Summary: Impossible battery life My wife and I bought this camera about a year ago. Right from the get go it had problems. We bought it on line so there was no recourse from the dealer,(if you buy a camera, go to an actual store, there are real people in case you have a problem!!!). Kodak customer support is a joke, if not down right rude, and offers no help. The problem withthe camera is that the batteries last for only 3 or 4 shots. If you buy the Kodak lithium cell($20.00!) it lasts for about 20 shots. If you do a little research you find that the camera requires 3.3 volts at up to 2.5 amps. No combination of AA cells deliver 3.3 volts (rechargables deliver 1.2 volts per cell and even lithium cells only deliver 1.6 volts) and anything south of a "D" cell wont deliver its rated voltage at 2.5 amps for very long. The long and short of it is that the DX3700 was a defective product from the start and short of fabricating an external battery pack with "D" cells, you better look for another camera. Summary: great camera This camera is great for everyday use. The 3.1 megapixels effective make it a worthwhile buy. Definitely a graet camera. Summary: Camera software problems on some computers running WindowsXP I have a different model Kodak camera, however they all use the same EasyShare software. Running Windows XP, I could not get the software to work properly. After several hours on the phone with Kodak tech support, they couldn't get it working either. They said they are aware of the problem on some computers running Windows XP. It is now several months later and they still don't have a fix. They don't really seem to care either. It might not be a bad idea to consider other brands, instead of Kodak. Since, if the software won't work properly, then what good is the camera? Summary: The DX3700 3.1-megapixel camera Extraordinarily basic camera. No optical zoom. No manual settings. No movie mode. In other words, the camera is literally a point-and-shoot camera...much like a typical entry-level 35mm film camera is. The DX3700 prints surprisingly good-looking images up to 5x7's, but 8x10's look a tad grainy...a shortcoming of Kodak's 3 megapixel CCD and lens quality (or lack thereof), I think. I've seen Olympus and Nikon 3 megapixel cameras produce noticeably sharper images. But if you don't need a zoom lens and only want to make 4" prints, this camera is a very affordable and simple solution. It's also great to give to kids who want or need a simple digital camera. Summary: Bad battery/power management This camera was purchased for me for a gift. Unfortunately, it has performed poorly in terms of power from day one. Even after a fresh kodak rechargable and fresh charge, I get 2-4 pictures before the camera dies. I am trying to get the problem fixed, but I suggest staying away from this nearly featureless dog. |
