Great camera but...
I bought this camera just this week. So far I love it! I was surprised on how sharp my close up pictures turned out, some were amazing. I went and got the camera dock after hearing how great it was..I totally agree, Kodak couldn't have made it any simpler, just take your shots and sit in on the dock and press a botton. I am having a blast!! One thing I'm not really happy with is the photo editing software, it could have been much better,It just seems limited on what you can do with it..Other than the software I can't say enough about this camera. If your looking for your first digital camera this one has my vote.

Great Digital for Beginners
What I love about this camera: 1) Very easy to use--what you see in the viewfinder is what you get. And you can immediately see the results on the LCD screen on the back of the camera. 2) The dock is wonderful-just like a palm pilot for pictures - set the camera in the dock, push the button and your pictures are loaded into the computer. It's that simple! It also recharges the batteries when it is in the dock - a HUGE benefit because the digital cameras need a lot of juice.
What I don't really like: 1) The picture quality is uneven - some pictures are great, some just don't work. Not as much a problem since you can delete them, but that very special photo op may not be captured by this camera (keep a film camera for the most important occasions -- like your son's first home run hit). 2) The camera's user interface is clunky beyond point and shoot pictures. Don't expect a lot of bells and whistles. This is strictly a amateur's camera.
Overall we are very happy with this camera. We get surprizingly good prints out of our $99 epson bubble jet printer (on the special photo paper). It is ideal for the beginner digital camera user who want to send email pictures and take lots of good quality photos for pennies versus the expense of developing film. I gave it five stars because it did everything we asked and more.

Great photos, easy software! Another great Kodak product!
This digital camera is a delight to own and use. This bundle is so great because it INCLUDES the Kodak DX 3500 digital camera *and* the Kodak Camera Dock. As someone who has used cameras that do not come with a simple snap-in bundled dock, I've been frustrated, but this makes it soooo easy to upload images to your computer for sharing and/or printing. The dock is also great because it recharges the battery in a snap, instead of fumblign with awkward chargers and losing batterie around the house. ("Honey, where's the battery charging now?")
The camera itself has a 2.2-megapixel sensor that allows you to ceate generous prints up to 8" x 10". Most people tend to stick to the 4" x 6" prints, but it is nice to have the option.
The 3x digital zoom lens with autofocus and 8 MB internal memory is enough for most pictures, but this could have been a bit larger. In some instances you might find yourself hurrying back to the computer to transfer the images so you can take more pics. Depending on the format size of the image, you'll be able to take about 40 photos (more than a 36 exposure roll of tradtional film - yeah!) before needing to transfer images to your computer. Overall, this is a great camera at a super value.
