EasyShare - Piece of JUNK!

2008-05-11
One of the worst products that I have ever owned. Poorly quality, unreliable.

Printer software is bloated and slows down the computer at boot. Synching a camera with the computer is hit or miss. Often takes several iterations of plugging/unplugging the camera/dock. Printer paper won't feed properly - gets jammed every other picture and ends up wasting the color carteridge. All-in-all this is a piece of junk and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Prints about 1 picture out of 10 successfully and even then the quality is not that great.

Only significant use I've found for this is as an ugly paperweight.

bad follow up quick shipment

when the product didnt work with the home computer after the sale they did not even respond to an email trying to figure out what to do. the product was shipped quickly.

Quick home made pictures

This is a great item to have if you want certain photos immediately. The cost per picture is a little high, but it is all about speed and is useful for a picture or so that you want to give someone immediately without waiting to have them developed. I would have given it a higher rating, but sometimes I have to manually push the paper forward instead of it doing this automatically as it did when new several months ago. It works well with the Z group of Kodak cameras.

Great quality pics, poor quality printer

If you look at the reviews, you'll notice a Jekyll and Hyde trend in the reviews. Most everyone likes the prints when the printer works. I truly hope Kodak steps up their quality control program. I too am one of those consumers that likes the printer, but darned if I can get it to work. I bet you I have only made a dozen prints and this thing has been a paperweight ever since. Darn those people from Kodak. If you disregard these negative reviews, BUYER BEWARE!

Super Printer

2008-01-20
This Printer prints out awesome pictures that look as if they were professionally printed. The printer only takes seconds to print out any photo you want and with great quality. I will be purchasing the bigger Kodak easy share printer to go along with my Kodak camera and the printer that I have now. This is a superior product and worth every penny and a little more!!!

Worked great for a little while

2008-01-04
My husband purchased this for me last Christmas along withthe camera. It worked great for a little while. I used it every so often, maybe I printed a total of 60 photos in the one year that I had it. One problem I have always experienced is that the printer cartridge runs out long before the paper. You cannot buy the cartridged separately so this has been very frustrating...I am left with loads of expensive paper and no cartridged.

Then, I go to print a photo last month and the printer is only printing 1/2 the photo. I had to send the item back to Kodak only to find out they want $80.00 for the repair. I told them to throw it out. What a waste....I wish I my husband had never purchased it.

STAY AWAY - Pictures are great - paper feeder works 2% of the time

2007-12-27
Absolutly the worst engineered paper feeder of all time. The frustration far exceeds the nice pictures. "Easy"share? You've got to be kidding. That is the LAST thing this printer dock is. Stay FAR away from this one. This one worked for 22 pictures, then would no longer pull in paper.

Totally Pleased. First rate photo's at home, smae price or less.

Totally Pleased. First rate photo's at home, same price or less as store processed. I have used the dock extensively! Owned for 18 months now. printed a few hundred pictures not one failure or problem.

BUYER BEWARE KODAK EASYSHARE PRINTER DOCK SERIES 3

2007-12-13
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!BUYER BEWARE this printer has been one agonizing problem after another and now IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. It does print nice pictures when it works. Right now my pictures do not load, I went to tech support and they told me I have to send in the printer for repair. I bought this in April of 2007 and it quit working in November of 2007. I maybe printed 100 pictures in that time. Take my advice and save yourself the money, time, and headache. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THE EASYSHARE PRINTER DOCK SERIES 3!!!! I would not even want a free one (I'm not kidding, it is too frustrating).

	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

Editorial Reviews from Book News, Inc.
A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography. The Grottas provide reality checks on such issues as whether the number of megapixels really matter, and tips on camera selection, use, and e-mailing and organizing photos. The handbook includes color and b&w images, a glossary, and sidebars and Web links for further technical details.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
