Kodak Easyshare Camera Dock Series 3

Good Product

My first camera and dock I gave to my daughter, then bought a new...better...camera. I needed a dock to charge the batery and bought this one. It works well!

Works as described...except it does NOT include the AV cable. When you get it it says on the box the AV cable is included in "select offers", whatever that means. The Amazon description says it includes it.Of course my camera included it and I used that one...but now it's a pain to disconnect it from behind my TV to take on the road if I want to. So I'll probably have to spring for a second one. But that takes away from the value of this item. I was originally looking for an extra AV cable to keep connected behind my TV so the cable is always around. I saw this charging base (docking station) which said it came with the cable...for $20 more.So figure on how you're going to use this docking station before you buy it. For me, I planned to use it by leaving it on top of my TV and cables connected to my TV...not to my computer. For my computer, I have a chip reader to view/transfer my pictures. I doubt many people have their computer near their TV, so it's likely you will only use this dock for either by your computer OR by your TV. If it's the latter, it only has half of what you need, the AV cable is missing. If it's the former, it's everything you are looking for.It's nice and compact. I considering a printer/docking station, but as we all know, we can get cost effect perfect prints online...or at many retailers. A home printer would be nice for the occasional quick print (like to give right away to a guest), but for $150...it didn't seem versatile enough for me (limited to 4x6).So there you have it. It's described well on the site except for the missing cable.

This dock is supposed to work with my new Kodak Z812IS digital camera. The dock arrived promptly, and it was brand new, in the original box. Unfortunately, when I hooked it up and attempted to dock my camera, it wouldn't work. I was really disappointed, as I travel a lot and prefer to use rechargable batteries and take the dock with me. Every time Kodak issues a new camera, it takes a new dock, too. I returned the dock to the seller the next day and asked for store credit and a catalog, but I have not heard from the seller yet. I'm hoping I won't be out the $50!

Received this purchase BEFORE time promised and in excellent condition. For first time digital camera users such as myself, this was easy to use and a good starting system.

This package is great. You get the rechargable battery, the dock, which charges the battery and allows for syncing to your computer. I have Kodak Z740 and I use a Mac, so I use iPhoto and as soon as I hit the transfer button on the dock, it launches iPhoto and begins the import process. Doesn't get any easier than that.You don't need to turn your camera on to sync, which is great. However, the only problem I have with the unit is that the camera activates and will not deactivate unless I turn it on and off again.Overall, a great addition to anyone with a series 3 Kodak Easy Share Digital Camera.

it was rocky, and missed the adapter as if $50 wasn't enough for this thing, they want to bleed the user for an adapter this generic model. boo.but it did work well for what it was.

This item was recommended to me by my daughter. She explained that it is actually easier and cheaper than to buy batteries for the camera. I keep my camera sitting on the dock, so it is always ready to use. I recently took the camera and dock on vacation with me and it was always ready for me to take a picture. It was not available in local stores, so I was very happy I could order it from Amazon.
