Don�t buy this camera [Posted on 2003-11-02] I have had this camera for little more then a year now, and suddenly the camera at times freezes up when I try to turn it off. I tried emailing and calling Kodak for help. After many attempts I was told it will cost $250 to exchange the camera and to forget about servicing it. I did not spend the money on a camera that I can't trust to work after only one year. I will be buying another camera-most likely a Sony I will definitely never buy a Kodak camera again.

Dx3900 - Love it! [Posted on 2004-10-14] Had this camera for a few years now and I ABSOLUTELY love it.
I've never had problems with it and the quality of the photos I take are awesome. I use my camera to take photos that I upload to my blog (on line journal).
The only down side in my opinion I see, the batteries go fast, but I assume thats any camera. The plus side is the fact you can use your double AA batteries or rechargeable ones. So if your recharageables are not charged you can just go to the store and buy regular batteries.
If you're looking to take professional photos I suggest going with a Canon rebel or any of the more expensive professional cameras out there. For a beginner this camera is awesome. This digital camera is very easy to use, even my husband who is not technically savvy finds it easy to use. You can switch within the camera to take color, black and white, or sephia tone. You can internally mess with the F stops, shutter speed, etc...it gives a lot of good options to be creative. Its an easy point and shoot.
I absolutely love this camera. Too bad some folks here seen to have had some bad experience with it. :( On the same note there are a lot of good reviews here for this camera. With anything shop around and see what's out there. :)
Great camera [Posted on 2005-07-26] My first digital camera was a DX3900--great camera. Intuitive and ergonimically sound, worked great--I liked the dock because the NiMH battery would automatically charge and one button transferred pictures. Worked well as a point and shoot and there are stops and adjustments that can be used.
When it was stolen, I replaced it with a DX4530, which was also a good camera and easy to use with the same dock and the same software.
The DX series can't be beat for the price, in my opinion, and i'm about to purchase another--the DX4530 was also stolen.
great camera for a low price [Posted on 2008-05-05] I love my camera it was definitely a good buy. I had some troubles with the battery though. It didn't seem to me that the battery would stay charged very long. I bought an extra battery for backup and it works out great now!
