Kodak Easy Share Camera anyone?

[Threehearts]

Has anyone purchased the Kodak digital Easy Share camera? This is the one where you have a docking station and printer and you can print right from the camera to the printer without needing a computer. It makes 4x6 prints with a printer paper/ink cartridge. If you do have one, how do you like it and how many pixels did you get? They have one now w/5K pix. and the pkg. costs about $350. It looks really great for someone who isn't super w/a computer(me). My husband has a great dig. camera but 2 years later, he has yet to send in a single photo for printing. Thanks for your help. Threeehearts

I've been looking at one of these too, so I'm anxious to see the responses.

We have always been "real" camera people.
Last year my DH came home one day with a Kodak Easy Share DX6340 and I must admit I was really not keen on the idea.

Boy, was I wrong! I am crazy about this camera!

It takes the most fantastic pictures! The software is easy enough for even ME to use and I am NOT technically minded. I love the docking station- super easy, in fact I just printed out a few pictures this morning to send to a friend! The print quality is second to none.

I had a question once recently that I could not figure out on my own and called their tech support #. The young man that helped me was incredibly patient and took 45 minutes to teach me how to do what I needed to do. Never rushed me, even though I kept making mistakes he just said "that's alright, you'll get it. Let's start over". This was at no cost to me.

I love being able to keep my 2 sisters, who live 600 and 900 miles away, up to date on my kids. We come home from a school event or a fun day-trip and presto! I email pictures to them right away. It has really helped to keep us connected as a family.
I can assure you that you will not be disappointed by making this purchase.
I have seen adds in the newspaper lately for them, where everything is included ( meaning the station and everything) and I am amazed at how much the price has come down since we bought ours too!

Two years ago, after a trip to Disney World it cost me over $250 to have all of our pictures developed at Sam's club.

Last year we took over 500 pictures on our new Kodak Easy Share. I have them on a disc! Now I have more $$ to spend on our trips!

I love mine!!! I have the Kodak Easy Share DX6440 which came with the dock that recharges the battery, and also loads directly to my computer. I opted not to get the printer dock because the photo lady kind of talked me out of it because of the cost of the paper/ink cartridges. I absolutely LOVE mine!! It is a 4.0 megapixel, and a decent zoom.....lovin' it!! I can't wait to go to DIS in June to try it out!!

We have the DX6440 also. Its a great camera. I had a cheaper Kodak Easy Share camera first to make sure I liked it.

BTW, you definately DO NOT need the camera dock. Just buy yourself a battery charger. The pictures are super easy to transfer from the camera to the PC.

I agree with the above posters about the dock, it is NOT a necessary thing. Having said that though, I must say the print quality is so fantastic that I am glad we have ours. Our pc printer is a HP Deskjet 952 c and their Photo paper in comparably priced but the print quality just doesn't compare.

A nice feature is the configuration options you can choose from.
For example: 4x6, 2-up wallets, 6-up passport, 4 -up 1.75x 2.75 in., 1 up 10x 15 cm (centered) and a 20 pic index card.

It is fun for my daughter who is 9 and likes to scrapbook. I ask her to use one of the smaller picture options so she gets more pictures, just not as big. No waste. It is also great for sending a picture to someone, like the grandmother who is not a pc owner and therefore doesn't "do" email, if I just want her to see a picture but know that she doesn't need to frame it or anything. I print out the 2-ups for her so she can stick them in her purse and show off the grandkids when she is out to lunch with her gal-friends.
True the paper packs aren't cheap but because you only print out the pictures you really want to, they go a long way.

Alright! I have to have it. I am going to get one today. These positive reviews only add to the ones I read about online. Threehearts

I like mine, but my computer keeps forgetting it's compatible without and I can't get my pics to download. It's just my computer though. If I hadn't just bought a printer a few months ago, I'd get one with the docking station. My SIL is going to buy one for her easyshare, I guess I'll have an excuse to see her more often.

I bought one w/the printer dock about 3 months ago. I love it! I too am not a super computer user, I did however sit down w/the directions and was able to easily download pics and email them now. The printer comes in great when you need just 1 or 2 pics and don't want to develope a whole roll of film.

Well, I didn't get my camera today after all. I can't find any good deals at stores near me and I need it for Chincoteague this weekend so I don't have the internet as an option. I'll keep you posted. Threehearts

I am on my 2nd Kodac, I upgraded because I needed MORE PIXELS!!!

I have the LS443 it is a Kodac 4.O megapixel with a dock (but not the printer one) I love this camera. The picture of my son was taken with the old Kodac, the picture of the flowers was taken with my new one, just to give u an idea. I bought mine at Best Buy where they honored an advertised competitor's price.

PS keep in mind I'm not a great photographer lol
