Maybe you can take two or three pictures before the battery is dead. The Camera Dock for this camera shows full charge but it still only takes two to three pictures. I use Kodak Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery Pack that came with camera. I replaced it, and it still doesn't work. I sent the camera back to Kodak and they "fixed it". Nothing has changed. I have tried other batteries, to no avail. The pictures aren't really that great, either. The camera and dock are dusty.

This product is junk. There is no useful purpose to this hunk o' crap. The pictures suck unless you are in BROAD daylight. The flash dosen't work, and even more pitiful, it makes the pictures DARKER when you have it on. The dock sucks- if it breaks (like it did for me) then you are screwed and cannot charge the camera. Additionally, the battery lasts for about 2 pictures and then it dies. If you turn on the LCD screen, you can probably only count on .5 pictures before it dies. This is the worst electronic product I have ever owned and I am sorry I ever bought a Kodak camera. I will never buy one again, nor will I buy another Kodak product, as I am severely disappointed with this one.

This camera is terrible. I can't begin to count the number of precious moments I've LOST because of it. And you can't know how bad it is until AFTER you buy it (unless you read a couple reviews like this one).

See the other reviews for the long list of bad attributes.

The camera has only two advantages:
(1) It's cheap for 3 mega-pixels (but you'd better use it within an hour of removing it from the cradle, and only take about a dozen pictures! Then it's back to the cradle for another day of charging).
(2) There are SO MANY unhappy people with it, you can get it cheap on Ebay, including dock and accessories. (But I wouldn't.)

DON'T BUY IT! Kodak should have recalled it... they make some other good cameras, but this one is an embarrassment.

If you already bought it, congratulations, you have been fooled by Kodak to be included into their Beta testing on Digital products.
Bad pictures, except for in good light, Bad battery, Zoom is useless, Memory too small. Pictures have a dark lines when taken in the dark.

This product has the worst of All the features I have seen in Digital cameras. I sets an standard for other manufacturers on how low they can get in quality. Kodak should recall this product to keep thier reputation. If they dont somebody should force a recall.

First let me start by saying: "DON'T BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK"

Our first digital camera was a Kodak easyshare, I don't recall the model. However, it was a great little point and shoot camera that took at least 20 - 30 photos without any problems. We filled up the memory before we used up the battery life. Because we were comfortable with the Kodak we had, we went ahead and bought the Kodak 3700 camera for my daughter's 16th birthday only to be completely disappointed months later. The camera has almost never worked correctly. After a few months we started experiencing the charging problems just like many others who have posted their reviews here. The camera takes 1 or 2 pics and then the battery is dead. We thought perhaps our daughter never charged the battery correctly when it was brand new, so we replaced the lithium battery, but the problems did not resolve. We tried rechargeable batteries, but the problems did not resolve. We thought it might be the camera dock and tried at a friend's house, but the problem still did not resolve. This product is junk and should have been recalled as there is an obvious manufacturer's defect. Kodak has offered no resolve or replacement. Too little information too late for us, but heed the warning for those looking to buy this camera today. DON'T DO IT!!!!!

For those who want good pictures but don't want a large learning curve or alot of buttons to have to push...The KODAK CX7300 is the Winning Ticket! Super Ease Of Use without sacrificing quality! What more could you possibly ask for out of a digital camera. And this amazing camera also takes video! You get the Kodak Name and their Imaging Science Technology that many rave about. Don't waste your money with sophisticated features or a Non-Name Brand...get this camera instead. I HIGHLY RECOMEND!

If you expect to get a camera and never read instructions on how to use it then rate this camera poorly. Most customers out there now days want everything to work with little effort. They are lazy and illiterate. Read the instructions that come with this product and it will not give you problems.
The issue with the camera and SD cards and all that compatibility stuff is a crock. The only issue with the camera is the user. SD cards can be found on AMAZON for around $20 for a 1gb card. This is good.
The dock that you can buy for this camera (not required!! can recharge battery without it) is great. Download your pictures fast and easy. If you have problems with the battery, try not leaving the camera on the dock FOR A DAY. If you would have read the instructions it says not to leave it on there for more than FIVE HOURS. Leaving anything with a battery charging for that long will decrease the battery life. This is true with most electronics.
To wrap things up... read instructions, dont be lazy. Things dont work right if they are not used correctly. What do you expect.
BUY THIS CAMERA ITS GREAT!!!
