Kodak Easyshare Camera Dock (Series 3)

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!

I bought this dock to use with my Kodak C813 camera. It supposedly also works with several other models of Kodak Easyshare cameras. I also own a Kodak Easyshare DX 4330 and dock, and have found it very easy to transfer pictures using this method and to keep the camera charged.

The dock worked fine to transfer pictures as long as you put the bundled batteries that came with the camera in it before transferring. The dock could not seem to sense regular Kodak rechargeable batteries, and if it can't sense those, then I doubt it could sense other brands of rechargeables.

I returned the camera after a few days of use because in the sun I could only see my own reflection and couldn't get good pictures, so now I have a dock I do not need. The Amazon merchant only wanted returns of unopened boxes.

Camera dock does just what I need for it to do. Works great! No complaints from me.

RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA DOCK TO ANY ONE THAT LIKES TO TAKE LOTS OF FAMILY PHOTOS. EASY TO USE AND MAINTAIN. KEEPS YOUR CAMERA SAFE AND READY WHEN YOU FIND THAT PERFECT PICTURE.

Has not worked since I bought it. After several tech support calls to Kodak and receipt of a new cable, the rep finally told me that most people do not use this dock to transfer pictures - they have problems with it. I use it as a battery charger.

The camera is good but the dock is what makes getting the photos to the computer and keeping it charged so easy. Great value.

I ordered the wrong dock. When I contacted the supplier, cameraguy, he was more than happy od exchange it for the right one on a timely basis. I was extremely satisfied with his service and helfulness.
Thank you.

Bought this with my P712 camera. It should come with the camera. I had to buy it from a differnt vendor. I love it and it really makes the camera much easier to use and charge. Also great to download the pict's onto the computar. I would highly recomend it. It makes storing the camera much easier.

It Was not all there the part to put the camera on did not come and i need that to put the camera on so please it for a c875 camera please think you w.b

Very easy to install; Great tool for easily downloading photos to computer and removing from camera; Would recommend to anybody.

The easy share dock is a great little device delivering everything promised. My one complaint, albeit minor, is that the entire "Easy Share" system of Kodak might be wonderful to someone new to digital photography. It would be very useful to that newbie in storing pictures with a PC to hard drive, CD or DVD, but I found the software's folder stucture contrary to the way I do things. "its way" isn't flexible enough to allow me to continue to do various picture tasks my way. After using EasyShare to download pictures from the camera via the dock, I always have to move files around to suit the way I've done things for several years. As to the dock, I'd recommend it to anyone. It's a nice unit.

I bought this for my mother-in-law who is in her 80s and set it up for her. It's quite easy if you're already computer literate, and the controls are very user friendly as well. The software could use a few tweaks to make it not look so basic, but for someone like my mother-in-law, it works well.

Wish I had a docking station for my Nikon.

Not impressed at all with this product. You are better off just to plug in your camera in the USB port and let Windows process it. At least you will get a chance to indicate where you want your pictures saved. I suggest you don't use Easyshare software. Windows Pic and Fax Viewer is far superior to this software. If you decide you will use it you will find that all your pics on the hard drive will be set to use Easyshare. The solution to this is to uninstall Easyshare and all pics with revert to Windows.

Easy to use, works as described, compact, the whole Kodak Easyshare system is a dream and well designed.

The Kodak camera dock makes digital pictures easy. Push one button to download all of your pictures and it charges the battery at the same time.

easy to use and understand, quality,keeps camera fully charged at all times

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.

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.

The dock works okay. The camera tilt when it is in the mount bothers me. It just feels like it is not setting
securely and that contact between socket and plug is not completely engaged

Within two months the dock stopped getting power. I tried buying a new AC Adpater power source, but the problem was obviously with the unit itself. Kodak said, "too bad. you can send it in for repairs." Hardly worth the trouble. Not crazy about the C330 camera either.

A must have with the Kodak. Makes charging and sync much easier. No hassel with ordering or shipping.

Koadak's usb connections are so crappy, mine went south in one month. The Dock, with it's rechargable batterys, is the thing you cant do without,

I'm very happy with this dock because its so easy to use. Within minutes of receiving it I took it out the box and plugged up my camera, which had been dead for far too long. My camera was charged and ready to go in a couple of hours!

After careful research to be sure that this was the proper dock for my new Kodak to which I have been faithful to as a local company(Rochester NY) I purchased the dock only to find out that the wrong battery was supplied with it. After contacting Kodak customer support I was informed that the correct battery only came packaged if you purchased the camera and dock together.
After a long conversation I was bottom line told,too bad so sad.
Well there goes your local company support for the price of a battery.

This is in no way Amazons fault.

The camera dock did come with the AC power supply, so not sure why this was not available to others who ordered.

This dock is very easy to use and makes transferring my pictures easy.

I bought this as a gift, my friend wanted it for over 7 months, so when her birthday rolled around, I hurried to find just what I needed and had it shipped to her in Virginia. She was very excited and is very happy with the product. I am glad I was able to do all this over the internet! Amazon is a great convenience!

This item arrived in a timely manner and was in excellent condition. It works perfectly and is under full warranty. I would not hesitate to order from Amazon in the future.

Since I dont like to use the printer dock, this dock is great. By having the adapter when I purchased my Z740 from Kodak, the camrea fits perfectly. The rechargable battery that is supplied works great and doesnt drain down at all. Just by placing the camera back on the dock and allowing my pictures to transfer, within minutes my battery is back to full capacity. It is a great dock and I highly recommend it.

GREAT PRODUCT AND NOT VERY EXPENSIVE EITHER.WONDERFUL WAY TO REVIEW YOUR PICTURES AND CHARGE THE BATTERY.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This is a great product. It is very user friendly and provides mutiple options based on personnal preference.

I really appreciate the Amazon on line suggestion that I consider puuchasing this dock. It is a great tool for quick charging my camera. The cost was very reasonable and it really increased the process of transfering photos quickly to my computer.

The dock was shipped on time and it works perfectly. Everything I needed to use the dock was included with my package. The dock is very easy to use -- I love it!

Having this dock is wonderful, just put the camera on it and it charges. Camera always ready to go. No more plugging in the charger and taking the battery out of the camera. No more resetting the dates and times. Very easy.

I bought this for my Dad who has a Kodak C330 Camera so he could look at the pictures on his TV. I got it because it says you can do this but in reality when you get it it says in small print a/v cable included on some models, this one was not. So another $20 to get the cable which is all he needed anyway as it plugs directly into his camera and into his TV. The Dock itself works fine but they should tell you which docks get a/v cables and which do not. Sounds like a bean counter trying to make Kodak more money. Not a wise move.

This is nothing more than an expensive battery charger. Before ordering, I sent a note to Kodak, asking what was needed to display photos from a C310 on a TV. Their response was to buy the Kodak Easyshare Camera Dock Series 3. I looked on the Amazon web site and with the description for this product, it said "In addition to a USB 1.1 cable, the Camera Dock Series 3 also comes with an AV cable, enabling you to display photo slideshows to friends and family via your TV." This is a lie. No AV cable is included. It's another order and another $20 to get the cable. No wonder that Kodak is a fraction of the company it once was.

but after about 3 months stopped recharging batteries, only one light lit up and would stay there instead of charging back up to three. Thought the batteries might just have been spent so i got new batteries for the cam and these brand new batteries still only get the one light, so i mooed like a cow and flopped like a one eyed salmon trying to get upstream.

For some reason, I did not receive cables either. At the "List" price, I thought it was too expensive (thinking cables were included). At Amazon's price with free shipping and no tax to my state (CA), I was able to justify the cost. I mainly use it to keep the batteries charged at all times. The transfer button (I had no problems with it) is handy. Even though the transfer is slow (compared to my DSLR), I don't have to keep popping my SD card in and out; which cuts the odds that I get something foreign in the works. Its' three segmented lights give you somewhat of an indication of the state of battery charge. When you press the transfer button, a single light blinks indicating that it's ready to transfer pictures. It's pretty nice looking (silver over black) and stable on my computer work area. Just remember where that little clear adapter that came with your camera is, you will need it to mount your camera to this unit.

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.

My camera dock will recharge the camera batteries, but the transfer button doesn't work. It doesn't make a connection to my computer. So far, it's just an expensive battery charger. There's very little documentation included and troubleshooting has been difficult. I wish I'd saved my money.

This product was received in rapid time. However, I ordered and wrong item. I was so happy to be able to return it and have my account credited for the purchase. This transaction was also very prompt and accurate!

Kodak has taken the mystery out of digital cameras and getting the pictures out of the camera and into the computer where you can work with them. Everything about the system, from the camera to the software, worked well. Congratulations, Kodak!

Item performs exactly as expected. The Kodak docking system with software is a prime reason for sticking with Kodak Easy-Share digital cameras.

Don't bother with this expensive piece of junk. I only charged my camera once before the printer dock quit working. I didn't get the chance to print a single picture. Kodak's responce? Ship it to them and they will look at it.

I enjoy the docking system, which is why I bought another Kodak digital camera. My kids fuss over who gets to push the button "to see the pictures". The software has improved since our last camera as well, with the ability to trim your video to pick out the pieces that you really want.

The only con that I have is that it's a bit harder to fit the camera in. We have to use an adapter with it (which came with the camera), and for some reason, it has made it feel clunky to put the camera on. Since we do have small children, the dock is up high. It is much easier when the dock is eye-level or below you so you can see where to connect everything up. Hence not a 5 star rating.

Other than that, I love the ease of the dock.
Thanks for taking the time to read...

I bought two cameras for my 8 & 6 Y.O. for Christmas and purchased this for them to be able to download their own photos to the computer. It works great and is no problem for them to understand.

Can see or find nothing to fault. Works perfectly in all features, small, well made and very simple to use, great price.
