Kodak EASYSHARE DX3700

Advantages See Below
Disadvantages See Below

...My parents bought me this for my birthday 5 years ago as my first digital camera, it is still being used now by my parents without any problems, I think this stands for the build quality of the camera. Likes: Picture Quality, Ease of Use - Easyshare system is exactly what it says, easy! Taking pictures is easy no messing with loads of menus. The battery life is pretty good on mine (i purchased aftermarket Kodak rechargeables which are much better than the originals). Dislikes: The Size - it is quite a bulky camera so doesn't fit in your pocket very well. Measurements are: 118.7 x 69.5 x 45.8 millimeters No optical Zoom, only 3x digital zoom. The 1.5" Screen is ok but tiny compared to cameras these days. This is an ideal first camera, so if you are after a camera that is simple and takes quality photos and will last... Read review

Advantages software and docking station is a doddle
Disadvantages picture veiwer useless in bright light

...Used on a daily basis never lets me down very good for close up work but not so good for panoramic pictures. The viewer system is probably like most digital cameras and is next to useless in very bright light but in these cases the fixed viewer is adequate. The docking system works very well there is a one touch film upload to Personal computers that automatically deletes successful uploads. The camera is light pocket sizes. The capacity on a 32mb chip is about 32 pictures at super duper quality to around 120 on email quality although this quality in itself is very good. I would say a all-round good camera I purchased this camera when Kodak dropped a brick on the internet but I would have gladly paid the full price for this model.... Read review

Advantages easy to use
Disadvantages suspect batteries, average picture quality

...I also got this camera for £100 thanks to Kodaks mess up, and I`m glad it only cost that much. Any more and it would have gone back.. It looks rather cheap, but feels solid, if a little light. The docking station is rather handy, and functions as a charger for the batteries and connection to your pc via the usb socket. Theres also a usb & external power port on the camera, but you cannot charge the batteries without the dock. The controls on the back are basic, and theres very little control over the pictures it takes, digital zoom (yuck) and controls for the flash, view and delete pictures, and, umm , thats about it. The battery life seems erratic, sometimes just cutting out without warning. Pop open the battery hatch for a second and it will spring back to life (until the next time) The pictures it takes vary a lot between "ok... Read review
