Kodak DX3500

September 2001

To transfer images, you place the camera in the dock, press the button, and all images are automatically sent to the computer. You can then edit, e-mail and print them using bundled picture-managing software. I found that transferring images to both PC and Mac and using both compact Flash and internal memory was equally successful. Kodak Picture Transfer software is launched automatically, so it cannot be simpler to use. I also thought that Kodak Picture software was one of the better image-management packages out there—it goes beyond basic in editing capabilities and was very user-friendly.

All in all, as a point-and-shoot camera, the DX3500 offers uncomplicated setup, easy image transfer and quick battery recharge.

It comes with two AA lithium batteries, video-out cable, USB cable, wrist strap and software. The optional camera dock includes a rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack and AC adapter.
