Updated - Kodak DX3700 Digital Camera now $169.99 at some CC B&M

[rebuilder]

Darn fine deal !
Like some others, I too have a large investment in CF and some SM so it would add at least another $40 to the deal to get some MMC of a decent size. And I usually like to have 2 or 3 64mb cards on hand which would make matters worse.
You reckon that might be why they are so cheap?

Thanks for the post, I'm still tempted!

Great idea! Here's a direct link to the Kodak EasyShare Docking Station.

I wonder if there are any free attache case codes available?

Go get a refurb 64mb MMC card at Newegg for $35. Was there just a couple of minutes ago and will not last long.
I thought long and hard and decided not to get it.

If it's not showing in the flash memory category then do a search for Mr. Flash and you should see a refurbished one in the list.

I forgot they also have the 32mb for $18

Look on pricewatch. You can get a new MMC 64MEG for $29.

mmmm..... maybe I'm lookin crosseyed at pricewatch but what I see when you click on the MMC is $42 plus $5 shipping. The $29 is for a card reader.

Kodak must assume that everyone who buys this digicam is going to shell out $79 - $99 for their EasyShare docking station ... I called Kodak tech support asking them since my DX3700 digicam came with a set of Kodak rechargeable batteries is it possible to use an AC adapter (from Radio Shack) to recharge them without having the docking station?

The answer is NO

3 possible solutions:
1) Buy NiMH batteries elsewhere. This is the route I chose, I found 4 Nexcell AA 1600 mAH with MAHA charger and car adapter for $19.95.
2) Buy the Kodak EasyShare Docking Station for $59.39 from OD.com after $20 off $75 coupon and eBates.com
3) Buy Kodak's EasyShare NiMH Rapid Charger for $34.95 which charges the batteries in 2.5 hours and comes with an extra set of batteries. So you'll have 2 sets of batteries total. One came with your DX3700 digicam and one comes with this rapid charger.

Here's a direct link to that product. Sounds awfully tempting esp considering it comes with FREE SHIPPING and a 30 day warranty.

Can you provide a link to where you found that price?

 

[puppyfriend]

Opps. Sorry my bad. I was just looking at the front page with $29 64 MEG MMC on it. When you click on it, it turns out to be a reader. The cheapest MMC is $42.

Rossman: I got the 3700 today and the battery doesnt seem to be rechargeable. Are you sure yours is rechargeable?

Hey, LaBang, if you are unsure of what you really want in a digital camera, maybe you should just invest $60 into the DC3200 and use it as a training / decision making device. i have one, and it has really helped me decide which "serious" camera i should buy. besides, the T.V. out 'slide show feature' makes it worthy of being kept around for an archiving / instant replay tool.

<< Rossman: I got the 3700 today and the battery doesnt seem to be rechargeable. Are you sure yours is rechargeable? >>



Yes but you need either the Kodak EasyShare Docking Station for $59 or the K2000 KODAK Rapid Charger/w 4AA Ni MH Batteries for $34.95 plus shipping (direct from Kodak).

Decisions, decisions.

My camera takes 4 AA's.


Went to Wal-Mart and got 4 NiMh and a charger for around $20


Don't know what Kodak uses?????????



But a 3mp for under $200, Even without zoom (Opt) sounds good.

 

[Vette73]

Now when they come out with a 10mp for $200, now that would be hot




It will happen, not this year probable

After installing the Kodak software crap I'm still not able to transfer picts from digicam to PC via USB.

Anyone else having this problem?

I ordered online and looks like I bought the last one for pickup at the local store. The online price was $199. Will they adjust the difference when I pick it up? I also ordered one online to be delivered. Will they match B&M price? Hmm...

Yes it should show up as $169.99 when you arrive at the store to pick it up.

After you get it, take some pictures and see if you can upload them from camera to PC

RossMAN, how come you don't show up on my MSN Messenger?

<< RossMAN, how come you don't show up on my MSN Messenger? >>



Because I was about to go to sleep and had MSN off.

It's on now.

Let's keep our conversation "G" rated this time, k?

I'm getting this camera for my parents. I paid more for my 1.3MP camera than this costs. What a steal.

 

[RossMAN]

polotek147 - I know what you mean. 2 years ago when I paid $50 for my Fuji Finepix 1400 digicam (1.3MP) it was retailing for $299 from Amazon.com

LOL Today I can get something with almost 3x the resolution for almost half the price.

Sorry I'm a newbie,


oops read the post worng and answered my own question... sorry... = P

 

[polotek147]

How's the picture quality on this camera considering there is no Optical zoom?

 

[RossMAN]

Here are some sample pictures taken with this digicam.

 

[polotek147]

Sample Pics are very nice. Even the far away shots are good.

 

[RossMAN]

So have you bought this digicam yet? If not, why not?
