for image storage. If you're taking pictures at the camera's highest quality setting, you'll be able to take around eight photos before filling the memory, necessitating a trip to your computer to transfer the images, erase the memory, and start shooting again. If you're looking for more capacity, the camera uses either MMC (MultiMediaCard) or SD (Secure Digital) cards for additional storage. The two cards look the same and, in a digital camera, function identically (the SD cards offer some additional copyright management features when used with MP3 music players). Among memory cards, there are currently several competing formats, including CompactFlash, SmartMedia, and Memory Stick. Though MMC/SD is a relatively unusual format for digital cameras, it is popular in MP3 players, camcorders (for digital-still mode), and some models of Palm handhelds. Large-capacity cards are readily available--a 128 MB card, for example, holds over 100 highest-quality photos.

For crystal-clear prints and simple operation at an affordable price, the DX3700 is an excellent choice.

The DX3700 comes with disposable batteries, video cable (for viewing photos on a TV), USB cable (for transferring images to your computer), wrist strap, lens cap, software, manual, and a custom insert for use with the optional docking station. Everything you need to get started is included in the box, but to make the most of your camera, we recommend getting a carrying case, a higher-capacity MMC or SD memory card, and either a set of rechargeable batteries or the EasyShare dock. Compatible accessories are listed higher up on this page.

Buyers are no longer Readers.......2006-12-23

If you expect to get a camera and never read instructions on how to use it then rate this camera poorly. Most customers out there now days want everything to work with little effort. They are lazy and illiterate. Read the instructions that come with this product and it will not give you problems.
The issue with the camera and SD cards and all that compatibility stuff is a crock. The only issue with the camera is the user. SD cards can be found on AMAZON for around $20 for a 1gb card. This is good.
The dock that you can buy for this camera (not required!! can recharge battery without it) is great. Download your pictures fast and easy. If you have problems with the battery, try not leaving the camera on the dock FOR A DAY. If you would have read the instructions it says not to leave it on there for more than FIVE HOURS. Leaving anything with a battery charging for that long will decrease the battery life. This is true with most electronics.
To wrap things up... read instructions, dont be lazy. Things dont work right if they are not used correctly. What do you expect.
BUY THIS CAMERA ITS GREAT!!!

Excellent, Simple Point & Shoot Camera! .......2006-01-31

For those who want good pictures but don't want a large learning curve or alot of buttons to have to push...The KODAK CX7300 is the Winning Ticket! Super Ease Of Use without sacrificing quality! What more could you possibly ask for out of a digital camera. And this amazing camera also takes video! You get the Kodak Name and their Imaging Science Technology that many rave about. Don't waste your money with sophisticated features or a Non-Name Brand...get this camera instead. I HIGHLY RECOMEND!

Don't Buy This Camera.......2005-04-29

Maybe you can take two or three pictures before the battery is dead. The Camera Dock for this camera shows full charge but it still only takes two to three pictures. I use Kodak Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery Pack that came with camera. I replaced it, and it still doesn't work. I sent the camera back to Kodak and they "fixed it". Nothing has changed. I have tried other batteries, to no avail. The pictures aren't really that great, either. The camera and dock are dusty.

BUYER BEWARE........2005-01-11

This product is junk. There is no useful purpose to this hunk o' crap. The pictures suck unless you are in BROAD daylight. The flash dosen't work, and even more pitiful, it makes the pictures DARKER when you have it on. The dock sucks- if it breaks (like it did for me) then you are screwed and cannot charge the camera. Additionally, the battery lasts for about 2 pictures and then it dies. If you turn on the LCD screen, you can probably only count on .5 pictures before it dies. This is the worst electronic product I have ever owned and I am sorry I ever bought a Kodak camera. I will never buy one again, nor will I buy another Kodak product, as I am severely disappointed with this one.

Buy this camera used - 100's of people want to dump theirs.......2004-09-04

This camera is terrible. I can't begin to count the number of precious moments I've LOST because of it. And you can't know how bad it is until AFTER you buy it (unless you read a couple reviews like this one).

See the other reviews for the long list of bad attributes.

The camera has only two advantages:
(1) It's cheap for 3 mega-pixels (but you'd better use it within an hour of removing it from the cradle, and only take about a dozen pictures! Then it's back to the cradle for another day of charging).
(2) There are SO MANY unhappy people with it, you can get it cheap on Ebay, including dock and accessories. (But I wouldn't.)

DON'T BUY IT! Kodak should have recalled it... they make some other good cameras, but this one is an embarrassment.
