Customer Reviews

Kodak Quality Combined with Ease of Use
I have been a kodak digital camera user for several years with thousands of pictures taken on my DX3500 for my job. I decided to start looking for a family printer/camera combo and came across this one at a local store. I checked on Amazon and found it much cheaper with special offers to boot!! Anyway the camera is excellent with enough features and options for the casual photographer. The size is just right and i can easly put it in my pocket with it being just a little larger than a clamshell mobile phone. The photo process was so simple my 6 year old was printing pictures and the quality is equal to standard developed pictures. Another great feature is when you place your camera on the printer dock its recharging the kodak supplied rechargeable batteries so your always ready to go. I trully was amazed at the quality of the photos and no computer is needed to print out amazing shots. This kit is well thought out and Kodak includes EVERYTHING you need to get going, rechargeable batteries and all the cables needed to hook up to the computer whether just the camera or the printer its all there no need to run to the store and buy anything your ready to go out of the box. You get a 10 sheet sample pack of photo paper and ink which we used up the first day just taking shots around the house. I ordered the PH160 by Kodak off of amazon which gives me a .23 per picture average which equals our local store. The great quality, ease of use with the camera and printer, excellent picture quality with no extras to buy equals a solid value by Kodak right out of the box. **Do not be fooled by other printer combos as many do not include cables, batteries, ink, paper etc. and upon purchasing these items the price is right up to the initial kodak combo price.**

Couldn't be happier!
After nearly numbing my brain researching a variety of cameras and reading all the reviews for each I settled on this particular model. I received this camera on 11/28/2005 and have given it a real workout taking pix of my grandson who was born 4 days later. With the exception of a few photos which were a little out of focus due to, I believe, operator error the photos have been wonderful. I have not taken any outdoor shots as yet but I can't imagine the quality being any different. I have not tried out all the different settings which include ones for snow and beach and children and more.

The printer has worked perfectly and makes beautiful prints. As for the ink cartridge and paper - I have never run out of ink before I ran out of paper. It has been my experience that the "low ink" message appears when about three sheets are left but it has printed the remaining sheets perfectly before the message tells you to replace the cartridge. By the way I have taken and printed approximately 70 photos. You may or may not consider that limited experience.

I took all my photos set on the minimum megapixel setting because I didn't want to run out of memory. So I decided to purchase more memory. Now I look forward to changing the setting so that I can make enlargements.

As for the Easyshare program - it is great. You can download the photos and arrange them in "albums" with dates which makes it easier to go back and retrieve them quickly. You can email directly from the Easyshare program. Among the things the program does is let you crop, enhance, and work on any red-eye problems plus other fun features. I have also used the downloading feature where I downloaded some of my favorites including ones I had "played" with(as in cropping, etc) to a CD and took to my favorite neighborhood store and made copies using their "self-serve" equipment. Very easy to do.

Obviously you may get more features with a higher grade Kodak digital but this camera suits my needs and you can't beat the price. With the current offer I received the travel case which is great since it holds the camera, the docking station, print tray and all accessories. This all in one package is perfect for taking to special occasions where you might want to put an album together on the spot for the honoree.

Oh, by the way, at the hospital someone picked up my camera and promptly dropped it while handing it to me. It hit the floor and I cringed but the camera had no external damage and obviously no internal damage either since I have taken about 50 pix since with perfect results.

If I ever decide to upgrade my digital camera I will stay with Kodak. And I will already have the docking station and printer! Guess you could say I am very pleased with the product.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to operate this camera. I am definitely not a hi-tech person and I don't care for convoluted instructions or buttons and knobs that make your eyes cross, so I found this camera to be perfect for me.

Hope you find this review helpful.

A good camera and printer bundle.
This is a good and simple bundle to get as a gift for someone who's more on the technology challenged side. I bought this bundle for my Mom and it was a perfect gift for her. The camera is good and easy to use. The printer was a little bit harder to figure out, but once we figured it out, it's now easy to use. It's a good bundle gift because it comes with everything you need to get started; camera, printer, and all the accessories you need. I would buy two additional items with this bundle: a larger memory card and more photo printer. 16MB memory card is too small, and you will burn through the 10 pieces of photo paper that it comes with very quickly.

She loves that she's able to take pictures and print them out right away. She hasn't quite learnt/understand the concept of keeping digital files on the computer, but she understands the concept of taking a picture and then printing it out right away. This camera is different than many digital cameras nowadays in that it also has labels for the commonly used buttons on the back. This helps my mom greatly because she can't remember what every little icon means. This camera also has the look and feel of a "traditional" camera. Sometimes the cameras that would appeal to someone that is more technologically savvy, really intimidates those who are not. This is a very good package that gives you new technology without being intimidating.

I would say it's a good package gift, but if you're looking for high quality, high technology, you'll do better getting separate units.
